What makes her swipe for cobwebs
with the broom
Up on the wall and hang the bed
clothes out
The upstairs window in the ambient
What makes her souse the curtains in
a tub
And scatter gasoline about the house
Until it smells like seven kinds of
paint?
Oh masters, lords and rulers in all
lands,
How will the future reckon with this
dame
W hen she sails through the streets of
paradise,
Armed with a busting bonnet and a
broom,
Kicks up a dust to make the angels
sneeZe,
Cleans the gold harps with whiting and
a brush,
And digs for cobwebs into all the
hooks,
Hangs all the white robes on the line
to air
soaks all of Paradise with vile ben
zine,
And does the self same thing each
blessed spring,
Through all the endlessness of cen
turtles?

A feathered arrow to his bow,
The archer Hatred fitted taut,
Drew tight the bowstring, kneeline

And forth a venomed message shot.
So full his culver he forgot
Ere died the twang of his bowstring,
The poisoned shaft that forth he shot,
The yenomed message set awning.
Until, as through the wood he sped
Another day, he found it where
A heart, fell stricken, lying dead.
The shaft had pierced and %quivered

EXA MINATI0N.
Preliminary Examination in. the Stark
Murder Case Being Held this
Afternoon.
James Jenkins Testiies to the Facts
as Stated in His Previous Con-
fession.
PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.
(Cr0m Snturdn VIC DnilvA

(From Saturdays Daily.)
The preliminary examination of
James and Ira Jenkins charged by the
coroner's jury wi,A the murder of
August Stark at the Casino coal mine,
is progressing before Justice Tibbals
this afternoon. The hearing was be-
gun at = o'clock and the principal wit
ness at the hearing up to ) o'clock
was James Jenkins, father of Ira Jen-
kins, charged with being the perpe-
traitor of the deed. The confession
secured by States Attorney Allen from
the father as to the manner of the
crime, was the principal evidence in
the case, although this time, instead of
being made to the states attorney
alone, it was made on the witness
stand before the justice. The manner
Of the murder as detailed by the father
is as given in the Tribune a few days
ago, when the confession was an
nounced. Briefly it was to the effect
that the murder had been committed
in the evening after Ira jenkins and
Stark had returned from Wilton. That
the dispute in which the murder oc-
Cured or that was the reason for it
was over a claim owned by Stark that
was wanted by Ira Jenkins. The
murder, according to the fathers tes-
timony. happened while he was absent
from the house, and he was told of it
by his son while he was returning. A
number of details were given of the
agreement on the following day to tell
the story that was told before the
coroner. When the body was dragged
into the mine the father did not know.
Some exhibits in the case. which
will be used in confederation of the
story, were brought down by Coroner
White. Among them is the carpet
from which a piece was cut, it having
been splashed with blood, and a door
that bears evidence of the crime.
Ira jenkins was in, court and faced
his father, while the latter gave tes-
timony that was to fasten the crime
of murder on his son.

GREATNESS.

The great man is the one who takes
Chance at the food and rises high,
And then before ne makes mistakes
Is wise enough to die.
The man who isn't wise enough
To die when flame is at it's flood,
Must not complain if someone knocks
His halo in the mud.
Fame, like the bowler sets his pins
Sets up ner rows of foolish men,
Because, like him, she Graves the
chance
To knock them down again.

ECHOES.

Up from the meadows blowing
The scent Of the clover sweet
And the murmur of cattle lowing.
Up from the woodlands flowing
Like tinkle OF fairy feet
The rustic of light leaves blowing.
Out from the hedges springing
Blossom and bud and flower
And the note Of the song bird singing.
Ivy and woodbine clinging
Closer to the church tower
And the chime of the church bell ring
ing.
Green the glad earth and quafing,
Thirsty, the nectared Spring,
And the waking waves all laughing.
Up from the meadows blowing
The scent Of the clover sweet
And the murmur Of cattle lowing.
Up from the woodlands veering
The echo Of Winters feet
Dimly, and disappearing.
THE WOMAN WITH THE BROOM.
Bowed with the cares of housecleaning
she stands,
Leans on her broom and gazes at the
floor,
A busting cap wrapped closely round
her head,
Upon her face the dust of the whole
world.
What has begrimed her cheek and
soiled her hands?
What plastered back her hair and
set her jaw?
In this stern mould? Oh woe I'M
s%peakable,
Oh dust profuse, confusion absolute!
Dire disarrangement of the entire
works
1mmedicable scattering of things,
Rugs, curtains, carpets, pictures,
books and chairs,
Oil paintings, bric-a-brac and lamps
and clothes,
In n cOnglomerate, heterogeneous
And dismal pile, the while she plies
the broom,
And scours the floor and dusts the
window frames,
And sets her frightened husband in the
yard
To beat the parlor carpet into clean
And dustless spotlessness. What aw-
full power
Impelled this dame to tear the whole
house up
To topsy turviness and ruined wreck,
To find a speck of dust in some far
nook
u%nseeable, unthinkable and small?
What makes her souse and douse the
house with soap,
And scrub and rub the woodwork till
it shines
Like FURNISHED metal in the suns red

