There was cook named Belle,
Who made hot biscuit to sell.
She used Good Luck powder
And folks did SO crowd her
That she made fortune as well.
She's now got money to burn
With no more shekels to earn;
Her stove she presented
To friend who frequented
Her restaurant to learn.
She used to rise at seven,
But snoozes now till eleven;
A belle to be sure,

And all on account OF the leavc11

The Burial of Moses

(By Mrs. Alexander.)
By Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave.
And no man knows the sepulchre
And no man saw 1t e'er,
For the sons of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead IMAM there.
That wa. the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth;
But no man heard the trampling,
Or saw the train go forth;
koiselessly as the daylight
Comes back when night is done,
And the crimson streak on oceans cheek
Grows into the great red sun.
Noiselessly as the springtime
Her crown Of verdure weaves.
And all the trees on all the hills
Open their thousand leaves;
SO without sound Of music,
Or voice Of them that wept.
Silently down from the mountains crown.
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On grey Beth-Peors height,
Out Of his lonely eyrie,
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion stalking
Still chunx that hallowed spot
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muf1ed drums,
Follow his funeral car;
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the MODEST of the land
We lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place,
With costly marble drest;
In the great minister's transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings. and the or
Along the emblazoned wall.
This was the truest warrior
That ever buckled sword;
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed word:
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen,
On the deathless page, truths half SO
sage,
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he mot high honor?
The hillside for pail,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock pines, like tossing
plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And Gods own hand. in that lonely land.
To lay him in his grave?
In that strange grave, without name,
Whence his uncoff1ned clay
Shall break again-O. wondrous thought!
Before the Judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapt around,
On the hills he never trod.
And speak of the strife that won our life,
With the Incarnate Son Of God.
O, lonely grave in Moabs land!
O. dark Beth-Peor's hill!
Speak to these curious hearts Of ours.
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries Of grace,
WAYS that we cannot tell;
He hides them deep. like the hidden
sleep,
OF him He loved 80 well.

the Lawn PARTY IN POLITICS.

One OF the features Of the present
campaign Is the political lawn party.
Hon. William Lorimer Is responsible
for this particular stunt, and he de-
serves credit for 1t from more points
Of view than one.
In the first place, 1t Is original, and
very pleasant innovation upon the
old-tlme political methods.
In the second place, ii is calculated
to interest in politics and political cam.
paigns the best class Of citizens, a class
which has always hitherto held aloof
from active political work.
In the third place, II Is bound to clear
up n great mist Of Misrepresentation
and misunderstanding which has hith-
erto enyeloped very worthy and very
estimable lot Of gentlemen, namely,
the Republican leaders Of that party's
organization commonly known as THE
machine"
There are, as everybody knows, many
hundreds Of bright, intelligent and hon
orable citizens Of Chicago, who on ac.
count OF villainous and persistent mis-
representation and villificatiOn believe
that most, II not all, OF these men wear

archdiocese Of Chicago suffered great
loss In the death Of Its illustriOus and
venerable head-ArchbishOp Patrick A.
Feehan. Nothing could be added to the
words Of praise and commentator of
the life, character and career Of this
sanity prelate, which since his death
have been uttered upon all sides.
through the press and otherwise. The
Eagle desires here to simply add It's
word Of tribute to the memory of this
noble man, sanity bishop and true
priest Of God, whose loss In this arch
diocese will be felt more and more as
time goes on.
Archbishop Feehan was loyal son
Of Ireland, and his name and fame
have shed lnster on the land OF his
birth. His end was peaceful, calm and
serene as bis life had ever been. May
he rest In peace.

In its last issue. however. the Eagle
was enabled to furnish the most con-
vincing argument through figures sup
piled by the Census Department at
Washington.
Anybody who takes the trouble to
read and study those figures must be
convinced of the public utility and be-
neficence of this industry. These fig
ures show that the packing houses
throught the country employ the
enormous army of nearly $4,000 wage
carners. $4,000 of these being In the
employ of the Chicago firms. This
would represent about half a million
souls directly dependent upon the pack
ing houses for their support. but
these figures only represent those d.
rectly employed by these great con.
Germs. When we think of the armies
of ranchmen. cattlemen. cowboys. of
manufacturers and producers of vari.

and enterprise depend Indirectly and
grow out of the packing industry one
can easily comprehend how the figures
mount into the millions. AS to the
amount of money they put into circula-

computed by the tens of millions.
And yet this Is the useful and mag.

cuse for its existence. Mrs. Florence

aid of the school teachers organiza-

ing so Mrs. Kelley says:

III such great body as the school

proper sanitary conditions the sweat

much more easily remedled.
"School teachers who live In little
communities may do their share to-
ward eliminating sweat shop evils In
large cities by asking the merchants
to purchase part Of their goods that
are manufactured along sanitary prin.
ciples."
Here now Is n chance for the school
teachers to do something really useful,
namely to take Mrs. Kelley's sound
advice by starting In to reform them.

REDiE6kE'8 SAD FATE.

cerely regrets the misfortune which 1t

Mr.. Redieske has, It Ia announced.
fallen victim to some form Of dementia,
necessitating his restraint under super.
vision Of the County Court.
Mr.. Redieske's case IL a peculiarly
sad one and deserves the sympathy OF
all humane persons.
The misfortune Of Mr.. Redieske In
traced by his friends back to the T.. =.
Dreyer bank failure, and adds one
more to the list Of tragedies growing
out Of that crash.
Mr.. Redieske has not held public Of.

slOners, when he was succeeded by Mr..
Warder as superintendent Of the park.
He held that position during the later
years Of the Tanner administration.
The first public position Mr.. Redies.
Ike held was an elective One-North
Town Collector. Previous to that he
had been engaged with his father In
the plumbing business ut 30 Clybourn
avenue, an enterprise that IL still con-
Quoted at that place.
As Collector for the North Town he
had $4,000 on deposit In the Dreyer
bank when that institution closed its
doors In December, 1896. The crash
was so complete that he recovered none
of that money.
The amount was made good to the
town funds by Mr.. Redieske himself,
but In doing so he had to sacrifice all
his property, including his residence.
That his friends say, was the begin
ming of his broken health. Since then he
has been unable to recover his fortune
During the last year, since leaving
the service OF Lincoln Park, he has
made his headquarters at the office In
ClybOurn avenue.
Detective Sergeant Mcdonald OF the
Central station found him wandering
about the downtown districts In a de-
mented condition and took him in
charge. His friends We're notified and
1t was decided to place him over night
In the East Chicago avenue station,
pending action by Judge Carter.
1t Is to be hoped that Mr.. Redieske's
ailment Is not OF a hopeless character
and may yield to careful and scientific
treatment.
