LAST YEARS NEST,

why, robin, do you shum
Your last years coy nest?
Why build again2 This one
Is ready for your breast;
Except ii be bit ,a
OF straw to soften it,
And here and there a patch; Il
Twill barely cost a scratch
To make it good as new;
And soon the tree will thatch
With leafy roof for you,
And hide ii quite from view.
Stay, robin, where last year
You dwelt in happiness;
No prowling monster here
Fer sought to dispossess
And drive you hence in fright;
Here slept you through the night,
Secure, and here were sung
Your songs. here grew your young;
Associations sweet
Are all these haunts among,
Like poppies in the wheat,
Let this be your retreat.
But no, another nest
Is in your busy mind.
Within your little breast
There is the hope to find
A spot more sweet than this,
A fuller cup of bliss.
And who can blame you, spritei
Who say you are not right
In seeking thus to change?
According to his light
Man far and wide doth range
And doeth things as strange.

been active in pushing their contract
and about twenty. five stonecatters and
masons have been employed, In most
all cases home men have been given
preference. Last week a negro stone
cutter named Brown. carrying card
| of the Winfield. Kansas, stone cutters
union, applied to Contractor Vanoen-
burg for work
He was given a job. The day fol-
lowing the white stone masons and
cutters protested ioNandenberg They
said they did not want to work with a
negro. Vanderberg parleyed with the
inen and finally put Brown TO work
laying stone. This did not satisfy the
white laborers, and Saturday they
served notice ON Vanden berg that un.
less the negro Brown was called off
they would quit work. Vandeu berg
consulted with the Masonic buildin &
| committee, and gave the white men tc
understand that he would not dis
charge Brown.
