THE OLD YELLOW PUMPKIN.

How dear to the heart is the old yelltw
when orchards are barren Of stufilng for
pies; .,-
when apples and peaches have both been
And berries of no kind have greeted the
eyes;
How fondiy we turn to the fruit OF 'he
cornield,
The fruit that our children were taught to
desplse,
The old yellow pumpkin the mud-ccvered
The big-beiied pumpkin that makes such
good pies
OH golden-hued pumpkin, you surely are
In It.
You Jolly old rascal so recently spurned
We ask your forgiveness for thus having
wronged you
When from your dear presence we scorn-
fully turned.
Come rolling down the hill till we meet yoJ
and greet you,
Your bulk is a feast TO our fruit-hungry
eyes.
We love you, old pumpkin, so much we
could eat you.
For you are dandy when made into pies.
Oh! dear yellow pumpkin, the highly priced
pumpkin,
Around which our memory doth lovingly
twine,
May we never forget to plant you and hoe
you.
The time-honored pumpkin that grows on
the vine.
And may we all ever kindly remember
The friends of our youth that are passing
away.
And when our life's Journey in triumph IS
ended,
May we be remembered as sweetly as
they.

He Feared to Presume.

The American tourist is so firmly
convinced that he is being cheated on
all hands during his European travels
that he occasionally oversteps the
bounds of prudence. "What is the price
Of this pin?" asked a young man in a
Paris shop, handling a small silver
brooch of exquisite workmanship.
Twenty francs, monsieur" said NNe
cierk. That's altogether too much.

THE YOUNGEST OFFICER.
He Is Lieut.. Hugh j. NcEigin, OF the
Forty-Seventh In
faptry.

Lieut.. Hugh j. McElgiu, Of the Forty
seventh infantry, now in Manila, is, il
is asserted, the youngest officer in the
volunteer service. lie has only just
passed his nineteenth birthday, says
the New York Herald.
He belongs in Brooklyn, \. y. When
the war began he enlisted with his
brother in Col. Grants regiment, the
Fourteenth. AS he had been trained in
the College cadet corps of st. Francis
Xavier's, this city, he had charge of re-
cruits at Camp Black and Chickamauga.
In the latter camp he was stricken with
typhoid fever and was sent back to
Brooklyn unattended and in a seem
ingly dying state, under conditions of
the most shocking inhumanity. lie re-
covered at home and was mustered out
with the regiment.
lie then stood a competitive examina-
tion for Representative Clayton's ca
detship at Annapolis and came out as
the alternate. When the Forty-seventh
regiment was organized he got his COM
mission. In his company there are men
who have served in half dozen wars,
and they regard him as baby soldier.
On the way out to San Francisco he
was officer of the day and went through
the train confscating the TASKS that too
hosptable friends gave the men. One
old topper. who was caught in the act,

u 1T CHARITABLEs

Such a food of material as Ia emana-
ting from the religious headquarters In
opposition to Congressman Roberts, of
Utah. while composed and published in
the utmost good faith. does not appeal
SO much as one might wish To the ma
tionaI sense OF fairness and justice. The
denominational people seriously esteem
their efforts, as are all their efforts, TO
be for the best moral good Of the coun-
try. In antagonizing SIR. Roberts. they
conceive that t.zey are proceeding
against poiygamous practices and aid
ing in the final determination of a social
evil.
The trouble with the movement Is
that II overestimates the force which
It antagonizes. Mr. Roberts is not an en-
courager Of polygamy. His church has
dlsavowed II. The general constituency
Of Mormonism does not countenance 1t.
Church authorities have repeatedly in
sisted that this is the case. and it Is but
the part OF Christian charity to accept
the assurance and believe It. The Nor
mon people have deserved more than
the sectarian denominations have been
willing 10 accord them. In the face OF
Incompatible hardships and with most
marvellous pluck and diligence they
have converted Utah from desert into
productive garden. They could not
have done so had the underlying prtn-
cipies of their life been immoral.
Now that the laws Of the United
States have forbidden the practice OF
plural marriages TO which they had ad-
hered. they have again conformed them
selves to the conditions confronting
them. and have shown the cohesive
power of their religious faith by con-
tInuing as strong and effective or
ganization. They participate actively In
the affairs OF state. They furnish able
local officers. They formed the greater
part Of the constitutional, convention
which drafted an article forever prohib-
iting polygamy. They conduct business
upon business principles and become
wel-to-do. They build railroads and
promote all enterprises advantageous TO
the state, They encourage schools and
universities. They place no obstruction
I'm the way OF other religions or
churches. They are a law-abiding,
home making. happy people.
IL fron among their number one is

chosen Is honorsd by having occupied
the position CT bishop In the church, It
only gives further evidence that he ia
not by principle n polygamiss. because
the church consistently dlsavows polyg-
amy. As a. man. as an honorable man,
Mr., Roberts owes a solemn daty t.
