For the convenience of our read
ers who have had neither the time

document, given in a clear cut, in
cisive style from a Republican view
point.
The President euIogizes his pre-
deeessor, denounees his assassin and

that the legitimate accumulation of
large fortunes BY individuals Incl
dentally benefits others,
cautions Congress against unnessar-
lily hampering those captains Of in

tial to business success, or unwar-
rantablv interfering with those grea,
corporations which have, by their
magnitude, been able to place this

CURRENT VERSE
Let Us All Re U,s.nnx n, Sunday.


We zeaiots made up Of stiff clay,
We sour-loOking children Of sorrow,
While not over jolly today
Resolve to be wretched tomorrow.
We can't TO a certainty tell
what mirth may molest US on Monday,
nut, al least, TO begin the week we'll.
Let US all be unhappy on sunday.
That day, the calm season Of rest.
shall come 10 freezing and frigid;
\ gloom ali our thoughts shall invest,
sneh as Calvin would call oyer-rigid-
Nlth sermons from morning till night
wen strive TO be decent and dreary,
20 preachers praise and delight
VINO ne'er think that sermons can weary.
All tradesnen cry up their own wares,
In this they agree wen together;
The mason BY stone and lsae Swears
The tanner is always for leather
Ihe smith still for iron would 90,
The schoOlmaster stands Up for teaching
And the Tarson would fain have you know
There's nothing on earth like his preaching.
The face Of kind Nature is fair.
But our system ohscures its effulgence.
How sweet is a breath OF fresh air!
But our rules don't allow the Indulgence.
These gardens, their walks and green bowers.
Might be free 10 the poor man for one day,
But no! the glad plants and gay flowers
Mustn't bloom or smell sweety Sunday.
What though good precept we strain
Till hateful and hurtful we make it,
What though in thus pulling the rein
We may draw il tight to break it.
Abroad forbid folks to roam
For fear they get social and frisky,
But, Of course, they SIT still at home
And get dismally drunk upon whisky.
Then. though we can't certainly tell
How mrth may molest US on Monday,
At least, 10 begin the week we'll,
Let us all be unhappy on sundayi

The Defeated.

We sing Of victory, Of victory, we, the defeated;
With shining, steady fingers, point stars, seen
through tears;
Vaunt valor, though long vanquished, peace
though unbiessed;
Fearlessuess. knowing all letters and all fears.
We sing Of victory, Of victory, we. the defeated;
Herald high hopes, whose hopes are long since
dead,
The climbers say we sit serene and look unto u.s.
Well. be il So we know the way they tread
How much they need the smile, the singing, this
know;
How. sweet the goal may be. we have been near
it;
So let seem to smile to them below
Yea, sing brave. loud song that they may
hear it.
Though earth fall from US, let US stand firm
footed,
Lift up cur eyes to mirror suns therein;
Sing out full-throated, be merciful, warm-handed
Stronger than death, and wiser far than sin.
But only this we ask: for one swift hour at
nightfall,
Give us the dark TO siroud u.s. foot and head;
That we. ourselves. may own ourselves defeated,
And vail aloud because our hopes are dead

The Four Leaf Glover.

I know place where the sun is like gold
and the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf cloyers grow.
One leaf is for hope. and one is for faith,
And is for love, you know;
And Gcd puts another in for luck
If you search you will find where they grow.
But you must have hope, and you must have iaith;
You must love and be strong-and So
II you work, if YOU wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

July Days.

Softly drone the honey bees:
Blossom scented is the breeze;
Golden Is the gfain.
Over all the ilintest haze
Resss, and songbirds pipe their lays
In . sweeter strain.
From the meadows comes the scent
OF the new hay, clover blent-
In the topaz sky
Fleecy clouds, ike ships at sea,
Floating onward lazily,
Or at anchor lie.
Nature now is doubly dear
To my soul, for doubly near.
At July's behest.
She has come, and coming brings
Surcease from all weary thirgs-
Blissful sense Of restt

In Angel Court the sunless air
Grows faint and sick; to left and right
The covering houses shrink from sight.
Huddling and hopeless. eyeless. bare.
MisHamed you say. For surely rare
Must be the angel-shapes that light

Nay: the Eternities are there
Death by the doorway stands to smite;
Life in its garrets leaps to light:
And Love has climbed the cTambling stair
In Angel Court!

The Enemy.

Unsehooled in Letters and in Arts unversed;
Ignorant Of Empire; bounded in their view
By the lone biilowing veldt where they upgrew
Amid great silences; people nursed-
Apart the iar-sown seed OF them that erst
Not Alva's sword could tame; now, blindly buried
Against the march Of the majestic world
They fight and die with dauntleSs bOsoms curst,
Crazed, il you VIII; demented, not TO yield
Ere all is refti Yet, mad though these NAV be,
They have striyen as noblest Englishmen did use
To strive for freedom; and no Brit0n he
Who TO such yalOr in a desperate field
A kniGhtly salutation refuse.

A whirl OF ribbon and Of lace
Her parasol.
Her parasol is pink and white
With strings of scarlet sweet TO see,
As dainty as a thing could be
With bows and ribbons all hedight,
And though it screens her from the light,
Alas! II screens my light from me
