Mr.. Macbeth had Mr.. Spofford's

Mr.. Macbeth had Mr.. 6pofford's
letter published thinking we
were not aware that Custer coun-
ty was to get the survey, and it
would be welcome news, not
knowing that we knew the gist
of his information several weeks
in advance.
l beg leave to further state
that Republicans as wellas Dem
ocrats, should place Senator
Macbeth's honor on a higher
plane than to attempt to place
at his credit the good and useful
work of one who supported him.
AS for myself, l have more re-
spect for his intelligence than to
believe he would place himself
in position that he would ever
afterwards be branded as a fol-
lower of Ananias and an advO-
cate of DR.. Cook.
Yours truly,
]. NJ. HILL.

The dewitt is a seldom dish
For the one whose ways he wears,
He is immune from hells harpoon
For the DEVILS mark he bears.
Most any imp eau catch the shrimp
Or the lobster in the she'll
But the soul fish is the sole dish
That satan loves SO we'll.
More souls to win to ways of sin,
This is the DEVILS scheme.
From love to lust, to lure to dust,
This is the devils dream.
The world is old but gall and gold
Are wont its ways to win,
Honor must strive to keep alive
But seldom SO with sin.
3 1T now of late it seems that Safe
So oft a nature-faker
Pursues his plan as best he can
Disguised as muck-raker.
When Stanford White began to bite
Old Safe began to draw
And took him in with a bait of sin
And the Evaline of Thaw.
You be old Safe is up to date
In his quest of easv marks,
With hooks and bribes for the fnny
tribes
But be seldom catches sharks.
For those akin to the source of sin
The DEVILS very own
Are not the hatch he seeks to catch
But seeks to let alone.
But though Old Safe seems very great
Tis only for spell.
The game will get him yet, you bet.
So let him go to hell.

A Ballad of Belial.
TBy Clarence +. Eddy.

The devil waits by myriad gates
For you and me and all,
He sets snare for the unaware
That the unaware may fall.
He deals in sin, he sells us gin,
We lose to loaded dice
But still applaud the darling fraud
And pay him double price.
In varied guise his arts he plies,
A fisherman is he
Who deftly sets his hooks and nets
Upon the human sea.
For long beside the flowing tide
He seldom has to wait
By day and night the suckers bite
So briskly at his bait.
To catch a preacher, such as Beecher,
Is his dear delight.
The sport is great nor long to wait
When the hook is baited right.
