A roaring, whirling tornado was tol.

whirling rails, ties and earth high in
the air. And If it overlook us 1t would
set us off the track in an instant, or
failing in that, would tear up the track

What "sinx Song of sixpence" Means
Sing song Of sixpence, pocket full Of
rye;
-Four and twenty blackbrds baked in
q pie s4
When the pie was opened, the birds be-
gan to sing;
Was not that dainty dish to set before
the king?
The king was in his counting house,
counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor, eating
bread and honey.
The maid was In the garden, hanging out
the clothes;
Down came backbird, and snapped
off her nose.
You all know this rhyme, but have
you ever heard what 1t really means
The four-and-twenty blackbirds repre-
sent the twenty-four hours. The bot
tom of the pie Is the world, while the
top crust Is the sky that overarches 1t.
The opening of the pie Is the day dawn,
when the birds begin to sing, and sure
ly such sight is tit for king.
The king, who is represented sitting
In his parlor, counting out his money,
is the sun, while the gold pieces that
slip through his fingers are the golden
sunbeams. The queen, who sits in the
parlor, Is the moon, and the honey is
the moonlight.
The Industrious maid, who is in the
garden at work before her king-the
surl--has risen, is the day dawn, and
the clothes she hangs out are the
clouds. The bird who ends the song
by nipping off her nose Is the sunset
SO we have the whole day, If not In q
nutshell, in a pie.

trusts from the standpoint Of business

as trusts are not political questions al

They have the best men Of the cOun-
