Aught that we want to get:

After more gold we lust:
Need. need. what do we need?

Stew. stew, worry and stew,
Nothing to get but gold:

Hearts that are stony and cold:
Strife. strife. nothing but strife
All of the golden day;
Life. life. beautiful life.
Wasted and flung away.
Fears. fears. nothing but fears,
Never place for hope;
Tears. tears. plentiful tears,
Dismal the way we grope;
Plurnes. plumes. fanciful plumes,
Trinkets of fame we crave:
Blooms. blooms, beautiful blooms,
Heaped at last on the grave
Lust. lust nothing but lust.
After the god of gold:
Dust. dust. nothing but dust,
Ashes and dust and mold:
Strife. strife. nothing but strife
All of the golden DAY;

Wasted and flung away.

A smoky haze is in the Sky,
The robin and the thrush have fled
Each leaf becomes a withered shred,
The autumn winds go mourning by,
The sumac leaves are flaming red.

The robin and the thrush have He'd.
The purple violet is dead.
The autumn fires burn and die.

Brown Tail Moth Situation.
(Old York Transcript

(Olu I OTk ITGnScGlpt-)
Edward C. Moody leading citizen
of York has the following communica-
ton in the Old York Transcript:
l noticed in the State House column
of the Kennebec Journal of the 1st
that Commissioner Gilman is already
making plans for the winter crusade
against the brown-tail moth; of course
it is early yet but when the leaves be-
gin to fall the nests can be easily seen.
In letter of recent date the COM
missioner writes: at certainly afford $
us great pleasure to hear from you
and the infested district of the brown
tail moth. The work that you did on
the coast is a great credit to you and
extcrmlnating the pest. l trust the
people inland have seen to the spray
ing. and that they will gather knowl-
edge from your work of last spring
so that next year they will see to it
that all tho winters nests are gathered
and destroyed"
President I.atiirop Of the Improve
mcnt society in his annual report dc

same line Of warfare when he says
the best results, however, can be OBJ
tanned by destroying the nests in the

Good Advice to Freshmen.

College freshmen in the Atlanti
like those upon the Pacific slope and
so the good advice which President
Wheeler OF the University of CaIifor-
MIA gave the members of his class of
1909, the other day, is worth reprint
ing, not because it is much different
from the advice other college presi-
dents are giving their freshmen but
because it has found its way into print
and so is available for all. At first
glance, it may appear a waste of valu-
BILE time to try and instruct a frcsh-
man in the manner in which he should
conduct his college life. If there is any
specimen of the genus homo atop
earth who is possessed of the sum to-
tai of human erudition it is college
freshman. President Wheeler has had
the haldihcod to attempt the painting
Of the lily ana tie refining of the gold.
The members of 1909 will probably not
appreciate his attempt but those who
have safely passed through their cal
low eshman days will read his ad-
vice with interest and approval

sees no reason why q collegian should

the poor mans son. But man car

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 26.-Speculative
sentiment in the stock market seems
to be sWayed at present almost en-
tirely by the varying gossip regarding
the relations between railroad capt
talists who control the Northwestern

shifted to the side of prevailing mar

for mutual advantage. The reports OF
restored harmony came after the
movements of the stocks and there
was suspicion that manipulative pro-
cesses played a large part in the price
movement. The downward plunge I'D
the price of Northern Securities was
in a large part due to the fear tina,
with the release of the stocks of its
constituent companies they would be
freely liquidated on account or the
high level to which the nominal quota
tons had been carried while the mold
ings were tied up in the Northern Sc
curities Company. A rumor was set
af1oat that an agreement had been
reached as to the disposition to be
made of Northern Pacific. 1t was al

interests in Union Pacific had averted
a danger which menaced them or los
