THE DESERTED COTTAGE.

What do see as stand, T. in the sun
shine, alone,
The door ajar in my hand, my foot
on the threshold stone?
What do I hear in the wind, whisper
ing under the caves?
What do I hope to find-blossom, or
fallen leaves?
Here, where the dulled, dim square OF
a window, long since blind,
Registers, unaware, the desolate void
behind;
Here, with tangled rose, trailing
across the latch,
Tenderly clings and grows up to the
crumbling thatch.
Nay! but see, but hear, all that the
years have wrought,
Laughter. and smile, and tear; init
mate jest and thought;
Voices Of those long dead, footsteps of
those afar,
Words that were left unsaid, kisses no
time can mar.
If I should venture in, I, from the
threshold stone,
Say, should l find the thin ghost Of my
youth alone?
Grasping at joys long fled, would not
the silence be
Sinister, hooking, grina-cautiously
near to me?
Whisper thy signs, o wind. Roses, thy
door defend;
I, on the Road of Life. will go on
to the end.
All that we hold we lose, all that we
give is given;
We shall find our own Beyond, and the
finding will be-heaven.

STRONG DEMOCRATIC TALK.

Chicago Chronicle, denim times
past when the democrats have carried
national elections without the help of
Iowa democrats we have noticed that
the gentlemen from Iowa were quite as
eager to partake of the good things
spread on the official board at Wash
ington as anybody else
All that has been asked or expected
of Iowa democrats in the nation mas
been that If they would keep sober, be
decent, refrain from disgraceful COM
plications and do nothing to bring the
name of their fellows into disfavor.
1t seems that this was asking too
much. Prompted by the malevolence
money OF the ambitious Mr.. Hearst,
they got roaring drunk. they insulted
their betters, they disgraced their fam
lily and they threw red and yellow
paint around in such a fashion as to
scandalize the country for miles in ev-
cry direction. If there Is anything in
the way of cussedness that they have
failed to reveal ii has escaped public
notice.
From all Of which it appears that the
real democrats are not only under the
necessity OF giving political battle to
the republicans but they must enter
the conflict weighed down with the
brutal folly and idiocy of so-called
democrats in hopelessly republican
states who, since they are unable to
he expected to behave themselves while
1t Is in progress.
The Iowa democrat as he will be rep
resented in ST. Louis ought to be kick
ed out of the convention. He does not
know how to behave.

THE ARMY OF THE SUMMER.

The army of the summertime is
marching up the hills
The van is creeping silently beside the
waking rills,
For here and there the movement of
the couriers are seen
In spreading waves of grassy spears
that leap to living green.
Away across the meadow lands the
dandelions bold $50.
Each Haunting saucily his shield and
buckler made of gold
Are springing into action while the
insect drummers beat
A rally roll that sounds the charge,
with winter in retreat.
For soon the banners Of the rose will
blaze their white and red,
And orchard blooms in misty pink the
armvs tents will spread,
For now all bravely in the hush Of hid
den messy dells,
The outposts of the flower host have
set their sentinels.
The army of the summertime is
marching up the hills
The music OF the fairy horns the dis
tant forest fills,
And soon, with crlckets firing, and
with flower flags unfurled,
The letters made of garlands shall i'm
prison half the world.

As the bright angel he must be,
But only as my angel child
Who may be needing me.
Do not make him grow toe wise,
Angels--ye who know:
l am dull and slow to learn,
Toiling here below.
Do not fill his heart too full
With your heavenly JOY,
Lest the mothers place be lost
With her little boy.
Last night the air was mild;
The moon rose clear, though late;
And somehow then it did not seem
So very hard to wait
There seemed so much to learn,
So much for me to do,
Before my lessons here were done
And 1 was ready, too.
Those may dare to doubt who have
Their loved ones here below;
For me, do not believe,
I do not hope-I know.

ing Judge Deemer for the regular term
of six years, the last of which he is
now serving as Chief Justice. His
term expires January l, 1906, but there

been abundantly shown in his lectures

No Track Elevation.

Des Moines, May 11.--Track elevation in
Des Moines is an imposslbility. The dis
covery was made Yesterday morning when
Attorney Carroll Wright, counsel for the
Rock Island in Iowa, permitted the hand
of the railways to be shown just long
enough to exhibit trump card, which
gave aldermen and officials at the city hall
a season of nightmare. That track eleva-
tion is impossible is not the fault of the
railway companies nor of the city officials.
1t has been discovered that the city of Des
Mones will have about 100000 in dam
age. bills to pay before the first move can
be made toward track elevation, and as
there is no money to meet the claim 1t Is
probable that all efforts to elevate the
railway tracks in Des Moines viii be aban-
dOned.
