KIplIng's Now Poem.
Take up another burden,
Take on another load;
What matter if the night is dark
And bullock deep the road!
Go, armed with book and bullet,
Till Tagal throats salute
Your boasted bird Of freedom,
Half condor and half coot.
Take up another burden
God knows you had enough
With trusts and Doodle solons
To make your journey rough;
With woman's wrongs Enlightened,
With all your social pains,
The Red Man dead, yet dying,
The freedman still in chains.
Take up another burden,
And bend your youthful back
Till feet and hands and forehead
Meet level on the track.
Pile on the old world fardels,
And II, your spirit ldihtS,
Cheer up, were not the fathers
Half fakirs and half saints?
Take up another burden
To hide the ones you bear;
Flaunt vulture plumes from helmet
To veil the brow o. care.
Undo the work of Yorktown,
Prepare to STAY or kill
Whoe'er shall do at Luzon
AS We at Bunker Hill.
Take up another burden,
Forget the God of old;
The people call to Aaron
To make a calf of gold:
Exchange these Freedom jewels
For pc.mp of kings and queens;
Tear up the Declaration,
We wot not what it meaE3."
Take up another burden,
Send strapping youth away
From hearth and home to harems,
That afterborn may say:
"There one time was people
Who wrought in sweat and mirth
But quitting God for Mammon,
God wiped them from the EARTH

The constitution of the United States
declares that the vice president shall
be president of the senate, but shall
have no vote, unless there Is an equal
division of its numbers upon any meas
ure brought before it for decision. Such
a deciding vote Is comparatively rare.
The breaking of tie, as was recently
done by Vice President Hobart, shows
that the superstition that the Office is
unimportant, save In the contingency
where the incumbent is called upon to
succeed to the presidency, is entirely
superficial. 1t is quite within the pos
sibilities that an issue Of the gravest
moment may be determined against
the judgment of half the senate by the
vote Of person not member and
personally obnoxious, and yet the I'M
welcome defeat would come by a pro-
cess indisputably constitutional. 1t is
never wise to regard any provision of
the constitution as political trifle.

innings Milwaukee triumphed over St.

exciting a finish as has been seen on the
local diamond this season. Katoll had
three bad innings, when the Brewers hit
him hard, and Fisher was called to the

was successful, but the lead of one the
