Idle Thouohts.

There are days for idle dreaming
When the world Is void and stll
And the morrows promise tenure
or the yielding, placid Will;
When the present holds no shadows
And the past IL vague and far:
When the heart forgets it's bruisinss
And the wounds betray no scar.
There are Idle days unnumbered
When the vision Is enthralled,
When the hearing lists to voices
That In former days have called
And renewed In timely musings
To repeat In phrase and tone
What must come to waken power
In the realm OF dreams alone
There are idle days and moments
When an inspiration flares.
In ambitions name TO quicken
Thoughts that haunt us nawares.
And they pass beyond the yearnlng
To filflllment and the end:
Had one idle moment faltered
Time could not Its loss amend.

This done, the dishes will be virtu-

Optimistic Over Colonel's Chances.

Judge Noah Allen, who during the
past six weeks, has been stumping
northern states in the interest of the
progressive party's candidate for the
presidency, is now en- route home,
and tonight will be the leading
speaker before a bull o rally at
San Antonio. 1t is expected he will
arrive in Brownsville Saturday
night.
That Judge Allen is optimistic
concerning the colonel's chances to
win the highest honor within the
gift of the people Of the United
States Is evidenced by a few passages
in a letter received by Mrs. Allen
yesterday, dated Rock Rapids. Iowa.
In part, he writes:
Roosevelt sentiment continues TO
grow, and naturally the Taft organs
and advertisements are harping
about 'Taft's growing strength II
so, I have not found it. Wilson is
not holding his strength in the
states in which l have been, and
think he was stronger three weeks
ago than he is today, and stronger
today than he will be next Tuesday
