Sand Mans Land.

 Nantucket Isle is bare and low And swept by all the winds that
 blow,
 And round it runs 8 shining strand Of smooth and soft and yellow sand. And somewhere, near the golden
 beach,
 Among the liles of the moor. Lurking at hand in easy reach The Sand Man dwells. I'm very sure. Through all the sparkling summer
 day
 Along the beach the children play No other playground meath the sun Can rival this for summer fun There's sand to dig and sand to pile, And shells to find. and b0ats-oh,
 dear.
 There's wading. too; and all the while The sly old Sand Man watches. near. And when the sun and wind all day Have helped the seaside children play, The Sand Man slips from where he
 hides
 And round Nantucket Isle he rides. Above the lighthouse and the mill, Above the harbor and the boats, Along the shore and up the hil'
 At close of day the Sand Man floats And oh! the sand that he can throw! He has so much of it. you know. And oh! the little sleepy eyes That never wait till daylight dies, But close in slumber sweet ana deep An hour before the curfew bells. You cannot wonder at their sleep, For here is where the Sand Man
 dwells.

THE ONE MAN PUNISHED.

Capt. stanley Lord of the steamer California of the Leyland line is the one man punished for the Titanic dis aster and has lost his command
 We cannot believe the public will regard him with the prejudice and disgust that it did MT Ismay, who escaped in a partly full boat when the officers of his line. more manly men than he on the passenger list. and passengers by the thousand drowned.
 It was Captain Lords ship which gave the Titanic warning of the pres ence of large icebergs in the northern route, which should have prompted her officers to more watchfulness or a more southern route; and it is not so averse to human nature that his off, oers should have questioned themselves as to taking the risk of going to the rescue in such field of ice with full knowledge of tle foolhardiness of that disaster
 Commander MacNab of the royal naval reserve and recently a board of trade examiner at Liverpool. says of Captain Lord T am not one to de- fend Captain Lords inaction, but ! ask for sympathy in his terrible mis- fortune in failing to realize that the signals seen by his officers indicated l distress. Captain Lord passed all his board of trade examinations most bril- ! liantly before me, his testimonials for good conduct and ability at sea being invariably of the highest order Since | then l have ever heard him spoken of as a humane and clever officer and commander as well as a kind bus band. a loving father and high-prin- | cipled gentleman
 Since no one else has been punished or even officially blamed for what hap pened to the Titanic. it is simply an | injustice that the captain of the Cali fornia should lose caste and his means | of obtaining a livelihood
 There is nothing that looks like jus | tice in this.

ROOSEVELT Vs. THE STEEL
 TRUST.

IL is the able, glib and daring man who brides himself upon his ability to deceive Being fond of power he plays with 1t as a child plays with a toy This is the kind of a man labor has most to fear whether he is in or out of its ranks.
 IL Is up to US all to know what we are doing when we vote, and to figure out if possible the effect upon us as well as upon the country.
 Twice Colonel Roosevelt has been connected with the Operations of the United States Steel company. first, unoficially when he did not deny it. but in his egotistical way said he as- sumed all the responsibility. and sec ond, when a committee of congress re- ported him connected with a deal by which this trust is alleged to have added s13s.000.000 to it's profits. Col onel Roosevelt has this to explain away satisfactorily. for he cannot afford to remain silent, and unless he does so he is no candidate for labor to support whatever his political pretences.
 If he is helping to increase the DOW CT of the biggest trust in America. q trust which not only monopolizes the ore supply of this country. but grinds down American labor. keeps down all competition. keeps the supply of steel less than the demand and forces prices up. 1t is not helping the working or buying class. It is the kind of a corporation ,Presi- dent Roosevelt used to refer to as "a bad corporation" and this same concern, represented by George w. Perkins, is now supporting the bull moose campaign. and Mir. Perkins is quoted as saying the new party has ample funds back of it.,
 What is there about record of this kind which is inviting to united labor? Can 1t afford to vote for a candidate who favors a concern whose policy it Is to decrease industries to lessen the output. which also means a decrease in the demand for labor?
 Mir. Roosevelts assuming full re- sponsibility for such an act ought not to be considered a satisfactory an- swer.

My Shepherd Dog Prince.

When I was little girl one year and a half old my papa brought me home 3 lovely puppy. only six weeks old. Oh. such cute little Teddy bear. He was so mischievous we had lots of fun with him. But boys. Oh, how he disliked them. for they would tease him so.
 And he has never forgotten it yet, and he is twelve years old.
 When I was a little girl one day I fell when playing. 4 playmate went to pick me up. but no Prince would not let her. so she called my sisters to come, and he stepped one side and wagged his tail, so pleased was he.
 He knows just what you say to him.
 Mamma took him over to our land- lords garden one day four years ago and told him not to ever step into that garden, and never has he attempted 1t.
 The 6th of July was his twelfth birthday and he had an extra nice dinner, and I took him for nice walk.

The Cnoumhor nnIra Eats.

Dear Uncle Jed: I've had a lot of dollies and loved each one so well that which was my favorite I never could quite tell till once I got a new one-she was the queerest doll and if you care to listen I'll try to tell you all. She was a green cucumber and in the garden grew one sunny day. found her when I was poking through the rows of beans and squashes
 A garden is such fun. I've always pitied little girls who never have had one.
 Papa said I might have her for just my very own A little dress ] made her when she was fairly grown and we had some splendid parties. I know she loved me, too My dear cucumber baby. I thought d lot of you.
 One day we had rainstorm It did rain very hard. so l could not play out of doors at all. not even in the yard The other day again l went into the garden to see my cucumber dolly. but she was all broken by the rainstorm.

