In these political times
1t is sad, It's pity,
There are some thoughtless men
In our gallant old city
Who in days not long gone
Were most quick to lament
Old Republican rule
And its direful intent.
VIII they risk it again
And, regardless of shame,
Their old city disgrace
And her honor defame?
To these men we would say:
If you place any store
In the pride Of your city
And her glories galore;
IF you'd have her retain
Her old record and place
on the bright scroll of honor,
You should strive to erase,
If need be with your blood,
The foul SANDER and stain
Which is sought by her foes
Their place to remain.
Stead of casting your lot
With the party who'll gloat
Der your every defeat
And will seek to promote
Every possible means
To your manhood debase
And deprive you, indeed,
OF all honor and place,
You should quit you like men,"
You should rise in your might
And with one great effort
Should crush them outright.
Should be such men
Who have marked with disdair
The old-time attempt
Nf her focmcn to stain
Their city's pure escutcheon,
her JOY and her pride,
For which many heroes
Have suffered and died,

thy, as she daintily picked it out and
polished it on napkin. Then, like
a flash it came to her this was the
key to her treasure store, wheresoever
that might be. And Aunt Jane, for
some curious reason, had hidden it in
the old molasses pitcher. OF course
that blessed cherub had tipped the
thing over as he had tried to do every
day for two months!
Conquering her impatience to search
for the keyhole~to which this fascinat-

cious thing away in her pocket and
summoned the maid and the table was

she roamed, pushing the slender key
into every crack, but all to no avail.
For two weeks she kept it up, and
it was in despair that one morning
she sat down to rest.
II have to give it up" she thought.
Just then her eye fell on the old
machine, and she remembered, with a
sort of shock, that she had not busted
it for over two weeks.
She dropped the key in her pocket

dered where on earth Aunt Jane could
have put the money. Then suddenly
the thought struck her, perhaps 1t was
all joke, and there had been no
money at all.
Before she could fairly take in this
idea, the key slipped in the crack near
to its head, and like shot the whole
front of the machine seemed to fly out
at her.
She jumped back and stared in be.
wilderment at the strange sight that
met her eyes.
A tiny drawer the whole length OF
the machine, four inches wide and one
and one-half inches deep, had been
made in the front of the walnut stand,
and Dorothy had unwittingly pressed
the spring that released it, when she
was cleaning out the unsupported key
hole.
Such wealth as was in the shallow
drawer! First in the shining row
there were so gold pieces, one for each
year of Aunt James life, and each one
$50 piece. And below that the
drawer was packed with bills.
1t amounted to over $4,000! I'm.

first feeling was one of helpless be.
wilderment as to what ON earth
she should ever do with it all.
Then she thought of Harvey and de-
cided to put it all away until their
wedding day, and then turn it oversto
him. He would know what best to
do with it.
Then came June and brought roses
white to deck the bride. And when
the last guest had gone Dorothy told
her secret and gave her wealth into
her husbands hands.
The money went into the bank.
where it draws sum that adds to the
comfort of the young couple, and the
little folks that later romp and play
about the old house.
The old molasses pitcher still has
place of honor on Dorothy's table, and
the old machine, too, keeps it's famil.

family sewing, for the poor old one is
long past its usefulness.
