AMONG THE ALPS.
One of the Finest Panoramic Views Is in the Very Heart of
 Switzerland.


 The city of Lucerne, on the north- west arm of the lake, is one of the largest and most important cities of Switzerland. Southwest of the city rises the gigantic peak of Pilatus, from whose summit is secured one of the finest panoramic views of the Alps, for the lake of Lucerne isin the very heart of Switzerland, writes Guy Morrison Walker, in Four-Track News. From most other points the views are in one or two directions, but from the peaks around the Waldstatter sea the wild Alpine summits rise round you in every direction.
 East of Lucerne, across the lake, stands the rival peak of Rigi,s from whose summit can be obtained view rivaling even that from Pilatus, since 1t commands a better view of Lake Lu- cerne itself, and also magnificent view of the Lake of Zug, to the north and west. At the foot of Rigi, at the head of the north arm of the lake, nestles the valley of Kussnacht, where the tyrant Gesler built his famous castle called "Uri'sA AMenace,". which was de- stroyed after the Swiss had overthrown the power of Austria in the fourteenth century.

 The preliminary political battle to determine who will be the democratic standard bearer in the coming city election ended last night in a grand victory for Attorney James M. Lynch. It was a victory sure and certain. It didn't hinge on few votes in one or two wards, for the candidate carried four of the i've in most decisive man. ner. Many reasons will be advanced and are being put forward already why Attorney Thoms was showed under. The simple reason in a nutshell is that he had a popular man against him. Mir Lynch has been resident of Wa terbury since boyhood, and not blem- ish is on his character, and not a whisper can be heard against him. An honest, conscientious citizen, with no strings or alliances to bind him, the people see in him a man whom they can trust and one in whom no doubt they have implicit confidence. The Democrat congratulates Mir Lynch on his victory, and as we said on a former occasion, If the people of Waterbury place him in the mayors office he will give the city one of the best admins trations 1t has ever had.

There is considerable criticism here, says our Washington correspondent among democrats who visi&the nation al capital anent the methods being used by nan who has long been prominent in democratic circles in one of the big eastern states. and who has posed as one of it's bosses, inehis war fare on a most distinguished democrat of his own state. Those methods are considered to be- nothing less than baseless caiumny and vicious islander. It is predicted bhat not only will such methods fail of their purpose, which Is to kill off the further mention of the name of this most distinguished dem. ocrat for the democratic presidential nomination, but that the so-called democratic boss will soon find that he has some one with whom to deal who is his master. and that he will hea. something drop that will not have a very pleasing sound to his ears.

HEARD IN PASSING

The teacher who permits boys and girls to do as they please is training up a lot of hoodlums and rowdies. If she teaches them that obedience to law and authority Is fundamental in our society and that good behavior is es- sential to usefulness and good order, without resort to the rod or other means from without" sheeis training up children who will be animated by instincts of decency and manltness in- stead of fear.--New Haven Leader.
 The man who cultivates only cer- tain "set," and who even carries this so far as to ride to and from his busi- ness affairs accompanied by members of that particular circle, Is bound to feel the narrowing influence of such a course. The brief comradeship of the street car or the day coach is one of the leavening influences of American democracy. The age of the private suburban coach and the private street car will not be welcomed.-Denver Republican. @a't
 You could give number of children a good bowl of oatmeal and milk at a penny a head. This means for 300 days 91 5s per head, say for 100000 children for every week day in the year, G25O,o00. The war in South Af- rica cost about a25o,000,ooo. Taking money at 3 per cent this is equivalent to 27,500,000 per annum. And yet probably the advantage to the race of giving a substantial meal to 100000 children every day that they attend school would be worth good deal more than any benefit to accrue to us from the South African war.-London Truth

HE WAS MISTAKEN.
Tale of the Young Woman Who Was Ordering Music Over the

The manager of one of Washington ss large department stores was at his desk, deep In thoughtover some intricate busi- ness problem of the day, says the Star.
 Not far away stood the young woman who has charge of the sheet music de- partment, carrying on an animated con- versation over the phone.
 When the manager came out of his reverie his attention was arrested by scraps of conversation from the small hox-like arrangement that holds the telephone.
 ssI love you, dear, and only you I'm wearing my heart away-can't live on lowell never was hurt until then. I've longing insmy heart for you, and maybe when the harvest days are over I'll think of you--dreamy eyes-just kiss me good -bye-yes, 8 dream of the gold en past-good- bye. forever
 Before he had recovered from his as. tonishmerlt and wonder the young wo man hung up the receiver and stepped out of the telephone box

This would seem to beathe logical develop ment Of this new system of travelling. and the only opposition to it that would amountsto anything would prob ably come from the railroads with whose business 1t might be supposed to interfere. But the railroads are al- ready changing interviews on the sub- ject. They now regard the trolley rather as feeder than 8 rival It brings them patrons for distance travel. while relieving them from much of the local patronage which interferes so seriously with their train move mentss in the vicinity of large cities.

