As wanting due relief.

Think, too, of the wonderfully exciting
and never ending charm in "Who Killed

THE POET OFFERINGS.
From Chaucer's "ruddock bonnie and
Spenser's ''ruddock warble soft we
pass down through long lines of poetic
tribute, and In Celtic Cymbeline
1.-The ruddock would.
With charitable bill bring thee all this.
Yea, and furrid moss besides when tiowersare none
To winter ground thy corse."
Impossible almost to pick and choose
where such wealth of alusion bewilders
Drayton, Grahame, Ccwley, Prior, Col
lins, Leyden, Gay, Thomson, Rogers,
Wordsworth, in short every one who sings
of the woods and the home and happy
joyous life.
The spirit of the old ballad, which tells
of the robin and the wren covering "The
friendless bodies Of unmarried men, is
revived with great effect in Herrick re-
quest to the Robin
Laid out for dead, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and mosse-work for to cover me;
And while the wood-nimphs my cold corps inter-
Sing thou my Dirge. sweet-warbling Choristerl
For Epigraph in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is"
Pagan but most poetic Herrick The
last and most fitting tribute one can offer
to the memory of the Robins of the Ages.

BEAUTIFUL INDIAN LEGEND.

Most interesting, too, is the Indian le-
gend showing common feeling with the
white man for this popular bird.
According to tribal custom, certain
youth, son of mighty chief, was set apart
for twelve days fast, preparatory to the
great feast whereat the rites and privileges
of manhood should be accorded him. But
hunger overpowered him, and just as he
was about to expire his guardian spirit
transformed him into redbreast. The old
warrier and his followers, at the close of the
prescribed probation, set out to congratulate
him, and, 10 remorse and grief swept over
the fathers heart on seeing the lifeless
body of his son. But as he gazed, red
thrush overhead bade him be of good cheer,
saying the spirit of his son would ever dwell
near him, and the homes of men, though
never again could it assume human shape.
But he would never show sign of regret
over his fate, neither sound of reproach; !;
but cheerful and sprightly his songs would
ing morn and pipe sweet good night, and
for his sake, too, his race would ever be
harbingers of peace and joy for all man
kind. And SO the Indian adds his exqui-
site tribute of beauty and faith to the bird s
inheritance Of tradition and benefaction.
Everywhere we find his record the same !;
the most intimate, respectfully intimate of
all the birds with man; bold and fearless
and self confident, anu yet never approach
ing the saucy independence of the sparrow.
Sure of welcome is Robin, for:
1.-The yeriest clown, beside his cart
Turns from his song with many smile
To see him from the hedgerow start
To sing upon the stile."
HIS PET NAMES
That dear familiarity which alone per-
mits pet name, too, is his, for in Nor
way he is ''Peter Bonsmed;" in Germany,
''Thomas Guidet" in Bornholm, "Tome
Liders, or, as Wordsworth expresses the
same
"Art thou the Peter of Norway boors
Their Thomas in Finland
And Russia, far inland?
The bird who, by some name or other,
All men who know thee call thee brother
The darling of children and men,"
Yet, though he never shows fear of
human friends, he is most shy with fellow
birds, exclusive in his social circle and
model husband
OUR NURSERY TALES.
What would we do without the "Babes
in the Wood in our nurseries Here,
again, the habits of our little friends who
cover their nest, and even their eggs, with
leaves, when they sally forth on a trip,
have undoubtedly helped to develop the
story of:
when they were dead,
The robins so red
Brought strawberry leaves
And over them spread"
How we listened and sympathized, and
at the Christmas pantomime saw nothing
ludicrous in the bulky, overgrown robins
who, with most awkward hops across the
stage, acted out the tragedy of that last
sad verse, which filed our minds and hearts
in otherwise happy, childish delight of scene
and story
Thus wandered these poor innocents
Till death did end their grief.

