COMMEMORATIVE VERSE.

The following verses are taken
from the Young Eagle, a paper
published by the students of Sinsin-
nawa Mound, and were composed by
Sister Leo, in memory of her mother,
Mrs. Catharine Tierney, who died a
short time ago:
Home and Mother.
The dearest word our English tongue
can speak
Is home. For home is where a
mother dwells;-
When for her loss we hear the
toll of bells, 90
Another name than home we sadly
seek.
For one unselfish, gentle, kind, and
meek,
From children's loving hearts the
grief-flood wells,
While sorrows bitter tide DER mem
DRY swells,
And 10! our Home lies far beyond
the peak
Our house is open still for those
we love;
The>yoice that made it home is
stilled in death;
The hand, whose welcoming clasp
made home Joy,
Has reached beyond and grasped
the things above, ~
And we must wait till He who is
. our Breath
81 Bids Home, where mother-love
knows no alloy.
The dignity of womanhood, her
crown;
Her maiden modesty. her mantle
. fair;
She bore with queen-like grace
each homely care,
Nor cared to win what worldlings
call grenown.
The poor and erring never knew
her frown5
Her deeds of kindness like to
gems most rare
Bedeck the marriage-robe she now
doth wear.
Since she hath laid her earthly burd-
en- down.
The smile of joy that lit her face
in death
Like wireless message from the
better world
Reavealed the peace that passeth
mortal ken;
All! twas the passing of an
angels breath
That waited home the ship with
white sails furled
And anchor cast within Gods Port
again. l..

KIND WORDS FROM JUDGE SEEDS

The following extract from re-
cent letter received from Judge
Seeds, Deputy Auditor of the War
Department, tells about the lecture
which Manchester people will have
the privilege of hearing without mon
ey and without price in the near
future:
In this issue OF, the Democrat 1
notice that you state that possibly
Mr.. Satterlee will be in Manchester
and speak to the people upon the
Forestry question l do not know
of any one who has a more thorough
knowledge on this subject than 81.
b., and If the people desire to know
what the Government is doing along
these lines and the reasons for SO
1oing, and at the same time wish to
be entertained by very intelligent
and instructive address, they should
&c and hear him. His experience for
years has been in this service and
his knowledge of trees and the con
ditions surrounding them, from the
time he was able to know any thing,
is of such a character as to make IL
certain that he will give you some
thing worth hearing.

A TARIFF TO SWELL MONOPOLY
VALUES.

Even as staunch republican or
gan as the Dubuque Times Is OPP
posed to some features of the Payne
bill, especially the tax on lumber.
No democrat could impraye upon the
argument and logic of the following
article which we copy from the Times
There is no good commercial or,
economic reason why Canada and
the United States should not sus.
pend their duties of every sort on
lumber and leave the forest proudcts
of each country to- seek their natur-

THE MEANING OF THE REvoLH
TlON IN TURKEY.

sasSSVN ttN tOnNGUs
There are more Christians than
Turks in European Turkey, and moro
Arabs than Turks in Asiatic Turkey.
but the Turk has been the dominant
and governing race in that country
ever since Mohammed the Great
wrested Constantinople from the
Christians ass years ago.
The triumph of the Young Turks
is a yicory for both the Christians
and the Arabs. For the, first time
in the history of Turkey the Chris
] tians have been enrolled and armed
as soldiers. A battalion of Christ
ians lead the advance of the army
that captured Constantinople last
Saturday. And the COMMANDMENTS
chief of the constitutional forces is
an Arab.
The Young Turks stand for union,
and progress, for federation, for mod
ern schools, and for government by
the people, regardless of creed or
nationality. They have a platform
of principles that, any people might
desire to conjure with, but the old
Mohammedan religion stands like a
mountain across the way to union
and progress"
Turkey is large country. With
out taking its African possessions
into consideration it's area is about
as large as France, Germany, Aus
tria-Hungary and Italy combined. 1t
has been a decadent nation for sew
eral generations. on account of its
abhorrent form of government and
brutal customs.
Will the triumph of the Young
Turks arrest this national decay, and
face the country toward the rising
sun? 1t is possible, it may be prob
able, yet fpr a considerable time it
will seem unbelievable to very many.

GADRols SEEN IN MEMPHIS.

F.
i'll its issue of last Sunday the fol.
lowing bit of news concerning VIM.
iGadbois, who was associated with
Barney Hanson and old Man. Moore
in the Masonville bank robbery two
years ago.
An echo of tho Masonville bank
robbery in which Garney Hanson
Bib" Gadbois and "Olt Man. Moore
participated two years ago, was heard
in Dubuque Saturday when r.. X.
Stickney a kinodrome operator at a
local theater, told oftseeing Gadbois
at Memphis, Tenn, three months af-
ter the robbery. Stickney is now in
Dubuque and in conversation with a
few friends spoke interestingly of his
meeting Gadbois.
DRESSED IN STYLE.
81 was employed in Dubuque" said
Stickney, when the AIasonville bank
was robbed. Gadbojs and 1 were
working in the same theater here and
L met and talked with him every day
for several months. When the bank
was robbed they told me Gadbois had.
q hand in it and that he escaped. 1
did not see him around Duhuque for
a long time and then j was trans
ferred south by my company and was
located at Memphis, Tenn. This was
about three months after the bank
robbery. 1t was. theneI next saw
Gadbois. He was Sdressed for fair
and looked prosperous.
MET ON STREET.
81 was passing up the street one af-
ternoon' and noted aStall man In the
crowd. His face looked familiar and
l looked again. 1t was no other one
than Gadbois. He recognized me and
smiled slightly, but did not stop.
Where are you living?' I~said. Up
at the big hotel, he replied. I knew
he meant the principal Nhctel of the
city, so after supper | went up and
looked around for him. OF course he
was not registered as Gadbois, but !
= ~
did not get to see him again.
WORE SILK TILE.
"Bill wore high silk tile. which
was new, and a long black minister
| ial coat, which almost touched his
shoes. He had acquired a mustache
re leaving and his, appearance
lsinceS he left the janitors job at the
theater was very much changed and
and one who did not know him well
would not haye recognized him., l
lam satisfied that he had teen around
Memphis for some time, but think
he left there after he saw me, be-
cause did not see him there again. :"
BOOTY NOT LARGE.
1t will he remembered that two
years ago this spring Gadbois, with
Hanson and Moore, 10th Of whom
are Dubuque residents, wrecked the
vault of the Mssonville bank with
|nitroglycerine and secured about
$1,000. They made their getaway
from Masonville all right, brtii were

tracked in the snow to barn a few
