THE kNiTfERS.

All hail to the little brown fingers
That pull the first blossoms of life,
And hail to the strong hand that fingers
To calm the hot pulses of strife!
But where, with the last light caressing
Their thin silver tresses, they sit
Our hearts call down favor and blessing
Upon the old ladies that knit.
Their hands have long since dropped the
burden
And peace and repose are the guerdon
That follows long labor and care.
Ambition has burned down to embers;
Hopes outgrow the old nest and fit.
Alone with the love that remembers
They sit by the iiresde and knit
Where now is the full mending- basket.
Not empty one day in the year?
Speak gently and low as you ask 1t,
Lest the dulled ear bent near you should
hear
For the children have grown and departed,
The work of the daylight is gone;
In the twilight of life, tender-hearted,
The knitters are waiting for dawn.
Full soon shall the light break above them,
That shines from the City of Rest.
Full soon shall we gather who love them,
To fold their frail hands On the breast.
Oh, evening of life, slow descending,
Rest gently upon each white head,
Till these fingers, the last stitches ending,
Shall touch the first harp strings in
stead.
Curtis May, in Youths Companion.

from experience in time, l am afraid"
When Barbara went back to her
work the next morning, it was with
resolution to do something that
perhaps the talk with her mother bad
suggested. IN the afternoon she
asked Mrs. Ward for leave to GO and
see Mrs. Vane, and it was readily
granted.
When she knocked at the door and
Mrs. Vane heartily bade her enter,
she was more excited than she had
been in IA long time.
81 want you to help me make a
test, Mrs. Vane," Barbara said, as
the old lady sat erect, confronting
her and looking straight at her with
those terrible eyes. Barbara, how
ever, did not fear them. She under
stood the character of Mrs. Vane
thoroughly.
"Tell me all about it, DEAR" said
Mrs. Vane.
Barbara went on, calming her
| excitement, but not her interest.
When she was through Mrs. Vane
said: 81 am perfectly willing, my
dear. But / think / know how it will
come out, beforehand"
"But l want to prove it for my
self"

with the nearest approach to sigh

EllTorrance came of patriotic stock,
his ancestors having served in the

that of the preservation of the union.
Although under military age, he was
on June &c, 1861, enrolled as a pri-

years carried a musket, participating
in all the battles in which his regi-

Southern Representation.

The tamale man has again become
the subject for a good joke that is 60
ing the rounds. Among the crowds
that came to Memphis to see the pres
ident was IA long, gawky specimen
from the wilds of Kansas. That night
he stopped to talk few minutes with
a chance acquaintance in the lobby
of the Arlington and made the remark
that there were some queer customs
in vogue in Memphis.
"How SOP" asked the man he was
talking to.
"Why, gosh ding it," said he, "you
folks have still got the town crier."
"Crier your grandmother" ex-
claimed the other. you've been
drinking Beal street whisky, man"
Not much. l know he was the

forecast fer tomorrow. 1t nearly
gave me a conniption fit, for | thought
the weather here was of the Christian

passed a fellow down on Main street,
chap in uniform with a big copper
lantern, he sung out:

Grim and unattractive is its massive
exterior, but once inside the portals,
the pope finds himself in a most de-
lightful home. The rooms are large,
and are furnished comfortably though
plainly. and from many of the win
dows there is an extensive view, which
cannot fail to please a true poet like
Pope Leo. Furthermore, the air here
is cool and bracing, and the pope's ply
sican is confident that it will aid
greatly toward maintaining him in his
normal good health.

