Justice.

However inexplicable may seem
Event and circumstance upon this earth,
Though favors fan on those whom none esteem,
And insult and indifference greet worth;
Though poverty repays the life of toll,
And riches spring where idle feet have trod.
And storms lay waste the patiently titled soil
Yet Justice sways the universe OF God
As undisturbed the stately stars remain
Beyond the glare of days obscuring light.
So Justice dwells. though mortal eyes in vain
Seek II persstently by reasons sight
Pint when. once freed, the illumined soul looks
out. -
cts CRY win be. 20 God. how could doubt?"

THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.

Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed deep
burrows on her cheek-but is she
not sweet and beautiful nowp The
lips which have kissed many a hot
tear from the childish cheek are the
sweetest lips in all the world.
The eye is dim, yet it CLOVIS with
the rapt radiance of holy love
which can never fade.
Oh, yes, she is a dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run
out, but feeble as she is they will
go further and reach down lower for
you than any other or earth.
You cannot walk into midnight
where she cannot see you; you can
not enter prison whose bars shall
keep her out; you can never mount
a scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love.
when the world shall despise and
forsake you-when it leaves you by
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you up
in her feeble arms. carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues until
you almost forget tina, your soul is
disfgured by vices.
Love her ,enderly, aud cheer her
declining years with holy devotion.

THE COST OF LIVING.

While the Republican are shout.
ing prosperity and telling what
grand things the tariff has done for
the laboring man there comes dis
cordant note from Massachusetts.
The Bureau of Statistics of that
state was not willing to subserve the
Republican Campaign Bureau at the
expense of Truth as a branch OF the
Census Office has done, and its sta
tistics show actual conditions in
stead Of faxed figures. In reviewing
the report of that body, the Chicago
Tribune says:
'The bureau finds that the cost of
living in 1900 has increased as CON.
pared with 1897. There has been an
increase OF mo per cent. in the
prices of food, Of 70 OF per cent in
the prices Of dry goods and boots,
OF 57.43 per cent in rents, and OF
8.78 per cent in the price Of fuel.
As a consequence, absolutely neces.
sary items OF food, clothing, rent,
and fuel which cost now s687.84
would have been purchasable in
1897 for $3.50. 90"
Commenting on the review the
Tribune adds: "Thc Massachusetts
workingman is not so we'll off from
the point ef view Of the cost Of
living as he was in 1907" When
II is remembered that the Tribune
is a staunch Republican paper, taat
statement comes as a confession.
The Dingley tariff was not in effect
IN 1897. The rise in the cost Of
living is the outgrowth Of that tariff.
II has proven the statement Of the
Democrats that the tariff raises the
prices Of protected articles and that
the manufacturer gets the benefit of
the tariff, while the only benefit the
laboring man gets out of that tariff
is the privilege Of paying s6S3.84
today for the years living that cost
him only $3.50. 30 in 1897. That is
a privilege and benefit that very
few laboring men desire 70 have
long continued.

counter with a drunken man at the
Labor Day picnic at Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan and two friends we're
coming out OF the park when they
saw two men fighting. The larger

pocket. Mr.. Bryan grasped him
by one wrist, the other man qrasped
his other arm The stranger was
at least six feet tall and brawny and
had just enough liquor in him 70

the struggle that followed he was a
tough proposition Mr.. Bryan has
not shaken hands for nothing the
past SIX years lie had a grip tina,
would not loosen and he clung to
the mans wrist until he had him
overpOwered The stranger was
finally elected from the park and
the man who bad been whipped
also escaped.

accidentally discovered remedy.
One night, when engaged in writing
an article, his eyes gave out before
he 'could finish and he was com
PEELED to stop. So, turning from
his unfinished manuscript, his eyes
fell upon some scraps Of colored
silk that his wife had been using for
patchwork. These gay colors had
a peculiar attraction for his .wearied
optics. On resuming his work
after gazing at them for several
minutes he found them quite fresh
After several experiments he sur

