The wild shriekers for woman
suffrage would do we'll to ponder
over the common sense talk Of
Miss Josephine Dashsm at the
dinner of the Pilgrim Mothers, in
Boston last week. 1t appears that
Miss Dasham shocked the strenu-
Gus assemblsge of women when
she said:
"If you cannot in this genera
ton get your vote. you always can
ret your voter. Women have al
ways influenced man, and I don't

I think there is great deal of I'M
necessary twaddle these days about
the increasing strenuousness of
the young girl. I don't think she
has changed 80 much. She has
: no more mind. She may use her
mind little differently, but it's
the same old mind, the same ener-
~ that she uses. There are two
things which women must always
have had since the creation to be
successful, and these two things
are the same in the fsr-off islands
of the Pacific and in the high
school in Massachusetts,. A wo.

The English of Our Sires.

I love the English Of our sires: it gives me
cheer enough
To read its simple, virile words and try to
spell the slough.
I love to view the Lottery maze and wan
der there, although
ever knough.
Ger verbal fields on mountain sides my
weary way plough
And often reach surprising ends, although
scarce know hough.
Yet still the phrase and verbal maze I
journey, journey through,
Although the spelling knocks me out, no
matter what dough.
I love the English of our sires: 1 give it
hearty praise,
Although its spelling must at times the
wanderer amaise.
I do not stand with those who mouth and
rant and groan and shrek
And find no language strong enough their
dire disdain to spiek.
The language that our fathers wrote Is
sweet as bells of sleighs,
And we should give the makers preighs or
give them ninety deighs,
And If we cannot spell with grace there's
yet one comfort, exc,
To write the stuff the way it sounds and
spell 1t as we spoke.
love the English Of our sires make the
statement straight.
And I have loved it since the time I
spelled it on my slaight.
Though some can spell, and some cannot
the artful method seize
Although they wrestle long and hard petit
ton on their kneize,
Yet still bear upon my way my queer
linguistic freight,
And, come the worst or come the best,
still am quite eleight,
For one glad photographic rule I've seized
by slow degrees
IT any word is hard to spell. why, spell it
as you plees.

o Living Sun,

Respondent lyrist of the sky,
True worshiper of thine am 1; :.
And often when the inspired east,
With radiant forehead, sacred priest,
Proclaims thy coming, or the west,
In robes of gold and purple dressed,
Receives thee at his doors q guest,
MY head will bow, my heart will burn
With might; with might thy spirit yearn.
A solemn Joy, blessed fear,
All tides Of heavenly air and cheer,
Through my flooded bosom run
And sing thy claim, o living sun!
Earth and mans nature are thy Tyre,
And when with hand of golden fire
Thou sweepest 1t, o bard divine,
Out leap the grass blades notes Of thine;
The towering trees and clustering groves,
The birds that In them sing their loves;
All flowers that bloom, all buds that
swell,
These tongues that do the story tell
OF natures vernal miracle.
These are thy music, echoing sweet
Where er in all worlds light and heat.
With water, earth and ether meet.
Life is their art. whose mighty span
Reaches from weeds to thinking man:
Bloom Of the rose or maiden's cheek,
Light Of the heavens or eyes that speak.
The sparrows pipe Beethoven's tune.
The evening and mornings rune.
All forms, all beauty, all desire,
Are echoes of thy thrilling Tyre

GRANGE
RAILWAYS A GRANGER"

The True Purposes of the Grange
Should Be Made Known.
A few days ago, in conversation with
the master of grange we had just
organized, says writer in Farm and
Fireside, he said, "Why, I've always
been a granger, but didn't know it,"
That one pointed remark APPLY an
swers the question so often asked by
grange workers-why men and women
whose sympa thies are in line with ours
do not unite with us. This man was
progressive, anxious to secure for his
family and friends the very best ad-
vantages possible, but felt powerless
alone. In the grange he found others
desired the same things he did and dis
covered the chain of sympathy that
binds men together the world over.
"But have explained the objects of
the grange many times" the worker
protests. True. So have I, and often
find myself indulging in stock phrases
and stereotyped expressions that con-
vey but little to my hearers. First
find the ambition Of the one you seek
to convince, and if the grange will aid
him show him so in terms he will ap-
preciate. The hearts Of the best peo-
pie on our farms are with us did they
but know the true meaning of the
grange, and we owe it to them and to
ourselves to secure their allegiance.
There are thousands of excellent men
and women who have Railways been
grangers" who are out of the order be-
cause they have no accurate knowl-
edge of what its true purposes are.

