POEMS EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW.
THE CORAL INSECT.

Toll on toll on we ephemerul train,
Who build in the tossing and treacherous main
Toll on for the wisdom Of man ye mock
With your sand-based structures and domes of rock
Your columns the fathomess fountains cave
And your arches spring up to the crested wave
Ye'rc puny thus to boldly rear
A fabric SO vast in realm so drear.
Ye bind the deep with your cecret zone
The ocean is sealed and the surge a stone:
Fresh wreuths from the coral pavement spring.
Like the terraced pride of Assyrias king;
The turf looks Green where the breakers rolled
Ger the whirl pool ripens the rind Of gold;
The sca-snatched isle is the home Of men
And mountains exult where the wave hath been
But why do ye plant, meath the pillows dark
The wrecking reef for the galsut bark?
There are snares enough on the tented field
Mid the blossomed sweets that the valleys yield;
There are serpent to coil ere the flowers are up,
There's poisoned drop man purest cup,
There are foes that watch for his cradle breath.
And why need ye sow the floods with DEATH
With moldcrng bones the decps white,
From the ice-clad pole to the tropics bright
The mermaid hath twisted her fingers cold
With the mesh of the .ea-boy curls Of gold,
And the gods Of ocean have frowned
The mariners bed in their halls Of glee:
Hath earth no graves that ye thus mnst spread
The boundless sea for the throngine dsad7
Ye buld-ye build-but we enter not In,
Like the tribes whom the desert dcvoured their sin
From the land Of promise ye fade and die
Ere its verdure CLEANS forth on your weary eye;
A, the kings Of the clOud-crOwned pyramid
Their noiseles bones in oblivion hid
Ye slumber unmarked mid the desolatc man,
While the wonder and pride of your works remain,
Lydia Huney Sgourney.

And, in conclusion, he admitted, un-

thing worth while or of any Importance
as regarded local political conditions.
Hear SearIc.
Chairman Iarkin thought it was
time for Searle. and called him from
the rear of the room. He was received
with the only real burst of enthusiasm
of the meeting, and it seemed that at
last some life had been stirred i'll the
large executive committee" 1t was
for Searle, though, not for Mckinney,
for he did not even attempt to further
Mckinney'S interests, more than cour
tesy demanded. He talked to great
length about the trusts. about Pres-
dent Roosevelt, about the insurance
company supervision, about the need
of improving the Mississippi river, and
the Rock Island arsenal He referred
to the Hennepin canal, and then, in
conclusion, devoted a few remarks to
the necessity of getting out full party
vote for the sake of party pride" He
said he knew Mr.. Mckinney would do
as he assured the audience that he
world-give Rock Island as much at
tention as though that was his resi-
dence-and hoped the Aledo man would
receive a complimentary vote here.

and as soon as he stepped forward af

about the necessity of getting out d

kind attention" In the meantime Mr..
Mckinney had made his way TO the
rear of the hall, and with a couple of
lieutenants and Chairman Witter by
bis side. held the crowd of committee

shake hands with the candidate.

After waiting long past the hour set

to order. and called on G. J. Larkin to
preside. 1t seemed Mr.. Larkin forgot

known whether it was so intended or
not. but whatever the truth may be, it
is probable that Mr.. Mckinney wonder
d what he was doing there.
Ali during the meeting men could
be seen pulling postal cards out of
their pockets and looking at them in

back. You have been selected to rep

Whether the local speakers refused
20 be connected with the affair or
whether they were directly snubbed by

it was a notable fact that such men as
