WHAT THE POETS SAY.
Katherine.

Katherine.
The curls Of my Katherine are hiding my
face,
And her delicate dimples are running a
race
on cheeks like the rose
When in crimson it glows.
And catches the sunlight in silvery lace!
A shower of curls
And a glimmer of pearls
The lips and the love Of the sweetest Of
girls!
Oh, daytime is Maytme of rosiest grace
When the curls of my katharine are
kissing my face!
The dreams of all skies
In her radiant eyes
That twinkle like stars in the splendors
of space
Earth's Jewels and pearls
Cannot match the bright curls-
The lips and the love of the sweetest OF
girls
And night time is light time when in my
embrace
The curls of my Katherine are hiding my
face;
When / fold her away
From the froliCSome day
And the angels smile on her through cur
tainS of lace
And I'd barter the earth's pearls
For one CLEAN of the Curls
OF the dearest and sweetest of dear little
girls.

~ o a REPORTER for the
Washington Post who in
N terviewed him on Friday
last, Governor Stone of our
state said: Il am not an advocate of
trusts and am not interested in the
operations of a single one. My idea is,
however, that it is too early in the day
to be scared for we know scarcely
anything as yet of their effects. The
men who oppose them most bitterly
are generally theorists. OF course If
all they allege concerning trusts be
true, then they are a menace to the
welfare of the country and should be
legislated out of existence. The nat
ural law of supply and demand can
be depended on to regulate prices, and
for one ! do not think we stand in
much danger of having to pay eXorbi-
tant prices on account of industrial
combinations. The trusts can never
get so powerful as to shut off all COM
petition in this country, and if by vir-
tue Of such combines, large profits are
made in any one line Of business out
side, capital, which is ever keenly alive
to proft-making, will step in and at
once there will be competition, which
will insure the public from being un-
duly taxed. The cry against trusts
seems to proceed largely from those
states i'm which none exist, in the agri-
cultural sections of the United States.
In the east, where they have been
mostly formed, we hear of no great
amount of complaint emanating from
the people. and it is fair to presume
that they have as yet caused no seri-
Gus injury"
The attitude here indicated is not
essentially different from that outlined
by Governor Roosevelt in his speech
opening the Ohio campaign. Colonel
Roosevelt recognizes the need Of super
vision of trusts with a view to pro-
tCCting public interests; but he argues
that before this can be wisely applied
there must be accurate data upon
which 20 base it, and not mere passion
ate denunciation for the primary pur-
pose of catching votes. diagnosis,
he argues, should urecedc the applica-
tion of treatment; and common sense
teaches that the safest physician is not
the mouthy quaCk who holds forth with
patent Cure-alls on street corners hut
the trained specialist who has made
of his profession a lifelong study and
whose fitness to treat complicated
cases of disease has been demonstrated
by years of successful practice.
The Democratic party is the political
quack doctor of the country who prom
ises everything and performs nothing
Every time it has been entrusted with
the patient it has been convicted of
malpractice and it is about time for
the public to let it severely alone.

Marital Compliments,

They had been married fully threo
months, and were having their thirteenth
quarrel-thirteen being an unlucky num-
ber.

she retorted.
"Well, you didn't marry me because
you loved me-"

"In heavens name, then, what did you
marry me for?'

Answered His Own Letter.

A certain young railroad man who has
charge of q department in the auditing
branch of his Company'S business, had oC-
casion recently to dictate n letter to the
head Of corresponding department Of
another road There was n point in dis
pute between the two railroads involving
money and this young official had taken
a stubborn ground that the other official
was totally at fault and advanced what
seemed to him unanswerable arguments
to prove 1t. A short time after he had
forwarded the letter he received a propO-
sitiOn from headquarters of the other
railroad, relates the Chicago News, which
he accepted and within a few days he be-
came the head of the department with
which he had been in dispute. The first
letter which he found on file ready to be
answered was his own on the point in
question There was only one thing to
do. He Immediately dictated an answer
to his own letter refuting and repudiat-
ing its argument, and wound up by Il
heated insiruatiOn that the writer of it
was an urmitigated donkey. OF course,
the letter was addressed to himself and
signed by himself, but in his enthusiasm
for the interests Of his new employer he
did not mind little thing like that.

Vituperative Yet Charitable.

The late Robert G. Ingersoll had a blur
way about his bestowal OF favors
whether 1t was a loan to a friend or aims
to a beggar. In the spring of 1898 he
came to Washington on some business.
says the Post His duties took him to
the department of justice. AS ne came
down he passed an old woman sitting on
the doorsteps. She had a basket of vio-
let's, which partially proclaimed her as
an object of charity. The big-hearted ag-
nostic was in n hurry, but he stopped
long enough to reach in his pocket and
toss her half-dOllar.
"There, mother" he said, Ego and buy
yourself some beer"
mo, won't" said the old lady. "Jn
buy bread with that"
"Oh, you'll be so drunk in an hour that
you couldn't find a bakery" laughed Col
onel Ingersoll as he walked away IT
was simply his manner of robbing his
generosity of ostentation.

Forty years of service in the navy may
develop a good enough admiral, but l
am convinced that 1 have not studied
political questions and political
methods enough to make a satisfactory
president of the United States. The
nation has given me an office I am
competent to fill, and I am not looking
for another job. If l were out Jf
work might be tempted to look at
these things differently. but as it is I
can regard the whole question Impair
TALLY, and I believe the country should
select presidents who are trained and
experienced in the science of civil gov
ernment rather than to take a man
from the army or navy" The truth
of these sensible observations still
holds good.
