The golden wheat stands like wall
A twenty-acre field.
The brawny cradlers-five in all
Bare-breasted, hairy-armed, and tall,
ALLOW that patch must yield"
Their grape vines" Ger their shoulders
swung
With fingers crookt, and broad blades
hung,
; Like falchions backward steeled.
Like sons of Anak in their might,
They whet their shining blades,
Then TO the eharge-a thrilling sight
Leads up the first, swings 10 the right
Left sweep, through cereal glades,
The shorn stems on the fingers laugh,
Fat kernels peep through bursting chat,
On heads gone 10 the shades.
Another, and another sweep
The second man starts in,
So waits the third, in-cutting deep,
Then fourth and fifth at distance keep,
The same, ere they begin;
Now all with mighty rhythmic swing,
Advance, and then their broad hades
ring
And CLEAN like FURNISHED tin.

THE GRADERS.
AN oLp-TInE HARVEST SCENE

Five erescents gap the grain a-near,
As the five blades swing home,
Five golden gavels fall a-rear,
And five line-butted swaths appear,
Lain each inside It's comb
As the five mighty reapers sway,
From side 10 side IN slant array,
Like gulls DER oceans foam.
So, all day long, through rising morn,
And mdday's sblmmerlng heat,
The swish OF severing scythes ~ borne,
Or whetstones chanting 10 the corn,
The death song Of the wheat.
Only the noon-tide dinner call,
Awhile brings truce, and rest 10 all
A lull before defeat.
Hot, round and red, in western sky,
Sinks low the summer sun;
And still the swinging cradles sigh,
While all around the fallen lie
In sheaves, the fight near won;
Then binders all, and Graders join,
And shock the sheaves, and cap, and
groin
The day-the task is done.

CONGRESSMAN COOPER, chairman Of
the committee on insular affairs, in an
interview given to Milwaukee paper
Friday is at some pains to refute the
statement that the Philippines will be

optimistic view of the present situa-
ton in the islands and of their future
prospects:
SIN some quarters, said Mr.. Cooper,

pense to us. This is untrue, for ac-
cording to the report of the Taft com
mission the islands, with their own
revenues, after paying all expenses OF
the insular government and making
considerable appropriations for purely
naval and military purposes and pay
ing for the insular police, 81, 100000 in
gold was appropriated for improve
ments in Manila harbor and another

that our insular possessions will be an
indefinite burden of expense to us. !
think that it can be truthfully asserted
that after the complete restoration of
peace and good order the revenues Of
the islands will be found more than
sufficient to pay all expenses that the
government is put to, including the
expenses of the native and american
troops.
ST believe that the measure in con-
gress which gave the Philippine Is
lands local legislature, as was done
in the house bill, will prove highly
successful in overcoming some Of the
difficulties we now have to contend
with. The senate bill made no pro.

view of the situation and speaks
