THE MAN IN THE CAN.

Dedicated to the spring poets.)
Safe and snug in the sleeping car
Arc father and mother and dreaming
child;
The night outside shows never star.
For the storm is thick aud the wind il
wild.
The frenzied train in It's all-night race
Holds many assoul in its fragile walls.
While mp In his cab, with smoke.stained
face,
IL the man in the greasy overalls.
Through the hre-box door the hsat glows
white,
The steam is kissing at al the cocks,
The pistons dance and the drive wheels glide
Ger tho trembling rails till the whole
earth rocks.
But never searching eye could trace,
- Though the night is dark and the wind
appalls.
a line Of fear on the smoke-stained face
Ofths man In the greasy overaiis.
No halting, waverinK coward is he,
AZ his engine dashes around the curve.
But q peace-encompassed Grant or Lee,
With a heart of oak and an iron nerve.
And SO ask that you make place
In the Temple of Heroes sacred hslls.
Where may hang the smoke.stained face
Ut the man in the greasy overalls.
NIXON WATERMAN.

boat SONG.

Cut loose, my boy! cut loose your boat,
The lakes before your door;
II you've tub you're sure will float,
Cut loose, and let her soar,
No need to cross the railroad track,
And walk a mile or two
Through mud and dust; just chink tn
cracks,
And launch and 60 few.
Then head her. out for Point of Pines
Al t'twenty-three, skidoo,"
Andteli the man that gets the fines,
He'll have to go some. too
And II you see somebody round.
Who just like racing feels,
Just light right ont. boy, on the bound,
And show them you've clean heels.

Monday was election day. The day
dawned damp and dismal, and then it
showed. Later on it showed again. Yea,
verify.
1t was the most intensely interesting
election ever held in Whitefsh In some
spots it was positively hot.
Early in the morning the ward heclers
and electioneering brigades arrived at
the polling places and the fight was on.
It was a good-natured fight, in COM
parison with what these events some
times are, but it was warm, nevertheless
Among the notable circumstances in
connection with the voting was the in
discriminate challenging Of votes. Prob
ably at least 80 or 40 votes were chal-
lenged during the day, in a few cases the
would-be voters admitting that they were
in the wrong and declining to vote. These
cases were the exception, however.
Early in the day the report was given
out that H. T. Senay, independent can
didate for mayor, had withdrawn from
the race, and the fight started off strictly
between the other two candidates, +. II.
Snyder and q. w. Avery.
There were contests for aldermen. also,
in two wards, the Second and Third, but
the main interest centered in the mayor
atty race.
The vote was as follows:

AMERICAN forests, according 70
the experts of the Department Of
Agriculture, are capable of yield.
ing more wood to the acre, if we'll
handled, than the noted forests Of
Germany, many Of which net their
owners from $3.50 to SO 90 or
more per acre annually. Not only
are our native forests richer in
valuable timber trees, but our eli
mate aud soil conditions are more
favorable. The trouble Is not that
our trees do not grow fast enough,
but that our ignorance and careless
ness have left our woodlands poor
ly stocked.
