LIE SOLDIERS REouEsI.

-
Only a single bullet as 1t sped mid the
battles rain,
Into the ranks of the brave. true bovs
who fought in the war with Spain.
Only a single bullet, but it took the brave
and the fair;
Only a youth of twenty who fell in the
enemy'S snare
ossr the sloping meadows, where the
company's line gave way,
We carried a brave young hero who
dropped at his post that day.
We knelt beside him gently and smoothed
his damp, white brow,
And took his last sad message. with MANY
an earnest VOW.
He murmured: Now 1 lay me-" and.
fainter, down to Sleep"
We listened almost GREATNESS to the
whispered: soul to keep"
TITS but some childish prattle said we
with anxious care.
NO! only of home and mother. and the
prayer h taught me there.
Tell her I kept the promise I made that
last sad day;
hat 1 was true and faithful, and died al
a soldier may.
do say it. boys!' he faltered, as he gazed
with fading sight,
On the faces of those who loved him, as
they knelt in the waning light.
We looked at each in wonder, amazed at
such request,
And waited. as if choosing which one
could say it best.
Jim leaped above the dear one, then
bowed his crimson face.
And spoke the old words gently, with
strength which lent him grace.
He closed the sweet petition just as the
setting sun
Threw rays of glorious beauty on him
whose work was done.
We laid our brave young hero, with
mourning hearts and true,
On that far distant hillside, in folds of
starry blue.
We sent the waiting mother the message
full of pain;
Our tears oft fall at thought of him,
who fell in the war with Spain.
No loving hands sweet garlands threw
DER that lonely grave,
But the angels keep their silent watch
DER the true and the brave.

BIGGEST PASTORAL CHARGE.
Presiding Elder Phifer's District
Covers an Area of $4,000
Square Miles.

Northern Colorado has the largest
pastoral charge in the world. 1t is
known as the Greeley district" and
is in charge of Presiding Elder Rev. W.
D. Phifer, of Greeley. The district eX-
tends from Nebraska on the east to
Utah on the west, and from Wyoming
on the north to $50 miles southwark in
Colorado, say the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
This great empire, v e which a sim
gle man presides, is equal in area to a
third of Colorado. 1t must be all Wis
tied, too, as often as possible. The pre-
siding elder is the business manager of
the churches, and DIR. Phifer travels
constantly in order to meet with the
various pastors under his charge.
When he prepares for one of these
long journeys he faces a difficult task.
He must travel over an area of nearly
4 5000 square miles, a territory sc
times as large as Rh~de Island, and as
large as Delaware, New Jersey, Mary
land and Rhode Island combined.
There are single counties in the dis
trict as large as the last-named state.
The district is larger than Pennsyl-
vania or Ohio, taken alone. 1t is a wild
region, inviting the hunter and trap
per, and the man who seeks sport
either with gun or camera.
The pastor who journeys through
this western empire must take all nee
essary precautions to insure safety.
for many perils may confront him. In
the winter deep SHOWS block the noun
tain passes, and in summe streams
must be forded. Occasionally wander
ing bands of Indians, who have run
from the reservations to hunt
game. are encountered. They are
harmless, but unpleasant company. It
requires nearly three months for DIR.
Phifer to visit the Al charges in his
district. The pastors, who with him
care for the spiritual welfare of the
people, are a brave band. They are
nearly all young; some are college
and all work from higher
motives than salary or prominence
aDd popularity.

WATERS ARE DIPLOMATS.
Restaurant Patron RECALLED by
Smooth GarcOn and Relieved
of a Tip.

