An Adventure

Once when 1 was in Cookie Land
A-many miles away,
! went to take sailing trip
Upon the Ice Cream bay.
The boat was In an apple pie,
With gingersnaps for SAILS
But oh! a currant storm arose
And cream puffs grew to gales.
The sea ran high in jelly rolls.
The breakers dashed whipped cream
Upon the stern, rock candy coast;
1 thought I'd have to screaml
The candy mast fell with whack, Y
The piecrust cracked in two, 4.
The sauce-y waves came rushing in,
/ thought: What shall / dor
/ found life preserver then,
A doughnut fat and round
And stuck my head right through the
hole
I knew I'd not be drowned
SO then | swan and swan and swan
Out in the Custard sea,
Until floating island came,
Convenient as could be.
And there upon that dessert isle
l lived six years or more,
Until I'd eaten all the place
And thought I'd go ashore.
So first ] ate the Custard sea,
And next the Ice Cream bay,
Then on the sugar sand l crossed
1t was the incest way.

supperless.
Presently, when Mrs. Warman

and whispered through the door of

some honey in the comb?"

TWO LITTLE ROSES

one merry summer day
Two roses were at play;
All at once they took notion
They would like to run away!
Queer little roses,
Funny little roses,
TO like TO run awayi
They stole along my fence,
They clambered up my wall,
They climbed into my window
TO make a morning call!
Queer little roses,
Funny little roses,
TO make morning call.

sweet and humble and it's petals were

BAY CITY POLICE CHIEF
Resignation of Martin Believed to
Have Been Delivered to
Mayor Mccarthy

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.-That
Chief of Police Martin is prepared to
resume his former position as a re-
tired police captain on half pay is
the general belief around headquar-
ters, where the mayors letter de-
nouncng the conduct of the depart
ment has been the all-absorbing topic
today.
Early in the day it was reported
that Martins resignation was In the
hands of the mayor, and the latter
refused to deny that he had received
the document.
After a conference at the mayors
office, attended by the members OF the
police commission, the special meeting
of that body scheduled for the after
noon was indefinitely postponed
1t is believed that as the result OF
the conference the pension board OF
the police department will, at the re-
quest of Chief Martin, retire him on
half pay, with his former rank OF
captain. This was the position held
by the chief before his elevation to
his present office.
Speculation as to Martins successor
is rife, with the name of Sergeant
John O'Meara most frequently men
toned for the place. 1t is said that
Captain of Detectives Wall will serve
as acting chief until Martins sue
cessor is named.

FORGOTTEN BY CROKER
Former Tammany Chieftain Over
looks Small Deposit on
Leaving U. S.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-Richard
Croker, the former Tammany leader,
who long since changed the place of
his residence from New York to Wan
tage, England, left behind him in
America a small matter of $s99.96,
which he appears to have forgotten
all about.
His name is included in a list of
depositors of Union square bank
who have so much money, or poor
memories, that they have left their
cash lying unclaimed in the vaults
since 1890 and have put the bank to
the trouble Of advertising their names
under the requirements of the state
banking law.
The amount to the credit Of Mr..
Croker is the largest in the list.
The chances are, however, that this
money will soon be reposing with the
rest of Mr.. Crokers cash, for soon
after the advertisement appeared one
Of the sons of the former Tammany
chieftain notified the bank that he
would at once arrange to have his
father make claim for the money.

STRIKES INEVITABLE.

The Los Angeles Citizen says the
nightingale will sing in cage until its
eyes are put out It used to be said in
vindication of slavery, that the slave was
content with his condition. That was the
strongest argument against slavery. Con-
tentmcnt in slavery is the sign of blind
ness.
Discomfort among the working people
IS not sign of inferior but of superior
sensibilities. 1t is not reflection on our
citizenship, but q reflection of it.
There is no use in condemninp strikes.
They are inevitable. They are the revolt
of the ascending soul of man against the
cage life.
Blaming the agitator does not put the
responsibility where it belongs The fact
is, working people are being circumscrib-
ed in their living-they are being confined
in the cage of industrial and social con
ditions-and they cannot be content
Agitator or no agitator, they must
strike Hope or no hope of success, they
must revolt.
Impelled by the spirit that has evoked
the emancipations of the ages, the worker
cannot evade the struggle.

LABoR,s FIRST LAW.

II there is selfshness in the labor I'M
ION 1T IS based upon natural law and not
upon inordinate desire.
" Self preservation, says the old
proverb, is the first law of nature,
The principle, the policy, the party, the
people that neglects this law is doomed
to dismal disqualification.
Is the lot of labor in this country SO
serene, so secure from adverse invasions,
that it can safely ignore the principles
of self preservationi Is it SO protected
by law and so sacred to employers that it
can with wisdom rely on them to safe
guard it's interests7
Is 1t from purely brotherly solicitude
for the American workingman that or
ganlzed capital in amassing millions to
attempt the establishment of the ssopen
shop!' Is it for the benefit of labor in
any shape or measure that the employers
OF this country are seeking to break down
the barriers erected at such sacrifice by
the unions;o r is it to place labor at their
mercy, that they may deal with it on their
own terms and reduce it to a condition
OF subsection remote from every ideal of
improvement and independencee
Lincoln warned labor of surrenderinp
any power it possesses. He knew the
spirit of capital. He knew that the sell
fishness of capital has no bounds He saw
the coming of such condition as exists
today, when capital would exert its every
power to crush out of labor the utmost of
profit for itself.-The Citizen.
