And climb my knees and call me -Dadr'

AS he who begged for fairy tales,
And wanted stories every night,
And greeted me with CHEEKY halls
All. but he was a joyous sightl
His hair was golden. and was curled
In crisp. short ringlets on his brow
No boy was yet In all the world
As jolly as he was, somehow:
And deep within his eyes was trust
And faith and great belief in me-
A boy that made me know must
Be just as true as man can be!
He called me father yesterday
Since then know my eyes are dim,
For now my boy Is gone away
And 1 may see no more of him.
I listen for his flying feet
And for his accents gay and glad
Such as heard when once we'd meet
When he would run and call me ''Dad!'

The thunderstorm continued for

The unusual violence or the storm
must have beaten up in myriad mock
the great numbers of quail that naunt
the marshy and reedy reaches about
the confluence of the Bong and the

exhausted by their enforcing flight,
and many of them were apparently

In the present instance New York had
large deposits from all over the coun-
try, yet when it received $25.000.0O0
from Secretary Cortelyou to relieve
the stringency, Wall street hung On to
those deposits and the money that be-
Ionged to other banks over the coun-
try as well. refusing to give out any
thing but checks.
The man who has money in his
pocket but who won't pay his debts
with it does not long command the
respect of his fellows. But the man
to whom some good friend loans funds
with which to meet his debts and who
then refuses to apply such funds on
his debts. keeping them for specula-
ton instead, is still worse.
Wall street played both these tricks
on the rest of the country. 1t had big
deposits from banks in the west and
south, and it had money in its vaults,
yet 1T refused to pay its debts with
those funds. Then the government
stepped in and loaned it 100000
to help out, and it still refused to pay
up.
Now Senator Hepburn protests
against the government giving New
York further aid until New York
shows some inclination to pay its
debts. If the government wants to
make any more deposits it should
make them where the money will not
be boarded as New York is boarding
it. A few millions in the south to help
the cotton movement and In the
northwest to help the grain movement
will do much more good than the
same amount will in New York, to-
merce.
The rest of the, country does not de-
sire nor need New York's money. All
it wants is that which is its own-but
which Wall street has and refuses to
give up. 81
