The Electric Line.
tBy Clark

1t was slorious vision
That csme 70 greet my sight.
OF scenes and things 10 Florence
That thrilled Ne with delight;
The Electric Line was finished
With trimmings all complete,
And gildod cars that shown like stars
Flew MP and down the street.
Tho people came from yopder
And people come from there,
The cannon rosred and hundred
And trumpets rent the air;
We dsnced and sang till Sunday,
On pleasure all intent,
And everyone shot OF his gun
To celebrate the event.
A thousand from Pueblo
Came ap TO trade and buy,
And crowds cam down from Canon
Because their throats were dry;
We hanged tho silly knockers
And none bemoaned their fate,
While piles Of gold upon us rolled
Through deals IN real estate.
Dear Florence young and growing
With charms that will abide
We sing Of tho. that thou wilt be
The Arkansas valleys pride.

penses-that is what they get, while
the favored contractors will get mil
lions. But what about the men who
really make the canal? They will toll
in the mire, be housed in miserable
shacks, die by the hundreds OF yellow
fever and malarie. The whole thing is
rich mans affair. The toilers will
get enough to buy their rations while
they are at work, and by close econ
omy can save enough to get back to
their homes. The papers announce
that Shonts, Magoon and Wallace have
the labor problem under consideration.
An effort will be made to get 10000
Japanese. so that the poor man OF
America is to have nothing at all out
of the millions appropriated for the
Panama canal-not even the privilege
of working on it. All the privilege
that the common man will have is to
nav the cost of the canal which will
be taken out of him by taxes on all
that he consumes, making him pay
higher price for everything that he
eats and wears. While all that is true,
labor will go to the polls and cast it's
votes to perpetuate the system. The
greatest glory that these poor crea-
lures can attain is to say Il am

Wall Street Frightened

The progress of populism for the
last few months has thoroughly fright
ened Wall street. That is easily TO
be seen by the editorials in the Jour-
nal of Commerce, the Financial Chron-
icle, and the Wall Street Journal. Pub
lie ownership is what causes them TO
hoist danger signals and hang out red
lanterns. The Chronicle admits that
there are some small ills to remedy,
but it says:
Rut all this does not warrant any
stems that would deprive security mold
ers of control over their property and
investments. Least Of all do the pre-
yailing ills, as reflected either in the
railroad problem or the trust problem,
warrant recourse to government own
ership or government socialism.
The Journal of Commerce soloquizes
as follows:
The occasion is an appropriate one
for pausing to consider what is the
real impulse behind the movement for
municipal ownership in this country,
which has brought it support in un-
expected places. 1t is not a demon
stration that the service OF public util-
tiles can not be performed more ell
GENTLY, more economically and at less
cost to the people by private enterprise
under public franchises than by direct
municipal authority.
Wall street never gets excited until
it is confronted with populisnn. De-
mocracy and republicanism it looks
| upon as it's allies, but populism threat
| ems its gratis, and tears down it's very
foundations.

Is far from being democratic and the
idea that the democratic disorganized

strong enough to raise the dead from

proclaimed conservative democracy

ROMANCE OF A BANK NOTE.
Refused at the Bank of England At
ter Twenty-Three Years.
The London Mail.

A man who walked into the Bank OF
England the other day and laid a
ten-pound note on the counter was
surprised to hear the clerk say: we
can't cash this. The note was stopp-
ed twenty-three years ago"
Over twenty years back the note
was stopped by clerk in the employ
of one OF the provincial branches OF
the London and County bank. 1t had
been brought in by an e1nploye OF
one OF the banks's clients in order to
be paid into the clients account. with
some loose change.
By a strange oversight the clerk.
after jot5ing down the number OF the
note and after counting the change,
ommitted to take the bank note.
When he discovered his error note
and messenger had disappeared.
Neither was seen again.
The clerk took counsel with COL
league at the counter, and for the
sake of their own prospects the two
young men determined to say moth
ing about the affair, but to bear the
loss themselves. Each paid 5 pounds
to make good the loss and stopped
the number.
The man who presented the note
for payment the other day had found
it among the papers of his father,
who recently died.
The two clerks instrumental in
stopping the note were traced, and
though both had left the employ OF
the London and County bank long
ago, each has received back his five
pounds after the lapse Of twenty-three
years.

SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin Of the Great
Thread Industry.

The origin OF sewing cotton was
told at d cotton manufacturers meet

house OF Paisley. Scotland. 1t was
discovered in 1903 by his grandfather,
who had a little business in Paisley.
making silk twine for heddlcs, which
were used by every weaver. The sill
came from Hamburg, and in 1903
Napolean caused the stock held there
to be burned in order to hamper
British trade. The weavers were in
despair, but James Clark conceived
the idea that cotton yarns could be
twisted together to form the twines
The experiment succeeded, and
from this grew the idea that cotton
could be substituted for flax in the
manufacture of sewing thread and
would not be so coarse and harsh
He began the manufacture of the
thread III a very small way. 1t was at
:.:st p;,; Up iii skeins and had 20 b."
,;ou;:G i:i;o little balls by tile purchas-
er. and then Mr.. Clark invented the
modern spoolS. He had them made
by wood turner. half gross at a
time. They cost him siNpcnce a doz-
ell. and he charged the purchaser Of
;Ac thread a ilalfpcnny for the spool.
which, however was refunded when
he spool was returned. The ladies OF
Paisley used to come to his shop
with their spools and wait while he
wound the thread on them. From this
small beginning grew great indus
