Deeds and Dreams.

Young John Jones sat down and dreamed
VI the things he meant to do:
Ana the way his fancy schemed
Gave his thoughts a ROSY hue
am going to be great"
SAID young John Jones;
Master great affairs of state"
SAID young John Jones;
Nlngs and queens on me shall wait .
said young John Jones.
Young Bill Brown got down to work
In a corner grocery store;
And he hustled like Turk
I'LL his master paid him more.
don't know what may do
Said young Bill Brown;
But what l can I'm going to-
Said young Bill Brown;
And | guess I'll get my due
Said young Bill Brown.
Young John Jones still thought and
thought
OF his futures fiowery ways,
And his fruitful fancy caught
Notes of many nations praise.
So he dreamed and dreamed and
dreamed.
Did young John Jones;
And a brilliant boy he seemed.
Did young John Jones;
And a bright young man was deemed
Was young John Jones.
Young Bill Brown just pegged along,
Learning something every day,
Cheering comrades with song,
Drawing large and larger pay.
He was rather commonplace,
Was young Bill Brown;
But he had an earnest face,
Had young Bill Brown;
And he hit steady pace,
Did young Bill Brown.
Old Jack Jones somehow has failed
To achieve the shining height
Which his youthful dreams assailed
With such fanciful delight
Couldn't reach the top somehow,
Could old Jack Jones;
Fame has never famed his brow,
Not old Jack Jones:
And he's poor and friendless now.
Is old Jack Jones.
Mr. William Henry Brown
Runs wholesale store or two,
Owns Il quarter of the town.
And believes he's got his due.
In the prints we often read
OF W. Fl. Brown:
He's a noted man indeed.
Is w. II. Brown.
Doing things has been the creed
OF w. IL. Brown.

Lose Nearly Five Hundred Members
by Action Taken at Chicago.

CHICAGO, December 27.-By the
unanimous action Of local Assembly
No. 1860, Knights of Labor, the ranks
Of that organization were reduced near
ly 500 last night. AT meeting the
members of the Assembly, which is
composed of letter carriers, decided to
withdraw from the national organiza-
ton in accordance with a ruling made
by District Master Workman E. j.
Lindholm on December 10th, when he
suspended the local body because it
attempted to repudiate the action of
the National Assembly in Boston re-
Gently in adopting resolutions against
the administration of President McKin-
ley. Last night the resolutions were
repudiated and then the members vo-
ted unanimously to withdraw from the
national body.
Net only did they agree to withdraw,
but they also decided to surrender their
charter, thus dissolving the local organ
ization. The decision was reached by
ballot and not one voted against the
dissolution of the local assembly.
Charles d. Duffy who presided at the
meeting, is President of the Chicago
Association Of Letter Carriers and Vice
President of the National Association
of Letter Carriers.

HON. JOHN T. M'GRAW
IS FORCING THE FIGHTING
AGAINST HON. n. D. SCOTT.
Whose Attorneys Show a DISPOSE
tion to Dodge and DeIay-A Pos
sibie Contention in Favor OF
Scott and Clark.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December q.
Hon. John T. McGraw is taking an
active part in the prosecution o. his
effoI. to unseat Senator Scott. i long
consultation was held on Saturday last
with his attorneys, Welles, Bennett &
Welles, at which the whole matter was
gone over very thoroughly with view
to carrying the protest through to fin
ish. 1t was determined to prosecute a
vigorous fight against SCOTS title to a
seat In the Senate While there is ev-
cry prospect that the Senate commit
tee on Privileges and Elections will
grant Mr.. McGraw and his attorneys
hearing there is manifest purpose
on the part of Scott and his attorneys
to delay and if possible Illustrate ac-
ton on the part of the committee.
MeSsrs. Welles, Bennett & Welles have
filed motion with the subcommittee
having in charge the determination of
course CT procedure asking that the
other side be compelled to make ans
wer or to demur to the charges con-
tanned in the McGraw protest, and in
TINS manner join issue as in a court of
law. 1t is maintained by McGraw's at
torneys that only in this way can the
case be heard on its merits and in an
orderly way. Mr.. SCOTS attorney so
far has shown disposition not to
comply with the request of McGraw's
attorneys for a reply or demurrer, the
evident plan Of Mr.. Faulkner being, as
it has been from the first, to sidetrack
the whole proceeding. 1t is improbable
that this plan will succeed, though as
matters now stand no hearing can be
obtained until the Clark case has been
disposed of, this case being set for
January 5. Mr.. Faulkner is attorney
for Senator Clark also, thus appearing
for both a Republican and Democrat
ic Senator, whose seats are inquestion.
This fact evidences a scheme whereby
both Senator's may be seated, the DEM
ocrat being deemed fair equivalent
for the Republican. The McGraw peo-
pie regard this possible combination as
one of the most serious obstacles they
have to contend with.

New Years Gift For Baby.

of the same material.
The sleeves are tight fitting and fin
ished at the wrist in scolloped designs,
with rufIles Of the lace emerging from
each scollop. At the shoulder there is
an application of satin and lace and an
epaulette trimming of satin edged with
ribbon.
The collar is very high and would be
stiff in effect were it not for a shirring
of lace which trims it. A belt of satin
ribbon stitched with chenille braid con-
fines the waist.

BURoo BENEFIT TONIGHT.
A Splendid Athletic Entertainment Prom
ised at |. C. 3. Hall.

An athletic entertainment for the bene-
fit of Walter Burgo, the well-known box
er, will take place in I. C. B. Hall, this
evening, and will be well attended by the
sporting fraternity of this city. An ex-
cellent entertainment has been arranged,
the variety being greater than at any
similar evenings enjoyment.
One of the features of the entertain
ment will be an exhibition of bag-punch-
ing by John Dorey of Fall Ricer, cham
pion of the state, and Joe Robinson of
Boston, instructor of sparring. Bag
punching with clever men is a popular
amusement with athletically-inclined
crowds at all times. There will be two
wrestling bouts one between Jim Teller
and Joe Gravel and the other between
Sammy Wright and John Thomas, The
latter will be a mixed contest. The first
bout will be catch-as-catch-can, the sec
ond Graeco-R Roman and the third, If one
is necessary, will be decided by the toss
of a coin, the winner of the toss having
his choice of style There is considerable
feeling between the men, and the match
won't be an exhibition by any means. 1t
will be for blood
Boles, John Dinsdale, John killehan and
others will assist in carrying out an in
terestinS program.
For variety there will be singing and
dancing a heavyweght-lifting contest
and other forms of entertainment. The
heavyw t-lifting contest viii doubt
less be interesting. There will be man
at the hall to challenge the winner
There are several strong men in Wor-
cester, as has been shown by their work
at previous entertainments during the
winter. Burgo thinks he will have a
chance to show his PAGES. His arm is
with the gloves if he. doesn't work too
hard.
