With the sky above my head,
And the grass beneath MY feet;
For only one short hour,
TO feel as l used to feel,
Before knew the woes Of want,
And the walk that costs a meal!
ooh but for one short hour!
a respite however brief!
No blessed leisure for love or hope.
But only time for grief!
n little weeping would ease my heart,
But In their tiny bed
My tears must stop, for every drop
flinders needle and thread!
"Wlth fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, In unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread.
stitch! Stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger and dirt;
And still with voice Of dolorous pitch,
Would that its tone could reach the
rich!
She sang this Song of the Shirt"

million dollars annually, Is held up to
question by the Smyrna Call OF this town.
The Call brands the pro,pec'u' as false
The call says;
"For some time the question has been
asked, Where was the money coming from

Milford to Smyrna and frequently the
answer has been, oh, LELAND. Belmont
and that crowd are millionaires and will
pay cash for everything There seems co
be little funny business In this ..matter,
II the prospectus Of the Delaware General

by tho Milford Democrat, Is true. Among
other statements made, which our citizens
know to be false, Is that six couts is paid
for transporting grain. Commencing at
Milford some highly colored reports were
made OF towns through which the trolley
line must pass"
The company will float its bonds and
build the road OH borrowed capital. "The
reports of the various towns" says tho
Call" are made to induce the speculators
to invest their thousands In the enterprise.
They offer ono million OF the company's
bonds ut sixty cents on the dollar"
