THE OLD WOMAN UNDER THE HILL.

Jolly old woman lives under. the hill >sez w.
Hoity toi-tee! What busy old dame! a. z p s.
Daylight or dark it is always the same r..
She's knitting away to the cack Of the mill; -~
And her needles flash in and her needles flash out,
And her ball rolls around and her needles flash out,
Working away with royal good will;
Knitting sock for the foot OF the hill! -....
The heel and the toe,
With the sweetest and prettiest ..
Posies that grow; ~.-
And in winter the whole =
Is of feeciest
And her needles that frolie
And flicker and shine, ..r
Are the needles that drop
From the boughs Of the pine. --
This clever old down under the hill
Fiddle deedee! What busy old thing!
Summer and winter, and autumn and spring,
When the nighttime is Wild when the daytime is STILL
She 8 grooming and working with music and might
In sunshine and shadow and misty moonlig ht-
Piecing, and quilting, by hook and by crook,
A spread for the bed OF the bothersome brook
In autumn her pieces
OF yellow and red
Are petals Of posies,
And forest leaves dead
And the sycamore balls
Are the knots in her thread;
And the cotton she uses
To fashion and wad
Her quilt, is the down
From the wood-thistle's pod!
ThlS tunny Ola woman 0oWn unueI tue

A buxom and busting and busy old dame,
Keeps knitting and quilting her fate to fulfill,
And whenever she's resting-'tis really absurd
In connection with her but to mention the word
She is stitching away at the coat Of the earth,
Repairing that garment Of wonderful girth
That coat is marvellous

always been conducted with excsp-
tional ability and fairness, but bolt
ed Bryan in 1895, and did not change
its position in 1900, discusses Mr..
Bryan and the reorganizers' in a
manner that suggests q somewhat
perplexing question. The most re
grettable fact or phase Of the Par
ker movement is that the Albany
platform has given the peerless but
discarded leader wide open oppor-
tunity to mix some ugly truths with
other utterances in his speeches and
writings. Needless to say that Mr..
Bryan has embraced that opportuni
ty with consummste art. For ex.
ample, he recently made this telling
deliversnce:
II have been called disturber,
but have done nothing except to
insist upon being honest with the
people. Go to the states where the
reorgsnizers are in control of the
party machinery. They do not take
the people into their confidence
You cannot find in their platform a
single declaration that speaks out
honestly and fearlessly on any i'm
portant question. Their policy
seems to be to keep still. But if
they won't be honest before election
and speak out fearlessly, it is unres
sonable to suppose they will be hon
est after election
"Considering the treatment that
has been accorded the Albany p at
form by democratic newspapers OF
great prominence that are prepared
to support Judge Parker, it must be
admitted that Bryan's remarks on
that unfortunate output are not very
extrsvagant. Considering that foI
eighty years the Detroit Free Press
has been outside the breastworks,'
it will, we think, be admitted that in
these comments on Brysn's course
our Detroit contemporary is not al
together discreet"
The Washington Post believes that
the Free Press is not exactly "dis-
Greet" in its treatment OF this ques
ton; that is true from a democrat
standpoint, but from a republican
standpoint and in viewing it for the
best interests OF the country at large,
the Free Press is certainly right in
discussing it. The chrrRe Mr.. Bry-

SLEEPING QUARTERS

Three Richmond boys-Grover Mil
Ter, Will Keller and Rey Newman
have just returned from st. Louis,
after a trip which, although unique
and exciting, was one that, on ac-
count of the attendant hardships,
would not be eagerly undertaken by
many boys, to say the least.
The three boys filled With desire
to see the Fair and to see it cheaply,
one Of the boys had tried the "ped
ding on installment plan' dodge but
the work was too hard for the money
received.
They finally decided to ''hoof'' it
and took train to Terre Haute. This
was not done because their money
would take them no further, but mere
ly that their enthusiasm would stick
a little more than the first ten miles.
They averaged Thirty miles for six
days, the distance from Terre Haute
to St. Louis being about one hundred
and eighty miles, and the experiences
which fell to their lot would fill sew
eral columns. Their greatest trials
came at night, when the question of
where to sleep was the burning one.
Everything that would serve as a
berth for the night was pressed INTO
commission, and haystacks, barns,
etc, along the way will recall how
three boys trudged into them about
II o'clock at night for short sleep.
AS rule the problem of getting
sleeping accommodations was easily
solved and on only one night was the
sky their covering. But it became
necessary for various reasons on some
nights to change sleeping quarters
with silence and stealth and expedi-
dition, one night the boys having four
different berths. Mark Twain once
said, in speaking of stealing chickens,
"while you may not get the bhd
there are many other articles Of value
laying around loose that you may get.
I came away from a chicken raid one
night with a nice steel trap, worth
ninety cents 1.-THE anecdote illustrat-
ed with a cut of Mark tearing for
dear life with an enraged farmer aft
er him, Mark carrying the trap caught
fast to HIS hand. Luckily the three
boys did not get any traps.
They paid for their meals as they
went along and got along well with
the farmers along the route.
Preparations for trip Of one hun
dred and eighty miles on foot, as
given by one of the boys: "Take
large shoes, plenty of talcum powder
and money!
The boys were as tired and footsore
as could be when they arrived at st.
Louis.
P. S.-They came back on the train.
