SEEK FOR THE WOMAN.
BY HARRY ELLARD.

When our lives are filled with trou-
BILE,
And our minds are growing weak,
And we wonder why our brains
whirl like ball,
The great nightmore haunting o'er
When our restless cots we seek.
Is the woman at the bottom of it
all.
When man is thought as honest
BY his many friends around,
From his place of faith and merit
takes fall,
The same old cause Is given,
When his shortages are found.
There's woman at the bottom
of 1t all.
When a man turns out scoundrel,
And feloa's cell he fills,
To his ankles they have placed
chain and ball.
In his moments of reflection.
He can see the many frills
OF the woman at the bottom of
it all.
When parson of the parish,
Whom all thought SO good and true,
Seeks a path not very righteous
in his call
Yea, verify. thou knowest,
When the matters sifted through,
That a woman's at the bottom
of it all.
When happy home is broken.
And wife is brought to grief
By the actions of her husband in
his fall.
When his bank account is lessened
'Tis not hard to guess the thief
It's the woman at the bottom of
When at last a man is tired
OF the life that he has led,
With q suicidal death he ends
it all
Everybody tells the story
That is worn unto a thread
There's a woman at the bottom
of 1t all.
And so long the world is moving
In its path around the sun,
All the trouble that is found so
great or small
Has but sole beginning.
AS our course through life is run
'Tis the woman at the bottom of
it all.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.

How often from our very heart
We let our anger rise,
And never mind the pleading looks
That come from soulful eyes;
We crush. we bruise. in passions hour,
And scorn the falling tear:
Little Things, oh, Little Things,
What sorrow wrought you here!
You count. oh yes, you Little Things,
You count. but not for gain:
You count to sadden trusting hearts,
You count for naught in pain.
You count as clouds in some ones sky.
You darken some ones day;
o cruel little deeds and words,
We can't undo, unsay,
Then ever speak the kindly word
Instead of one OF pride;
Twill Danish sorrow from soul
And anger turn aside.
The loving word. and deed and glance,
Is borne on angel wings,
And angel voices echo true:
Be kind In Little Thingsl

EPILOGUE.
BY CHARLOTTE BECKER, in Ainslee's.

1t is good, dear heart, to have seen the sun,
To have felt ones youth and the joys thereof;
To have dreamed fair Dreams when the day was done
Of the world-old miracles, hope and love.
1t is well to have known pains icy breath,
To have measured with sorrow, face to face
To have learned grim truths from the lips of DEATH
To have heard care follow, and won the race.
And now, at the last, when the rides west,
And time and the twilight let down the bars
That guard the crossing-ah me, it is best
To pay toll of all to faith and the stars!

UP AGAINST IT.

The defunct city administration
that recently turned its toes to the
daisies is going to pretty soon be up
against it good and strong. II was
elected over four years ago, as a ere
buke," we have been often told, to
the Republican council that preceded
it, and did more for the city than any
council in its history. This last
administration discharged its trust by
leaving the city bankrupt. And il
there is anything to show for it,
we should like to have it pointed
out. One hundred thousand dollars
was spent ON the streets. and yet
where have we a single good street ?
1t spent thousands Of dollars on Gull
verts and drains, ard the benefits"
of the money thus wasted are evident
only after heavy rain, when locali-
ties comprising many blocks are
blockaded until they become public
nuisances.
We are confronted with the biggest
deficit IN the history Of Paducsh-and
this the work Of the administrati ion
that was elected as reproach to the
Republican Business Mems councill
But The Sun does not desire to lay
on too severely. The present city adj
ministration will attend to that.
When it gets through with its esteemed
predecessors there will be no occasion
for remarks. The last administration
will be shown up in all its wanton ex-
travagance. There are two reasons
why this is probable. One is that
Mayor Yeiser is too shrewd poll
tician to shoulder the load left him by
the past administration, without let.
ting the people know Just how heavy
it is. His political ambitions are
doubtless not yet gratified. He is
young man, comparatively, and no
doubt expects further honors at some
futus,o time, and he cannot afford to
silently shoulder the oppressive bar
den left him by his friends. II lie ex-
poets to accomplish anything, he can
not show what he has accomplished at
the end of his term. unless it is made
plain now how he found things.
In addition, one member Of the pres
ent council WAS four years ago de-
feated for the mayorality by the gen
tleman who recently stepped down
and out, and in the nature of things
it woald be reasonable to suppose he
would not be averse to showing the
people what q mistake they made.
Hence these two destructive agencies
will doubtless tend to place the past
administration in as bad q light as
p ossible. which will be bad enough if
. simple statement is made putli,
showing the condition of the treasury
of the money spent thus far out of the
tax levy, the amount left to spend, and
the amount that will be required to
spend before next June. The people
themselves can see what we have TO
show for it.
1t is certain that If as much had
been known Of democratic municipal
management before the last election as
is known now, the people would not
have been so anxious to put democrats
in Office as the election returns would
indicate.

THE TELEPHONE
EXCHANGE QUESTION.

EXCHANGE QUESTION.
Before the city council considers
the sale of a telephone franchise,
which would entail no small amount
Of time and EXPENSE; it should find out
II those protesting to want franchise
are in earnest II they are in earnest,
they should be willing to put up rs .
guarantee a sufficient amount TO cover
the expense, to be forfeited should the
sale of the franchise prove a failure,
or the bids net amount to the actual
cost of the sale, the amounts to be re-
turned to each bidder in event the
franchise is satisfactorily sold. An
other thing the council should decide
is whether it is advisable to sell or
grant any privilege or franchise not
necessary for the comfort or welfare
of the people. that will result in any
new poles and wires being put up in
Paducah, which is already blessed
with a super-abundance that has
long since become burdensome. II
the city council takes steps to protect
the city by requiring a guarantee Of
the expenses of the sale, and decides
that more poles and wires are needed.
rs ornaments to our streets, then
there can be no reasonable objec-
tion to its exercising Its prerogative Of
ordering the sale of franchise, in &C.
cordance with the provisions Of law.
As to the gentlemen who are after
franchises they are presumed to know
their own business. But it is sug-
gested that before they undertake to
establish another telephone system
here, they find out whether the people
who use telephones want another sys-
tenn; whether or not they are dissatis-
fed with present rates and service,
and would give the new company
their patronage. II these gentlemen
are convinced that the people are dis
satisfied, want another telephone sys-
tenn and would give them their patron
age, and want two distinct systems,
each with its patrons, who could not
communicate with each other unless
they happened to be users OF the same
service, they doubtless feel justified
in the expense they would be pot to
in establishing new exchange. There
i s still another thing, however, to be
reckoned with. This is the big
monopoly now doing business in Pa
ducah. Its system is already estab-
lished, its patrons many and as last
resort it could reduce rates to figure
that would cause the new venture to
constantly lose money, and 1T would
become simply a question OF which
had the most to lose, and one would
eventually have to retire from bust
