A NATIONS GRIEF.

A NATIONS GRIEF. l Hush! and speak low, the nations troubled heart Beats audibly, and every long drawn breath With sad pulsations bears its mournful I ~ part, For now the country's chief lies low in death. Hush! and speak low, for every patriot Is beating in an agony of grief, For this inhunan act has borne its part In taking from us our beloved chief. Hush! and speak low, the nations heart is breaking In a long wall of utter grief and woe; For this mysterious sleep that knows no waking, For this foul action, this most crush ing blow. Hush! and speak low; in vain we check our sorrow; Gods will be done," but let us sob and weep;
 
 morrow; That heart Is pulseless in dreamless sleep. Hush! and speak low; 1nurky pail of gloom Covers the nation like dismal cloud; The nation that thro' him gave fairest bloom
  And richest fruitage from his life en- dowed. Hush! and speak low, for he endowed us well: He nursed his country to a wealth of power, And his immortal name will weave it's spell Round this republic every coming hour.

 Governor Mclean yesterday issued the following proclamation: | Whereas, The president of the United l States has issued proclamation an- nouncing the death of President Me- Kinley and appointing Thursday next as the day of mourning and prayer throughout the nation, 1t seems fitting that the executives of the several states should give public response to this proclamation, and I therefore urge the people of Connecticut to observe that day in accordance with the wishes of the president, and by appropriate cer- emonies testifying their devotion to God and their country, their hatred or crime and their love and admiration for the heroic spirit that has just pass ed away.
 After issuing the proclamation Gov ernor Mclean went to the law office of ex- Congressman Sperry in Hartford. He stated there that he would not send a message to Buffalo or Washington, inasmuch as Lieutenant Governor Keeler sent message on Saturday. The message sent then was as follows:
 Norwalk, Conn, Sept IA, 1901. Hon. George B. Cortelyou, Secretary to President, Buffalo, N. r.:
 Connecticut expresses great grief and sorrow at the death of our beloved president, and extends to his wife and all relatives her deepest and most heart felt sympathy.

pERFECP ENOUGH.

No such thing as perfect woman, says distinguished tailor, and then he goes on to say that every woman is more or less lopsided, A woman may be perfectly proportioned in every other particular, but when 1t comes to the
 hips there is always a discrepancy in the measurements. In every woman one hip is at least an inch larger than the other. In some cases it is the right side, and in other cases the left. It is no uncommon thing for one side to be two inches larger than the other, and in some instances the difference is as much as three inches. Every woman is lop- sided at least an inch.
 This tailor view of Woman is mildly interesting, but not at all important. What difference does it make if Woman is not quits mathematically perfect, so long as she appears perfect to man? She is perfect enough in every way, and there is no use talking about the little variations from perfection which critical measurement may show. A discoverer of any imperfection in Woman should forget it, for it doesn't count, and it ought not to-

cORy AND OATS roo.

| While the tulip market in New York
 is flourishing the market for corn and oats in Chicago, personally conducted | by young man named Phillips, is also
 doing we'll. Of course young Mir Phil | lips isn't getting any such prices for
 his corn and oats as tulips are bringing in New York, but he is doing quite well. and apparently feels confident of being
 able to do still better. He is franker than some of the New York dealers in tulips, and here are some of the figures which he has given out to indicate what
 he has been doing; May purchases, 16.- 000,00O bushels; average cost, 45 cents;
 sales to date, 100000 bushels; average profit on sales. 10 cents ($50O,OOO); profit 17 cents on S50,000 bushels sold Friday
 for personal account, sl45,oOO; present
 holdings 11,oo00oo bushels, profit 13 cents (s1 ,430,0 ,0oO) sales 5,000,0OO bushels July, average A cents, against 3,0O0,00O
 bushels cash corn, average 4 cents
 Sales 100000 bushels July, 46 to 47 cents; paid out for 3OO0,OO0 bushels cash corn, average 40 cents 1,2oO OoO) long 6,O00,0O0 bushels May oats, average 26 cents; sales 100000 bushels, average 2S cents. profit cents (s20,0O0); paper profit on oats, $1OO,OOO; paid out for D. 100000 bushels oats, average 26 cents (s52o.OoO).
 How young MT. Phillips will come out remains to be seen. Some think he will soon have more corn offered to him than he will want to buy, just as hap pened to young MT. Letter. Time will tell. Meanwhile let us admire the gall of young man who feels able and in- clined to buck this whole country and several foreign nations. If he succeeds perhaps he will turn his attention to the New York tulip market to which he would be a valuable addition as long as he lasted.

WHAT CAN RE DONE.

Forestry is receiving some of the at tention in this country 1t ought to re- ceive, and # will receive more as it's value grows in public appreciation. What can be done by intelligent appli- cation of it is well illustrated in Orsa, Sweden. The inhabitants of Orsa have in the course Of a generation sold $4,- 600,000 worth Of trees, and, by means of judicious replanting, provided for a similar income every thirty or forty years. This money from the sale of trees has made it possible for the peo- pie of Orsa to get along without taxing themselves. Railroads telephones and schools are absolutely free There are no monthly gas bills and no semi an- nual water rents to pay, and whenever the Orsaites think they need them they build city halls and court houses and such things without reaching into their pockets. Their trees do the business.
 Of course we do not really need any thing as long as the tulip market con tinues good and en,iching. but by and by it will pay us to seriously consider the money there is in trees.

as yet unapplied force in the building up of character.
 There is curious parallel between the two somewhat conservative and an- tiquated ideas that one meets among certain types of Englishman and Amer ican, respectively; in the one, that the teachings of Bright and Golden are im- mutable; in the other that democracy is an invention of the United States.
 If the national trust in England and in America shall point to a higher aim in the teaching of history, shall visual ize it and direct it upon conditions of life and upon character, and in so do- ing bring the mighty force 1t contains to bear on modern democracy, it will be doing a greater workk than any it has yet achieved,-C.