chattle mortgage future crops until the
debt is paid and no renewal is neces-
sary for at least three years. This is
only for the purchase of real estate.
The crop payment plan has helped
many poor men become the owners of
land they otherwise could not have Sc

a great many such a lift that their

NOT DEAD.


The vase is broken,
The flower is dead
It's petals crumbled,
It's ashes spread.
Sweeps it's ruins
The wandering gust,
The leaf to ashes
The stalk tc dust.
Claims it's ashes
The waiting sod,
But something fingers
That came from God
The soul of the flower
That lives for aye,
The scented memory
That cannot die.
The vase is broken
The life is dead,
The cold clay crumbles
In ashes spread.
The castle totters,
With earth is blent
The off cast mantle
And tenement.
Claims it's ashes
The waiting sod,
But something fingers
That came from God.
Tho something voiceless,
Shapeless, vast,
The sweeter perfume
That lives at last.
In dust the flower
The life is fled,
But something fingers
And is not dead.

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

George Dewey, we
Would caution thee
To heed the fate of Adam.
You know the Lord
With good things stored
The earth, and Adam had 'em.
The Lord, said he:
This is for thee
But I tell thee mishap III
Soon ON to thee
Lest you heed me
And never eat an apple"
You know that Eve
AS we believe,
Led my Satan's eXhorter,
Did tempt him sore
TO eat the core,
The while she ate a quarter.
Twas 'gainst the laws
But Adam was
A gentleman-God rest him,
He thought 'twould quite
Be impolite
To say no when she pressed him.
And so-dire fate!
Weak Adam ate,
The apple-pray excuse him,
Although he knew
That SO to do
His Eden soon would lose him.
Now George you know
The pain and woe
For ages we've been ruling,
The fearful fall
OF man was all
4 tempting woman's doing
The moral here
Is plainly clear
And surely you may read in
Poor Adams fate,
Ere it's too late
A chance to save your Eden.

In the spring the red robed robin
Glads the ear with his sweet tone,
In the spring the humpbacked scorcher
Gets a hump in his backbone.
In the spring we hear a chorus
Of sweet music gay and glad,
Mingling with the fearful noises
Of the golfers awful plaid.
In the spring the locust sitting
On the fence post, sleek and fat,
Sees the farmer seed his cornfield,
He won't do a thing to that!
In the spring the weary hobo
Hits the road and counts the ties,
And the open jug of syrup
Is pre-empted by the flies.
In the spring the housewives labors,
At housekeeping time begin,
In the spring we see our neighbors
Moving out and moving in,
In the spring we get cold lunches
At the MONDAY for our share,
While the housewives dust the parlor
With wet towels on their hair.
In the spring we see the dudelet
With the red flowers on his vest,
And the buckwheat cakes are folded
Up and laid away to rest,
But the very greatest blessing
That we may count as our share
Is that we can leave off dressing
In\this scratchy underwear.

SOME PRAIRIE E
IN TIE SPRING.

In the spring the microbe wakens,
TO the fullness of his power.
Wanders up and down the system
Seeking what he may devour.
In the spring the lays Of songsters
Sound, the greening earth to fill,
And the tired man takes tonic
And imagines he is ill.
In the spring the flowers quicken
In the spring the daisies creep
In the spring the odors thicken
From the alleys where they sleep,
In the spring the poets genius
To a. hotter flame is fired,
In the spring, we get the fever

from 1919, was rlthlessly torn down, and

The Halle Centrales. situated at the Rue

largest of the Paris markets. The con-

cost over twelve million francs, and took
some years to complete. The hailes are
lighted by electricity. and underneath are
lofty cellars, where the provisions are
stored pending sale. There are large salt
and fresh water tanks for FISH and excel

geese and chickens devoured by Paris
daily are plucked and got ready for the
market above, and here the ecosseuses de

Many thousands OF people are employed
IN these cellars and virtually pass their
entire waking existence there.

their way to the various halles and
