POEMS OF SENTIMENT.
In the opinion Of many OF his admirers,
David Barker was at his best in his poems
Of sentiment. One Of his longest and
most famous effusions, My Courtship, is
OF this class. This was a favorite with
his early readers, as they understood and
quickly appreciated the many personal al
iusions, the almost constant flow of bn-
NOR intermingled with pathos, and the
local color OF the verses.
Another poem OF this sort, although
much shorter, will serve as an illust rat ion
OF this phase OF his art. The title is ITO
Sue":
TO "sUE".
II girls like a girl am dreaming of, Sue,
For ages to man could be given,
think twas II wasting Of timber. don't you,
In building that fabric named heaven?
eat least to all creatures called human
That oft am tempted to lecture and show
Twill not pay TO Chase for a woman.
To-day young angel in wedlock is bound
A creature outpricing the diamond
To. morrow old Time with his scythe turks
around
And sunders the heart. strings of Hymen.
But OF with this moaning and groaning,
dear Sue,
And OF with this signing and crying
II fevers, half conquered, attack us anew,
Wen bargain and hazard this dying.
These few excerpts from the volume Of
several dozen poems will serve to show
to those readers who are unfamiliar with
his work something Of David Barker's tai
emit and will make plain why he has since
be first began to write continued to be a
iavorite with many readers. frequently
he attained poetic heights but it is a
rhymster, skillfal and uniformly correct
and versifier who wrote Of and for the
common folk that David Barker will be
ever a favorite and will ever gain new
friends.

ISOLATION. t@
1t would seem that the farmers of the
Northwest have paid tribute long
enough to- the combines, and have
learned that they must do their own
business the same as all other kinds
are doing theirs.
- Combinations are organized to con-
troll the output and enhance the price of
everything the farmer has to buy, while
he turns the result of his labor over to
an unprincipled set of gamblers to reap
all the profits.
Under present conditions the farmer
goes out with a bandage over his eyes
and sows his grain in the spring, takes
care of the crop, harvests the same and
hauls it fpirmarket, turning it over to
the othersfeliow that has got his plans
all made Aha the price established re-
CARELESS Of any benefits to the farmer.
1t is just as unreasonable to expect the
farmer to1gat his rights as it would be
for one man to hand his pocketbook
over to someone and say to him, use
the money just as you like best, shall
not hold you responsible for anything.
If you should happen to see a good
chance where you can make good
thing for yourself, shall not expect
you to consult my interests in the least
OF course, If you should happen to draw
too heavy on the purse, shall deem it

Now, When we organized the asso-