One of the patrons of a downtown
restaurant laid down his paper h
other evening and, more to kill time
than because he believed the fact need
ed enforcement, relates the Chicago
Inter Ocean, said to the waiter:
That man Choate is a great diplo-
mat, isn't he, George"
HE is" said George, brushing a
crumb about the size of three pinheads
from the cloth; The is, sir, but if you'll
let me say it, l and my mates here are
better diplomats than he"
For instance
There are a hundred for instances.
Mr.. Choate, and Sir Julian, and Mr..
Hay, and all of them have a great deal
of material to worhwith. waiter is a
diplomat without any properties to
help his act along, as we used to say
when l took care of the front street
scene in vaudeville. l contend, sir,
that a Chicago waiter is the best diplo-
mat on earth, and I'll show you why.
DO you know how much pay he
gets? No, you don't, and very few 9TH
ers do. His salary (and it is the same
in all the first-class restaurants here)
is eight dollars a week. The difference
between hat and what it costs him to
live, he must get from tips. and that
is where his diplomacy comes in.
First, he must make friends with
the head waiter, so that he will get a
chance t o serve people who look as if
they have money. Next, he must serve
them in such a way that they Will want
to give him ON of it. The good wait
er acts as if he is neither to be seen nor
heard, but is only at the table to antici-
pate every wish of the members of his
party. He watches every man keenly.
His eyes never stray. No matter what
he hears, he pretends he hears moth
ing. He looks upon broken crockery
as of no Importance. He regards his
party as the only ones in the restau-
rant. He is soft-footed, and when he
has to speak he is soft-voiced. He acts
asst his party is possessed of unlimited
cash and unlimited credit. He is Z
slave, old servant and manager in one,
and in the end he gets the liberal tip
by pretending to regard a tip as super
fuous. That's what makes a good
waiter. sir
"And that's diplomacy"
Eyes, sir, that's diplomacy, and cash.
Thank you, sir; that's a very liberal
tip"

TARIFF N u S
without Protection the MonOpOlis-
tic Combines Would Not Long
BE in Existence.

In the discussion of the tariff and
It's creation, the trusts, which was the
feature of the recent Washington ses-
sion of the industrial commission,
Congressman Taylor, of Ohio, sub
mitted certain figures which were en-
tightening as bearing upon the no.
nopoly combine system.
Mr.. Taylor defended the Dingley
tariff law, and had no remedy to sug-
gest for abatement of the trust evil;
yet he expressed himself as deeply
apprehensive of the cost of the latter
to the consuming public. He called
especial attention to the recently Dr.
! ganized steel trust, declaring that it's
securities now amount to 81, SOC, 000,-
300, while its cost had not been one
third that amount. Nevertheless, as
serted the Ohio congressman, the
holders of those securities would de-
mand returns upon them.
It is the purchasers of the products
of the steel trust, and the laborers
employed by the steel trust, who
must pay to the holders of inflated
steel trust securities the returns de-
manded. This win come from the
consumer in the form of higher prices
dictated by the trust, which absolute
ly controls all markets. 1t will come
from the laborer in the employ of the
steel trust in the form of lowered
wages accepted at the dictation of the
trust, which exercises a large control
of the labor market. And just as the
billion-dollar trust operates to the
sore cost of the and the
Iaborer. so do the smaller trusts oper-
ate in their respective fields.
Congressman Taylor is either Of
defective vision in failing to get a
full and wide view of the tariff and
trust field, or else he has not the
courage of his convictions and so de-
clines to give them full expression.
He should know that most of the
trusts could not exist without the
high tariff. He should know that the
continues to enrich the trusts |
at the expense of the people. He
know that the removal of the
high protective tariff would also re-
the trusts. And he should be |
brave enough to frankly confront the
truth and work on the peoples side. |

1t is gratifying to find that some
are recognized in connec-
ton with the imperial pow er vested in
the executive. Apparently Mr.. Knox
and Mr.. Root shrink from declaring
that Mr.. Mckinley can levy taxes upon

yress is competent to levy. But as for

reservoir, containing 1O,O0v,0O0 gal

and caused great damage. No lives
were lost, but a fire operator had a
narrow escape. The money loss will
probably reach $3.50, 900. The reservoir,
which is owned by the city and which
was only completed few days ago,
was filled during the morning for the
first time. It was taxed to it's utmost
capacity when the break occurred. A
gang of laborers were laying pipes in

and miracul0usly escaped death. The
basin is located 500 feet above the
pumping station on the highest hill in

wall gave way the water shot down
the incline with a mighty roar, the
noise made warning the occupants of
the endangered houses, who rushed
to place OF safety in time to save
themselves. A party of children were
playing in a road directly in the path

fered severely and traffic on a half
