Down meath the grass. end away from the light,
Is a wee little pod
Just under the sod,
And sleeping so swoetlv out of sight.
She is thinking of Spring
And birds that sing,
While resting and dreaming the long Winter night.
The warm sunshine made her feel all in a culver
This dear little pod
Just under the sod;
The Srring rain came down and how she did
shiver.
She did not feel well
Her brown skin did swell;
Could it be something was wrong with her liver?
She felt her blood corpusces filing and growing
This dear little pod
Just under the sod;
Her head-was she losing it, where was it going?
For up, up it went,
Thro' the sod all intent;
And she felt the first warm breath of Spring blow
ing
The Sun smiled welcome that bright spring day
= # To dear little pod
From under the sod;
An April shower fell on her too by the way;
With tears in her eyes
And look of surprise,
She said have come to a queer world to stay.
This bright little face in bonnet of blue,

Has reflected the light of Heavens own hue.

Bryan, the Dictator.

II Is now universally acknowledged
by most Democrats rs well as Republic
ans that Mr.. Bryan II nominated can
not possibly carry New York state.
and without New York state he cannot
possibly he elected. A great effort will
bc made between now and the Demo
cratic convention to unto upon n can
didatc to defeat Mr.. Bryan, but It hard
ly looks possible. Mr.. Bryan has be-
come the supreme dictator OF the Dem

the Democratic standpoint, then, the
outlook Is very gloomy, and OF course

Smith May Have Trouble.

The selection Of Mr.. Smith, the we'll
known Democratic leader IN Maryland,
for The Senate. TO succeed Senator
Whyte. is chiefly interesting from the
fact that it raises an important ques-
tlon whether the Senate OF the United
States win seat him. IN electing him,
the Maryland Democrats practically de-
fed the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. inasmuch as Senator
Burrows had given il out that under
the plan MT Smiths friends contem-
plated following the election would not
be valid
