Mary Of the Wild Moor.
One night when the wind it blew cold.
Blew bitter across the wild moor.
Young Mary she came with her child.
Wandering home to her own fathers
door;
Crying. Father, o pray let me in;
Take pity on me, l implore,
Or the child at my bosom will die,
From the winds that blow cross the
wild moor.
-Oh. why did leave this fair cot.
Where once l was happy and freel
Doomed to roam without friends and for
got;
oh, father. take pity ON me-"
But her father was deaf TO her cries,
Not voice or a sound reached the
door:
But the watchdogs did howl. and the
winds
Blew hitter across the wild moor.
Oh. how must her father have felt
When he came to the door in the morn;
There he found Mary dead, and the child
Fondly clasped in its dead mothers
arms.
While in frenzy he tore his gray hairs.
As on Mary he gazed at the door,
For that night she had persisted and died,
From the winds that blew cross the
wild moor.
The father in grief pinned away,
The child 10 the grave was soon borne;
And no one lives there TO this day.
For the cottage TO ruin has gone.
The villagers point out the spot.
Where willow droops over the door,
Saving: There Mary persisted and died.
From the winds that blew cross the
wild moor

DINGLEY TARIFF BILL
II Has Brought2ss Trusts Into Ex

w ashlngton. Sept. l8 - fh'
Democratic campaign book, ad
vance sheets Of which are being
issued, vigorously assa,ls the Ding
ley tariff bill, and shows that ,h,,
measure has brought into existence
23s trusts. It says:
ITO claim that a protective tariff

tariff that does not raise prices ls

of so-called protection is to ena.

"Tbe Dingley tariff act, which
became q law on July "a, 1897,
raised duties TO the highest poin,
ever reached IN this, if not in any
other country. Not only are the
Dingley duties as high as in the
opinion of Republican leaders il
necessary to protect manufacturing
industries, hut those duties were

Police Inspector Richard Walsh, who
has quite a reputation in the depart
meht as story teller, says the New
York Globe, told this one the other
day:
"A few nights ago a policeman found
man lying in vacant lot over Ho-
boken way, and he aroused him with,
Come on, mister, this isn't free lodg-
ing house
But 1 have good excuse, replied
the man.
''''What is it?' asked the cop.
See that house over yonder?
Wen, please do me the favor, old man,
to go and knock at the door and ask
if William OBrien is at home
THE cop assembled the steps and
knocked at the door with his night
stick. A head was thrust out of a
top window and shrill female voice
demanded, WHO is there?'
" Madam inquired the officer, is
William O'Brien at home?'
a." No, sir; and I don't expect him
until daylight, snapped the woman;
and at the same moment a deluge of
dirty water descended on the police
mans head and half drowned him..
" Well said the man on the vacant
lot as the dripping policeman returned
to him, you see how it is, don't you?
I'm O'Brien. That's Mrs. O'Brien.'
THE policeman allowed OBrien to
stay where he was.

which Was the Criminal.

A dispatch from Wilmington, Del,
says: In the City Court tomorrow
Judge Cochran will be compelled to I'M
ravel a controversy as to whether a
turtle seized Edward Pierce or Pierce
seized turtle. Early this morning
Pierce, who was drunk. was arrested
with large turtle hanging to the seat
of his trousers.
Pierce claims that he went to sleep
on the sidewalk near the store of Hur-
lock Brothers, at Seventh and Poplar
streets, and while, asleep the turtle at
tached itself TO his troU 3ers. He awoke
with a start and, supposing he was
suffering with an illusion, he made an
effort to rid himself of the reptile.
He was unable to do so and started
on a still hunt for assistance, when he
met Patrolman Sheehy. He explained
his situation to Patrolman Sheehy, but
the patrolman is of doubtful mind and
at once arrested Pierce on the charge
of stealing the turtle.
After some trouble ii was detached
from Pierce at the police station and
locked in the cellar as a witness. while
Pierce was locked in a cell.

