RHODE ISLAND FOR SALE.
Trust Magnates Using Their Money
to Gather In the Pocket
Borough.

Senator Aldrich's late visit to Wall
street seems to have borne fruit, for
the republican committee of Rhode
Island have hired all the theaters and
public halls in the state that were not
engaged, until after election, so that
the democrats could hold no meetings.
The opera house at Providence had
already been engaged by the demo-
Gratis for one night, but the balance of
the oratory will have to be in tents or
the open air. 1t will be remembered
that a son of Senator Aldrich married
one of Rockefeller's daughters, and
Aldrich is a candidate for reelection.
How much the Rhode Island campaign
will cost the Standard Oil trust land
the other allied combines, to hold
their pocket borough of Rhode Island,
will probably never be known, and
there is a fair chance that, in spite OF
Doodle and cheating, it will go demo-
cratic, and honest republican voters Of
Rhode Island must resent this de-
bauchery of their state by the trusts.

when a Nan Is Poor.

A man is poor when he has lost the
confidence of his friends, when people
who are nearest to him do not believe
IN him; when his character is honey
combed by deceit, punctured by dis
honesty. He is poor when he makes
money at the expense of his character,
when principle does not stand clear
cut, supreme in his idea. When this
is clouded, he is in danger of the worst
kind of poverty. To be in the poor
house is not necessarily to be poor. If
you have maintained your integrity,
If your character stands f%oursquare to
the world, If you have never bent the
knee of principle to avarice, you are
not poor, though you may be COM
PEELED to beg bread.-Orison SWEET

Another aspirant, questioned as to his
physical strength, and asked if he could
put any Of the members Of the board
Of guardians out Of the room without
assistance, replied, automatically, II
wouldn't like to throw out a challenge
Of that sort" But" he was asked,
could you manage a rough lunatic?"

Town Lost at Cards.

In 1903 King Gustavus w. Of Sweden
lost at cards to the duke of Mecklen-
burg a sum equivalent to about $685.
900. Being unable to pay he pledged
to his opponent the little fishing vii
lage of Wismar on the Baltic sea. It's
new owner at once set about dredging
out a harbor, building quays and gen.
orally improving the place, and ri
long 1t became n Of the most impor-
tant cities Of the famous Hanseatic
league. When the duchy Of Mecklen-
burg-Schwerin was incorporated with
the German empire, Wismar, of course,
went with it; and, although by the
terms of the agreement it might have
been redeemed at any period up to
1908, no attempt was eve made by
Sweden to do so, and in consequence
it is now an integral part Of the do
minions of the kaiser.-Stray Stories.

The Easy-Going English.

There is one word you will hear In
England all the time wherever you go
the word holiday. All England, win
ter. spring, summer and autumn, talks
holiday. Holiday, l ask myself, from
what? Judged even by the most easy
going of American standards, life in
England seems pretty well all holiday,
and the annual August respite from
work rather a elimination than an ex-
ception. Take an American, of what
ever trade or profession, dump him
down on England, and his first i'm
preston and his last will be, These
people do not know what work is"
Everything is against their knowing
it. 1t is the leisure class that rules,
that makes up society, that holds all
the positions men naturally covet. l

DAYS COME AND CO..

Leaves fall and flowers fade,
Days come and go:
Now is sweet summer laid
Low in her leafy glade,
Low like a fragrant maid,
Low, low, ah, low.
Tears fall and eyelids ache,
Hearts overflow:
Here for u dead loves sake
Let us our farewells make
Will he again awake?
All, no, no, no.
Winds sigh and skies are gray,
Days come and go:
Wild birds are flown away.
Where are the blooms of May?
Dead, dead, this many a day,
Under the snow.
Lips sigh and cheeks are pale,
Hearts overflow:
Will not some song or tale,
Kiss, or a flower frail,
With our dead love avail?
All, no, no, no.

cape the senile whimperings of the old
Amati. All at once she was standing
squarely in front Of me.
OF course, l realized after the first
shock that it was not a dream, and
that the girl was flesh and blood, and
not my Elsa at all it had been Is
years and more since l had left her
dying in the little home. She was as
like her, though, as one could well i'm
agine two people to be alike-the
same eyes and shiny hair, and a look
that reminded me Of Carl, too, and sent
a great wave of inconsistencies and
longing all over me.
What a grand old VIOLIN" she said,
softly, to herself; "a real Stradivarius,
too" She walked up to the glass,
and continued, shaking her finger at
me, How are you, old Mr.. Stradivar-
ius? You look awfully proud and
stiff and naughty, hanging there all
by yourself. l am sure if you belonged
to me | should never dare to touch you,
and should never care half so much
for you as | do for my W Stainer.
You must be like the violin"
Just here a boy came hurrying into
the room and interrupted her. Rather
a nice-looking boy he was, and I saw
in a minute from the way the two
looked at each other that they were
sw%eethearts--I have seen that
same look pass between Elsa and Carl
many times.
See this old violin, Fritz" she said,
eagerly. "We must bring Papa to
look at it." And out they went
hand in hand.
They were away SO long that ]
made up my mind they were like all
the visitors, and that something else
had caught their attention, SO that
they had forgotten me-and I was
sorry, for the girl was SO like Elsa ]

was wrong.

not alone. Following them came Q
