GOING HOME.

We said that the DAYS were evil.
We felt that they might be few,
For low was our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew
But one who had no possession
Locked up 10 the azure dome,
And said. in his simple fashion,
Dear trieLds, we are going home!
This world is the same dull market
That wearied its earliest sage:
The times 10 the wise are dark vet,
But so hath been many an age.
And rich grow the toiling nations,
And red grow the battle spears,
And dreary with desolations
Roll onward the laden ;.ears.
What need of the changeless story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectre that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gold
That wisdom and strength. and honor
Must fade like the far sea foam,
And Ceath Is the only winner?-
But, friends, we are going home!
The homes we had hoped to rest in
Were open 10 sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was best in
Were not for the wear of life;
For care can darken the cottage,
As well as the palace hearth,
And blrthrghts are sold for pottage,
But never redeemed on earth
The springs have gone by in sorrow,
The summers were grieved away,
And ever -'e feared tomorrow,
And ever we banned to-day.
In depths which the searcher sounded.
On Mills which the high heart comb,
Have troubl,s and toll abCunded--
But, friends, we are gong home.
Our faith was the bravest bGi,dc
But found not stone OF trust;
Our love was the fairest glider.
But lavished its wealth on dust.
And liz hath the fabric shaken.
And fortune the cay hath shown.
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing tat was our cwn.
The light that to us made baser
The patNs which so many choose.
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use:
The oart that when life was wjntrv
Found summer In s,"am and tome,
With those to our kin ana count V
Dear Il ends, we are going home,
Frances Brown.

Tor her. They persuaded and scolded
her in turn; they talked of his wealth.
his position and his blue blood, but
they dared not mention his face. for
In their hearts they knew he was hide
Gus 10 look upOn-he was old and
wrinkled, with hardly tooth left in
his lead.
The Princess was quite determined,
however, so she mercy shook her
head in reply to their appeals. At last
the King completely lost his temper.
In sooth," he cried, you are no
daughter of mine. Never has such
wilfulness been known in my family
before. | chose a worthy, kind hearted
man who is fit for YOU to marry, and
you scorn him. For shame"
He shall never be my husband" de-
clared the obs. ,.nate Princess. Il shall
know the man | am gCing 10 marry
directly / meet him." she added.
What do you mean" demanded the
King indigI antly.
Last night when | was asleep"
said the Princess, "a handsome young
Prince came TO me in my dreams. and
he was. oh. so fair 10 look upon. He
was tall and straight and young. albeit
that his h-ir was tingtd with gray.
And if l wait fifty. si-ty or seventy
years, | shall be content if he claims
me at the end cf that time. But me-
thinks an evil spell lies heavily upon
him. otherwise he would ccme for
ward now"
Then the King grew simply infuri-
ated with his daughter He stormed
and raved at her. and at last. as "A
punishment 70" her disobedience. he
condemned her TO live all alone on a
little island that could just be dis
cerned from the roof OF the palace.
But the Princess Darella ra.de no
objections. When the time came for
her TO leave her home she stepped in
TO the boat quite willingly. She chatted
gayly TO the crev a they bore her out
to sea. and she gazed undauntedly at
the little island on which she would
probably be starved 10 drath. When
they left her on the beach with her
bundle of things lying at her feet.
sh, still seemed quite content with her
fate, and she waved her handkerchief
20 the boat as long as she could see IL.
The Arst thing Darella did was TO
wander round the island in search OF a
nice dry cave to live in: and when she
had found ii she spread her few be-
loncings about. and tried 20 make il
look al comfortable and homelike as
possible. and then. OF course. she felt
hungry. When she set out To gather
herself some fruit and some berries 10
eat she was surprised to find that
somebody had already placed a pile OF
delicious fruit in readiness for her.
This is very nice" said the Prin-
cess, as she dug her little white teeth
into juicy pear. II wonder who has
been good enough 20 do this for me.
think shall be very happy here"
And SO she was. Although she never
met any human being upon the island.
all her wants were attended TO i'm a
most marvellous manner. A little heap
of fruit was always placed outside the
door OF her cave every morning be-
fore she awoke. and when she went out
for her daily walk round the island lis

STANDARD OIL CASE
IN HANDS OF JURY
Closing Days Proceedings at Findlay.
Ohio, Marked by Clashes of
Attorneys.

F'indlay. Ohio. Oct. 1S.--After trial
of seven days the fate of the Standard
Oil company of Ohio, charged with
conspiracy against trade. was placed in
the hands of the jury at $50 last night.
The days proceedings were the most
strenuous of the trial.
Tension between the counsel on either
side. which had been on the increase
as the case progressed, reached the
breaking point yesterday and hot words
of criticism passed. This resulted from
the receipt of a telegram by the attor-
ney general stating that the Manhattan
Oil company had sold out TO the Stand
ard for S2.OOO.000. This was declared
by the defense as a trick TO influence
the jury. Prosecution retorted the
matter would have never reached the
jury had not Attorney Kline, for the
defense, mentioned the matter in open
court The incident was closed by d
severe admonition from the court. The
jury was instructed not to regard the
matter

CAMPAIGN GIFTS BY
FEDERAL employees CUT
President and Orders Iowa Repub-
Iicans to Rescind Requests.

Washington, Oct 1S.-Besides call.
ing down President Roosevelt for vio-
lating the law prohibiting any employe
of the government from making poll
tical contributions. the civil service
commission has directed the republi-
can campaign committee of Iowa to
withdraw letter sent to government
officials and clerks here asking for
money. The law authorizes prosecu-
ton for its violation, but the commits
sion will not take such action against
Mr.. Roosevelt, the congressional re-
publican committee, or the Iowa state
committee.
The president testified to the COM
mission that he did not contribute his
dollar to Representative Sherman,
chairman of the congressional commit
tee, but sent it to some one else. The
law prohibits contributions direct or
indirect" SO that the presidents ex-
cuse is of no avail.

BANKERS ACT FOR
ELASTIC CURRENCY
Adopt Reports of Committees Bearing
Upon Features Tending 10
That End.

ST. Louis, Oct 1S.-Elastic currency
and currency reform constituted the
paramount topic at today's session ol
the convention of the American Bank
ers' association. Immediately upon re
assembling, the reports of the clearing
house conference and bill of lading
committees were read. The latter com
mittee recommended that there be pre-
sented to congress in December amend
ments to the rate bill to follow the
existing bill of lading clause, that will
provide negotiability for bills of lad
ing when issued in negotiable form.
and also define the rights and liabili-
ties of the parties thereto.
After passing a resolution for the
appointment of a committee to gather
evidence of breaking the interstate
commerce law by express companies
doing a banking business, the conven-
ton adjourned until tomorrow. when
the currency reform question will be
the special order of business.
