In her minds eye she pictured in

The Battle.


Now what was in the battle,
The sword. the bayonet.
The busle waking morning.
And after sun was set
Still throbbins out the surges
OF foot and cavalry
All. what was in the battle
That men had right to die?
Now what was in the battle
That brothers eye to eye
Flashed fiercer, deadlier lightinGs
Than swept the darkened sky?
And who stood on mountain
And saw the battles light.
And read the lannon's thunder
And solved the bloody fight?
And was one banner guilty.
And one Gods minister.
Was one of hell the emblem.
one heavens Interpreter?
DID Justice win the laurel
Did right fall in the scale
What meant 1t to be victor.
What did 1t mean to fall?
Over the million sleepers
hat breast to bullet fell:
over the darkened hearth stones
or north and south. as well.
VINO stands upon a mountain
And looks with certain eye.
And reads the sleepers' riddle:.
Which had the right to die?"
Nor yea nor nay forever,-
The mountain voice is dumb!
But aye the crimson river
That was the battles sum:
And ever the battles shadow
That piled against the sky.
Appeals to voiceless heaven:
Why did the brothers die?"

TRUE FREEDOM AND HOW TO GAIN 1T.
By CHARLES MAcKAY.

: want flag. Haunting rag
For Liberty to fight:
We want no blaze of murderous guns
To struggle for the right.
Our spears and swords printed words
The mind our battle-plain;
We've wen such victories before,
And shall again.
We love no triumphs sprung of force
They stain her brightest cause:
It's not in blood that Liberty
Inscribes her civil laws.
She writes them on the peoples heart
In language clear and plain:
True thoughts have moved the world before,
And SO they shall again.
We yield more in earnest love
OF freedoms sublime;
We Join the cry. Fraternity"
We keep the march of Time.
And yet we grasp nor pike spear.
Our victories to obtain
We've won without their aid before.
And shall again
We want no aid of barricade
To show q front 10 wrong;
We have citadel in truth,
More durable and strong.
Calm words, great thoughts. unfnching faith,
Have never striven in vain;
They've battles many time,
And so they shall again.
Peace progress knowledge, brotherhood
The ignorant may sheer.
The bad deny; but we rely
To their triumph near.
No widows groans shall load our cause,
No blood of brethren stain;
We've without such aid before.
And SO we shall again.

Simple Simon Simple, the worst of the hundreds of series of comic" pie tures m sunday supplements, furnishes q background for a very entertaining musical extravaganza
 The cartoon musical comedy" was originally planned to amuse children people, who wanted to please the youngsters.
 But wise theatrical managers dis covered that when older people don't the children. The natural evolution was that the managers provided a ve- hicle that would please both.
 In addition to the horse play and girls were thrown on the stage. The company was provided with one or two capable singers and costuming and scenic effects. The result was tainment, Nothing more. Simple simon Simple" is an entertainment Nothing more nor less.

Children were mo- ticeably absent The audience was quickly warmed to the performance. been seen in Montgomery this season. They went after the horseplay, they enjoyed the music. the costumes dag zled them and they applauded the scenery
 Decidedly the feature of the per- formance were the ensemble and cho- ruses The costuming in the College Life" songs blended splsndidly and the business introduced by the chorus could not have been made more att tractive. The same may be said of Yankee Doodle Up to Date," while the orchestration for the ballet was novel and made the work of the chorus re- membered in Montgomery.
 AnaIA Miserere from I'll Trovatore," and to the surprise of the audience, the mem- bers of the company sang 1t well.
 Then there were lots of other at- tractive features in Simple Simon Simple that made the two hours very enjoyable.
 The title part is entrusted to William c. Welp. MT Welp has been seen in Montgomery before. He made an i'm. pression here in straight comedy with the Veteran George Ober in his Hoyt revivals of several seasons ago. Mr cry of Simon and makes good Ably foiled by the always ridiculous Jerry Sullivan, the dwarf who has been play ing the South fer a decade, the pair caused continual applause throughout the performance.

 Features of the performance are the voice of Franklyn FarnIm, the straight comedy work of Edward Gillespie, the whistling speciality of Walter Clark, the limitations of Miss Browning, and the solos of Miss Baxter.

OPERATORS
 GRANT RAISE Fall River Enployes Score Victory. ADVANCE OF TEN PER CENT
 --S--- Thirty Thousand Come Under New
 Scale of Wages. Concession Forced By Action of Inde- pendent Mil Owner Who An- nOunces Increase without
 Being Appealed To- 

P .t
 Fall River, Mass, Nov 23.-Fall Rivers cotton mlll employees won q battle for an increase in wages today. and on Monday next, S0,000 operatives will come under new scale. giving them ten per cent more than the pres ent rate. The granting of the advance by the manufacturers prevented a strike, the workmen having voted at
 meetings last night to stop work in all mills Monday if the new schedule is not accepted.
 M. c. D. Borden. an independent cotton manufactures, employing 5000 operatives, took the lead in meeting the demands of the mn1 hands by an- neuncing that the scale of wages in his mills would be raised ten per cent. No demand had been made on the pro- prtetor of the FaIl River Iron Works Mills. and his action practically forced the other mill managers to grant the increase.
 The new pay scale affects seventy ninety-two mills. besides the iron works plant. The Manufac- turers' Association agreement to pay the new rate is for a period of six months. but provision Is made for ex. tending it.
 Betewen Novemhar. 1903. and July, 1904. the Fall River operatives suffered reductions aggregating 221-2 per cent. Lest spring part of the cut was re- stored. and In view of the continued business conditions the op- eratives demanded complete resump- tion of the 1908 scale
 It Is considered probable that other cotton mills In New England will fol- low the lead taken in thts city and that thousands of the outside mill hands ultimately will be beneAted by the determined stand taken by the Fall River unions.
