POEMS WORTH READING.
A victim of Pre.Raphaelite Vocabulary.


publication by William Michael Ro.',m Of. list
Of "stunuus Words Poetry" collected for poetic
by his brother, Dante Gabriel Ros.stt.
And this is tho tale OF what bcfel
The Guerdonlcss Poet In the dcrny dell
As he jacent recined meath the bergamot tree
Perusng the words OF Rossetti, d. q.
BY his side lay hagon of vcrnage wine,
And the jashawk sang from Rracilo vine.
And the frog grass grew and the nadvort. too.
While the clouds above like a gonfalon few.
Foohappy was he in crapuous way.
For he dreamed Of the wonderful virelay
That he would compose from the golden store
OF words that Rossetti'd dug up before.
Curious words OF nexuous kind
Witch Dante Rossetti had left behind.
And thanks to the kindness Of brother Mike.
The poet could select as he might like.
He thought Of that intercalary day
When he would dispose of his virelay.
And the fastuous editor in delight
Would fill his gipsre with coin so bright.
OF his untrcssed brow in laureole.
And the knee tribute OF the jobbernowl,
When /" The Man with tho Hoe" long since forgot
His words would be sung to the angclot.
But 10! as the poet lay dreaming thus.
hOrrd. goebellish dracunculus
Crawled out from the wood where the moonvart
grows
Through the rank frog grass toward the poets toes
And just as the poet was about to hit
The flask again he caught sight OF It:
feshquakc shiyered his acxlo frame,
And gone were his visions OF wealth and fame.
The cold sweat oo2ed from his pallid face
A. he drew forth his trusty analace
And struck at the monster In mad despair,
But the grogram thing was no longer there.
Then he spranG to his feet with hendsh yell.
And fed away from the der1iy dell;
Soothfastness. think IL safe to say,
That that was the end OF his vrelay.

The Black Mans Burden.

Take up the black man burden,
We Grant sons of Ham,
And bear it as ye once did. with
The meekness OF the lamb.
A thousand years of slavery
To white mans greed and sin
Has left shadow on your souls
Much darker than your skin.
Take mp your heavy burden
With courage-not despair
And show the world your claim Is Just
The white mans boon to share.
Give up your fond illusions
OF EleasurAble ease;
Know work and self denial win
In stirring times like these.
The chicken coop. tho melon patch.
It's hard to pass 'em by.
But these ye must foreer forogo.
And eat more humble pie.
The cake walk. too. ye must DESERT
And the narrow path pursue.
II ye would find salvation
Oye of dusky hue.
Take up the black mans burden.
You'll learn It soon or late.
That all good things will come to those
Who hustle while they wait.

IF

If in 1896 Mr.. Bryan had been
elected and then had followed the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to /, and shortly
business and industry began to-
improve; then ii times became real
lively and all over the country
prices and wages climbed way up.
and our foreign trade grew to pro-
portions almost undreamed of-in,
short, if wondrously prosperous
times set in if all this happened
on the heels of the election of
Bryan and free coinage, would it
not be living testimony in favor
of 16 to 1? Would not all the
people say, Free coinage is a
mighty good thing and we are 60
ing to stick to it?" Well, Mr..
Bryan was not elected and free
coinage did not come; but Mr.. Nc
Kinley was elected and the repub--
lican policy of protection was in--
Now if the Bryanite
theory was right, the country ought
to have Immediately gone to rack
and ruin, but it didn't. Indeed,
the very things, which the Bryan
ties said could only follow free
coinage have, followed protection.
Then is not protection entitled to-
the credit? Should not the people
say, sit is a good thing and we are.
going to stick to it?" OF course
hey should, and we shrewdly
suspect that is just what they are
loing. .CaldwellT ribune.