mate and inanimate in natures world
around, all offering their tribute of praise.
The beasts of the field, the birds of the air
and sea, the myriads of creatures with
wings, the creeping things of the earth
all alike joined in Christmas joy or Easter
gladness.
Even the dead wood budded and filed
itself with rejnvenating sap because Easter
was at hand.
THE CROWN OF THORNS.
In the Golden Legend and the Legends
of St. Brendan and Maeldune we realize
how sympathetically dear to the Celtic
heart were the songs and worship of the
many birds. Nor need we wonder thereat
as we recall st. Columba's favorite S4th
Psalm and its story of the Swallow and
the Sparrow within the Courts of the Lord.
What finer text or higher source were
needed by the legend weavers of primitive
days?
Most pathetic of all bird legends is that
of the robin redbreast of Celtic Brittany; a
story SO universally accepted and approved
that poets have ever written of him as the
''pious bird .
1t was on the day when our Lord Jesus
felt his pain upon the barbarous cross of
wood. small and tender bird, which
lowered awhile around, drew nigh about
the seventh hour, and nestled upon the
wreath of Syrian thorns; and when the
tla % ba 81 bahnlI thaca al
spikes, the thirty and three which pierced
that bleeding brow, she was moved with
compassion and the piety of birds, and she
sought to turn aside if but one of those
thorns with her futtering wings and her
lifted feet 1t was in VAN. She did but
rend her own soft breast until blood flowed
over her feathers from the wound.
Then said voice from among the an
gels-"Thou hast done well, sweet daugh-
ter of the boughs Yea, and [ bring thee
tidings of reward Henceforth from this
very hour, and because of this deed Of thine,
it shall be that in many land thy race and
kind shall bear upon their bosoms the hue
and banner of thy faithful blood; and the
children of every house shall yearn with a
natural love towards the birds of the ruddy
breast and shall greet their presence in Its
season with voice of thanksgiving.
BRoN- -RHUDDYN.
Second only to this is another Celtic
legend, which one hears everywhere in
Wales
To the far distant spirit land of sorrow,
darkness and perpetual fire, an awful region
Of wailing and woe, the robin goes every
day, bearing in his bill drop of water to
quench the evil flames, yenturing so close
in his zeal that his feathers are scorched by
the fires, and so, in the Welsh tongue, he
is Bron- -rhuddyn, or the breast burnt.
THE PAGAN STORY.
Such are the religious stories of the red :
breast
But as the early Christians, time and
again, attached their own particular religi-
GUS belief and significance to the Pagan
legends and NEUROLOGICAL stories already in
existence, we can easily prove an earlier
mysterious and supernatural belief in the
robin red feathers, and this universal
reverence undoubtedly produced a necessity

THE EASTER DAWN.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Methinks with shining of the morning star,
An Angel from the utIermost ether sweeps,
(He of the resurrecton) and aiar,
Where any soul, grown listless, waits or weeps,
With trumpet clearness o'er its desert cries.
The single word, "Arise -
His feet are shod with light: halo shines
Around His forehead, dazzngly pure.
His garments with sweet odors laden are,
His glance like fire, scorches, yet refines.
lie bids thee rise, from depths of unbelief
Wherein is bitterness and woe exceeding,
From the dark places where in anguished grief
Thy wounded spirit lies all spent and bleeding
From low celled dungeons, poisonous, wherein
Prisoned art thou by power and guilt of sin.
Know there can be no hell of black despair,
But with Almighty tenderness divine,
TIL, gentle Christ yearns tow ard thee even there!
o heart man
What painful ,oubts and dark sin SORROWS dwell
Within thy tenement abashed in dust
Thy hopes of pity aud of pardoning love.
Thy winged thoughts of holy joy and trust.
Why clasp the c. oss and cover in Calvarys gloom,
Fronting the night and weeping at the tomb?
Behold tbs lingering clouds already blush,
Faint CLEANS of gold upon the east appear,
And, mid sacred and half tremulou, hush,
The Angel of the Dawn is drawing nearl

An Appeal for the Observance of
Labor Day.