They stood. a man and a woman, in
the gallery, looking down on the gilt
tering throng of dancers on the floor
below, says Town Topics.
What was 1 saying to you mo-
ment ago." asked the man; that is,
before / went out?"
You were saying" said the woman,
things that made me sad, even in
the midst of all this gayety. You
called it a painted glare-you spoke of
all those women down there, each hug
ging in the secret recesses of her heart
some supreme sorrow, some cloylng
unrest You were wondering to what
depths of remorse within the next year
each might reach. You spoke of the
men; how haggard some of their faces
were. You said the pace was too
much for them; death and ruin and
disaster hung over this throng like
a grinning skeleton. Really it has
given me the shivers. Don't you re-
member what you ,said?"
He turned and looked at her. There
was look of complacency on his
face.
Did say all that" he replied,
before 1 went out? Well, WE'LL you
must forgive me. 1t isn't so. Why,
see how they are all enjoying them
selves! What a magnificent sight!
What grand thing is life! How this
music thrills me! My friend, it is
good to be alive"
She looked at him in establishment.
What has changed you so in such
a short time?" she exclaimed. why,

STANDARD OIL MEN LOOKING
AHEAD,

In financial circles in New York
there seems to be a good deal of spec
uiation as to whether or not it is the
purpose of certain Standard oil men
to get control of the banking interests
on the Isthmus of Panama. These an
terests promise to be very great IN
the course of time. Indeed, in the very
near future they may become of great
importance.
What started the speculation was the
action of Senator Aldrich, the leader of
the Senate, in connection with GER
tain section, known as section q, of
the Panama bill, when that bill was
before the Senate.
This section % provided for the es-
Enlistment of a government deposit
tory in the canal zone. Senator Aid
rich moved that the section be strick-
en- from the bill. He said that it
wasn't known yet what would be re-
quired on the isthmus in the way of
fiscal agencies. Besides, only a ma
tional bank could be a government
depository, and under the law a ma
tional bank couldn't be Established on
the isthmus.
1t is stated that Standard Oil in
terests OF the National City Bank of
New York, the bank which is supposed
to be practically controlled by the
Rockefellers, has on file with the Con-
troller of the Treasury an application
for charter for a national bank on
the Isthmus of Panama. Evidently
such an application wouldn't have been
filed if there had not been some rea-
son for thinking that conditions would
arise that would permit of its being
granted As far as now can be seen
the only condition of affairs that would
Permit of the granting of the applica-
ton would be the annexation of the
isthmus. Is there a scheme on foot
for the annexation of the isthmus?
This question forms a part of the basis
of the speculation as to what the plans
of the Standard Oil men are in respect
TO financial matters on the Isthmus of
Panama.
1t is supposed that Senator Aldrich
is posted in respect to the plans of
the Standard Oil interests in question
for the reason that John d. Rookie
fellers son is Senator Aldrich's SON
| in-law.

Mr. Bryan has perhaps noticed that
there isn't a general demand among
Democrats for the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform. In a few states
states in which the Populists had
strong foothold when Populism was in
favor-the Democratic conventions are
calling for the reafirmation of that
platform, but the number is small. In
fact, in some of the states in which
there was a strong element of Popu-
lists Democratic conventions are refus-
ing to reaffirm the Kansas City plat
form. 1t seems that the Democratic
convention of Wisconsin on Tuesday,
turned down a resolution reaffirming
it. The Democrats of South Carolina,
in their convention on Wednesday,
hadn't a word to say in behalf Of that
platform, Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Bryan was remarkably popu-
ular in that state.
1t is doubtful if in any of the South
ern states there will be a demand by
Democratic conventions for the reaf-
firmation of the Kansas City platform
1t is probably safe to say there will be
no such demand in any state which is
depended upon for u Democratic ma
jority in the presidential campaign.
If. then, the sentiment of Democrats
generally is against the reaffirmation
of the Kansas City platform, why is it
that Mr.. Bryan insists upon making
that platform a part of the platform
to be adopted by the Democratic Ma
tional Convention this year? Is it be-
cause he thinks the Democratic party
would stand a better chance of win
ming the election with a platform con-
tanning the principles of the Kansas
City platform, or is it because he is
determined to force the party to accept
that platform whether it wants to or
not, simply because he practically
framed it and made it's adoption in
1900 the condition on which he would
accept the nomination for President
that year?
Mr.. Bryan may find. much TO his
surprise, when he reaches st. Louis,
that comparatively few of the dele
gates to the convention want the Kan
sas City platform reaffirmed. In that
event he will be wise if he acquiesces
lin the situation, and permits that
platform to remain a part of the past
political history of the country. 1t is
certain he isn't going to find a con-
vention that can be nodded easily to
his will as were the conventions of
1906 and 1QO0
