IF WERE you.

II were you, whispered to the sun,
I'd throw few more sunbeams on the
grass;
For know you not that ere the day is
done
Ny lady down the meadow lands will
pass?
And seeing that you reign aloft alone.
There are SO many things that you
might do;
Shake myriads of sun means from your
throne,
Or sweep the hazy sky from gray to
blue
If were you. I murmured to the stream
That wound It's twisted way to find the
sea,
I'd leave in every nook tinted dream
That one who passed might stay a
while with me.
Oh, River, Sunlight, Summer. Shadows.
Trees,
There are so many things that would

The LITTLE GHOST

Under the shadow of the wood,
Soft in the dawning flowed the stream.
And shining there the shad-bush stood
A slim ghost dreaming some deep
dream.
Perchance an unknown troop had passed
IN the dark night that way with her.
And where the tide some slow star
glassed,
fingered tin she forgot to stir.
And morning T5und her light foot caught
Fast in the flags along the brink.
While rustIing all her wells she sought
Back to her gIooms TO fade and sink
All day she saw the silver shad
Slide up the stream, and all day long
From reeds and pools q piping glad
Rose round her in q eeaseless song.
Frafl as a fake Of snow, she thrilled
When the blithe bees about her came.
Or when from southern heaven spilled
The bluebird's wing flashed like
fame
And happy people on the bridge,
Smiled at the sweet and airy thing,
And wayfarers along the ridge
Leaned low and said, Behold the
Spring!
But still all day she stood and dreamed
Alone, till, when the moonlight hour
Fell down and mantled her, she seemed
a gimmering. shimmering ghost once
more
The wrath Of all the springs TO be,
The wrath Of all the summers dead,
One day a great wind set her free
The little ghost had walked and fed

Louise.
He stepped around to the front of the
chair across which he had been lean
ing, and during the rendering of the rest
Of the program thought not Of his family
prejudices. nor Of the little store in
Bleecker Street, nor of the two men
behind hfm-his entire attention was en-
chained by the music and her face. She
was sitting so that he could see this as
he looked toward the conductors stand.
He marveIed anew at the lines OF culture
and refinement he found in it, and then
called himself a cad for marYeling.
Why shouldn't Blocker Street be az
refined as Fifth Avenue?" he SAID &c
himself. And then the music ceased and
they two spoke about the beauty IS It,
and he told her something OF the Gem
poser. and she listened with her eyes
fastened steadily on his face in a fashion
that seemed to electrify all his nerves.
AS in dream. he heard Mr.. Preble
say, Won't you join u.s." and sum
moned the waiter, but Penrhyn shook
his head and put up his hand as the
band struck up again. Never before had
beer appeared TO him so incompatible
with music
When the final note Of the last piecs
died away and there was a pulling back
of chairs and q general uprising. Pen
rhyn felt as though he was about to be
reused from some beatidc vision.

now. as though he was not able TO stand
the separation Just yet. They had all
risen and were moving toward the door.
Croker had dropped back and was ask
ing Louise how she had enjoyed the con-

which he could continue in the present

4 BoT-AlR ORDNANCE.

When the South Omaha charter was
before the legislature Of 1901 The Bee
pointed out the ~viciousness Of that
patched quilt document in opening a
way for the promiscuous granting of
franchises by the city council without
restraint and without submitting the
same for ratification by the people. But
the wheels OF the legislature had been
SO we'll fabricated that no attention was
paid to the remonstrance. Ever since
the new charter has been in effect fran
chise brokers have had their eye on
South Omaha and the South Omaha
council has had its eye on the franchise
dealers.
The outgoing council, whose life will
be extinct within three days, held a spe-
cial meeting Friday night, at which an
ordinance was introduced granting a
franchise for ten years to a company
OF promoters to establish, maintain and
operate a plant for the supplying Of heat
and power to public and private build
ings In South Omaha. AS a guaranty
of good faith the parties TO whom the
| franchise is about to be granted are re-
| quired to file a bond for $1,000 to IN
demnify the city against damages.
Inasmuch as the city is not liable to
be damaged by the failure Of the cOm.
pany TO supply It with condensed energy

as thin as the hot air which the pro.

Y TO GET EVEN.

The stunning defeat Of the democratic
city ticket in South Omaha, which gave
Bryan over 900 majority in 1900. has
made the mal-adroit leaders Of that
party very sore. Instead CT accepting
the popular rebuke with as good grace
as possible, they show their exaspera-
ton by trying to get even with the man
to whom they charge up the disaster
that has overtaken their candidates.
This is the inspiration and object of the
attempt to revive the malicious prosecu-
ton which the democratic county at
torney inaugurated during the legisla-
tive session OF 1901 by preparing sixty
odd complaints against Edward Rose
water for alleged violations of the cleo
ton laws in the presidential campaign.
While the common practice has been
to file all such complaints in the county
court, these trumped-up charges were
purposely brought before the police
Judge OF South Omaha with the sole
view OF dragging the defendant away
from home and putting him to as much
trouble and annoyance as possible,
This persecution was so rank that the
district court interviewed with an order
to stop the malicious ~perversiOn of the
machinery of the court. The renewal of
the attack at this time and the repetl-
ton OF the transfer to the South Omaha
police court Of a case that would, II the
charges were well grounded, have to be
tried in Omaha, shows that the animus
of the prosecution is not merely to
crafty personal spite. but also TO wreak
political revenge.
Incidentally the Italian hand Of the
chief engineer of the Mercer contingent
is also visible. Strange as it may seem,
II is nevertheless a fact that the demo.
cratic county attorney, who aspires to
become MERGERS successor in congress.