except one. She would have been
very stupid girl if she had not noticed
the difference between her reception
by different ladies in the church and
that given other young women. a
few women to whom Mrs. Ward had
warmly introduced her had treated
her in every respect like anyone else,
with neither patronizing nor hypo-
critical manner.
She had been invited into a Bible
class by the superintendent of the
Sunday-school, and had been well
coined without any notice taken of her
position; but, as the weeks went by,
she was simply ignored by the major
ity of people to whom Mrs. Ward had
introduced her. One invitation from
warm-hearted member of the class
she had accepted, to take tea at her
house; but her reception by other
young ladies who met her there was
not such as to encourage her to so
again.
AS far as the church was concerned,
she found herself simply passed by.
There was no uncivil or coarse con-
tempt of her. There was simply an
ignoring of her as a part of the Mar
BILE Square congregation For various
reasons she had not yet gone to the
Endeavor society. 1t met on Sunday
night before the preaching service,
and so far she had reserved her Sun
day nights as sacred to her mother,
who did not feel able to go out.
Il acknowledge what you say about
the church, mother. But | may be
partly to blame for it myself. ] don't
think the best people in Marble Square
church think any the less of me for
working as servant"
maybe not, and yet even the best
people are almost unconsciously in
fuenced by social habits and tradi-
tions. Why, even the minister is in
fuenced by them. This new young
man. Mr.-Mr.-what is his name"'
Morton" said Barbara, coloring;
but her mother did not notice, as her
eyes were very poor at night.
This Mr.. Morton, according to Mrs.
Nane, is n Te0a 2rkably good and SEN
sible and talented young man; but, If
you were to join his church and be-
come q worker there, you could not
expect him to ignore the fact that you
were a servant girl. He could not
even forget that fact when he was
speaking to you"
Il don't know why!" Barbara eX-
claimed almost sharply.
Il only used him as an illustration
of any educated Christian gentleman
anywhere" said Mrs. Clark, looking
somewhat s.rprised at Barbara's eX-
clamation.
"a Christian gentleman" replied
Barbara in a low tone, would not
make any distinction between a serv-
ant girl and a school-teacher.'
Mrs. Clark sighed. at is useless
for me to argue with you, Barbara.
You will probably learn all the bitter
ness of your position by painful facts.
All the theories of social equality are
beautiful, but very few of them
amount to anything in the real world
of society"
Il don't care for society,"" exclaimed
Barbara. THAT is, for society repre-
sented by wealth and fashion. But |
don't believe any real Christian will
ever make any cruel or false distinc-
tion between different kinds of labor.
"It isn't that altogether" Mrs
Clark wearily said, as if too tired to
continue. ITS a difference in social
instincts and social feelings that sep.
arates people. You will find it out

When summer began this year Pope
Leo. according to custom, left his
apartments in the vatican and went to

as Leo the Fourth's Tower" and
which has long been favorite summer

Peter.
The tower was constructed in the
fifteenth century, and is situated on
the northern side of the vatican hill.

Bees lose industry in the time of cI-
der making, if that process lasts long
er than a day. They hum and buzz
around the mills or trough, swarm
over the pomace, and end by getting
gloriously drunk as the cider gets hard
They will cluster thick along the edge
of an open bucket, sucking, sucking,
until sometimes, when they try to fly
away, they either tumble helpleSsly to
the ground or describe zig-zag somer-
xaults extremely diyerting. They will
also feed supinely upon shallow pans of
sugar and water set conveniently near,
though richly clustered fields and
woods may invite.-McClure's Maga-

she could not have walked back so
calmly.

of events within the past few years in
of the French republic, the king of Italy
and the empress of Austria have fallen
at the hands of anarchist assassins. A
list which includes the president of the
United States has been made public, and
strong circumstantial evidence has been
produced that it represents a list of vic
TINS marked out for assassination by
these fiends incarnate. While this is be-
ing written it is not impossible that some
other victim representing the majesty of
the law shall be called into eternity
through the act of one of these scoun-
drels.
AS clearly as anything ever was estab-
lished is it established that anarchism
represents conspiracy to murder indi-
vidual rulers and to destroy the fabric
Of civilized society. Toward men who
are capable of belonging to such an or
der or of propagating it's teachings there
is but one course fer civilized society to
take. and that is to- hunt them out of
existence They are the enemies of God
and man, and human society will totter
to it's fall if they could have their way.
The very first duty of congress when it
convenes will be to enact such laws as
will meet the urgent requirements OF
this case If it be necessary to- do so
there will be no difficulty whatever In
amending the constitutional definition of
treason to the United States, so as to
convict any assailant of the president OF
that crime and have melted out to him
the just measure of punishment of seek
ing to assail, through its living repre-
sentative, the sovereignty of the United
States of America Until this is done,
and, further, until an end is brought to
the form of political circus which is rep
presented by the prevailing carnival of
handshaking, the chief magistrate of this
people will be hourly open to being cut
down by another Czolgosz.

THE FIRST STEP.

