conditions, little attention was paid to
the sounds of political excitement ema-
mating from Chicago last week. Nor
did the introduction Of a series of new
trust bills in congress seem to attract
much attention. The principal SQUIRE
of worriment in commercial circles was
found in the prospects of freight reduc-
tions. due to late late shipments Of coal
incident TO the strike, and the probable
demand for an unusually large number
of cars for grain shipments.
The iron and steel boom has been
augmented by the placing Of large
orders for rails and railway equipment.

to capacity up to February. with some
thing like 100. 900 tons additional orders
in sight.
Special activity has been noted in tex

II LAST

The rich man breathes the atmosphere
the same as you or i;
He cannot see a deeper blue than we do
IN the sky;
He hears the piping of the birds-a
music sweet and clear
But maybe money clinking dulis the
music to the ear.
And yet he has some pleasure that pos
sess a tempting guise-
But he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies.
The rich man piles the money till he
gazes at the heap
And trembles lest it %totter, till he losses
lots of sleep;
The poor man tolls in factory, in office
and in ditch,
And worries over money till he's sleep
less like the rich.
The moneyed man has pictures that
escape the poor mans eyes
But he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies.
The rich man cannot eat more than just
one meal at a time,
Nor more than his ten pennies will
exceed the poor mans dime;
One suit of clothes is all that may at
once his form adorn,
He wore TO more than o men do, the
day that he was born.
And he is just as honest, and his false
hoods are plain lies
And he can't die any deader than the
poor man dies.
There may be some philosophy in lifting
up a moan
Because the rich man rides while the
poor mar walks alone;
Because the rich man has his gold to
buy his goodly cheer
And yet there'l come a time when he

had strayed from the upiands ON to

floating flock was observed from the

best to secure them both by hooks and
