sat down on the warmly cushioned

about her she made firm resolve that
she would not give him an opportunity

put his arm around her to draw the

THE OOON THAT Is CO MING.

Though r,Srals thrive while honest men
must toll for slender gain.
Though brass may take the fair rewards
that should be won by brains
Though judges chosen to apply and to
defend the laws
Exert their cunning in the task of finding
little flaws.
Keep ON, oh We that honestly pursue the
upward way,
Wrong never yet has managed to escape
its judgment day.
Belshazzar's palace lies in dust and Car
thage is no more.
The arstocrncy of France repaid in full
with gore:
A Stuort's head fell from the block. no
Stuart wears Il crown
The walls that lnfamy erect are sure to
crumble down,
They may sometimes loom very high.
their outlines may be grand
But always underneath them there is
only shifting sand.
Though rascals laughing at the law
walk ont through prison gates.
Though Justice is lei far astray by cum
ming advocates.
Though judges serve the rascals ends
and scorn the public's right
Though foul corruption's Shiny trails are
everywhere in sight,
The wrongs will have their ending in the
Old old fashioned way;
Keep on, hope on. oh We that serve to
haste the judgment day.

Tornado or Cyclone.

There is IA wide difference between a
cyclone and a tornado, as the terms
are used by meteorologists, and the
two commonly are COMPOUNDED by the
public. A cyclone is a storm general
in chara cter, sometimes travelling thou
sands of miles and keeping up its vio-
lence. AS its name indicates, it has a
circular movement, but the diameter
of the circle may be 800 miles. The
hardest blows from a storm of this
kind ever recorded in Chicago were in
