The Lord Of The Fields

The Lord of The Fields
What care have I for gold or fame,
For wealth. Or high estate,
With greater name is greater blame,
For deeds when men are great
The king mpst bear the CALLING yoke,
A tool, a toy Of fate,
The king must fear the dagger stroke,
Of those beside his gate
The war lord lies within his tent,
And dreams his lau, els gone,
His army flies, his columns rent,
He sees his hopes undone.
The rich man boards the gold and gem,
And quakes lest thieves may steal.
A king hath mourned tue diaden,
Where shat.ere | columns reel,
Who hath the most may lose the most,
And greater fear hath he.
The merchant mourns his ships as lost,
When storms spread Ger the sea-.
But II sleep while tempests sweep
Across The stormy seething deep.
The surf still sings, though vanquished
king.
Shorn Of their crowns may bow and weep
But give, Oh Lord, the hands, the health,
But health and hands to toll,
I ask not titles great, nor wealth.
III win the1l from the sold
When sunbeams pon, when reezes
blow,
Whe fields are " hile as drifted suow
When sun and rain have gilt The groin.
What need the want Of gold to know?
An uncrowned ling, guide The pillow
For want Of this the king must BOW,
No laurel wreath shall crown my brow,
No sculptured shaft tell thousands how,
The charl, the plowmqn, at the plow
Hath fed the land that kings may reign,
need no crown 10 tell them now
lule my fields of waving grain,
I clolhe the world, give them food,
A plowman l, paupe; rude.

Thorns are in the future years
Caution little tease
Dimpled little maiden
There is work as well as play
Pleasures are the vioIets
Spread along the way
Beautiful the flowers but
The voiels will fade
Sin is in the pleasant way
Caution, little rlaid.

The Country Editor

The Country Editor
I can never keep from thinking
Th1t there is a brighter crown
Tor the man that runs the paper
In little country town,
Where the fun'ral columns gratis
And the m .rchdnt in surprise
Tells the editor its folly
For a man to advertise
When the winds of winter whistle
He is hunting for the news,
He's the one the sorry cusses
Take uotion to abuse
Through his shoes the water PUSHES
Ten below. the reading goes
And the freezing breezes whisper
Not rag Of underclothes,
But he says the ugly woman
Is a belle for miles aroun,
Makes her aowdy bargain wrapper
With his pen a Paris gown,
Though she's not the man suthclent
in her gratitude to buy
Half a dozen extra copies
AS soace for the lie
Praises for its health the village
When the pigs are having chills,
While the council gives the city
All the stationery b.l 5
And the other folks are pulling
Doing ev'ry thing they can
That will keep the pot from boiling
For the country paper man
But / think and keep thinking
There's little brighter crown
For the man that rms the paper
In a little country town,
That he'll have robe up yonder
And perhaps enough to eat
With a pair of golden slippers
As he walks the golden street.
If perchance ha made blupder
Aud should strogyle I'D below,
We are sure the local Devil
Would be glad to let hsm go
For we'd bet a thousand dollars
To nickle OF a dime
That he'd swap a column showing
HIPS a perfect winter cline

The Old Rag Man

Adown the road, and over the hills
With a childish JOY hear
A bugle cali a, it swels and nils
Softer and louder in trebles and tills
For the old rag man is near
Ho bring me your rags
Aud your butter and eggs
have things that want to trade
have whistles and toys
or the bah IS and boys
have pans for the pantry maid
Into the closet go-they are there
Why is il hate to part
With The dear little jacket its rent a Id
ear
There are stains there are splotc and
dirt and wear
Why it is the teas will start'
1t was new when he stared to school and
think
or the rent that he made and the dit
and the ink
How he came and / give Nun 2 4FoTH
Ir1se it once more
And the tears FREEZER flow
For I think Of green little mound
AdQwu the road and over the hills
With bleeding heart | hear
A bugle call hear it swell and fill
But it opens the wonnd Of the heart and
still
A b)Yish voice so dear
hear him once more
AM dreaming knlw
For he sleeps till the trumpet shall wake
Pass along with the toys
There are other bright boys
There is here but a heart to break.

pIOy Every Available Man in
Cleaning the City.

A big force of labOrers will be placed
at work Monday morning by Street
Superintendent Gingles. Every avail.
able man in the city will be procured
and as large a force as it is possible
to obtain will get out and commence a
systematic campaign against weeds

eraI cleaning up of the city, so far as
the streets are concerned. and it is
the desire to have it completed at as
early a date as possible.

rienced considerable difficulty in OBJ
tanning good men but it is expected
that there will be enough secured by
Monday TO make a good commence
ment. 1t is possible that fifty men
viii be ready for work tomorrow
morning.
At every point where weeds are
growing they will be cut Gown and
carted away, and in addition all drains
will be opened up, in order that they
may be drained thoroughly and no
stagnant water left standing to breed
disease.
For the past week the street force
has been somewhat behind with its
work, owing to the fact that all men
have been employed in cutting a big
drain south on Jefferson street to the
bay.

WILLIAMS TOLD
Of DANSBYS
DEATH
Said He Was Sorry, But That It
Could Not Be HeIped--WaS
Visited By His Mother.

When VIM. F. Williams was told
yesterday morning of the death of
Ed. Dansby, and that il had been
caused by the bullet wound inflicted by
himself, his only reply was that he
was sorry, but that it could not be
helped.
Williams did not appear either sur
prised or panied when told of the
death Of the young man with whom
he had worked for years. He took it
quietly, and appeared as cheerful as
when he had only one murder charge
hanging over him.
He still occupies the same cell in
which he was placed last Tuesday
afternoon, and no one is allowed to
visit him except his immediate rela-
tives, and even then some one from
the Jail always stands at the door dur
ing the conversation.
Yesterday Williams was visited by
his mother, who remained with him
for some time. He gave her instruc-
tions as to the disposition of some
effects he had. and asked the family
not to spend too much money in de-
tending him.
