Deep In the heart OF the city,
She washes and irons all day:
Her tired old hands are shaky and thin.
And her hair, once yellow, is gray,
She stands near a window to labor,
And every few moments looks out
And murmurs, You're mine," 10 the
small. sickly vine
That's climbing the old water spout.
She waters II well In the twilight,
And tenderly touches the leaves
As they nod i'm the zephyrs that some
times get lost
So far from the grass and the trees,
She knows every tendril It carries.
Each bud is a care, without doubt,
For she loves-with love that Is sent
That vine on the old water spout
She is wrinkled and ragged and tired,
Her children have left her, know,
To fight the battle OF life once again
She fought It for them long ago,
Friendless. alone. uncherished,
Her mother love will not die out,
So she croons an old tune, all the long
To the vine on the old water spout.
It may be the world doesn't need her,
II may be the world doesn't care
For the old lonely soul whose eyes are
so dim
Whose voice is Is thin as her hair
1t may be the world has forgotten
And yet / haven't a doubt
God planted that seed for he saw there
was need
For the vine OF the old water spout!

Pointed Paragraphs.

Love makes a young man sober
and an old man giddy.
Busy men are seldom afflicted
with fits of melancholy.
Wise people respect the man:
fools respect his good clothes.
ANY man who does you al ill
turn will never forgive YOU for it.
When a man runs short in his ac-
counts he is apt to run long in his
travels.
If some types of beauty were
more than skin deep they might
prove fatal tO the posses.,crS
thereof.
Netting seems more cdifying
10 some PEOPLE than TO see a bow

WISE AND THE REPORTER.

Former Congressman John :.
Wise. of Virginia, delivered an
address in New York State last
week before the lituary section of
NasSar College. His theme was
Who Are the ImperialiStsl" and.
as usual, he vented his spleen upon
the Democrats of the South. by
saying, These are the people
who would vote for Bryan. for
Tillman, for ID. b. Hill. or for A
yellow dog with a tin tag on its
tail were he but labeled with
the stamp of the Democratic par
ty."
His addresses was very coolly
received, and at its close. Mr..
Richard +. Connell. reporter for
a Poughkeepsie paper, made an
eloquent and imprisoned defense
of the South. He said:
Il have been proud of the South
a a section of my country. |
knew it had given us great Pres
idents under whose administrations
the Republic took life and strength.
| knew that the South had accep-
ted defeat as no other people on
earth ever did. | know that it
had come back into the Union
out of the desolation of obstruction.
and in less than a generation had
given a General Wheeler and the
first blood of new war for human
freedom under the banner of the
Union. did not suspect this
people of Imperialism until To-
night, and / can hardly suspect
them now. thought imperialists
were the ones who invaded the
South with bayOnets, went behind
election returns, overturned the
will of the people, and committed
the most Goddess political crime
in history, the theft of the Pres
idency of the United States.
had imagined that the imperialists
were those who took up a war for
human rights and pledged a ma
tons faith to the principle that
acquisition of territory would be
criminal aggression, and then pro-
ceeded to turn it into a war of
conquest and subjugation. ]
thought that these were the things
which imperialists had been doing
in all the ages. | thought the i'm
perialiSts were the ones who cor
rupt the suffrage, buy legisla-
lures, and steal legislatures to pro-
cure United States Senatorships.
Have | been dreaming! | knew
it had suffered. 1t is not in closed
books of the past, not in the set
tied questions of long passed wars,
nor yet in the fortunes of any
political party that we shall find
our imperialists and imperialism.
1t is in the very conditions and en-
virOnments of our lives"

The Servant Problem Not New.

Students OF household management
will learn with satisfaction that in 1866
many Of the evils now 10 be complained
or were distinctly recognized. Some OF
the more curious fines which were i'm
posed by a country gentleman upon OF
Tending servants were penny for leav-
Ing door open. missing prayers. leav-
Ing beds unmade after s presumably
a. M. and cooks could only have fc'-
lowers at the rate of penny fine for
each one. A curious custom seems TO
have then existed that entree to the
house was denied during the family
meals. and as the fine FOR allowing a
breach OF this custom was heavy II may
be presumed that the sin was esteemed
great.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

One of the most important gath
erings of the year in St. Louis will

Fifty thousand invitations have

They make transportation easier

The Republican New York Sun
very aptly says that THE habit of
rafting through private pension
bills without inquiring into them
Is growing on Congress, and that
the chairman of the Committee of
the Whole and the strenuous clerk
will need corps of assistants on
the second and fourth Fridays of
the month if the present ratio is
maintained. In three years the
number of private pension bills
passed has increased from 300 to
Lila. Is it not likely to be 1000
in 1906 and 10000 in 1909. and so
on!"
