'oAucu Nv rcSt are Vuo uohr IIttit u6Uusi
And you miss their soft pressure tonight;
Folded for aye are the silxen fringed lids
Ger the eyes, with their glorious light;
Folded and still are the tiny white feet
That so plxyfully tripped BY your side;.
Folded and mute are the sweet smiling lips
OF your sunny faced darling that died.
BISHOP THOMPSON ON TRUSTS.

Following Rev. DR.. Palmer In the
Tulane Hall antitrust meeting, Bish-
Op Hugh Miller Thompson, OF Miss.

had to be one and didn't. This is the
last year Of the nineteenth century,
make no blunder about that-that Is
right. We have few days to get OuI
books straight and make our balances
before going into the twentieth cen
tury. Don't be deceived by words. The
greatest failures among nations have
been republics. Don't be cheated BY

"In ancient Greece, when man got
two rich and was q danger to the
country, they just voted him out.
Sometimes l think we ought to have
such law. When corporation or

should take plain, square vote and
say that John Smith Is danger, and
vote him Out-Or q trust buys up q