HE story of the fight around the
little farmers depot known as
Thompson's Station, in central
Tennessee, on March 5, 1863,
reads like page in the history
or the Boer WARRIOR instance, Nichol
aBon's Mex or Sannas Post, with De
Wet for the hero. A Federal column
OF 1000 men started out early to head
of and fight the enemy. The enemy
was also out early and after giving
the Federals all the fighting they cared
to stand up against marched them en-
masse to Libby prison.
The Confederate leaders in this bold
:BwOop were not novices in the art of
war, like De Wet and his colleagues.
although Forrest, the real hero Of the
masterly exploit, had come up from
the class of farmer soldiers. Forests
chief in the affair at Thompson's Sta
ton, Earl Van Dorm, was an ex-regular
officer trained at West Point His
daring strategy In the war had already
won him fame. Van Dorm had just

Nineteenth Michigan infantry and the
Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry. marched
from Franklin southwark under in
'sGuctions from the commanding gen.
-eral to go as far as Spring Hill and see
''what is in our front" The country
ahead Of the column was broken by
long swells and ridges fifty to 200 feet
high, and the outlook from any point
did not extend beyond half a mile to
the south. Late in the day the enemy
was met in lively skirmish, the fact
reported back to headquarters and the
column placed in position for night
attack. Early on the 9Th a negro
brought word to Colonel Coburn that
Van Dorm was marching to attack
Franklin and had already passed
Spring Hill to the northward. This
news was also sent back to headquar.
tiers without bringing modification of
SCoburn's orders to 60 to Spring Hill.
There being no enemy in sight at s
o'clock a. M, Coburn sent his cavalry
to scour the country, and the infantry
marched forward. AS the column ad-
vanced it stirred up the skirmishers of
The enemy, who slowly retired and re-
fused battle. At Thompson's Station
the pike leading to Spring Hill and the
railroad pass through gap in a low
range of hills covered with cedars and
having steep bluffs. Just in advance
of the station Coburn's cavalry dis
lodged some Confederate skirmishers,
and it looked for the moment as though
the enemy would not stand for battle.
But Forrest and Van Dorm had their
lines hidden behind those convenient
hills waiting for the foe to walk into
the trap. Van Dorm got word the night
OF the 9TH of Coburn's intended trip to
Spring Hill, and before daylight of the
9th his squadrons and batteries were
posted along the ridge to the right and
left and in the rear of the gap at
Thompson's Station. Coburn ap-
preached cautiously, sending his caval-
~ and guns, with infantry supports, to
the knobs which overlooked the narrow
valley. He intended to establish him
E1elf in the gap and wait for REINFORCE
<ments to cope with Van Dorm. Es.
While the Federals were pushing for

gums opened upon them. Undaunted,

galloped his men around the Federal
left to strike the force defending the
station in the rear. This was the body
Of horsemen which alarmed Coburn.
Forests leading regiment opened rapid
fire with carbines upon Coburn's bat
terry, which was moving to ground in
the rear, and drove it. back toward
Franklin. Two of Forests guns also
opened upon the retreating line.
Meanwhile part Of Coburn's COM
mand changed front and took a posi-
ton behind a stone fence which lay
directly in the path of Forrest. Dis
mounting his men, Forrest charged
twice upon the fence, but the Fed
erals maintained their ground with
firm courage. Finally this force was
overcome, and Forrest pushed on to the
railroad in Coburn's rear, charging up
steep slope stoutly held by Coburn's
Infantry. In this charge Forests line
suffered heavily under the CALLING Fed
eral fire. The last rush carried For
rest, with his escort, up to the Federal
commander, and the fiery southern
fighter demanded surrender at the
point of the pistol. Coburn had Just
learned that his men were without
cartridges, and he told them to fix
bayonets and drive Forrest from the
slope. But Forests men were swarm
ing in all directions and Van Dorm
closing down upon the position, which
was already under fire of his guns, he
having passed beyond the station in
triumphant pursuit. 1t was, for Co.
burn, surrender or a frightful massa-
ere, and he surrendered.
The fight had lasted five hours. For
rest held the road In Coburn's rear.
His troops and those with Van Dorm
were all mounted, and there were no
re-enforcements in sight to save the
day for the Federals. Coburn's men
fought heroically and made the enemy
pay dearly for his success. The Fed
eral loss in killed and wounded was