The RohoIink.

There Is no bird that I enjoy more than the bobolnk. his song is so sweet and so lively. It is real ro1- licking, dancing tune He begins a song on a tree, and then flies, singing, as if he said
 .Oh. be joyful" to everybody, until he drops down into his nest in the grass, or lights on some tall reed near it.
 And how nicely he dresses. too! Just like an old lady in black satin and white cap, with nice fitting kid gloves
 You must not go too near the bobo- links nest. He does not like to have it known where it is; and will never tell you the secret hiding place by going to 1t when you are near.
 Mir Bobolink sings to himself, nc doubt, all the while
 Nobody knows but my wife and l Where our nest and nestlings lie!
 "Chee, chee, chee.' How plain Mrs. Bobolink is in hel drab-colored dress, while he is dress ed up so fne-and how silent. But he is merry enough for two as if his heart was too full of joy tC ! hold it.

NEWSPAPER MEASUREMENTS.

There is no door so wide open for liars as that of the press, and the prevaricator is no more readily de- teeted by the press than by the police. Tho mistakes some people have seen
 In the papers prompts them to say on all occasions when they can feel sure
 of hearing that the newspapers never are right-they cannot be relied upon. The Bulletin feels warranted in saying no lie ever crept into the papers that is worse than this child of preju dice and deception.
 A daily newspaper in the twentieth century has d thousand sources of in formation over which it has no con trol. and through the selishness and | unreliability of contributors it is often l misinformed and made to appear to be wilfully misrepresenting facts when it is the victim of the mistakes of others or of their carelessness or desire to play a joke on the public.
 There are kinds of lying which some papers put a premium upon-about the hen that lays eggs with the in tials of the popular political candi-
 date upon them, the man who has got a scheme for making hens lay Easter
 eggs already colored, the cat that is bringing up a family of pups, etc. Things which amuse the curious with
 out doing harm.
 Injurious falsehoods, libelous state
 ments. all papers guard against be-
 cause it is for their interests to do
 SO; but they are often imposed upon i by the revengeful and interruptions. So long as people are human these meannesses are likely to be repeated
 and to give cause for complaint.
 The wonder is not that papers make
 errors, but that they make so few of
 them. Hundreds are corrected by watchful eyes in every printing office, and still too many get into print It is a fact that if those knowing real facts were as eager to cooperate ! in having the facts printed right as l they are to find fault with errors. there would be much less reason for complaint about newspaper lies.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.


 I wonder if the children notice the birds getting into flocks and preparing to journey south to their winer home. The swallows are getting together to fly to Central America, which is twen- ty-five hundred miles away. It takes them several weeks to congregate and the final assem bly, is usually made on some Island in Long Island Sound, the second or third week in September. have seen the beaches there black with swallows of an afternoon, but the next morning not a swallow was in sight for they had taken their departure and were well on their way. making 75 miles an hour. Perhaps you have mo- tioed that strong -pinioned birds make nothing of flying faster than the cars go But all birds on the telegraph wires are not swallows. for the spar rows are getting together-some to move south to Maryland or Virginia for the winter, and others to forage in the fields. The English sparrow who lives in the city the year round likes to visit the rural buckwheat fields in the fall, and they have their outings with as much regularity as a countinghouse clerk. These hardy lit tie fellows winter as far north as Ca- nadians make hay. and in order to live through the winter make nests deep in the haystacks, as the bank -swal- lows do deep in the bank, for protec- CT. Keep your eyes open and eyes alert! The Wide -Awakes are going to see lots this summer.

The Postage Stamp.

One day l was lying with my brother and sister stamps when a door opened and little girl came in. She handed the lady two pennies for two cent stamp, so I was rudely torn away and stuck on a letter.
 The little girl gave the letter to the lady, who stamped me very hard, and when she took the stamp off l was all black and wet.
 Next day a man came with a. big bag and I was dropped in with other letters and the bag was locked up. and then was put into a wagon and we rode long way. At last the bag was opened and the letters were dropped out and sorted.
 I was put in a box with another let ter and later was given to little boy, who tore me open with his little fingers and read the letter. which was from his little friend who was coming to visit him. At last he took 1t home to his mother, and she read it; then he put it with his treasures
 One day. many years after, when the little boy and girl were man and wife, they went to the desk and took out an old yellow letter with q two cent stamp on 1t. They read the letter over and talked about the years gone by I was the stamp on the letter.

A Day in the Park.

Margaret Merrill clapped her hands for joy when she saw the sun shin ing bright on Wednesday morning, for that was the day planned for the pie nic in the park. and also her birthday
 She was a little bit disappointed when there were no presents at her plate but the disappointment soon passed over with thoughts of the pie nic
 There was a large lake in the park and when the girls arrived they saw a little rowboat moored near by. The name of it was the Water Witch
 Now, Margaret had often said that if she owned a boat, she would call it the Water Witch. She drew near to examine it more closely and sud- denly she gave q scream of delight for written in large letters on a card was: For Margaret Merrill With best wishes for a happy birthday"
 All the girls were anxious to try it and as Margaret could row they were soon gaily rowing across the lake.
 When they left for home they voted 1t the happiest day of their vacation; and Margaret said:
 Tt is my happiest birthday and the Water Witch my best present"
