who live under his dominion. Just

those who use gas for light and fuel.
He made a benevolent consolida-

for the purpose of reducing ex-
penses and lowering prices as all his
hirelings who edit papers here de-
clared. Now they have to pay twice
as much for gas as they ever did be-
fore and he furnishes them with cheap
water gas" instead Of the coal gas
of high Illuminating power that they
once got. If man says he will not
use gas, but coal oil, he finds that has
been nearly doubled in price during
the last few years, and that he must
get it also from Rockefeller. II he
says that he will use electricity he
soon learns that that also belongs TO
Rockefeller. Yet these men think that
a populist who would show them how
to escape from the power of this tyr
ant, are such dangerous cranks that
they should not be allowed an oppor-

lie. Of such are the mullet heads OF
New York.

TINY TOKENS
The murmur of n waterfall
mile away,
The rustic when q robin lights
Upon a spray.
The tapping Of q lowland stream
on dipping boughs,
The sound of grazing from a herd
OF gentle cows,
The echo from a wooded hill
OF CuCkOO'S call.
The culver through the meadow grass
At evening fall
Too subtle are these harmoniss
For pen and rule;
Such music is not understood
BY any school.
But when the brain is overwroUsht.
1t hath a spell.
Beyond all human skill and power,
To make IL well.
The memory Of a kindly word
For long gone by,
The fragrance OF fading flower
Sent lovingly.
The canning of sudden smile
Or sudden tear,
The warmer pressure OF the hand.
The tone Of cheer.
The hush that means. Il cannot speak.
But l have heard!"
The note that only bears verse
From Gods own word;
Such tiny things hardly count
AS ministry;
The gfvers deening they have shown
Scant sympathy;
But when the heart is overwrought,
Oh, who tell
The power OF such tiny things
To make IL well!
