Bless the Dear Old Verdant Land
By DENIS FLORENCE MCCARTHY.

LESS the dear old verdant land!
Brother, vert thou born of it?
AS thy shadow life doth stand
Twinng round its rosy band
Did an Irish mothers hand
Guide thee in the morn of it?
Did a fathers first command
Teach thee love or scorn of it?
Thou who tread'st its fertile breast.
Dost thou feel glow for it?
Thou of all its charms possest,
Living on its first and best,
Art thou but a thanllCSS guest
Or a traitor foe for it?
If thou lowest where's the test?
Wilt thou strike a blow for it?
Has the past no goading sting
That can make thee rouse for it?
Does thy lands revving spring,
Fun of buds and poisoning.
Fail to make thy cold heart cling,
Breathing lovers VOWS for it?
With the circling oceans ring
Thou vert made a spouse for it.
Hast thou kept as thou shoulds't keep
Thy affections war; for it,. ~.
Letting no cold feeling creep. ~.
Like an ice-breath DER the deep,
Freezing to stony sleep,
Hopes the heart would form for it,
Glores that like rainbows peep
Through the darkening storm for it?
Son of this down-trodden land
Aid us in the fight for it.
We seek to make it great and grand,
Its slipless bays, it's naked strand
BY canvas-swelling breezes famed!
Oh what glorious sight for it,
The past expiring Ike brand
In mornings rosy light for it!
Think, this dear old land is thine,
And thou a traitor slave of it,
Think how the Swtzer leads his kline
When pale the evening star doth shine;
His song has home in every line,
Freedom in every Stave of it:
Think how the German loves his Rhine
And worships every wave of it!
Our dear land is bright as theirs,
But OH our hearts are cold for it;
Awake we are not slaves, but heirs
Our fatherand requires our cares
Our speech with men, with God our PRAYERS;
Spum blood-stained Judas gold for it:
Let us do all that honor dares-
Be earnest, faithful bold for it!

THEIR WOES
WON'T WASH

A strange tale was told Chief of
Police Waller this morning by two
men giving the names OF w. w.
Kerry and Ed Belts, who main
tanned that they had been held up
last night by two policemen.
Belts came to the chief first and
said that while he and his partner
were sleeping In a box car in the
Great Northern railroad yards, two
men awoke them by flashing a
spotlight in their faces and de-
manded who they were.
After telling them that a train
had ben held up and the police
were looking for the robbers. the
alleged policemen made Kerry
hand over his money, 35 cents. and
Belts gave up SO.
The story was so very "fishy"
Chief Waller sent Patrolman Lis
ter along with the man to get his
partner. The two were not allowed
to converse on the way to the sta
ton, and when Kerry told his
story 1t differed entirely from that
told by Belts.
The chief ordered them both
locked up as Migrants.

SUING ON
OLD JACS

David Tonnet, who has had one
round out of John Jahde for undue
influence in property matters when
Tonnet was under another sort Of
ifluence, has another twist COM
ing to Mr.. Jahde. In a complaint
filed this morning, within very
few days from the date of the judg-
ment of the superior court to the
effect that Jahde had no business
to deal with Tonnet when the lat
ter was intoxicated, Tonnet says
that in April of last year Jahde
and his bartender induced him to
pay $500 for lots and 9 Of block
20 of the Northeast addition to
Ross Park.
The complaint states that soon
after Tonnet had paid the $500 for
the lots he was influenced to sell
by Jahde and his barkeeper the
same lots to Robert Siegenthaler
for $500. Tonnet is a Frenchman
and pleads little knowledge of Eng
lish, dull mental faculties, lack Of
business tact and intoxication for
many moons. In his recuperated
form he asks for cancellation of
the deed to the Siegenthalers, for
SIS month rental, for 800 dam
ages for unlawful detention of his
rights in the property, and for an
accounting.

SAY CARPENTERS ARE
NOT PLAYING SQUARE

A peculiar situation exists in To-
cal union affais which will take
considera Bile diplomacy to straight
en- out. At the time the ice rink
was placed on the unfair list by
the Structural Trades alliance last
winter, 1t is stated the musicians
were playing in the rink and when
the rink was declared unfair, they
continued to play claiming that
they had contract. the result was
that the structural trades fined the
musicians 500, which the mu.
sicians have refused to pay.
The recent strike of the electri-
cal workers against the Washing
ton Water Power company is be-
ing supported by every union in

for the company whenever the
chance comes their way with the
result that the members of the
local Unions are wondering why it
Is a greater crime to play in a nom
union rink than to work for a non
union company.
The musicians claim that they
had a prior agreement, the carpen-
tiers do not make any such claim.
The carpenters claim the right to
place d fine on any union which
offends against its edicts. In the
meantime it refuses support, it is
claimed, to another union in trou-

dent of all the local unions. What
