handed to Geo. Fallstead and Dick"
James. was taken up last week by
Col. Daily in his slightly sheet, the
Shubert Citizen. The Colonel was
honest enough to brand the article,

machine seems to think that these gen
tlemen can in some unknown manner
control the ~utterances of The Tribune
in showing the voter just how these
gentlemen We're treated at the late
a nomination for clerk and judge.
While we admire these gentlemen
for their nerve in standing pat, when
given to understand that the machine
had settled that matter in favor of
the thifd4termefs. We cannot allow
them to dictate a policy for The
Tribune just because the said machine
desires it. These gentlemen were not
the only aspirants turned down by
the machine that insisted upon the
third-termers holding on. Ii they de-
sire their names we can give you
the names of the gentlemen from
Dawson, Verdon and Shubert who
We're told to ''sit down. and who
obeyed the edict. Fallstead and
James did not obey, consequently the

Upon the election of Hutehings,
Gagnon. Fenton. Oliver and the
others. the Falls City News. in the
issue of Nov. 10, 1908, made the
above promise in their behalf.
The questions now arise:
Is the promise of political bosses
worth anything?
Are the voters TO be promised one
thing and four years later be salts

tons have changed?"
Isn't 1t time for the voters-the in

democrats alike-to teach ANY CAN

1t seems that the democratic BOSSES
would keep Gagnon in office forever.
For the fifth time he is running for
that office, Notwithstanding that
Dick James, a young aspirant"
with ability galore, sought the posi-
ton, believing that Gagnon had had
enough. Then, too, the bosses virtu-
ally pledged themselves to James; but
forgot their promise when they found
they couldn't use" him.

it must be Hutchings, Gagnon, Fenton

Of the poor in Hattiesburg have come
to depend upon the Salvation Army as
their friend in their poverty and sor-
row. Not that we dispense aid indis-
criminately, but rather that our help
is prompt and effective and our knowl-
edge of their needs thorough, owing
to the fact that we have officers whose
lives are spent in assisting the poor
and needy, caring for those who have
to battle for mere existence. We are
now in the midst Of our great under
taking, the supplying Of Christmas
dinners in baskets to the poor persons
who. otherwise would go hungry. We
not only take care of them at Christ
mas time, but our officers are ever on
the go, providing food for the hungry,
raiment for the destitute, shelter for
the homeless, work for the unem-
ployed, and in other ways making
lifes burdens lighter by our minis
trations. This is not the first time
we have appealed to the public, not
the first time they have strengthened
our hands, SO that we have been able
to help the needy in their extremity.
A generous response at this time will
enable us to do greater and more ef-
fective work than ever before.
Thanking you for all past favurs.
am yaurs truly,

Cause Of Infant Mortality.

DR.. Homer Folks once prepared statis-
tics showing that one-fifth of all the
babies born in the tenements die before
they are two years old And they die
because of a lack of fresh air. pure milk
and wholesome food, asserts a writer IL
Outing. Before we knew much about
the scientific care OF babies, even mar
ents Of wealth dreaded the terrible s1m-
mer days, when the lives Of their LITTLE
ones hung in the balance.
Now we know that clean milk. clean
surroundings, clean babies, are ali that
are necessary to insure perfect infan;ile
health. In the tenements thew do not
know these things Out of los motbare
who were questioned, seventy-nino had
never heard how to feed their babies
and ninety-tive knew nothing Of the i'm
portance of properly clothing and req
ularly bathing them. An exan;nin >
physician told tenement mother that
her child could not go to the coun+r,,
until her head was absolutely free from

Lonesome Lullaby.

When you're sleepin' sweet, my dearia,
'Gainst my heart that's sad and sore,
And there's just bit outdoors, O. sod
den rain,
And the wind comes tippin' up,
Soft like footsteps to the door
Like the footsteps that I'll never hear
again
Then 1 hold you close, my dearie,
Cause my voice amt tuned to sing,
When I'm thinkin' of the days of Then
and Now,
When across your forehead, strayin',
Is a little yellow ring
Where I used to kiss your feyther on
the brow.
When you're smilin', sweet, my
dearie,
In my arms. as if you knew
That mothers arms were made for sleep
and rest,
o! it's then I can not. look
Cause it hurts me through and
through,
And it's then I hide my face against
your breast
So that 1 can't see, my dearie,
w QSn the Wlnu d-InOdIllE low
And the rain comes down in little,
dreary drips,
The thing that breaks my heart
In the smilin' face of you
Where I used to kiss your feyther on
the lips.
O!the wind has stopped its moanin'
And it's trippin' to the door.
And it's changed in tune for little lone
ly sobs,
And 1 think it's feelin' sorry
For the heart that's sad and sore
And I think it's tal1in' pity on it's
throbs-
And I think it's understanding
Why it's sad 1 am and weary,
And it's come to sort of hang around
the door
That it's in your face I see
O.! my dearie, dearie, dearie,
Where I'll never see your feyther any
any more

Camille Saint-Saens has been unques-

France since the death of Gounod. Like
so many other musicians, he began to
play the piano when quite a child, and
was only II when he composed his first
symphony. He was a friend of Wag-
ner, List anr Gounod, and apropos of
MS first meeting with Wagner an in
teresting story is told. Sam Saens was
sent to the house of the great German
with a letter of Introduction from
friend. On being shown into an ante
room to wait the arrival of his host he
saw a part of the manuscript score of
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1909-08-14

one of Wagner's operas lying on the
piano. Sitting down at the instrument,
Saint-Saens began to play the music,
and SO mastery was his rendering that
Wagner, who was in the next room,
rushed in and joyfully embraced him.
NJ Saint Saens is still as brilliant a
pianist as he is a composer.
