The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1899-08-26

Bill, the Indian scout. Cluster was
lonely without him" is his famous and
sufficient epitaph. The impious hands
OF curio vandals or possibly small boys
who are generally born vandals have
disfgured this bust 90 that the face IL
hardly recognizable. It was perhaps
not work OF art. but sometimes the
rude monuments Of a rude age are
worth preserving. Those whose hands
work with the gold hidden in all the
hills, and strangers from far away
through whose fingers it slips and slips
need reminders sometimes OF all that
the glittering stuff represents beyond
its face value.

the white rock and enjoy the we'll earned
chance to "view the landscape DER"
That is just what you can do up there.
For White Rocks lie not one of those
tantalizing and Elusive peaks which you
climb with plainsman's hope Of seeing
over and out, only to find your view shut
of by higher hills beyond. From White
Rocks you can look down and around on
bills and bills, on eeven or more towns
and mining camps tucked away in
gulches-you must pick them out with
good field glass-and out and away to
other hills-Rald mountain, always re-

berries--the chef d'veuvre Of the ills in
the boz ticultural line-abounds on this
precipitous mountain side, and they are
sweeter to your hungry eyes than gold
nuggets. I imagine Deadwood does not
know what treasures are hanging out

But the minority OF would-be crit

But the majority Of would-be critics
read the poem, and, without under
standing It's origin or knowing aught Of
the painting to which it alludes OF the
restricted type to which it is intended
Ia apply, they imagine that it refers to
all laborers and places all honest toll in
the category OF evils.
So they talk about "the dignity OF
labor" the he%althfulness of outdoor oc-
equations, the highly enviable lot
of the man who tills the soil and COM
munes with nature, and all that sort,
of platitudinous slop, which is entirety
beside the question. We all concede
the Incompatible advantages Of the
farmers or laborer's mode Of existence
for some one else; but that is not the
question raised by Markham's poem.
Again, these a~pologists Of injustice
realize that the poem is nm arraignment
of the present method of distributing
the benefits which Almighty God has
! placed at mans disposal, and they cry
anarchy" and revolution, dis
content" and agitation; as though
perfect contentment would not drag
humanity back into barbarism!
Ii they know anything Of the paint
ing, they call it a caricature and con-
denim it as false and exaggerated, dis
playing their boundless ignorance OF
the fact that, long before the poem was
written, the painting was world-famous
for its absolute fidelity to nature and
its wonderful human interest.
Look at even a cheap representation
of the painting, and then you will better
understand the verses:
Who made him dead 20 rapture and despair,
A thing that grieyes not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother 10 the OK
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw
Whose was the hand that slanted back this
brow
Whose breath blew out the Night within this
brain +?
1t is because Of the terrible, searching
J power of Markham's poem that il is so
fercely assailed.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1899-05-05

Through this dread shape humanity betrayed
Plundered, p%rofanel and dlsinherlted,
Cries protest to the Judges Of the World
A protest that Is also prophecy.
This protest and this prophecy must
be stifed at all costs. The masters,
lords and rulers in all lands dare not
meet and accept the responsibility for
"this monstrous thing, distorted and
soul-quenched." They dare not answer
the question: "Is this the h~andiwork
you give to God?" They cry, as did
Cain: cam | my brothers Keeper"
This is understandable in the man
who says, 'there is no Cod; that it is
all chance that we are only II superior
kind Of animal, and 1.-THE ittest must
survive But what Of, the man who
believes that there is Il Just
and merciful God, to whom
every soul is equally precious? What Of
the mar who calls ON the name of Il low
ing Christ in whose eyes worldly station
had no value and who drew his disciples
from among the fishermen; who
said to the thief upon the cross, To-day,
thou shalt be with me in Paradise"
who gave the commandment, "Do unto
others as ye would that they should do
unto you; who taught brotherly love
and said "Inasmuch as we did it not
unto the least OF these, We did it not
unto me-? What of that man2 How
can he escape his responsibility to his
Maker for his Indifference to the suffer
ing Of these others, Gods creatures, so
long MS he does less than his utmost for
their uplifting?
| repeat, 10 the man who neither be-
lieves in the existence of q God nor in
the divinity of humanity, Markham's
poem may not appeal but to him who
sees in 1.-THE man with the hoe" as
Millet painted and Markham saw him,
a. he exists ven here, a brother and
joint heir 10 Gods benefices, ''plund-
cred, profaned and disinherited ITO
such an one, Markham's poem must
come with Il terrible questioning.
And even the strict materialist, if he
care for humanity, for the progress Of the
race, Tor the onward march of c~iviliza-
ton, the stability Of government and
the preservation of the finer and gentler
phases OF the social system, even he
must pause, somewhat troubled by the
question:
How will the Future reckon with this man?
How answer his brute question In that hour
When whirlwinds or rebellion shake the world9
How will IL 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 the silence OF the centuries?

To clean oilcloth-Carefully sweep il
free from dust, then rub with a cloth
dipped in hot milk, and afterward rub
with a dry cloth. Beeswax and tur.
pentine are also good for polishing oil
cloth, and will prolong its wear This
is used in the way you would polish
an oak loor--that is, rubbed on with a
piece OF flannel, and polished with dry
busters. Another simple and useful
mode is to rub the oilcloth with u rag
