New York, January z29.--A few gains

today. Apparently the most pressing re-

bears professed disappointment at the
quarterly report of the Steel corporation
on the ground that earnings were>not as

Beautiful Hands.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They are neither white nor small,
And you | know, would scarcely
think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form
and hue
A sculptor's dream might be,
Yet are these aged wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me,
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
Though hearts were weary and
sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on
That the children might be glad
l almost weep at looking back
To childhood's distant day.
think how these hands.s,rested not
When mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're growing feeble now.
For time and pain have left the
mark
On hand. and heart and brow.
Alas! alas! the nearing time
And the sad, sad day to me
When meath the daisies out of
sight,
These hands will folded be.
But oh! beyond this shadow land
Where all is bright and fair,
| know full we'll these dear old
hands
Will palms of victory bear
Where crystal streams through end
less years,
Flow over golden sands,
And when the old grow young
again
I'll clasp my mothers hands,

dollars. There is not only a meaty

evading taxes by making false re.

Little Lad.

Little Lad, Little Lad,
Why so gay?
Are your happy feet so light
They 60 prancing all the day?
Is Your heart so full ofjoy,
Is it fine to be boy?
You are never still a minute,
Little Lad.
Little Lad, Little Lad,
Why so loud'
When you frolic by yourself,
One would think there was a
crowd!
Up and down the winding stair,
Finding pleasure everywhere;
Only sleep can make you quiet,
Little Lad.
Little Lad, Little Lad,
Why so dear?
All the world would be desert
Unto lis were you not here,
With the lOve.light in your eyes,
And your questions otherwise
Who could answer all your
queries,
Little Lad?
Little Lad, Little Lad,
Why so still?
Are you tired of happy playing,
All so quickly had your fill?
You have Sickened by the way,
But be swift to health, we pray,
For the house is all too quiet,
Little Lad.
Little Lad, Little Lad,
Why so meek?
Pain has quenched your spirits
fire.
Rest is now your main desire.
Oh, to hear you slam the doorsl
Oh, to hear you dance the floors!
Hasten to your old-time joyance,
Little Lad.

Will some of the Missouri politi-

Why Wilson Was Solicitous.

Now it develops that the soiici-
tude of former Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson for the recognition OF
Huerta had in mind not so much
the morals of the situation as the
successful prosecution claims for
indemnity reaching into many mil
lions. He did not know that this
administration had sworn off on
dollar diplomacy.-Kansasg City

Jesse is a Slippery Fellow.

One of the most slippery individ-
uals in Missouri is jesse TolIerton,
the ex-game warden. The records
show that he left the department of
which he was head badly in debt.
But what does that amount to? The
legacy of debt is something the Re-
publicans of Missouri are in the
habit of leaving for the other fell
