Sing US the Old songs.

Oh! Sing us one of the old songs,
A song of the long ago.
Sing II to us, with feeling soul,
As we sang, in our mothers home.
Oh! Sing us one Of the old songs,
Dear minstrel; don't say no.
We long to hear, that sweet refrain
Or the forty years ago.
Oil Sing us one of the old songs,
Sing us that sweet strain.
Once more let us feel, as then we felt
And be boys and girls again.
Oh! Sing us one of the old songs,
Fill us with long ago.
We then forget, tho many years
And, will not die SO soon.
Grant us, this boon, dear minstrel,
Our age, shall plead with you.
Oh! Sing us one of the old songs
We heard in our mothers home.
Sing it minstrel, wild and deep,
Our hearts are full, we fain would weep.
Fill it with love of men to men,
Well feel we are boys and girls again.
Sing it with soul of faith and vim,
Fill it with love of girls and men
Till We weep with joy, a joy galore,
And sing as we did in the days Of yore.

President Makes Clear His Position in the Controversy Between Miller and Members of Book
 Binders Union.

Oyster Bay, Aug 20.-President Roose- welt, having made applicable to all de- partments of the government service the principle he enunciated at the time he re- instated William A. Miller to .ne position in the government printing once, of which Miller had been dismissed because of disagreement with the book binder s union, tonight authorized the publication of a letter which was sent to each mem Der of his cabinet on July 2. Ane letter is as follows;
 My dear Sir:
 The President directs me to send you herewith for your information copies of two letters sent to Secretary Cortelyou with reference to the government print ing office, which define the attitude of the administration in connection and guidance as they indicate the policy of the Presi- dent in this matter"
 The letters to Secretary CSrtelyou were written July 13 and IA. The salient sen- tence of the first letter was: '"rhere is no objection of the employees of the gov ernment printing office constituting them selves into a union if they so desire but no rule nor resolutions of that union can be permitted to override the laws of the United States which it is my sworn duty to enforce"
 In the letter of July II the President quoted the finding of the anthracite strike commission regarding the employment of labor as follows:
 Tt is adjudged and awarded that no person shall be refused employment or in any way discriminated against on &C., count of membership or non membership in any labor organization and that there shall be no discrimination or interference with any employe who is not member of any labor organization by members of such organization"
 Concerning this principle the President wrote:
 'It is of course mere esmentary de- cency to require that all the government departments shall be handled in accord ance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciated."

Thoughtless Act of Fireman Brings
 Destructive Results.

Sour Lake, Texas. Aug. 2O.-Fire which started through the carelessness of a fireman in the West Davis tract this af- ternoon swept a large portion of the Shoestring District in the oil field, in flicting a loss amounting to probably $5OOOO The fire from the boiler started a lot of waste oil which was lying loose and in an instant the flames were com municated to the forest of derricks which were placed as close together as 1t was possible to get them. A gate valve on one of the gushers was leaking and the oil and gas became ignited. sending a column of oil many feet into the air.
 Every available man went to work and much valuable machinery was saved by being pulled out of the way. The fire has practically burned itself out, and only waste oil is burning tonight. It is being carefully watched. The town was not touched.

BIC LAND DEAL.
Steel Company Makes Important
 Purchase.

New York. Aug. 20.-The deal for the purchase of iron ore land on the Mesaba range. Minnesota. by the United States Steel Corporation. was verified to-day by local officials of the corporation.
 By this purchase the steel corporation takes off the market. the last large sim gle block of ore property in the Mesaba range, which Is for sale. It is stated that the importance of the purchase can not be overrestimated. In all about TO- 100000 tons of excellent quality of ore much of 1t high grade Bessemer. has been measured up on the land acquired, and 1t is estimated that an even larger yield will be obtained. The properties were purchased from the holders of the Chemung Iron Company at Duluth. The lands are mostly leased properties, on a basis of @ cents a ton royalty. which is considered to give the steel corporation an immense addition to it's ore reserves at no undue cost, Some of the deposit measures up to 6S per cent. iron and down to s5 per cent. phosphorus.
