DOWN BY ROTHER RIVER.

BY EDWARD WRIGHT.
Down by Rother River, how the plOvers dip and
cry,
Whirrng from the tussocks when shepherd
wanders by,
Down by Rotber River as it winds along TO Rye.
Like a slow and drowsy snake the brimmng
waters creep
In among the grassy flats, below n wooded steep
Down by Rother River where long since tended
sheep.
Young l was and lonesome, but when lambng
time done
Pleasant the life led from rise to set OF sum-
Thinking of the sweetest maid that lad had ever
Won.
When my flock was folded I would loiter by the
Till her work was over and we'd rambIe arm
Down by Rother River where the MINDLESS air
warm.
When my sheep had gone astrsly one dark and
snowy night,
All alone she came to seek me with a lanterns
light,
Down by Rother River where she slipped and
sank from sight.
Lonesome, lonesome now live, and lonesome
would die.
Far away from Newenden. and all the fields
that lie
Down by Rother River as it winds along to Rye,

And upward sprnging thought that scars above

That plays upon all passions with wide sCOpei
Men call thee Nike yet they can but grope
To learn thy secret, and although they strove
Forever, onward thou wOuldst always move,
A nameless beauty from some far off slope
OF sunny Greece; thou holdst in thee ali charm
OF strong and tender flowers and the flight
OF birds that answer happy springs alarm;
OF river waters, plun9ng from a height
And ripping DER the sand in gurglng calm:
OF shadows deep, and brilliant changing light.

A Death Benefit Association.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In Barry
County, Michigan, there is an association
called the Barry County Soldiers and
Sailors Death Benefit Association. All
soldiers, sailors, their wives, widows and
children are eligible to membership. Upon
the death of member his beneficiary i'm
mediately receives $50 for funeral ex-
penses. To become a member one pays
30 cents and the same amount whenever
notified that member has died, unless
there is certain amount in the Treasury,
when no assessment is made.
While the association has been in ex-
lstence only about one year, it numbers
800 members, and large sum of money
has already been paid out in benefits with
but small expense to the members.
A like association could be easily Or
ganized in any County and would be of
great benefit to the old soldier. DIR. E. H.

Texas is whopper. She's peach
She's the broadcast and the longest country
on earth, extending from west to east and
also from north to south. She could put
Rhode Island in her vest pocket. She
could swallow three or four States like
Maryland and Vermont and wash 'em

having the collie. Texas is the Empire

beach. She's the cock of the walk and
the democrat of the world. She's wolf,
and it's her day to howl.
Texas is bounded on the east by the ALI
gators of Louisiana and the huckeberry
Tickets of Arkansas. She is bounded on
the north by the tomahawK and warwhoop
of the red men. She is bounded on the
west by the chill con carne of New Mexico

is bounded on the south by the Cuff of

outh church on 1.-THE New Man. ssSs This
distinguished club woman and marvellous
orator win be introduced by Mrs. E. MI
La Penotiere, president of the Minne-
sofa Federation of Women's Clubs: I
DR.. Shaw made her first appearance in
the national work for the advancement
Of Womens interests at an international
congress Of women representing most of
the civilized nations Of the world and
most Of the important organizations Of
women. 1t. was suggested and arranged
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Miss An
thony to comm emOrate the first ''Wornan's s
rights convention at Seneca Falls, but
1t was broad in it's scope and included
many not interested in nor specially in
sympathy with womens enfranchisement,
although all concerned appreciated the up
lift given to all women's movements by
the work of Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony
and their coadjutors during the first forty
years of the movement. DR.. Shaw preached
at this congress a sermon pronounced by
Miss Anthony to be 'matchless," and
from this began the friendships between
these two brainy women that has made
them close associates and fellow workers
much of the time since.
Although DR.. Shaw began her public
work in behalf Of women's interests late
enough to escape the obloquy heaped upon
the pioneers, she has not escaped many
discouraging situations and hard work.
With Miss Anthony she campaigned in
Kansas and South Dakota when these
were decidedly wild and woolly states,
and the work was fraught with a good
many hardships and rebuffs.
1t was in one of these campaigns that
the dilly dallying methods of one of the
political parties provoked one Of DR..
Shaw's clever shots. The women were
deeply interested in securing the mdorse
ment of the party for their measure, but
action was in doubt. The com1nitte on
platform was in session and meanwhile
the convention was waiting and killing
time. The leading politicians in the au-
dience were called out to make speeches,
and, although the womans measure was
the burning question, not a man could
be induced to utter a syllable on the sub
ject in advance of the reading Of the
platform.
Finally the wait had become so long
that there was demand for DR.. Shaw
to ltven up the crowd. Stepping forward,
she began: II am not, like my prede-