Next Monday, September ,, is
Labor's day, Information received
from the various centers of indus
try in this state and elsewhere for
tells that it will be celebrated as
never before. In our glorious
young state, teeming with the hum
of progress and alive with ad-
vancement, | am sure the day will
be observed by greater number
of organizations and working peo-
pie than ever in its history. The
soil of our cities and towns will
feel the tread of the producers of
wealth in greater numbers than
ever before on such an occasion
A mighty army, greater in num-
bers than that commanded by
many conquerers of nations in the
past, will march in peaceful pa
rade. While there will be noglint
from military trappings to flash in
the sun. the marchers will say to
the onlookers by their mum bers
and actions that they are an army
of peace, battling for the right
with the two greatest weapons
organization and education.

THE treasury department has
decided adversely to the contain
tion of the Porto Ricans that the
proclamation of the president, de
claring free trade with their isl
and, did not affect the imposition
of the five cents import tax on cof-

Coal expectations from the
United States during the fiscal
year Just ended, as shown by the
treasury bureau of statistics,
amounted to $22,3l7, ,496, against
Sl9,502,Sl3 in the fiscal year 1900,
$ll ,66l, OPS in 1899, $ll ,00S,643 in
1897, $l0,646,062 in 1896, and
IS, ,39l ,062 in 1891. Thus the value
of coal expectations from the
United States has doubled since
1897 and nearly trebled in the de-
cade, Measured by quantity the
increase has been even greater, the
exports in 1901 being 7,676,l49
tons, against 2,339,039 tons in 1891 i,
thus making the total exports of
1901 in quantity more than three
times as much as in 1891.

The report of the pension bu-
resu for the past fiscal year shows
a net increase of peneioners of
1906. OF these 3,S49 were Span
ish war sufferers, leaving a net in
crease due to the civil war of 357.
Considering that it is thirty-six
years since the war was over, this
fact is little less than marvellous,
The total number now on the rolls
is 977 ,735, or about one in seventy
five of the population of the whole
country. This percentage would,
of course, be much higher if the
south, where comparatively few
pensions are granted, we're elimi-
mated.

respite, and especially is this posi-
ton said to have been taken by
managers of some of our great
mines and mills. | am slow to be-
lieve that this is true. 1t seems to
me that those who enjoy the fruits
of the delivers in the ground after
precious metals will not manifest
spirit so narrow The day is a
legal holiday Labor has a right
to demand the day Its dignity
and Importance have been recog-
nized by every state and 10y the
United States government. and
under our laws an employe is Sc
cure in refusing to labor on that
day In our own state one idea of
the Legislature in setting apart
this one day in the whole 365 for
labor, was to give the thousands of
working men and women in Colo
RADIO an opportunity to show their
strength and influence, and enable
the great public to realize the
meaning of the organized labor
movement and what a great factor
it is in the upbuilding and adj
vancement of the community. No
true man or woman who partici-
pates in the exercises incident to
Labor day can help being better
citizen thereafter
Let not an employer of labor in
Colorado display an ungenerous,
unfair and on-progressive spirit
by denying this holiday to the
men who make his prosperity pos
sible The day is here to stay
and | trust that there is not within
the confines of the Centennial
state one employer of labor who
will so far forget himself that he
is but human as to attempt to in
any way endeavor to block the
free and full observance of Labor's
holiday While it is true that
some great Industries cannot en-
tirely close down, the great major
ity can, and those that fail so to
do will certainly not be looked
upon as friendly to organized
labor.
| therefore urge upon all classes
the necessity of proper observ-
ance of Labor day, and ask their
assistance and cooperation in
making it gigantic success, |
ask that all employers of labor
everywhere in the state aid us 10y
closing their places of employment
so that their employees may march
with their fellow workers.
| especially appeal to the mine
and smelter managers in the Grip
pie Greek district, Leadvile, Tel
luride, Ouray, Silvertou, in Pueblo,
Durango, in fact in every section
of our state to close for the day
and allow their employees the op-
portunity of observing in fitting
manner the day that is their own.
| urge all the unions of the Fed
GRAFTON to turn out in their great
est strength and spare no efforts
to make this the first Labor day
of the twentieth century historic
in itsmagnitude and prophetic of
that measure of influence which
labor should command, and am
sure that our state will be the bet
ter for the day being observed in
fitting manner,
