1 was busy with my blowing
When Love passed by.
Come" she cried, "forsake thy drudging;
Life's delights are few and grudging;
What hath man of all his striving,
All his planning and contriving,
Here beneath the sky?
When the grave opes to receive him
Wealth and wit and honors leave him
Love endures for aye!''
But I answered: II am blowing.
When, with straight and even furrow,
All the field is covered thorough,

I was busy with my sowing,
When Love passed by.
Come" she cried, give DER thy toiling;
For thy MOL thou hast but moiling-
Follow me, where meadows fertile
Bloom unsown with rose and myrtle,
Laughing to the sky;
Laugh for JOY the thousand flowers,
Birds and brooks-the laughing hours
All unnoted fly!"
When my acres all are planted,
But I answered.: ri I'M reaping.
Gladly to thy realm enchanted
I will follow"

I was busy with my reaping,

Come" she cried. thou planted'st %grieving,
Ripened sorrows art thou sheaving.
If the heart lie fallow, vain Is
Garnered store. Thy wealth of grain Is
Less than Loves least sigh.
Haste thee-for the hours fast dwindle
Ere the pyre of Hope shall kindle
In life's western sky"
But l answered.: 4 am reaping,
When with song of youth and maiden,
Home the hock.cart comes, full-laden,

I had gathered in my harvest.
When Love passed by.
"Stay," l called to her, swift-speeding,
Turning not, my cry unheeding-
"Stay, o Love! / fain would follow,
Stay thy flight, oh! fleet-winged swallow
Cleaving twilight sky!
I am old and worn and weary,
Void my fields and heart-and dreary,
With thee would I fly.
Garnered woe is all my harvest,
Sad ghosts Of my dead hopes haunt me,
Fierce regrets. like demons, taunt me

SOUNDS WARNING FOR ENGLAND.
Nation At Last Realizes Danger Which
Threatens Her.

LONDON, Dec. Birthdays riot in
the Indian national congress at Surat,
Bombay, over Indian home rule, has
suddenly aroused England to realiza-
ton of political conditions in India.
Warnings have been sounded for
several years but not even in the east
have Europeans regarded them as
worthy of very grave consideration.
The home rule party's violence at SUI
rat is not in itself particularly import
ant, but it called attention to the ac-
tivity with which agitators have long
been stirring the people to revolt.
Viceroy Lord Mimic is one of the
few who have been telling the govern
ment trouble is ahead. 1T is impOs-
sible," he told the executive council of
India on the adoption, last month, of
bill to prevent seditious gatherings,
'to ignore the warning of recent events
the riots at La Hore, Pindi and else
where, the insults to Europeans ana
the seditious attempt to inf1ame racial
feeling and tamper with the loyalty of
the Indian army
Ore step sure to come is suppression
of the national volunteers. a native
organization which admits training re-
cruits throughout the country in
workmanship and archery (rifle prac-
tice being prohibited) and is strongly
suspected of participation in numerous
outbreaks
That Japan has-been active in stir
ring up native feeling against the
British is openly charged by alarm
lists. The opinion is rapidly growing
that Count Okuma intended, in his re-
cert speech. almost openly to give no
tice that the Japanese would be glad
to see India rise against English rule.
Australian sentiment, which has long
been violently anti-Japanese and Ca
madam opinion now shifting in the
same direction are also beginning to
produce an effect at home.

IS POISONED BY
BEAUTIFUL Boa
DYE STUFFS USED TO COLOR
FURS PROVE INJURIOUS TO
SOCIETY WOMAN.

Poisoned by the dye stuffs used to
color her beautiful fur boa. a well
known society lady of this city is suf-
fering from an experience which al
most puts to shame the beauty paraor
stories of the Ladies Home Journal.
The poisoning was caused by a fur
boa, and the neck of the patient Is
highly inlamed as the result of the in
furious coloring matter. The trouble
was first noticed several days ago.
but the victim of the poisoning thought
it was merely an irritation of the
skin from some trivial cause and which
would soon pass away. Instead of go
ing away, however. the trouble be-
came worse and now the inflammation
is spreading at an alarming pace. 1t IS
thought by local physicians that tne
trouble will soon be under control.
This is not the first case of poison
ing from furs which has been reported
in this city. Last year several ladies OF
the city suffered from poisoned necks
resulting from wearing fur boas which
had been colored with dye stuffs when
acted iLjuriously upon the skin of the
wearers However. none of the case last
year assumed alarming proportions
and the patients were not In any
danger of any permanent injury. The

affected who is one of the most prom
inent and popular of Walla Wallas
society women.

rs extremely rare but when it does
occur. is sometimes dangerous. The
best fur houses are careful in the ma
terial used in coloring the furs but
|oftentimes some ingredient is used
which will poison a tender skin.
There have been cases come under my
observation which have proven serious
for the wearers, but these are few in
proportion to the number of women
lwho wear furs. The Only preventative
is not to wear furs, but as long as
women persist in wearing them and
they continue to be so extremely fash
ionable in the winter months, this ad-
vice will not be taken by anyone, l
