ordered.
The street committee wanted two
thousand yards of dirt purchased OF

One of the questions that will be
taken up for debate by the Iowa
mine workers convention Is the build
ing of the labor temple" A strong
sentiment against the erection of a

Z. II. Warning.
list, my soul, Thou'rt quickly sailing
Ger the broad and CLASSY sea,
To the distant. unseen harbor
or the vast eternity.
Now mayhap the winds are quiet,
And the angry pillows sleep,
While the sunshine and the calmness
Oyerspreads the mighty deep.
But anon the Storm King rises,
Blacklist clouds are hanging DER;
Lightnings flash and thunders below
And the sullen pillows roar.
And the rocks hurl back the waters,
AS they dash against the shore,
And it seems the tossing vessel
Can escape the blasts no more.
Yet. my soul, dismiss thy fearings,
Thou the waves shall not o'erwhelm,
For a tried and trusty pilot
Firmly holds the guiding helm.
Past the breakers he will lead thee,
Into milder, smoother seas,
Where the zephyrs shall refresh thee,
And thoult find a favoring breeze.
And from ships that sailed before thee
Friends beloved in days of yore,
Have in joy already landed
On the bright, celestial shore.
And on vessels still to follow,
AS the passing years shall glide,
Others left will all be carried
Ger the ever rolling tide.
Think, my soul, of the blest meetings,
Friend with friend, on that bright
strand,
And the welcomes and the greetings
From the white ROBBED angel band.
And twill be, on one glad morning
Thou wilt round the heavenly pier,
And your hopes complete fulfilling.
And your triumph will be near.
Gone the storms, the pains, the sor-
rows,
And the sins, unknown above;
Come the peace eXcelling telling,
And the life of endless love.
So, my soul, in patient waiting,
And in trust that never fails,
Spend thy days till thy releasing,
Trembling not at fiercest gales.
For beyond the storm and tempest
Lies the sure and perfect rest,
Where, mid bowers of living pleas
ures
Thou shalt be forever blest

Why, Re is still here; lots of him
Fifteen years ago there were IA mil
lion horses in the United States worth
$35 per head. Now there are 20 mil
lion. The automobile has not driven
the horse out of the country. But with
increased numbers has not the market
price of the horse declined? We
might expect it, but it is not so. He
was worth S35 fifteen years ago; now
Sl06. How is the anomaly to be eX'
planned, so contrary to the usual OF
supposed fluctuations of values ac
cording to supply and demand? Here
we have increased Supply-a gain OF
80 1-3 per cent in fifteen years-but
we also have the Increased demand
The latter is to be accounted for by
the increase in population, industrial
activities and wealth. The country
is carrying on more industries and
with increasing wealth. indulging in
more pleasures in which the horse
plays a part.
