A Long Time.

Way off yonder in the distance
There's big and yellow moon,
Where the birds with sweet persistence
Sing again the summer tune
Way off yonder there Is June.
In the meantime twill be showing,
Thawing, freezing, fercely blowing;
In the meantime we must listen
To that speaker or to this 'un;
Platitudes must be expounded
Though we doze while they are sounded
We must hear among the patter
OF the hail the self-same chatter:
Same old actors take their stations.
Same old plots and situations,
Same old friends dead-broke-it's funny
Same old people making money!
So we'll plod the winter through.
And the merry spring time too.
Hear the echoes in the distance
Underneath the yellow moon,
Singing with sad persistence,
Faint and far this mournful tune:
Gracious, but it's long till June!'

This Happened in Baltimore.
From the Baltimore American.

1t is SO rarely the case that a corpora
ton takes the initiative in suggesting a
satisfactory basis for Its taxation that
the action in this regard of the Con-
soldated Gas Company deserves acknowl-
edgement. Through its attorney, Mr.
Francis K. Carey, 1t announces it's readi-
ness to have substituted for the present
system of taxation a gross-receipts tax
that shall recognize the principle of an in
creasing tax rate. This is an enlightened
move. That company has shown a spirit
of cooperation with the people in various
ways. and has proved itself to be above
practices that have brought similar com.
panies elsewhere into disrepute.

Taft's Bow to Hughes.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FTOn tnP FhlIaueIpn1a Ieu9cr.
Secretary Taft'S letter may be called
a ruse by politicians but it's spirit Is
too admirable for construction which
places it among canvassing tricks. When
good faith, courteous regard for an op.
ponent's rights and thought of party in
terests will explain the action. why &c
to the pains of hunting for a selfish
cunning? Mr.. Taft has done these things
before. The gumshoe method has never
been laid to his account. 1t Is entirely In
the line of his life that he should take
high ground in contest with Gov
Hughes.

BY an esteemed person apparently in a
state Of some excitement the following
questions are addressed to the Sun:
Read Taft's letter to Parsons? What

We have read the letter. What we
think now is that the Hon. William
Howard Taft has had the wit to perceive
that somebody of strenuous political i'm
pulses was fast getting him into the fifty
eighth kind of a pickle.

Four checks, totaling about $50, were
offered by Lyle and accepted by the

one for the youth on the street for ten
dollars as personal favor and was
much astonished to find that during
his absence a check for similar
amount had been cashed. The two
checks aroused his suspicious and In

velopments showed that two other
checks were passed Off at the Crescent

the busy little city from Shoshone.
Twenty-one teams were engaged in the
work and Mr.. Geo. Allen, the Jerome
business end Of the yard, says that the
lumber is being purchased by the
ranchers so fast that it is a question
whether the sheds can be entirely fin-
ished while the rush is on. Mr.. Allen
also stated that over fifty teams we're
constantly hauling lumber into Je-
rome and that from one point near the
town large number of new ranch
buildings could be counted all in the
