l have a servant, calm, unerring, true,
Who has been with me all my present
years;
He shall be with me till this life is
through,
Yet he has often changed my hopes to
fears.
Once he gave me fair roads to stroll upon
And strength to trudge the roughest,
highest hill;
Now through his work my strength is al
most gone
But he remains my constant servant
stili.
Once he gave me rich tables, finely
spread.
Wherat l ate and drank till satisfied;
Now he gives me but simplest drinks and
broad
And by him all the dainties are de-
MED.
Once he gave me the marvel of sweet
To crowd my hours with ever-new de-
light:
But now the measures falter and go
wrong
Where once they rose in true melodious
might.
There was a day he gave me friends who
made
My life as pleasant as life may be.
But now across my path there falls
shade
For he has taken them away from me.
And once he showed me books that
might read,
Wherein 1 had companionship with
thought
Long since he, by a slow, unnoticed deed
Took from me this great gift that he
had brought.
He gave me cunning fingers for my toll
So that 1 wrought my tasks all brave
and glad,
And then he found 1T in his heart to spoil
The craftsmanship my willing fingers
had.
Yet still he Is my servant and shall be;
1 cannot charge him with unfaith or
crime,
Nor may bid him leave my side, for he,
This helpful, harmful servant, is called
Time.

the state have filed their claims with the
commission against the railroads, asking
for this reparation. The lumber mills Of

refund. and are contesting the right Of the
Nebraska lumber dealers, who paid the
freight.

versy. and a delegation Of lumbermen from
Omaha and other towns i'm the state, will
be present at Chicago at the hearing to
protect their claims. A committee composed
