THE LESSON OF THE LEAVES.

The autumn lay in glory on the slopin' OF
the hills
All 50 faney-red an yellow. gold an
brown
As if d mighty ovenin' tide was settIfr'
v'er The Ills,
Ar the sun a-shoddln' lights a-goin'
down.
Oh, the rustlin' Of them leaves
AS they fell from off the trees,
A-danein' an a prancin' to the music of
the breeze;
An our hearts a-keepin' time
To the laughin' of the rhyme
A-listenin' TO the rustlin' of them leaves.
With the glory round she whispered to me
sayin' L was dear,
An talked gentle-like IN pretty-like
an true,
Bout our love bein' all bright colors like
the mountains strctchin' near,
With the grace of God a-touchin' every
hue.
Oh, the rustlin' of them leaves
AS we walked among the trees,
A-blowin' an tip-toein' to the singin' Of
the breeze;
And we two fondly dreamin'
OF the days so sweet-like seemin'-
A-listenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
An while the autumn on the hills was
yet a-lookin grand,
An time so happy passin' quick along,
A shadow sudden 'peared to come an
cover all the land,
An fallin' on my heart put out its song.
Oh, the rustlin' of them leaves
AS I prayed beneath the trees,
Begged the angels send Il hope ~a-soundin'
on the breeze;
AS DER my darlin' bendin'
I fought the death impendin'-
A-listenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.
But when the day was CROWN dim she
said, low-like to me:
Tn goin', love, long with the sunset
tide;
A-crossin' of the Bar-its shimmerin's I
see ..
A n the mornin' light upon the other
side"
Oh, the rustlin' of them leaves,
'Bove the graves beneath the trees,
Like w%hisperin's of a blessin' from a
spirit in the breeze;
While from DER the evenin' hill
Come the echo-"Peace, be still!'-
A-listenin' to the rustlin' of them leaves.

TARIFF INJUSTICE.
RGbs the Poor for the 3enefit of the
Rich-Aeed OF Honest Nd
n.i~nistration.

If the federal customs duties col
iect3d at the ports of entry were the
only taxes on the goods the people
consume, and the government need
ed the $245, 444, 70S collected in 1902,
the largest sum ever before received,
it would still be a great burden. But
the receipts from all sources in this
year exceeded the expenditures by
$91, 2S7 ,375,57, and will probably be
$50, 0O0, 900 for the present year. The
cash balance now in the treasury is
$225, 179, 705, SO there is no present
reason to continue this excessive tax
alton, through high tariff, for it IS
criminal to tax the public more than
the needs of the government demand,
especially when this surplus is loaned
to favored banks without any return
in interest, or otherwise. The Wall
street bankers to whom a great por-
lion Of this surplus is loaned and the
other banks that are similarly favored
throughout the country loan this
money to their customers at the going
rate OF interest, SO that the taxpayers
OF the country are furnishing the
capital to the banks and paying the
interest that the banks demand on it..
or if they are not borrowing, but have
money Of their own to loan. they fur
nish the money free to the banks to
compete it'll their W capital. This
tax collected through the custom
houses is only a small part OF the tax
that the Dingles tariff imposes. Ind
rectly there is a much greater impost
demanded by the monopclists. corn-
bines and trusts that were called into
council by the republican leaders when
the Dingley bill was being secretly
incubated at the Arlington hotel in the
city OF Washington. d. c., in 1897. No
democratic members OF the ways and
means committee were permitted to
join III the creation Of the Dingley bill,
and Senator Dullivor, in a speech in
the senate which is reported in the
Congressional Record, acknowledged
that the tariff rate was purposeDt
placed much higher than was neces-
sary to allow a margin for reduction
under the treaties for reciprodcity with
other countries, that the bill also pro-
vided for, but which have never been
ratified. AS Senator Dosliver was, Ut
the time the Dingley bill was created,
a member of the ways and means com
mittee, this inside history Of the enor-
nifty Of that bill is therefore at first
hand, by a republican who was pres
ent at its preparation.

The deer in the upper peninsula are
increasing at a great rate every year,
Notwithstanding the immense number.
OF hunters who spend part or the whole
OF the open season there. One reason
advanced for this increase is the great
falling off in the, number Of lumber
camps as the timber has been cut
away. Formerly the men in these
camps practically lived on yenison all
winter, in and out Of the season, and
thousands Of deer were killed each
year TO supply their wants. The camps
being fewer now, the slaughter hns
been greatly cprtailed.

he came to himself some time later
the train was still buzzing and rocking

His throat was still intact, but his
