The following poem entitled Labor"
from Poetry OF the Pacific" is from the
pen Of Frank Soule. one of the early CAL
ifornia editors and ia Their of Prof Frank
Soule OF the State University.
Despise not labor! God did not despise
The handicraft which wrought this
gorgeous globe.
That crowned its glories with Won lew
eled skies
And clad the earth in natures queenly
robe:
He dug the hrst canal-Ithe rivers bed
Bullt the first fountain in the gushing
spring
Woye the first carpet for mans state
ly tread.
He made the pictures painters initiate;
Inc statusry's first grand model made;
Taught human intellect to recreate.
And human ingenuity to trade.
Ihere is no deed. of honest labor born,
That is not Godlike! let the thoughtless
scorn.
God labored first. toll likens us to Him.
aie made the flowers your learned for
lists scan,
And crystalized the atoms of each
gem;
Snuooiou lapor IN great nature 8 plan
And made it virtues brightest diadem.
It's not profession that ennobles man;
It's not the calling that need Ger de-
grade
The trowel is as worthy as the pen;
The pen more mighty than the hero's
blade
The man. what e'er his work, wherever
done.
IL intellect and honor guide his hand,
Is peer to him who greatest state has
won.
And rich as any Rotchchild of the
land
Work for some good. be it ever so slowly;
Cherish some flower, be 1t ever so lowly
LABOR. all labor Is NOBLE and hoiy.
Let thy great deed be thy prayer TO
thy God.

Richard Croker Bets 100000 Against
$4,000 on Him.

SOo,oOo on HIM.
New York, August 31.-Rchard Croker
took the Bryan end of the heaviest cleo
ton bet that has been recorded so far in
this campaign, when he wagered 100000
today against $50, 900 with Louis w. Worm
ser that the democratic National ticket
would be elected
AS Mr.. Croker is not in the habit OF
making wagers unless he thinks there is
good chance OF winning them, the news
of his plunge on Bryan caused sensa-
ton among the few who were in the Sc
cret, 1t is known that Mr.. Croker has
predicted plurality of $4,000 for Bryan
in Greater New York, but it was supposed
that he had given this figure merely for
campaign effect That he was willing 90
back his confidence in Bryan's strength
with cash was surprise to many parsons
who have regarded McKinleys election as
practically foregone conclusion
Mr.. Wormser had already wagered a
large sum upon McKinley's success at the
same odds Of 1-2 TO / that governed the
wager made today. On August % he
placed $780, 900 against $4,000. or this Sl0,-

advanced the other $4,000 of the bryan
bet was withheld. The amount of Mr..
Wormser's wagers is estimated at 5000, 600,
Mr.. Wormser has been Offering to take
more wagers of the same character aud
the odds proved too tempting for the Tam
many chief. Mr.. Cookers name does not
appear, however, in the transaction the
matter having been arranged through Bell
a. Co. a firm OF brokers,
Mr.. Croker made several large wagers
in the Roosevelt campaign. and the defeat
Of Van Wyck for governor cost him. it
was said, not less than $4,000 Should
Bryan win, Mr. Croker will have recouped
his loss Of 1898 at single stroke.

when A. r. Jefferson was chosen tenn
Dorary chairman and c. w Gates tenn
porary secretary: committees on crcden-
tiais and permanent organization, dele
gates and resolutions we're appointed.
The committee on credentials recom-
mended the seating OF the Palmer dele-
cation from Fayetteville and the Lee
delegation from Schulenberg: this
caused the other delegation from Fay
etteville 10 walk out and refuse TO
further participate In the convention.
A compromise was evidently reached to-
wards the end OF the meeting at least
temporarily. as everything moved along
smoothly compared with the stormy
times in the early part OF the session.

next two years while the Green faction
