He crossed the sea q dozen times In various
kinds Of weather.
And managed that his body and bis soul should
keep together;
He once was wrecked upon a reef where luckless
others persisted
But he got home alive with all the treasures that
he cherished;
Through many q fearful storm he'd gone when
things bobbed up and down
And finally he came to think he was not born to
drown.
He'd crossed the a dozen times when matters
terrific
He'd bobbed upon Atlantics breast and braved
the broad Pacific,
But ceased to to travel where men could not
understand him,
He found that home had. after ALL the sweet
right to demand him.
There. slipping on bar Of soap some one had
left around
He tumb!ed In his bath tub, and alas they
found him drowned.

New York and Roosevelt's Policies.

John A. Stewart, president of the League
of Republican Clubs of New York. was
a visitor to the White House Thursday
and saw the President. He has recently
been sounding sentiment in his state as
to the political situation. and received over
two thousand replies to a circular letter he
had addressed to republican voters on the
subject In an interview he says:
There was among all these replies no
expression of belief that the President
would accept another nomination 1t seems
to be taken for granted that the Presloent
will not run again. AS to the question OF
instructed or non-instructed delegates to
the republican national convention. the
sentiment seems to be in favor OF an unln-
structed delegation. Judging by the replies
received, nine out Of every ten voters IN
the state are for the perpetuation OF the
Roosevelt policies. and the one-tenth OF
the total who are anti-Roosevelt are men
who either belonged to the old political
organization in the state or who are ldenu-
fled with high finance
This is a contribution of value to the
information of the day. New York is at
all times an important state politically.
and was never more so than now. In
way, the President and Gov. Hughes stand
together. Both represent reform policies,
and neither can be induced to temporize,
or compromise with the opposition. They
have many opponents in common. and the
maneuvering is continuous and skillful
The old organization referred to by Mr..
Stewart was under the thumb of Mr.. Odell,
and it was quite as much opposed to Mr..
Roosevelt when he was governor Of New
York as its members now are to him as
President of the United States. And for
the same reasons. He has never been
their man-could never be brought to their
point of view. or to play their game. And
so when they have not been openly fight
ing him they have been secretly criticising
him. and would of course hail with enthu-
siasm the reputation Of his policies by the
party next year. s..
The representatives of high finance now
in opposition were in opposition three years
ago, and sought to destroy the President
then. Having discovered that they could
not use him. could not shape his course.
and that his course would flow right
through some of their cherished practices.
they put forth their full strength to defeat
his nomination. The country was secretly
canvassed.- Mr.. Hanna, the man of their
choice, was openly lauded to the skies.
But all was in vain. The party was for
Mr. Roosevelt. as later the country proved
to be also, and since then he has carried
himself as to incur the increased dis
favor of the Wall street crowd.
Again high finance will lose its fight. The
Presidents policies will stand. repudia-
ton of them by the republican national
convention next year would bring in Mr..
Bryan with a whoop. High finance would
not only have snapped the devil for
witch, giving large boot. but have insured
greater punishment for itself than ever.

SONG OF The STRAPHANCERS.

Ho give your strap 4 tighter hold,
And swing around the curve:
Your collar bone 10 out of joint,
That was q vicious swerve.
Be careful, now, we're going to swing
Be sure to grip your strap;
Although it's nice, it's not the thing
To sit on some ones lap.
So lean against your neighbor there,
And let him bear your weight;
He has q strap and he won't care,
He likes to carry freight.
Now, with your elbow. 5ab the man
Who's standing your feet;
Then beat the others, II you can,
In racing for q seat.
Look QUIT that lady's psrasol
VIII Jab you In the eye;
Why won't the fresh conductor call

I'm wedged In here and can't get out.

oh, strenuous. without 4 doubt.

Preparations are being pushed for the

In Sioux Falls this fall by the local bust
ness men. The first annual festival held
last fall was much greater success than
anticipated and there is little doubt that
this years festival will be even more sue
cessful. One of the strong features of the
festival will be the presence of a leading
band of the east but just which musical
Organization will be engaged has not vet
been fully determined. Other attractions
are being booked for the week the festival
will continue. One of the most successful
features Of the festival last year was the
display of grains, grasses. fruits and veg
etables. This feature will be enlarged upon
this year and more than double the amount
OF cash premiums viii be offered. A num-
Der OF free attractions will be provided by
the committee which has charge Of the
arrangements for the festival These an
nual festivals take the place of the regular
street carnival features. which have been
cut out so far as Sioux Falls is concerned.

noon. Mrs Charles \Micklam and her IL
year-old daughter, Ruha. had driven their
horse up in front of store and Mrs
Micklam was endeavoring to readjust the
bride while the little girl was sitting in

mouth and at the same time a little dog
frightened the animal. He started to run,
knocking Mrs. Micklam down, and one
wheel of the buggy passed over her head.

The Tri-City Poultry association. corn

Monday night in room No. ISL. Exchange

says the association is anxious to interest
all persons concerned in fancy poultry
raising and proposes to hold its best show
thus far next winter.
The desire OF the association Is to hold
this show in Omaha. The one last winter
was held I'm South Omaha and the asso-
ciation in fact. is primarily a South Omaha
concern, but IT is felt that II the next
meeting were held in Omaha It might be
the means of attracting wider patronage

bers are energeticslly striving TO increase
the membership and extend the scope

such that its members feel warranted in
seeking further strength from those who
might well enter the association.

WILL PROSECUTE cRIMINALLY
New Policy of Government in
Wyoming Causes Con-
sternatton.

CHEYENNE, wyo. July 8.-(Special)-
profound sensation has been created
among ranchmen and stockmen, not only
of wyoming. but Of Colorado and other
western states, by the official announce
ment just made here by II. II. Schwartz,
chief of the field division Of the United
States land office. that hereafter It would
be the policy Of the government to proceed
criminally rather than by civil suits. in
Illegal fencing cases.
For the last three years investigation
of illegal fences have been going on in
western states Numerous orders have been
issued. the stockmen have been granted
extensions OF time in which to remove their
fences, and during the last six months,
during which the investigation has been
carried on in earnest, a large number of
civil suits have been instituted Illegal
fencers have come to re- this the
only course to be adoI ., he, govern
ment. and where fenc, =, been re-
moved. civil suits having vted, the
suits were dismissed.
Now comes the announce r. Sch

special agents of the land II hat
twelve criminal cases are now r, E. 2 Ne

in course of preparation. Who the d -
ants will he in these cases is a govern 1t
secret. which the officials are religiously
keeping but certain it is that 1t will include
many of the most prominent residents Of
Wyoming, and that the next session of the
federal grand jury in Cheyenne will be the
most sensational ever held here. the recent
action against the coal land grabbers paling
into insignificance beside II.
II has been the policy of District At
torney T. f. Burke to proceed against the
offenders with civil suits rather than
criminal prosecutions. But it is learned
that this policy will no longer be pursued;
that the ranchmen and stockmen have had
sufficient notice. and that in the future
Illegal fencing will be punished by criminal
prosecutions. That this policy is to be
rigidly carried out is evidenced by the an
nouncement of Mr.. Schwartz that already
twelve criminal cases have been prepared
and are ready to be submitted before the
next grand jury and that fully seventy-hve
more are in course Of preparation.
