The Man with a Hoe.


EDWIN MARKHAM.
Bowed by the weight OF centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground
The emptiness Of age in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ex
Who loosened and let down this brutnl jaws
Whose was the hand that slanted back this
Whose breath blew out the light within this
brain
Is this the Thing the Lord God made and gave
10 have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars ana search the heavens for
power;
To feel the passion of Eternity
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the
suns
And pilarcd the blue armament with light
Down all the stretch OF Hell is its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure OF the worlds blind
greed
More hlied with sighs and portends for the
soul
More fraught with menace to the universe.
What CUFFS between him and the seraphim
Slave of the wheel OF labor, what to him
are Plato and the swing Pleiades
What the long reaches Of the peaks OF song.
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose
Through this dread shape the suffering ages
look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity, betrayed,
Plundered. profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Judges of the World,
A protest that is also prophecy.
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give 20 Cod
This monslrous thing distorted and soul
quenched
How will you ever straighten up this shape;
Give back the upward looking and the light:
Rebuild il in the music and the dream;
Touch it again with immortality;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfdious wrongs, immedicable woes
o masters lords and rulers In all lands
How will the future reckon with this Man
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds Of rebellion shake the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings
With those who shaped him to the thing he is
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God
After this silence of the centuries 90

CUSTER, Idaho, July z, 1899.
Another party of experts came
in from the outside Wednesday
and are up Jordan creek examin-
ing the Jesse James" mine.
John Danielson arrived Thurs
day from Blackfoot with his
family. He has moved on the hill.
Mr.. Shafer of Loon creek was
brought to Custer Thursday by
Pete Alberts for medical treat
ment. Mr.. Shafer is in very
critical condition.
William Williams moved to
Stanley Basin one day last week
with a supply of 'bug-juice" for
the thirsty Stanleyites.
Melvin Herricks has opened
up a tonsorial shop in Bonanza,
and is prepared to do all busi-
nes in first-class shape. He
guarantees that his razors are
not sharpened on the stove pipe,
and If customer will only stay
in the chair while he is shaving
them that all the hair will either
be cut off or pulled out by the
roots. No extra charge for the
latter.
The Miners Union have sell
ected Henry Worneck to act as
delegate to the Wallace conven-
ton.
The leasers on the McFadden
mine have shipped their ores to
Clayton to be smelted.

There was very little celebrat-
ing of the Fourth in Custer, and
the old-timers say it was one of
the dullest Fourths this town
ever saw. Even the fire-crack-
ers the boys were shooting on
the streets seemed to lack the
patriotism and would only make
little tizzle and sputter and go
out. There were no dog fights,
but in the afternoon there were
few pugilistic encounters be-
tween four or five men for the
championship of Custer; but most
of the fighting was caused by
Clusters Best" There are sew
eral black eyes to be seen yet and
one of the participants carries a
big jaw also. In the afternoon
there was a childrens' dance Civ
en- in the hall which was greatly
enjoyed by the little ones. In
the evening a grand ball was
given by the Miners Union.
There were about 40 couples
present, and they all agree it
was the best social event of the
season. Music was furnished by
Messrs. Dye, Tully aud Brown.
Supper was served at Burton s
and Wilkinson's. Custer does
not lack the patriotism but money
was too scarce and business too
dull to celebrate the day prop
erly. -ODYSsEY.
