------l'-l-7--7'7' : The Great Guest Comes.

ssWhile the cobbler unused there passed
 his pane A begger drenched by the driving rain, He called him in from the stony street And gave him shoes for his bruised feet The begger went and there came
 crone Her face with wrinkles of sorrow
 sown. A bundle of faggots bowed her back, And she was spent with the wrench
 and rack. He gave her his loaf and steadied her
 load As she took her way on the weary road. Then to his door came little child. Lost and afraid in the world so wild, Tn the big, dark world. Catching 1t up, He gave it the milk in the waiting cup, And led it home to it's mothers arms, Out of the reach of the worlds alarms. "The day went down in the crimson
 west And with it the hope of the blessed
 Guest. And Conrad sighed as the world turned
 gray: Why is it, Lord, that Your feet delay 2, Did You forget that this was the day 7 Then soft, in the silence Voice he
 heard: Lift up your heart, for 1 kept my
 word. Three times I came to your friendly
 door; Three times my shadow was on your
 floor. I was the begger with bruised feet; I was the woman you gave to eat; I was the child on the homeless street. v From a poem by Edwin Markham, in the December Delineator.

Although those who have been riding over the railroads on free passes may think it a hardship to be compelled to pay full fare hereafter the general public will be greatly benefited if such a policy, or oD- seryance of the law, shall have the effect to reduce railway transporta- ton from three to two cents a mlle- The indications are that favoritlsm in such matters must cease and the people be placed on an equality Tn the use of public utilities.

A TinELY SUGGESTION.
The Wells-Fargo Express Col

The Wells-Fargo Express Com pany ought to meet the De Queen land growers at least half way in their efforts to get their produce to market at a profit. Extortionate rates will wipe out an important industry, while a liberal spirit of cooperation will result in increased business for all concerned.
 The foregoing from the De Queen Bee is an apt and timely suggestion, but we fear that as far a' the Ex- press Company is concerned it will fall on deaf ears.
 The growers and shippers of fruit are absolutely at the mercy of the private corporations conducting the transportation lines.
 While there is an abundance of competition among growers of fruit there is no competition whatever
