A SERIOUS freight collision occurred last
week on the Grand Trunk railroad at North
Stratford. A freight train, heavily loaded
with beef, was running down heavy
grade from the north and crashed into a
second freight train standing at the STRAIT:
ford station. The locomotive OF the beef

TIE elders of the reorganized Church OF
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at a
meeting held last week at Independence,
Mo-, went on record as unqualifedly OPP
posed to allowing Congressman-elect B. II
Roberts of Utah to take seat in the ma
tional House of Representatives. The reso-
luton adopted reads: ut being matter OF
public knowledge that he is polygamist in
practice and contrary to the laws of the
land, he should not be permitted to repre-
sent his State in the legislative halls of this
country" The organization at Independ-
ence is the strongest Mormon church out
side Utah. Its members, known as 90
sephites," persistently opposed polygamy.
THE extradition treaty with Mexico
lapsed last Thursday. 1t was on January
5, 1898, that the late Minister Romero gave
the requisite years notice. This action was
precipi ated by the procedure of the United
States government in the matter of the
Cara filibustering expeditions. The Next
can government held that those con.
cerned in these expeditions were guilty OF
highway robbery and of other extraditable
offenses. At first the American govern
ment conceded the point and delivered over
some of the accused, but refused to hand
over the rest on the ground that they were
political offenders, whose surrender would
leave the door open for Great Britain to de.
mand the surrender OF Irish agitators,
Russia to ask the extradition OF nhilists
and so on. The point was closely contested
in diplomatic correspondence, but the Amer
lean government would not recede from its
position. This precipitated the abrogation
of the old treaty.

SELECTED POETRY,
Little Maj orIe.

"Where is little MarjorieP'
There's the robin In the tree,
With its gallant call once more
From the boughs above the doori
There's the bluebrd's note, and there
Are spring voices everywhere
"Where is little Marjorie2"
And her old playmate, the rain,
Calling at the window pane
In soft syllables that win
Not her answer from within
where little Marjorie2"
Or is II the rain. all mel
Or wild gusts Of tears that were
Calling us-not calling heri
"Where is little Marjorle9"
Oh, in high security
She 10 hidden from the reach
OF all voices that beseech;
She is where no troubled word,
Sob or sigh is ever heard,
Since God whispered tenderly-
where is little Msrjorie2"

His Engagement.

In pensive mood she sat and gazed
AS II at something far in space,
And two big tears that trembled on
Her lashes trickled down her face
Yah, dearest, what has made you sad2"
The man who loved her cried, "sweet one,
charge you tell me truly IL
You weep DER aught that have done?"
NAY, you are not to blame" she sobbed-
Despite her tears she still was fair
~ weep to-day because, alasl
I've Just pulled out my first gray hair"
"Sweet one, If thatis ALL" he said,
Be comforted and weep no more;
Your loss Is small, for others soon
Will shine where that one shone before"

My Properties.

own no park. keep no horse,
can't afford a stable,
have no cellar stored with wine,
set frugal table;
But still some property is mine,
Enough to suit my notions
1 own mountain toward the west,
And toward the east an ocean.
just this one mountain and one sea
Are property enough for me.
A man Of moderate circumstance,
A frugal man like me,
with one good mountain has enough,
Enough with one good sea.
My mountain stretches high enough,
Up where the clouds are curled;
My ocean puts its arm around
The bottom of the world.
do not fear my sea will dry;
My hill will last as long as I.
l cannot gllbly talk with men,
No gift of tongues have 1;
My sea and noun tain talk to me,
Expecting no reply,
They tell me tales that may not tell,
But tales of cosm mic worth,
OF conclaves of the early gods
Who ruled the infant earth;
Tales of an unrembered prime
Told by Eternity to Time.
And so Pm glad the mountains mine,
I'm glad own the sea,
That they have special privacies
Which they impart to me.
1t took eternity to learn
The tales they know so well
And am glad these tales will take
Eternity to tell.
do not fear my sea will dry;
My hill will last as long as 1.

FORGET sLAKDER.

II you would increase your hap
ploess aud proloug your life forget
your neighbors faults. Forget the
SANDER yon have heard. Forget
the temptations. Forget the
fault6uding and give a little more
thought TO the cause that provoked
it, Forget the peculiarities of
men and only remember the good
points, that make you feel proud Of
them. Forget all personal quar-
rels of histories that you may hear
by accident, and which if repeated,
would seem d thousand times worse
than they are. Blot out if possible
all the disagreeable things of life.
They will come but only grow larger
when you remember them aud the
constant thought of acts of mean-
ness, worse still, malice, will only
tend to make you more charitable.
Obliterate everything from yester-
day and write upon it-for sweet
memory's sake-only those things
that are lovely aud lovable.-Ex.

Rest While Working.

An important lesson for the busy
housewife TO learn is that she can
take rest amid her daily labor, and
she must do this if she would pre-
serve her health and strength as
well as the ability to enjoy life
The manner iu which she learns and
applies it will make all the differ
ence in the world to her aud those
about her. If she neglects it alto
gether, she will grow old and hag-
gard long before her time, find her
own life devoid of pleasure and full
Of drudgery and prove herselta kill
Joy to all those about her. Work
never killed or hurt an, body, If il
was accompanied by proper amount
Of recreation and relaxation. Let
no woman, however strong she may
be, imagine that she can go on
working incessantly without grow
ing prematurelY old. 1t is the
cheerful hearted, wellpoised women
who accomplish the most work in
the world, because they are sensible
enough to stop between times; and
they are the ones who keep their
youth and freshness longer.

Every high official and great light
formely in the republican
party we're blmettalists and favored
the free coinage of silver by the Uni
ted States-after 1873, when British
gold has purchased its demonetiza-
ton; without the knowledge OF
those who voted for it, every states
man in republican party favored its
remonetization, and every national
republican platform done likewise
unit, the bosses of the party sold it
out, bag, baggage, bowels, brains
and boodlers to the money changers
at St. Louis, in 1896, and put Mar
Gus s Hanna in possession as master,
These are facts, and are substaut-
at d by the records. Why, at the
national convention of g. o, p. in
1888, when Mr. William Mckinley
wis chairman of the committee on
platform, he wrote in that docu
ment these words; "The republican
party is in favor of the use of both
gold and silver as money, and con
demns the policy of the democratic
ADMINISTRATION in its efforts to de-
monetjze silver" What a change
seems to have come over William
since that time-but that was be
fore Mark became his master. At
that time also, every metropolitan
paper of any prominence was in
favor of the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 to /.
