Is the West Over-crowded I?

Horace Greeley's advice to the young
man to "go West is apparently out OF
date. The Western Labor Union states
that there Is no chance in the West for
any young man except the young man
With capital. The Union condemns the
railroad advertising which paints the re-
sources of the West in glowing colors,
and brands such statements as mlslead-
ing in character and criminal III their
effect" Many influential papers in the
West endorse the statements expressed
by the president Of the Labor Union.
They all admit the brilliant opportuni-
tics for the investment Of capital in the
West, but say that the poor man has no
chance. The expression Of such views
as these seems unfortunate and uncalled
fer at this time of general prosperity.
II every community that has been
"hocmed" beyond its real producing ca
pacity, 1t is Inevitable that there should
bs numbers CT idle men. This is also
true OF every agricultural community at
certain seasons. But these conditions
are temporary and right themselves in a
short time. The Western Labor Union
states that the resources Of the West are
''limitless-to men of capital" Where
there is room for investment capital gen.
orally goes-and where capital goes
tl.erc Is bound to be room for labor. The
West may be a Nttle overcrowded with
labor just at present. but there Is moth
Ing to be alarmed at in this condition,
and there is certainly no zane reason for
the hue and cry that the Western Labor
Union has raised.-Harper's Weekly.

PATTERiNG FEET.

Something's a-foot; beware, bewarei
Something is climbing the bedroom stair,
With here a stumble and there a slip,
Into the passage-trip, trip, trip.
Sharp little footballs queer and quick,
Never a careful step they pick.
Quantity marking a morning song,
Hurry-scurry they rush along.
Tripping bright on the passage floor,
Up they come to you bedroom door.
Never was music half SO sweet
As the pit-a-pat patter of tiny feet.
Dear little voices. high and clear,
Ring like a bell in the sleeper's ear,
Small hands pluck at his touzled head.
Daddy, oh, Daddy, get out of bed.'
Keeping the rulesits all a game
Out they patter as In they came,
But somehow the song moves rather slow,
AS down the passage and off they go.
And It's oh for the years that have
passed away,
And the feet that battered at break OF
day.
Now they are heavily booted feet,
And they tramp and stamp In the busy
street.
And some of them seemed to tire of fun.
So they wandered away till they met the
sun;
But he sends them sliding along his
beams.
To patter again In your morning dreams.
