A Touch Of Nature,

Upon a sandy: stone.strewn beach.
That opened on little bay,
Whose outer points the sea made gray.
l found an aged fisherman
He sat and looked across the reach
OF gently heaving. sunlit sea.
Nor slightest notice took of me
Until ventured to beseech
The shortest way to gain the town:
He looked me calmly up and down,
And his slow smile was good to gee.
THE town? What's in the town." SAID
he.
| chose a bowlder and sat down;
A subtle sense of cOmradery
Born, like the mists. of sun and sea.
Came over us. though neither spoke.
The sands were gold, the stones were
brown,
The sen was green and blue and gray
And crystal clear, and far away
The mists showed purple Der the town:
We looked on sands and stones and
flood,
We felt the sunshine in our blood:
And neither having aught to say,
We sat and looked anu looked away.

Are tn. Packer. Receiving Fair Play,

When the GARFIELD report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised az
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity 1t is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained In that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out Of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dalton. II the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra
diction. a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most Of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared In a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation Of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
Ing department Of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's once, has tabulated the list OF
banks given In the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. It may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

A Washington physician, who is de-

LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Veteran River Man Tells Of the Days
That Are Departed.

That Are Departed.
Rafting and numbering on the up
per Mississippi has passed away with
the disappearance Of the great forest
along the father OF waters and its
tributaries" said Capt. Peter Conley
Of Winona, MINI. Mr.. Colney is one
Of the pioneer river men of the Mis-
sissippi and has been connected with
rafting on the river for twenty-five
years.
Five and ten years ago there were
at least fifty boats plying the upper
river engaged only in towing RATS to
the mills. This year there will be not
more than ten. Packet lines afforded
employment to some of the old pilots,
but many have passed away and 9TH
ers have gone to Alaska, while some
are now plotting boats on southern
waters.
"The transfer of the numbering in
dustry from the northern waters of
the Mississippi to southern has afford
ed the steamboat man a chance for
employment far from his home. Many
accumulated fortunes while working
for the great lumbermen of the river
and have built homes and settled
down to steadier occupation. Travel
ing on the river during the summer
months is pursuit which gives one
a nomadic disposition hard to lose.
Some of the pilots and captains
know have become owners of tow
lines and some Of packet lines. 9th
ers are now engaged In general busi-
ness. but they always desire to get
back on the river and feel the trem.

Had Read the Scriptures

Uncle Sam came into his own in
an odd manner recently. Deputy Col
lector ]. Castree Williams was at his
desk in the barge office when an elder
ly man, fashionably dressed, entered
and asked for the collector of the
port, says the New York Mail. The
visitor was referred to Mr.. williams,
to whom he said:
when I arrived here from Europe
last year l declared s1OO worth OF
goods. 1 swore that was all had.
swore falsely. | had $3.50 worth of
goods. l was not flush at the time
and l did not think it any harm to
cheat the government. I want to pay
the difference now"
Mr.. Williams figured that the extra
$50 worth of goods would have netted
Uncle Sam about $40 and the visitor
pulled out a bill of that denomination
and gave 1t to the deputy collector.
The latter wanted to know the mans
name and the ship he came in, but
the stranger refused to give any fur
ther information. AS he was going
away he turned to Mr.. Williams and
said:
The Colorado statesman., 1905-06-10

Lend me your Bible and I'll show
you why l came to square matters"
Lend you what?" inquired Mr.. Will
liams.
"a Bible"
Mr.. Williams looked among a mass
of papers and books and finally said
to the stranger:
I'VE have the law on all subjects
here-treasury department records
and everything of that kind-but am
afraid we haven't got any Bible. I'll
try and get one, however"
A messenger was dispatched to the
army building and half a dozen other
places around the Battery in search
of the holy book, but he returned
empty handed.
when you get Bible look at Pro-
verbs, 2S:13," the stranger said, and
departed. An immigrant after loaned
Bible to the barge office people and
they found the indicated proverb to
read:
HE that covereth his sins shall
not prosper. but whose confesseth
and forsaketh them shall have mercy"
