THE GREAT PROCESSION.

Harriet Prescott Spofford.
Did you ever happen to think. when dark
Lights up the lamps outside the pane,
And you look through the glass on that
wonderland
Where the witches are making their tea
in the rain,
OF the great procession that says its
prayers
All the world over, and climbs the stairs,
And goes to a wonderland OF dreams,
Where nothing at all is just what 1t
seems? 3
All the world over az O'Clock,
Sad and sorrowful, glad and gay,
These with their eyes as bright as dawn,
Those almost asleep on the way,
This one capering, that one cross,
Plated tresses, or curling floss,
Slowly the long procession streams
I'D to the wonderland Of dreams
Far in the islands of the sea
The great procession takes up its way,
Where. throwing their faded Flower
wreaths down,
Little savages tire of play; ID.
Though they have no stairs to climb at
all, t
And 90 to sleep wherever they fall,
BY the seas soft song and the stars soft
They are off to the wonderland of
dreams. ..

why Telegrapherr Arc scarce.

Why Telegraphers Are Scarce.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, Oct 22-To
the Editor of The Bee; Some few days
ago read that the Omaha public schools
were placing telegraphy in their school
course, the course to be paid for by the
railways because ''telegraphers were
scarce"
Now do they make any sort of an ex-
PLANTATION as to why teiegraphers are
scarce? Don't you think it would be
just little fair to the average boy that
he should know little about what It
really means to be telegraph operator,
especially in railway service?
AS usually represented it's short hours
and about an average of $50 or $50 to
begin with. when the truth of the matter
is that the average railway operator re-
ceives an average of go per month and
works nine to twelve hours. The law
says nine hours. but IL the time is divided
so as to be called "spllt trick" it can
be made twelve hours.
Another point to consider is school
operators" are mighty poor ones. Usually
he must be able to help with station
work. l. G., something like this: Help sell
tickets, make expense bills, check bag
gage and help handle 1t (only very good
sized towns have a regular baggage
agent)-some railways handle cream
sweep the station keep the lamps clean
and, oh, yes--telegraph.
Say, if you don't believe this just &c
out over the line and ask few Of the
boys But you ask, what about dis
patchers? ASK them how long and how
hard they worked in order to be proficien
enough to attain that position and thu
munificent sum of SIPS to SITS per month
according to location.
And where will your operator get hi
station learning and experience? No
from the agent you can believe. He
got his hands full with his own Job evei
II he wanted to teach someone else II
help lower his own wages.
I am writing from fifteen years in tn
business in five different states with tw

am considered a good man, in fact tn
best in my line, yet l work twelve hour
at hard labor for the great wage Of 81
and handle express in the bargain,
Does this look as though telegraphy an
