THE OLD MILL

On the wild South Fork OF Harrod's Creek,
OergroWn with creepers, II you should seek,
You viii find ancient water mill
or stone below a wooded hill.
Its weedy wheel Is not less still
Than its Image that sleeps in the grassy pool
Where the mocCasin swims; and SHINY cool
Like streaks of light through the blurs OF sun.
The silver minnows and crawfish run.
The burdOck sprawls on its sill of pine;
And, in its pathway. Byzantine
And blackberry tangle and intertwine:
OX-daisies checker with bronze and gold
The bushy banks Of its milrace DID,
The owl in its loft as safely lairs
AS the fox in its cellar. that whelps and cares
Naught for the hunters " no gallOp by
With their baying hounds: the martins fly
Around its chimney and build therein;
And wasp and hornet, with murmurous din,
Plaster their nets, that none disturb,
On window Intel and hopper curb.

the street in the city. and in the country. far
from the kitchen and the nursery.
The children in household should consider
the guest room sacred. They should not be al
lowed to enter it or TO knock at the door with
out first consulting an older head. Even the
hostess may spoil the loveliest guest room by
repeated inquiries. One is safe in concluding
that guest wishes to be alone when occupying
his room. over entertainment IS worse th2h
none at all.
In the city, where one enga cement laps over
another, we have found this out; but in the
country too large 4 responsibility for the guest
is often felt. and thereby the real pleasure or
his visit is lost.

Another woman turned all the small servants

A DEMOCRATS VIEW OF THE TARIFF.
The two great parties are fundamentally d.
vided as jefferson and Hamilton were Issues
change with changing conditions from year 10
year, but issues are, after all but the appIlca-
tion Of fundamental principles to conditions.
As to the tariff, the Democratic party STANDS
for the principle that prOtecuOnism is system
OF taxation whereby many are robbed in order
that few may be hothoused by legislation
into artificial prosperity. The method whereby
protection" does this is by DETECTING capital
and labor from naturally profitable pursuits into
pursuits made by Legislation profitable, pursuits
which without legislation would have been less
profitable or perhaps not profitable at all.
The ultimate goal Of Democratic striving is
tariff for revenue only but in the striving
toward this goal common sense, good judgment
and conservatism win prevail and time Will
enter as a factor. Perhaps IL might be said
that an ideal Democratic tariff for revenue
only would consist in leyying import duties
~pon all, or nearly al. imports. dividing them.
