vice Of the Maine statesman III tn
Senate, from l.. V. Murphy, who ha
been connected with the United State
Senate as official reporter of debate
more than 30 years:
Dear Senator: You will not, I
trust, regard ME as presumptuous:
YOU certainly will not regard me as
self seeking, now that you have
retired from legislative life and
have no favors To bestow. when l
express to YOU the profound regret
] feel at your departure from the
Senate-a regret which is shared
by all my associates. than whom
none has better opportunities for
judging Of the value of the SER
Tices of the members Of the exalted
body which they serve. and of
Which YOU have been so long dis
tinguiShfG ornament.
During the more than 80 years of
my connection in an humble ca
no one who has rendered more dis

yourself. Looking back over this
extended period and running my

lustriouS names OF those who have
added to the luSter. the power, and
the prestige of the Senate. | can
recall no one who has more worth

what l have said probably thou

sacrifice of many precious lives and
untold millions of treasure, would

Of the long train Of evils that have

You have never courted public {

different to praise or to blame.
Your own enlightened conscience
has been the chart which has guild

you have been the noblest Roman
Of them all"
Your contemporaries have failed
to do you justice: but when the
history of the times in which you

After Thomas w. Lawson, the fl
nancier. had left his room at the Man
sion House, Poland Spring. after Il
days sojourn. the following verses
were found scratched with diamond
upon one of the large. green Poland
Spring bottles:
THE CRYSTAL SPRING OF POLAND
When the Gods were wandering
Ger this earth and others, TOO.
When all the woods were virgin.
And all the world was new:
They chose for resting places
Nests where pleasures WOO.
'Tis said, and none deny 1t.
Their first and dearest nest.
Was at the magic spring
Rubbing from the breast
OF Poland. Here came the Gods
To drink-and then to rest.
Here clouds and mountains blended
Here skies and lakes were one:
And all through bleakest winter,
And summers fiercest sun,
Poland'S crystal wa,erS
Bright, unceasing run.
And now. long ages after,
We of cruder clay,
Seek PolandS spring of crystal
Sparkling from its cradle gray:
And like the Gods, we drink
And rest, and then-we stay.

Denver Union Stock Yards, March
27-The receipts of cattle were not
heavy here last week but inquiry was
only fairly good. especially for steers
All markets report light demand
for steers at present as packers
claim steer meat is not moving very
readily Prices on steers closed
weak to shade lower than pro-
ceeding week, though there was not
great deal of change. Cows how
ever. were in strong demand and
moved readily at firm to dime
higher prices. Good steers sold at
$5.25 to $5.65 and fancy kinds up to
$6.10 and $6.25 for assorted stuff, the
the latter being higher than these
cattle would have brought at the
river markets. Cows sold at $3.50
to $$5.15 for the good to choice and
fair to good COWS brought $4.OO to
$3.50 Bulls sold firm at s4.0O to
$3.50 for the good grades. Veal calv-
es alcso sold firm at $500 to $500
Feeder and stocker demand very goo
but supply light and the market quiet
Prices remained about the same,
with good steers selling at $500 to
$5.65 and fair to good at $4.25 to
$500. A feature of the weeks cat
tie trade was the sale of a string
of steers to so to California packers,
the first ever sent from this market

strong from this time forward. Re-
ceipts today were 500 head. Demand
good and prices 10 to Is cents higher.
