In the beginning God made man
Out Of the wandering dust, men say:
And in the end his life shall be
A wandering wind and blown away.
We are the vagabonds OF time,
Willing to let the world go by,
With JOY supreme. with heart sublime,
And valor in the kindling eye
We have forgotten where we slept,
And guess not where we sleep tonight:
Whether among the lonely hills
In the gale streaIner's ghostly light,
We shall lie down and hear the frost
Walk in the dead leaves restlessly,
Or somewhere on the iron coast
Learn the oblivion OF the
IT matters not. And yet dream
OF dreams fulfilled and rest somewhere
Before this restless heart is stilled
And all its fancies blown to air.

And something plucks my garments hem:
The robins in their faded brown
Would lure TO the south with them.

The Press and Bryan.

If Bryan and Organism are to have
any stronger and more cordial support
from the press of the country than
they had in 1896, that fact is not yet
manifest. The Democratic papers that
refused to endorse the heresies and
fallacies represented four years ago by
the Nebraskan are still arrayed against
them. and the Kansas City platform
has no more charms for them than
had the one framed at Chicago
The Independent press, even tha
most actively opposed to the
expansion policy, is not tricked
into supporting Bryan by his
attempt to make an imperialism" that
does not exist the paramount issue.

The great worlds convention of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor. whose opening sessions are
held in London, today, will be another
striking object lesson to England of
what American skill and enterprise
can do when applied to religious work.
No fewer than 10000 persons from all
over the world will take part in the
series of meetings that have hitherto
been held. each summer, in the great
cities of America This movement,
which is only 10 years old, had it's
origin in the modest Williston Congre-
gational church, now famed through
out Christendom. The pastor of the
church at that time. Rev. Francis r..
Clark. is still the head of the vast or
ganization that has grown from his lit
tie beginning. Like wildfire in prairie
grass the movement has spread
through the evangelical churches of the
world, for it filled long felt want.
and now there are no less than Sc, 154
societies in the organization, with a
membership of nearly 100000. No
doubt this first general convention III
foreign soil will add much to it's
strength and influence For Christ and

All the other papers of the great
metropolis are arrayed against him.
The strongest Democratic newspaper
of the city, the New York Times,
speaks in no uncertain tones as fol-
lows:
For what he is and believes and for
what he would do, Bryan deserves and
will encounter terrible defeat. For
his record and his achievements, for
the qualities of character that make
him an eminently safe President. for
the prosperity of the nation, for its
continued maintenance of the position
it has taken among the nations of the
earth during his administration. Mr.
Mckinley deserves and will receive a
vote of renewed confidence and a re-
election to the office he has well admin
istered. The Times will use its in
fiuence to bring about that result"
The ablest independent paper of New
York, and probably of the country, the
New York Post, will give unqualified
support to Mckinley, though it has
not always agreed with his policy In
concluding a long editorial on Organism
it declares:

already plain. The Democrats of the
old school who revolted in 1896 stand

Maine Gossip
The Old havracks.

Heaped with their loads of fragrant hay
And drawn by oxen slow.
The hayracks on their homeward way
Across the meadows go
Across the meadows, cool and broad,
BY fields of waiting grass,
Through bank and hedge of goldenrOd,
The toilinS hayracks pass.
These hundred years-lo! they have borne
A hundred summers yield;
And deep and wide their tracks are worn
Across the fallow field.
Along the road in dim array,
AS sunrise splendOrs glow,
At noon. and at the close of day.
The crcaking hayracks go.
How many seasons flame and fade
Across the meadows fair!
But toll is sweet in sun and shade,
And farmers poys still share
Their labor and its wholesome gains
Beneath the selfsame sky;
While, as of old. the mighty wains
Pass with their burden by.
