Mere surface shadow and sunshine,
while the sounding unifies all!
One love, one hope, one duty theirs!
No matter the time or ken,
There never was a seperate heart

But alien is one--of class, not race
he has drawn the line for himself;
His roots drink life from inhuman soil,
from garbage of pomp and pelf;
His heart beats not with the common
beat, he has changed his life-strain's
hue;
He beams his flesh to be finer flesh,
he boasts that his blood is blue.
Patrician, aristocrat, tory-whatever
his age or name,
To the peoples rights and liberties,
traitor ever the same.
The natural crowd is a mob to him,
their prayer a vulgar rhyme;
The freemans speech is sedition, and
the patriots deed crime.
Wherever the race, the law, the land,--
whatever the time, or throne,
The tory is always traitor to every
class but his own.
Thank God for a land where pride is
clipped, where arrogance stalks
apart;
Where law and song and loathing Of
wrong are words of the common
heart;
Where the masses honor straight for
ward strength, and know, wher
veins are bled,
That the bluest is putrid blood-that
the peoples blood is red!

SNAKE SCARED THE EMPLOYEES
Poisonous Reptile Among the Archives
of PortugaI's Peers.

Some time ago it was reported in
the press that while workmen were
searching for certain documents in
the archives of the house Of peers sew
eral snakes appeared from among the
dust-covered volumes.
The panic-stricken employees imme-
diately fed, and absolutely refused
to return to such a dangerous occu-
patton.
The presence Of the snakes has
never been accounted for
Recently, however, all the docu-
ments were carted to the underground
archives Of the ministry of the in
terror
Recently it was reported in the
press that while the documents were
being sorted out a fat-headed snake
suddenly wriggled out, biting the en-
ploye on the lip. 1t then disappeared
among the piles of documents. Half
an hour later the man died in terrible
agony. The body turned black and
was horribly swollen.
Notwithstanding the government Of
hcials' entreaties, all the employees re-
fuse to descend to the archives.

CAME SLOWLY INTO PORT,
TWO TUGS ACTING AS RUDDERs
American Line Steamship ST. Louis,
"a Hours Behind Schedule-Mishap
1900 Miles East of Sandy Hook.

New York, Feb. 1.-The American
line steamer ST. Louis, which lost the
two lower sections of her rudder in the
heavy seas twelve hundred miles from
Sandy Hook, reached her dock late to-
day, about twentyfour hours behind
her schedule. She steamed in by her
twin screws, at reduced speed, and two
tugs acted as rudders for her coming
up the bay.
There was no excitement among the
passengers after the accident. They
were kept in ignorance of the mishap
until Friday, when a bulletin was
posted in the saloon explaining the
cause of the ships slow progress.
Capt. John c. Jamison said he and
his first officer were on the bridge on
Thursday afternoon when they noticed
something had gone wrong with the
steering gear. An unusually heavy sea
had been running for hours, and the
big ships rudder was often out of wa
ter as she dipped and tossed.
I'VE slowed down and by looking
over the stern gunwales, as the stern
would life out of the water, we were
able to make out that the two lower
sections of the rudder were gone" said
Captain Jamison. After the acct
dent we kept a uniform speed of fif-
teen knots. steering with our propel-
lers. and except for the resulting loss
of time but little inconvenience was
experienced"
Captain Jamison said there were
storms and unusually rough weather
all the way across.
The St Louis made circle in mid
ocean to adjust her compasses just
before the accident happened.
1t will be necessary to drvdock the
liner to repair her rudders. Permis-
sion was obtained from the govern
ment authorities No use the Brooklyn
navy yard drydoek. 1t is likely she
will be taken there after her cargo
has been unloaded.

MIDDLEToWN HIGH SCHOOL
Not Large Enough to Accommodate
Glasses.

The members of the Middletown
board of education have practically
decided to call special meeting Of
the voters of the city school district
to consider whether it is best to erect
an addition to the present high school
building at cost of between $4,000
and 5000 or to refuse tuition to nom
resident pupils and keep the present
building as it is for the sole use of
city residents. The matter has been
agitated for some time and has been
been made more acute bya commune
cation from Secretary Hine of the state
board inclosing a report from Prof.
Judd of Yale, who examined the school
last year. First of all Mr.. Hine says
that the school is approved for non
resident tuition purposes for the cur
rent year. and secondly, that they
recommend that the accommodations
at the school be enlarged and that a
propOrtionate tax for the support Of
the school be raised in the city.

Extreme BUSINESS is a symptom Of
deficient vitality; while faculty for
idleness implies a catholic appetite
and strong sense of personal identity.
There are dead-alive, hackneyed peo-
pie about, who are scarcely conscious
of living except in the exercise Of
some conventional occupation. Bring
these fellows into the country or set
them aboard ship, and you will see
how they pine for their desk or their
study. They cannot be idle. Their
nature is not generous enough, and
they pass in a sort Of coma those
hours which are not dedicated to furi-

they do not require to go to the Office,
when they are not hungry and have
no mind to drink, the whole breathing