The action of the police commission in
ordering Chief O'Connor to cause the
arrest of any person seen stringing wires
within the city without license may be
regarded as the practical beginning of
movement which is essential to the pub
lie safety and which has been rendered
necessary by the deliberate disregard of
the right of the public to the free and
safe use of the public thoroughfares.
It may be safely assumed that the COR
ing report set forth extensively the
present status of the relative rights Of
the corporations using the poles and the
city. There is of course no disposition to
interfere with the recognized privileges
of those corporations or to render the
exercise of those privileges more bur-
tates The fact that in other cities those
corporations are compelled to bury their
wires in the business districts has been
recognized, and, to some extent, the re-
quirement has been complied with with
u.s. So far as the law allows the city to
insist on that and every other precaution
in the use of those wires which may be
demanded by the public safety, the police
authorities will see that the demand is
respected Further there will be no dis
position to go.
The commissioner of public works has
shown, since the police commission took
the matter in hand, a disposition to CO.
operate in the necessary work. With the
cooperation of the police and the street
authorities, it will be comparatively
easy undertaking to put an end to the
Illegal and dangerous use of street poles
and remove the danger and sightliness
attendant on the present situation.
This subject Is one which, foolishly
enough, certain officials were disposed to
surround with political complexion.
There is nothing of the kind attaching to
it. 1t is purely a business proposition,
and can be disposed of in a business way
through the active exertions of the two
departments of city government immedf-
ately concerned in the proper use of the
public thoroughfares.

THE PUBLIC IND THE STRIKES.

that stage at which it seems universally
conceded that nothing short of the ex-
haustion of the resources of either side
will be effective in bringing it to an end
sideration of some means by which a
semi-barbarous state of things can be
avoided in the future
Mr.. Michael Davitt, in recent issue
of a New York newspaper, contributes an
altogether interesting article on the New
Zealand system of enforced arbitration,
the practical effect of which is that,
while the New Zealand law affects but
comparatively small community, it has
been effective in practice in putting an
end to strikes, and that some moditica-
ton or adaptation of it's provisions might
with effect be applied to industrial con-
ditions in the United States.
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, on the
other hand, in a similar communication

jeet of industrial disturbances. calls at
tention to the situation which exists in
the state of Massachusetts. The law
creating the board of railroad commits
sioners provides that it shall be the duty
| IN general way of that body to take
cognizance of the fact that the COM
munity is sustaining an injury or incon-
venience through the prevalence of a
| strike or tie-up, and to investigate the
cause of the same. Having SO investi-
| gated, the board is empowered to locate
the responsibility for such injury and
inconvenience and to make it's recon-
mendations accordingly. The findings of
the board might be made public, being
addressed to either or both Of the parties
or to the public generally, but they pos
sess only that significance which
their inherent good sense invests
them with. The operation of this
law has been. in one case which
Mr.. Adams specifies, that, such an

both parties concerned appeared the

THE True REMEDY.

j The day following the assassination of
the president, the Globe declared its
belief that the safety and perpetuatiun
of American institutions demanded that
whether by constitutional amendment or
legal enactment, it should be provided
that known anarchists not citizens of tha
United States should be deported. ana
that those who were naturalized should
be held to have forfeited their citizen
ship, and, furthermore, that an assault
or the person of the chief magistrate of
the country, being an assault on the SOW
eFsignty of the people of the United
States should be treated as treason to
the United States and on conviction
should be made punishable by death.
Several days elapsed before pub
lie thought became directed imme-
diately toward the preventive meas
ures in such a case and nov
from the published statements of
the most conservative and best inform
try it is apparent that public sentiment
is aggressively demanding that measures
OF this general character shall be
adopted.
The uniformity of expression which is
now being heard among the anarchists
from Miss Goldman down, to the effect
that there was no concurrent action
among them in connection with the as
sassination of the president. and that
the deed was done outside the TEACHINGS
OF the anarchistic Organizations, is well
worthy of note. Indeed. if the concur
rent testimony of those persons is to be
accented. anarchism is form of peaceful
propagation Of the most exalted concep-
tions of social relationship, and the knife.
the bullet and the bomb have no place
whatever in anarchistic policy.

Minister WI is high-class Chinaman.
He would naturally be expected to take
as moderate and reasonable a view OF
the proper treatment for the assailant
of the president as the average intelli-
gent and educated Chinaman. And yet
he advocates slow torture for Czoigosz;
he would have him slowly cut to pieces,
that his sufferings might be the more in
tense. If WI speaks for Chinese civili-
cation, and he is probably entitled to do
so. Chinese civilization is Szill far in the
background, and the Boxer outrages
not difficult to account for.-Minneapolis
Journal.
The Journal, evidently, did not read
the remarks of the two Christian gentle
men, Mr.. Naylor and Mr. Talmage.
These men represent as few others, the
Christian civilization of this century.
We fail to see any essential difference
between the scheme of punishment sug-
gested by Minister WI and those sug-
gested by the great Christian divines.
Yes, we think that WI represents Chi
nese civilization. There is no doubt of
that, but we see no reason why the
Boxer outrages should not be ac-
counted for by the revelation of Chris
tan brutality evidenced by Talmage and
Naylor.