Brickmalxing in Cathedral Town.
 Peterborough makes enough bricks in the course of a year to put a girdle four times round the earth. It is estimated that the busy brickmaking yards, which have grown up in great number round the ancient city In the last 20 years, turn out 800. 100000 bricks annually. As the length of brick is about eight inches, then, if Peterborough's annual output were laid out in single line it would stretch over 100000 miles The brick industry has revolutionizedJt Jthe trade of Peterborough.

Old Omar Knayyam. with thy fine Appreciation of the vine, Thy languorous luxurdance Of phrases praising poppied wine. Old Omar, not a nne | missed Of all the pages where you blissed. Forgetting deep in .bloodsof grapes, Where your lips and the goblet's
 kissed.
 Old Omar of the long ago, Why do the hearts of fnoderns glow At all your gtanzas trippingly? Because they, too. old Omar. know. The probing of the mystery, The longing for what may snot be, The mad desire to drown it all, Are still the parts of "Me and Thee" How many centuries have sped Across thy silent bones and deadl How many years the world will Last, As thou, tiny prophet self, hath said! Yet still with words men yainly try To fashion cTeeds to raise EhenDsby. Out of much words they come and

 Old Omar, sitting on the shore Or Evermore and Evermore, The she'll thine ear attends is small; It only lisps the oceans roar. Old Omar. skipping pebbles out Upon a sea of dread and doubt, They come not back. but sink beneath And scatter rings of thought about. That widen. widen coward the sand Where thou so eagerly dogt stand, Awaiting some word from beyond, Then break within thy grasping hand. Because thy music pleaseth me, would fhat thy philosophy We're more of something sounder than This mournful muse of Me and
 Thee.''

Thy quatrains, like the bubble bright, S1uN~l Sl11 tuG AuGS HIlu IlllUS OI u&IlA Yet there is naught at all within, A breath and they are vanished quite. Old Omar, dost thou hold 1t small That thou and I should be at all? And life is something, even though Of change and death hhat life Is thrall. Thou singest: Let us dance and live, What does the future hold or give? To trust our hopes to the beyond, Is throwing water in sieve. Thou holdest best the song and dance The goblet and the amn'rous glance Thou art a gamester. yet hhou wilt Not stake thine all upon chance. And lest thou lose thou wilt not try Thy fortunes on a bye-a1d bye, That, being cheated here and there, Thou find no payment in the sky. Old Omar. what to thee or me, If heaven is, if not it be?
 Seems it not wiser to live on, As though we heard its minstrelsy? We're it not well a stronger part To play with all thy throbbing heart, To give thy highest and thy best. If not for heaven. at least for art? And if the gift of faith were thine, Wouldst thou be faithful for thy wine Of heavily vintage, or because Thou heldst myself as some divine? Then, when our feet had idly prest The grass-grown grave where thou art
 guest,
 This had been epitaph enough: "He lived and worked, and for the
 rest
 If heav'n there be, in heay'n indeed, He dwells secure, his spirit freed, If there be none. he deth here. To prove that men of heav'n have

even though it appears that he
can purchase fifteen acres of
that soil with the. price of one

not worth the money, they

Present indications point to
the defeat of the striking en-
ployes of the Minneapolis mills.
'rhe mills are all in operation
and will soon bePfunning at
full capacity, and the strikers
will find themselves without
employment, with a long cold
winter ahead of them. The
defeat of the strikers. which
now seems inevitable, shows
what a powerful factor public
sentiment is in shaping the
outcome of a contest of this
kind. From the very first the
public ognizedt the demands
of the employees as unjust and
the subsequent airing of both
sides to the controversy has
only served to confirm this be-
lief. AS a result the mill
owners have experienced
comparatively little difficulty
in securing new men to take
the, places Of the old, and public
sentiment makes it possible for
the new men to continue work
without interference. Under
these conditions no strike can
succeed. The unfortunate
feature of a strike of this kind
is that many of the older en-
ployes were opposed to the
strike but we were forced out
against their will by the young
er ho.-heads who have no one
depending upon them for sup
port. Wheaton Gazette Report
