SPRING..


l heard mystic whisper in the breeze.
/ caught love-god signing mid the trees.
And was all enraptured by a SPELL
Sweet Joy of Life
Wrought by goddess gliding through the
dell
Hear the signing and the crying
Such gentle lOyeIike signing
With its wild extravagances
Of departings and advances
Such an inconsistent signing
Now entreating, now defying:
Goddess. stranger fair. t is JOY of thee
that sighs!'
o the lightsOme songs and laughter,
And the glad tears coming after
From hearts too light for telling what
they feli:
the moments. how they steal
Seeming glad they are to steal
All too soon to other happy summer skies
And yet a mystic whisper in the breeze
And still a love-god signing mid the
trees,
ana Memory,s enraptured by a spell
Grand, woraless song,
wrought by goddess gliding through
the dell.

SPRING.

Spring is the brightest time of all the
year.
For then come the showers
Which bring all the flowers
That we all like so much.
They brighten our wearied thoughts
After the long winter months
Who is the one that does not care
For the flowers that look so fair?
For on a spring morning. when you rise.
You will meet with a joyful surprise

IN JOYFUL SPRING.

What is fairer than in spring
When we start cur housekeeping?
Wash day with it can't compare.
Quilting time is out for fair;
Carpets are all Up, the floors
Bare and dusty, and the doors
Squeak upon their rusty hinges.
While the cobWebs hang in fringes
Then when mealtine comes around.
What a gay and joyful sound
Dust on everything. dust in everything
Spring, spring, spring.

NEBRASKA MEN
GIVE REASONS
Believe Majority of PopuIists
at st. Louis Convention
Were Subsidized.

Omaha, April 4.-The Nebraska delega-
ton. which bolted the Populist conven-
non at ST. Louis. on arrival home today
issued statement 10 the press in ex-
planation OF their action. They declare
that the old-time Populists were for the
most part absent from the convention.
ana that the management OF the gathering
showed a total disregard for parliament
t9ry usage and the rights Of the accred-
tied delegates. The statement charges
that when the national committee meet
ing was held the committeeman from
those states in which Populism had be-
troll were not notified and the appor-
tionment OF delegates was made so as
10 give control of the convention 10 the
delegates from states many Of which
never cast a Populist vote. Says the
statement:
I'VE believe the Whole thing was
financed land they seemed to have plen-
ty of money by the men or man who
has organized what is known as the In
dependence league. hoping thereby to ef
feet the downfall of both Bryan and Wat
SON"
Incidents are cited OF what are termed
comic opera proceedings and the del
iegates say that when they realized the
fraudulent character of the meeting they
withdrew. The statement closes with the
claim that the state OF Nebraska has the
only legally constituted Populist party
in the United States. and the announce
ment that when q convention is called and
composed OF legally selected delegates,
they are ready TO take part.

oldest Man Ever Arrested.

David Hill, 80 years old and one of
the best-known colored men in Rhode
Island, has the distinction of being
probably the oldest man ever arrested.
He was in a grocery store with his dog,
of which he is very fond. The grocery
man kicked the animal out of the
place. Hill created a disturbance, and
was arrested on the technical charge
of "reveling," and passed the greater
part of Saturday and Sunday in a cell.
He pleaded not guilty, and was dis
charged. The Prosecuting Attorney.
Comrade West, testified to the court
that he had known Hill for many
years, that he was a slave, but had
joined the Union army and fought for
the country. The old man, who makes
a living by doing chores. is very popu-
lar on account of his kind heart and
willingness to help those who were un-
able to help themselves. Hill's age is
authentic, and he has been working
around Providence for the last 40 years.

GEORGIA.
A state Of Great natural Resources.

A State of Great Natural Resources.
Surely Georgia must be a mighty fine
place. A group Of gentlemen from
Georgia stood in the New Willard chat-
ting, and when The National Tribune
man was assimilated as a constituent
of the group they were talking about
Georgia. That is how the N. I. man
found out what he has just stated. Said
Mayor Tiedeman, of Savannah: 'Geor-
gia is the finest place in the world. We
have the best climate, the best soil, the
best waters, the best products, the best
people,"
said George F. White Of Macon:
mo doubt about 1t at all! What Is
more, at the rate we are growing We
will by-and-by have the best politics.
for the day of invariable adherence to
any political party is about closed with
us. We now very often vote our con-
victions and not party name, and
that will be the general custom In
very short time"
Said Mr. George W. Brinson, of Sa-
vannah: I'VE are becoming so impor-
tant in business that we forget politics.
and when man forgets politics until
he has to do his voting he Is apt to
vote with business discernment and real
patriotic enthusiasm"
Said another: 1--WE have immense
acreages of land ready for reduction to
production. The man Of the North who
is looking for new nome WOuld De-
come a Georgian on the instant IL he
could see what the possibilities of cui-
tivation are"
Mr.. White added: "Our vegetables
land our fruits are superior to any grown
in other soils, and therefore find well
coming market and bring prices above
those of otherwheres, and we get the
really desirable markets. because, while
| Florida beats us, they have the very
early market. leaving the early for us,
and we have 1t without competition"
Said the Mayor: "It don't matter
what you plant around Savannah or
north of it or west of it for days trav-
ell, what you put into the soil will grow
and yield a profitable harvest. You
may plant vegetables or cotton, plums
| or posies, and when you plant you Will
know that a good crop will follow"
Mr.. White came again with an invi-
tation to home-seekers: There is Geo.
| w. Brinsons railroad; he is building
out from Savannah; opening up a grand
country for settlement. And the Sa-
vannah, Statesboro & Northern Rail-
road, that is going ahead, opening up
new country that Is sure to be snapped
up by people who want to make homes
in a good climate. where cultivation is
pleasant and products profitable"
