Through the worlds wide house
To quicken the torpid earth:
Graphing I fling
Each feeble thing.
But bring strong life to the birth.

And topple down:

Yet the violet
Is torn where I set
The sole Of my flying foot.
And in my wake
Frail wind flowers quake.
And tho catkins promise fruit.
i drive ocean ashore
With rush and roar.
And he cannot say me nay;
My harp-strings all
Are the forests tall,
Making music when I play.
And a. others perforce,
Sol on my urse
Run and needs must run.
With sap on the mount,
And buds past count
And rivers and clouds and sur.
With saesons and breath
And time and death
And all that has yet begun.

The Gladiator.

Arms stretched out like q Roman god,
Legs Of steel all bare
Ny sweetheart sleeps through the long,

With the lion and the bear.
Elephants chained to his bedpost.
Reindeer strapped TO his chair:
And all the animals of the ark
Are browsing everywhere.

The moonlight climbs DER Storm Kings

And glints its golden hair.

Nowhere to fall but of.
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair.
Nowhere TO sleep but In bed.
NOTHING to weep but tears.
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but songs,
All. well. alas! alack!
Nowhere to get but out.
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights.
Nothing to quench but thirst,
Nothing to have but what we've got;
Thus thro' life We are cursed.
Nothing to strike but q gait:
Everything moves that goes.
Nothing at all but common sense
Car ever Withstand these woes.

RELATIoNsHIPs ARE MIXED.
Queer Family Complications of the
 the Duke and Duches s of York.

The union in marriage of blood rela- tions in the British royal family has produced some extraordinary compli- cations. Little Prince Eddie, the son of the royal pair. enjoys the peculiar cls- tinction from his birth of being third cousin to the Duke of Cornwall end York. his father, and second cousin twice removed to the duchess, his mother And thus 1t comes about. The Duke of Kent and the Duke of Cambridge were sons of George III, and their respective children. the late Queen Victoria and the Duchess of Teck. were consequently first cousins. Therefore his majesty and the duchess of Cornwall lnd York are second cous- ins. so the Duke of Cornwall and York and Prince Edward are not only father and son. but third cousins. But the Duchess of Cornwall and York Is sec- ond cousin once removed to the duke, and second cousin twice removed to his son. of whom she is the happy mother. These be right royal relationships. and as puZzling as the discovery made by an astonished husband that his wife, in the eye of the law. was no relation of his at all.

Crude Oil Goes up.

Montpelier. Ind, July 20-Crude oil today made the greatest jump in one day that 1t has accomplished since 1895. Indiana leaped from 80 cents to S6 cents and Eastern oils were marked up 10 cents. oil men have gone crazy over the 12-cent advance in Indiana oil in three days. The Standard Oil Company is responsible for the advance. Some think the price is going up be- cause of the failure of the Texas field; others say that the advance is caused by more drilling by independents.

 From present indications the banks will continue to gain in cash through sub, from the Pacific coast assay offices, there being about q, ,50O,000 of the latter which will probably arrive during the coming currency By transfer through the Treas ury to Chicago and of $100,0O0 to New Or leans, was evidently for the purpose of securing denominations of currency which were deficient at the points named and did not indicate a beginning of the crop movement as surmised in many quarters. The evident look for the pres stitutions in the wheat belt report a steady demand on the part of their coun- try correspondents for funds. This will no doubt be reflected soon at the East, but the trend just now is not in this di- rection. At any rate, the banks recouped rapidly in reserves and are in a strong position to meet the demands which may be made on them later.
