The Dreamer.

Fortune and fame and ease may pass me
by,
Swift youth that no man sees, care
not /;
Sorry may be the hold wherein I live.
Scanty may be the gold the world may
give,
Yet still my poverty my plenty seems
God gave great gifts to me, giving me
dreams.
Though by a waning fire alone I sit,
Failing my hearts desire to brighten it,,
Still in the heart of me, too fair to name.
Burns one dear fantasy like golden
flame
Fairest that face 1 see, lit by such
CLEANS
God gave great JOY to me, giving me
dreams.
Young eyes and laughing lips too soon
have passed.
Youths clinging fnger-tips unloose at
last;
All of the bliss men gained fails them in
time,
Only the unobtaned lives life sublime:
Mine still that ecstasy no grief redeems-
God gave all good TO me. giving me
dreams.

Force of Strong Personality.

Who has not felt his power multi
piled many times. his intellect sharp
ened, and keener edge put on all Of
his faculties, when coming into con-
tact with strong personality which
has seemed to unlock hidden powers
which he never before dreamed he pos
sessed, so that he could say things and
do things impossible to him when
alone? The power of the orator,
which he filings back to his listeners,
he first draws from his audience, but
he could never get it from the sepa-
rate individuals any more than the
chemist could get the full power from
chemicals standing in separate bottles
in his laboratory. 1t is in contact and
combinations only that new creations,
new forces are developed.-O. S. Mar.

ousting him and restoring Richard
Croker to power if the latter will con-

ply takes so much for Murphy that
there is mighty little left for the rank
and file.-Chicago Chronicle.

FRANCES WILLARD's LIFE WORK.
All Her Efforts Tended in Direction of
Human Justice.

The statue of Frances f. willard,
which Illinois has placed in statuary
hall at Washington, has been unveiled.
Miss Willard will stand there in mar
BILE, the only woman among a multi
tude of soldiers and statesmen. The
women of the state petitioned the leg
islature years ago to recognize her as
n historical character deserving
Mace in statuary hall and it consented
Miss Willard displayed her greatest
powers in the work of organizing wom-
en- and men for the accomplishment of
moral purposes. She was a reformer
Of almost every imaginable kind. The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was devoted primarily to the extinc-
ton of the liquor traffic. But it went
far beyond the limits of this original
intention. Miss Wizards mind was
as broad as the needs Of misery. I'm
der her leadership the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union had innumer-
able departments which illustrated the
variety of Miss Wizards interests.
There was health and heredity de-
partment. There was physical cul-
ture department. There were school
savings bank, police station, Sabbath
observance and purity departments.
There was a department for the es-
adjustment Of international peace and
one for the establishment of female
suffrage. Yet Miss willard could
hardly be called a philosopher in the
sense in which Margaret Fuller or
George Eliot was a philosopher. She
called herself. to be sure, q Christian
socialist. and her opinions on the labor
and capital controversy are still large
ly and prominently quoted in socialist
newspapers and magazines. But even
in her Christian socialism she ex-
pressed merely the longings of her
soul for human justice or what seemed
to her human justice. She had moth
ing that could be called philosophy
in economies any more than in poll
tics. She was the Christian conscience
of the America of the last part of the
nineteenth century operating through
q genius for organization toward the
accomplishment of certain specific re-
forms. In that capacity she was dis
tinctive type in American life.-Chi

Vast Amount Within Reach of John

A Wall street banker, who is said
to be the head of one of the largest
financial institutions of New York, is
credited with the statement that the
fortune Of John d Rockefeller will in
a few years amount to $1,000,000 900.
There are many estimates current of
MI Rockefeller's wealth, estimates
ranging all the way from 100000
to 100000, but the Wall street
authority adds that all estimates Of
the Rockefeller fortune have been too
low. Years ago Mr.. Gladstone was
one of the guests at dinner in Eng

Food for Japanese soIdIers.

Rice and dried fish are the uniform
food of the Japanese army in cam
paigning times. The rice is first
boiled until it is thick and glutinous.
Next it is placed on a china slab,
rolled out and cut into squares. The
squares are then placed in the sun to
dry. They become as hard as a ships
biscuit. and are ready to be stored. A
certain number Of squares are allowed
to each soldier a day. All he has to
do is to break up square in boiling
water and add his dried fish. In a
few minutes he has before him a

If he cannot procure boiling water
he eats his rice square as a biscuit.

Iron Mountain railroad. The rails
were to be delivered at a certain time.
The rails came, but after tho contract

Gould demanded pay refused it, basing
his refusal on the breach of contract
