Take up the White Slaves Burden.

AFTER RUDrARD KIPI.lNG.
Take up tho White Slaves burden
Let justice bo thy creed!
Go, meet him on tho highway
And succor him in need.
Go, find him in the fac'try,
The mino shaft and tho field;
Toiling slaves of moncycd greed
Lot wealth her portion yield.
Take up tho White Slaves burden
The idle hordcrs that fret
And chant in iitful measure
For help that comes nor yet,
Side by side with luxury
Of gorgeous pagcantry
The blanchcd face Of pcnury
On every hand yc see.
Take up tho White Slaves burden
Go seek tho alley ways;
Go seek tho paupcrs pallet
On which he ends his days,
And say can such continue ?
Can man thus Satan be?
Where plcntous riches doth abound
Why fingers poverty?
Take up the White Slaves burden
Go, see the grimy hordcs
OF dcnScly crowded cities
,Iostling corporate lords.
The almshousc and the palace
And Mammon's temple high,
The gulf twixt Dives and I.az'rus
Yc see with callous eye!
Take up tho White Slaves burden
His liberty has blcd!
Must Sheriff Martins murder?
Speak, victims of Homestead!
Magma Charta-isn't in shrcds
by Pinkcrton shots torn?
The Fathers Declaration
Will wealth it's virtues scorn?
Take mp the White Slaves burden
Yc yet may feel his sting;
His woful wall 'gainst thraldom
Through hills and valleys ring.
Tyant days of pomp and greed
Are come to chain mems hands,
The fcudalricS Of MammOn
Increase tile paupcr bands.
Take up the White Slaves burden
Thy victem's cry is loud,
Go search your scrdid conscience;
ccan't escape the shroud;
ie, too, must meet the Reaper
Ie, too, must feel his breath
The poor man and the rich man
He'll clasp alike in death,

to kill soldier birds. The fellow who
looked for needle in haystack had
an easy time beside Smedley. Soon
there was noticeable falling off in
the number of soldier bids. He would
saoot one, run to it eagerly, feel gen ~

body aside with snort OF disgust.
Early yesterday morning Smedley
started for his regular days hunt
He thought he would try the marshes
down near the old waterworks. n was
barely daylight when he reached there.
The blackbirds and the field larks were
just beginning to wake UP and tell each
other all about It.
Smedley saw a little speck of red N
the grass. He went toward it. Soma
thing black and red sprang up sud
denly, and Smedley saw soldier bird
going straight away from him. This
bird seemed top-heavy and flew little
low. A thought flashed through the
mans mind that made his hands
tremble. For the first time in weeks
he missed. The bird turned to The

stiffened into steel At the shot the

right in. He. seized the soldier bird

joyfully back to shore.

When the full river of feeling over

The happy days unclouded to their
close;
The sudden joys that out of darkness

As flames from ashes; swift desires
that dart
Like swallows singing down each wind
that blows.

BROUGHT BACK HER RING
A Strange Quest on the Result of
Which His Happiness Depended.

1t was only a little brass ring with a
crystal setting, but when a bird flew
away with it that meant the loss of his
happiness to Jim Smedley. and its
recovery was as the beginning of new
lie. Alice Lane, too, 1t just as glad.
and she Uoesn't try to hide her joy
Only the bird that carried off the ring
might be sorry, but he is dead and his
last chirps on the subject are not re-
corded. Alice Lane says that when
she Is Mrs. Smedley she will wear the
bird on her hat for a constant reminder
of how near pride came making -ier
miss happiness.
Jim Smed.ey is a farmer who lives
on the river road a mile or so above
the old waterworks. Smedley is young
in years and fortune and rich only in
his love for Alice Lane She is the
daughter of another farmer, both old
and rich as farmers go. Smedley
seemed in love with the whole family.
About the first of last May he won the
girl The elder Lane was willing.
Less than two weeks after they had
become engaged Mrs Lanes sister,
who lives at Brownsboro, fell i'll and
sent down fer her niece to nurse her.
The night before she left the lovers

given her a diamond ring, and in re-
turn she drew from her finger an old
brass one with a crystal setting, and
slipped it on his.
"It's my lucky ring" she said. Gas

OF ne. II you lose it won't marry
you until you bring it back to NE
again.
ut will be my lucky ring, too" he
told her.
The next morning Miss Lane went t5
Brownsboro.
Two days after that jim Smedley sat
playing with a gray blackbird that he
had caught. II was a soldier bird with
the red markings on its wings just be-
ginning to show. Smedley took the
crystal ring from his finger and slipped
IL over the birds head to see how the
gold color and glass would contrast
with the red-marked wings. Then as
he handled it carelessly the little bird
hoped from ais hands and few into a
bush 10 feet away. Smedley arose
lazily and went to get him. The bird

away down. The soldier bird hoped
out Of reach an then took a wayering,
webbing flight to another tree.
Wild with anxiety, Smedley followed.
Again he was unsuccessful. Then the
man ran quickly to the house for his
gun. When he returned the soldier