C der ha,i worn off by seven
O'Clock in the evening. and the
deacon looked at himself in the
glass and shed tears, but everybody
insisted on misunderstanding him.
Deacon Jones, who had known him
for IS years and never heard of his
harming a grasshopper, looked at
that head, and noted the pose of it
and said:
deacon Brady, you are a wolf
in sleeps clothing. never saw
but one picture of prize6ght, but
you can't deceive me. You are a
slugger and have been lying low on
us all these years"
A tin peddler was stopping at the
hotel over night, and, hearing the
postoffice crowd talking of the
event, he Clipped in with:
"I'se done little scrapping my
self in my day, and you can't fool
me on a pug. You can't judge by
the hair cut alone. If you boys
will go up and get the deacon out.
doors, III soon find out whether he
can put up his dukes or not"
Three or four of the crowd called
at the deacon's and got him out to
the gate, and the peddler came
along and gave him the "yah."
Every man commended that the
good man instinctively squared off
for a row, and the peddler backed
water and solemnly said:
''Don't any of you boys try any
monkey work on that old codger.
He's ace high and all there, and if he
breaks loose you'll need an addition
to your cemetery"
There was some talk of calling a
public meeting at the town hall, but
the idea was abandoned for fear of
exciting the deacon. He didn't
want to give up Thursday night
prayer meetings, but he had to, and
another brother took his place IN
passing the contribution box on
Sundays. That fighting hair cut
worked him out of his Job, and no
matter how much he complained
his head was there as an offset. The
minister was about the only man
who stuck by the deacon. He had
never seen a scrapper either in pic
ture or in the flesh, and all heads
were alike to him. Even when It
was pointed out to him that the
deacon had one shoulder hunched
up and his chin stuck out he con-
tended that it might be only the
natural pose of good man-one
who had helped to send 10, 900
bibles 10 the heathens in Africa.
Deacon Bradly's hair would have
grown out again in time, but the
people wouldn't give him time.
They continued to misjudge him
and keep his heart on the ache, and
this brought about the end. One
day, six weeks after the malign work
of the barber, the deacon was sitting
on his veranda and singing a hymn
In a sad voice when the town bully OF
Dobbs ferry came along and offered
to fight him four rounds for the
championship. The good man re.
fused with tears running down his
cheeks, but the bully began dancing
around and shooting out his right
and left, and after minute the
deacon sat down and gasped once
or twice and was no more. That
hair cut and public criticism had
broken his heart.

A MEAN TRICK.
A dastardly mean trick has recently
been perpetrated on our church sexton,
George McCan, whereby he filled the
lamps in the church parlors with wa
ter instead of Oil and the trick was not
discovered till Thursday evening Of
last week, when he attempted to raise
the wicks in the lamps and found the
contents of bowls frozen. Upon ex-
aiming his oil cans he found them in
like condition., the cans having been
left about one-half full. Mr. McCan's
hands and mind were kept busy the
latter part of the week in thawing out
the utensils, soldering the cans, pro-
curing more oil and wicks and getting
the Illuminating part Of the church
into working order again for Sunday
evening service. 1t will be dangerous
for any one to be seen sneaking around
his oil closet for some months to come.

MR. ROCKWELL DESERVES HIGH COM
MENDTION.
Edwin! Rockwell of Plumtrees
averted an accident on the Shepaug
railroad at the crossing near his home,
a few days ago. A team belonging to
P. Mcdonald was drawing wood from
Stony Hill. The horses became fright
ened and ran down the hill. The wag-
on was caught in the track, throwing
the horses and dumping the wood out
on the track. One of the horses lay
across the track and the other was un-
der the wagon. Mr. Rockwell saw the
accident and called to one of his neigh
bors to clear the track. Seeing it
was impossible to do so before the
freight train was due, he ran to the
house and secured lantern and going
up the track and signaled the train
just in time to stop it. The trainmen,
with Mr. Rockwell's assistance, soon
cleared the track and the train went
on its way. The team was badly brok-
en- up. One horse was killed and the
other was bruised. The driver Of the
team has not been seen since the acct
dent.
A few evenings since, two men pass
ing along the highway in Wolfpits were
overheard planning the burning of a
neighbours barns. Now this is seri-
GUS thing to do, and the parties who
overheard them laying their plans
warn them to Ego Slow" as they are

it might be even worse to them as the
