CHURCH AND SCHOOL NOT INVOLVED.

The sensational report which comes up from Tampa
and which promises to throw light on scandal in
which Rev. Dr. Forbes, Baptist and president of Stet
university is said to fgu re- is of those unor-

name of great school will be dragged through the

The New Woman.
ELIZABETH n. BARR, FLoRAHoME, Fl


Oft and oft we've sat together
Watched the distant swamptires
glow,
Oft we sang some old love ballad
When the earth was white with
Oft and oft the bright spring moon
light
Watched us DER the fallows stroll,
But with every recollection
Comes n pining to my soul.
Chorus
[ am sad and hopeforsaken
And my life is dark and drear,
am weary, weary, weary,
For the sunlight to appear,
But my hearttires still are glowing,
And the hearth is clean and bright,
And good cheer awaits my sweet
heart
Should she wonder back tonight.
On a night in early summer
When the moon lit up the plain,
Aud the old familiar cOw-bells
rinkled softly in the lane,
Sitting in the cottage doorway
With my sweetheart by my side,
Told a tale as old as Adam
Asked of her to be my bride.
Her sweet face she lifted proudly,
THAT can never be, she said,
1T is one thing for to love you
Quite another for to wed,
though it's nice to be a'sparking
BY the moonlight on the lea,
Patching pants and washing dishes
Are not in my line you see."
Now she's working for merchant,
And is getting three day,
Though she works till nearly mid
night
Yet she thinks she makes it pay,
Though it isn't over pleasant
In the stuffy office room,
Yet she thinks she likes it better
Than the wash tub and the broom.

AROUSED PUBLIC OPINION.

The. recent eloquent and convincing speech of
Senator Hoar the subject of trusts, is having
perhaps, more infdS4ce in arousing public thought
on this vital question than any other utterance III
congress elsewhere has had in long time. He
dispassonateiy pointed out the evils that exist and
the dangers that threaten. He sounded a sane war
ming. He made a moving appeal to sense -,>
Many who have heretofore thought little upon
this question have because of that speech, thought
more upon it and more correctly and to the point.
But, after all, the real thing which is slowly but
surely arousing the minds of the people of this
country to the trust question is the practical,
everyday close yfelt operations of the trust meth
DDS. The extorton and injustice put upon the peo-
pie is arOusng them as no words, however wise, and
no warnings however terrible, can do.
Millions of men in this country, who cannot be
reached through their minds. are exceedingly tender
in the region of their pockets. They quickly re-

The trust question is not new, but it is assuming

| A few years ago Senator Hoar would not have
made that speech. The public would not have sus-

him as an agitator and demagogue. But today a
man can tell the truth and receive applause.
