BEAUTY And THE BEAST.

A dandeion's yellow bloom
Was shining in its lowly place
Upon n plant that had scant room
To grow and lift sunny face.
Nearby a blinking toad was squat,
Half hidden in a pantain's shade
AS II 'twere fastened to the spot, ,
And long it looked, and looked, and stayed
And so the pretty flower thought
The toad was filled with admiration.
HE sees my beauty. does he not?'
Thus ran Its simple cogitation.
A bug came on the blossoms brim,
Attracted by the disk of gold,
And now the toad displayed it's vim
In action toadly, quick and bold.
The bug was taken to increase
The small waist measure of the toad.
So quickly did the action cease
More bugs soon Travelled that same road
The flower learned a lesson soon,
And shrank from such a beastly sight. q
Before the clock bells struck for noon
The bloom was closed up snug and tight.
Now here's a moral you may see,
From toads and bugs and beauty drawn,
Though such associations be
Not pleasant ones to look upon
How strange that streak in human nature
That lost fair Eve her paradise!
She listened TO a horrid creature
And took the devlish snakes advice.
And beauty often needs defense.
And oft goes daft on admiration.
When vanity crowds out good sense
'Tis ready for some bad relation.

JOKE ON COLLEGE PRESIDENT.
Eject of Rockefeller Money on Pres
ident HadIey's Ideas,


Springfield CMass) Republican.
It was while speaking at Denver in jan
uary 1900, that President Hadey of Yale
brought forward his famous remedy of
social ostracism for trust abuses He did
not think much of legislative remedies. He
believed that n proper and healthy public
sentiment acting by itself would be more
effective, and said when II is under
stood that a man who does certain things
cannot associate with his fellowmen, It
will penetrate deeply into the social or
ganism." Later on he said. by way Of ex-
PLANTATION Social ostracism will serve as
remedy for any public evil 1t is, in
fact, the only effective remedy. II ap-
plies to evils connected with trusts in
the same way that It does to any other
form Of commercial wrong"
President Hadley was evidently still hold
ing the same views when. a few weeks
later he spoke in Boston, saying among
other things we shall have an emperor
in Washington within twenty-five years
unless we can create a public sentiment
which, regardless of legislation. will regu-
late the trusts" This utterance also un-
derwent explanation later on, but with
out changing the sense as II was under
stood by most readers.
Truth compels the statement that few
people regarded the Hadley remedy for
trust evils as practicable or entitled to Sc
rious consideration as hnality. But no
one anticipated that Prof Hadley himself
would be the one most conspicuously 70
cover his remedy with ridicule,
Accounts OF the Yale alumni meeting Of
Wednesday say that four times In the
course Of President Hadleys announce
ment OF the Rockefeller gift Of 100000
did the entire audience cheer" and yell
and roar" it's approving enthusiasm, Had
Mr.. Rockefeller himself been present what
would have happened? Refusal Of seat

where? Yet II his methods may properly
be condoned, what are the methods related

which call for social ostracism Of the
author?
one Is almost forced to the belief that
Mr. Rockefeller deliberately laid a trap
for President Hadley, which he proceeded
straightway TO fall into. He Is man,
we believe not wholly devoid OF a sense
Of humor, and II might easily be worth
million in his case 10 see DR.. Hadley

ing the menace OF the trusts. II was

civil power But whether this measure
is altogether satisfactory or not, it is
certain that a separation of church and
state in France will eventually be Of.
fected This is concusively shown by
the vote in the chamber of deputies. The
sentiment in favor Of this policy has
been steadily growing for several years
and it is not to be doubted that the feel

proposed d/orcement Of church and
state is accomplished.

down to the belief that "bygones were by

places on the shelf and that a new era Of
brotherly love and fresh development had
set in, some speaker suddenly rounded a
period about William Jennings Bryan, and
then the rafters ratified. How 1t must have

CgURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE.

The protracted discussion I'm the
French chamber of deputies of the bill
for the separation of church and state
has ended in the passage of the measure
by a large majority. The consideration
of the bill has been proceeding since
last March and has been marked by no
little acerbity and bitterness on both
sides. The passage of the bill by a ma
jOrity of more than one hundred is a
quite decisive victory for the liberal
element, though not to bS regarded as
assuring the inal enactment of the
measure into law. 1t now goes to the
senate, where another protracted dis
cussion will take place, with what re-
suit no one can foretell with any degree
Of certainty, though the chances would
seem to be favorable to its passage by
that body,
1t is said that in its present form che
bin is not entirely satisfactory even to
those who accept the principle which it
embOdies and who are willing that the
church shall be disestablished provided
that its rights are respected and its in
dependence guaranteed. They assert
that certain of it's sections have been
framed for the double purpose of pro
voking schisms and OF subjecting the
church to an arbitrary exercise OF the

Sermonizing on the laxity of the moral

another the church pulpit has been preach

The wages of other mechanics in the
building trades have advanced CORE
spondingly to those of the four occupa-
tio9s above cited, or from % to 40 per
cent. 1t is also a matter of notoriety
that the prices of building materials of
every description have advanced from
10 to % per cent and in some instances
more than % per cent within the past
five years. With the marked advance in
the cost of labor and building materials
it stands to reason that rents must
advance proportionately in order that
the owners of buildings may be able to
earn reasonable interest on their in
vestment
AS matter of fact, house rents and
stores occupied by wholesale houses
have been so low in Omaha for years
as to yield practically no return to their
owners after computing the taxes, tit
surance and cost of repairs. AS a whole,
rents in Omaha are not excessive. In
comparison with rents in other cities
of equal population they are very mod

Judging from the recent utterances of

over the alleged efforts of Omaha to
block the construction of the Great
Northern extension between Sioux City
and Ashland. This impression, it seems,
has been created by the attempt of the
promoters of the Sioux City, Homer &
Omaha trolley line to contest the right
of-way of the Great Northern across the
Winnebago reservation. As a matter of
fact, the furry created in Omaha at the
time the Ashland cut off was projected
subsidized long ago and Omaha is per-
fectly serene and content to take its
chances with competitors that will bid
for the trade Of the territory to be trav-
ersed by the Great Northern, or rather
Burlington extension. So far as we
know, only half a dozen people in
Omaha are interested in the Homer in
terurban trolley line and they are con-
Quoting their campaign without seeking
the aid or consent of Omaha.
