NV Gentle Harp.

My gentle harp, once more l waken
The sweetness of my slumbering strain;
In tears our last farewell was taken,
And now in tears we meet again.
No light of JOY hath DER thee broken.
But like those harps whose heavenly
OF slavery, dark as thine, hath spoken
Thou hangSt upon the willow still.
And yet, since last thy chord resounded,
An hour of peace and triumph came,
And many an ardent bosom bounded
With hopes-that now are turned to
shame.
Yet even then, while Peace was singing
Her halcyon son Ger land and sea,
Tho JOY and hope to others bringing.
She only brought new tears to thee.
But come-if yet thy frame can borrow
One breath of JOY. oh, breathe for me,
And show the world, in chains and sor-
row.
How sweet thy music still can be;
How gayly. even mid gloom surrounding.
Thou yet canst wake at pleasures S
Like Mernnon's broken image sounding,
Mid desolation tuneful still.

Missed Her Favorite Song.

Last summer a little girl living at
Mt. Auburn, Cambridge, wanted to go
to Sunday school with her sisters and
brother. AS she was not much over
three years old, her mother was
afraid she would not keep quiet; but
the eldest sister promised to bring her
home Immediately in case there
should be any trouble. But Annie, the
little one, behaved very well, and
when she came home with the others
she could not tell her mother quickly
enough what fine time she had
what did the children do, Annie?"
the mother asked.
ooh, they sang hymns, and teacher
told them stories.'
"And what did you do, Annie?"
II folded my hands nicely and kept
very quiet, and when they sang l did.

they never sang Yankee Doodle"

TRIED 1T ON RICHARD,

II Pink Image Didn't Kill Him Harold
Would Eat One.
Miss Estelle Reel, the general sup
erintendent Of the governments In
dian schools, was talking about cruelty.
"Cruelty,' she said, lis lack of
imagination. 1t isn't true that only
savages are cruel. All people without
developed minds-capable of sympathy
are cruel. Children, till they have
learned to think, are cruel invariably.
Miss Reel smiled.
'Iet me tell you about a little boy"
she said. ''To this little boy there was
given two images of plaster coated on
the outside with pink sugar. He want
ed to eat the images. but he was warn
ed on no account to do so.
"'They are poison he was told. IT
you eat them, it will kill YOU
However,, the little boy was dubi-
Gus. He had been cheated before by
grown up people. Day after day he
asked is he might not eat the images.
Finally he had young friend, Richard
Howe, to spend the day with him, and
that night it was discovered that one
of the images had disappeared.
"His mother, nearly frantic, rushed
to him.
Harold she said, where is that
pink image?'
Harold frowned, as he answered de-
family:
"I gave it to Richard Howe, and II
he's alive tomorrow I'm going to eat
the other one myself .'"-~

Moravia, N. Y, June 5.-Mr. .Benja-

of this place, came very near losing
his wife, and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude
knows no bounds. He says:
my wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors bit kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 130 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
is well and feeling stronger every
day.
"She used to have rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone
too.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are God-send
to those who suffer as my wife dio.
They are all that saved her. We cant
praise them enough"

Just Discrimination Ii Railway Rates
An railroad men qualified to speak
pn the subject in responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
way when he says I. There is no d.
vision Of opinion as to the desirability
OF stopping all secret or unjustly dis
cr1m1natory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking Of "un-
Justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera'
lively required by the complex com
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might. paralyze
the industries OF cities, states and
whole sections Of our national terri.
tory.
This distinction between Just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
ctal principles, taking into account tho
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value Of the services rem
dered. With tho reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions. the making Of rates
should AZ far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
Opment Of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines Of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta'
tion to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com.

TRICKY RIO. GRANDE.
MINING MANS EXPERIENCE WITH
THE RIVER.
Narrow Escape From Loss Of Work.
ing Materials and Life Taught Him
Two Lessons-Advice Of OId-Timer
Saved the Situation.

ITO give you an idea of what sort
of river the Rio Grande is I'll tell
an experience that had in getting
across it with DERRICK" said Ray
mond McDougall, mining man from
New Mexico. 81 was a contractor in
rock work in those days and was TAX
ing my derrick from the east side of
the river to the Magdalenas. The der
rick was on four wagon wheels and
four mules were hauling it. l had
my two helpers along and one of them
drove two mules. He was an old
timer, which was lucky, and if I had
trusted to my own judgment I might
have made mistake that would have
cost me my mules and derrick, if not
my life.
I'VE reached the Rio Grande an
hour before sundown and I saw a
wide river bed, but no water-only
dry sand from one bank to the other.
It was a new kind of river to me, but
my driver said that it was all right
that it was way the Rio Grande had.
The water was there, only it was fow-
ing through the sands under the
channel instead of in it. I being a
tenderfoot was for camping on the
nearer bank where the grass was
good, but Mccartney, the driver, said
that would never do unless was will
ing to take my chances of staying
there week or two; that water some
times came down the channel, a good
deal of it, and it would be we'll to get
across while we were sure that we
could.
I'VE started across over the dry
sands and l was thinking what an
easy way it was of fording a river
when of sudden the two lead mules
were foundering in a quicksand and
the whole outfit came near being
drawn in. We got the two leaders
clear of the harness and the other
two mules drew them out, one at a
time. We hitched them up again and
by making long circuit got past the
quicksand and to the other bank.
''By that time it was 10 o'clock and
the moon had risen. The mules had
just begun to climb the bank when
We heard roaring noise up the chan
mel. 1t came from a wall of water
that stretched from bank to bank and
was travelling toward us fast. It
looked in the moonlight to be four
feet high, and there was high water
behind sending it on. We didn't need
to holler to the mules. They heard
what was coming and clawed up the
bank like cats.
1--WE got out all right, derrick and
all-and there was not three minutes
to spare. Before we had finished our
supper the river was full, bank high,
with torrent that eddied and roared
as it rushed past our camping place
as if it had been sorry to miss us and
would like to get up where we were.
There was not a cloud in the sky or a
sign of rain anywhere and the flood
may have come from a cloudburst in
Colorado 200 miles away But it came
near getting US.
Il had learned one lesson, and that
was in travelling by wagon always to
camp on the farther side of a stream
And I had learned to put no trust in
the Rio Grande."
