EARLY JULY 4 POEM.

Celebrated Independence DAY.:

1t Tells How Our Great grandfa therS
Celebrated independence Day.
Poets, great and humble. have sung
Of Independence day. The Revolution,
Of course, gave birth to it's full quota
Of spirited and patriotic verse, and it
has been gathered between covers,
but the poetry dedicated to- the Fourth
! of July, though doubtless not easily
comprised in a small space. seems not
to have been collected by any curious
or deyout American. But beautiful
and inspiring verse has none the less
! been written. Z.
Here is a poem, though not in a
stately measure. that is good fun and
worth republication. 1t was written
by Royal Tyler about 1898. 1t is call

Rye Pasture for Pigs.

For fall filters there is nothing quits
equal to patch of rye. On rye they
and their dams will be more healthy
and growthy. In an open winter or
where ground is not covered with snow
the rye field will furnish almost ideal
green feed for fall pigs at weaving
time. Where green feed is not pro-
vided it too often happens that little
Or no growth is secured on fall pigs.
In that case the profit, is lacking.

A gentleman who recently visited the
Union Printers Home at Colorado
Springs said among the 40 residents
there he was only able to find one who
admitted that he was a printer. Al.
the others were editors and foremen.
1t was much this way at the annual
stag dinner OF the Colorado Pioneer
Printers Monday night in the Electric
Club rooms, Chamber of Commerce
building. OF the 75 members and guests
present there were lawyers, doctors.
Judges, proprietors OF papers and print
shops, politicians, officeholders, all OF
whom professed to be proud OF having
at the beginning OF successful carccrs
worked at the case"
o. L. Smith, president OF the Smith
Brooks Printing Company, was sue
cessful toastmaster and gave evidence OF
having had proper early schooling in the
composing room by the witty manner
in which he introduced and disclosed
the foibles OF the various impromptu
speakers. He was referred TO A.

old boys knew him before he became
boss of the shop.

when ladies will be invited TO grace
the occasion. In order to be eligible
as bona fidc member one must have
worked as printer in Colorado prior to
1855. The roster of membership con-
tains the names of many men in this
and other states who have achieved
fame in nearly every avenue of human
endeavor. 1t was stated. however. by
the toastmaster in an apologetic tone,
that none OF the pioneer printers had
become preachers. therefore the office
of chaplain yet remains vacant.
letter was read from President
James NJ. Duncan of the International
Typographical Union expressing his
pleasure at having become member OF
the society during his recent trip to
Colorado. Duncan established eligibility
by working on the Rocky Mountain

PRESSMEN.

The web and job pressmen OF st.
Paul have consolidated and now form
one organization. In reference TO this
movement the Minnesota Union Advo-
cate says; This marks a very happy
event and shows the tendency in the
trade union movement. Heretofore there
have been two Pressmen's Unions in st.
Paul, each controlling its special line
of work. This arrangement meant du-
plication of the work and expense OF
maintaining two organizations without
increasing the efficiency of either. With
but one organization the united Press
mems Union will have more power and
proportionately less expense. The hope
and intention is that the new arrange
ment will be made mutually beneficial
to the web and commercial pressmen."

because her husband was nominated for

leaders Of that party made the dedue-
tion that Mrs. Timberlake would sup

the second high office in managing the

IL a shortness of funds reported at

who have hitherto been able to reap n
rich harvest in political campaigns are
not gathering any easy money. This
Is largely accounted for from the new
headless ballot, which knocks the blocks
from under combined political party nc.
tion. Each candidate is conducting his
own fight. spending his own money and
depending on his own efforts principally
for success. "Fixers" are out of a Job
because there is no place where they can
do effective work under strict limita-
tons of the new election law. Each
voter must mark his or her own ballot

.::.:
II Is estimated that from three days
to weeks time will be required TO
obtain complete results OF the election
this yeay under the new system OF vot-
ing. In close contests a longer period
may be necessary. There will be no
separation OF straight tickets from
"scratchcs.f for in effect they viii all b.
scratches" with the headless ballot.
Regardless of most explicit directions
issued by the elections commission. there
j. bound to be more or less lack OF uni
formity in the method of counting. so
that arrival at totals will be difficult.
Recent action OF a Denver court in as
sessing expense of an election contest
on judges and clerks who were careless
is sure to result in more care being
taken in the many precincts. and this
will cause delay in reporting the final
count. In some of the heavy voting
precincts it will take all Of the night
following election and next day to count
the vote. In Denver there are 100 names
ON the ballot and l6 referred measures.
OF the lG0 candidates 5s are for state
and congressional offices, p for State
Senate, four to be elected, and 81 for
the House of Representative, IL to be
elected. The voter who passes nothing
up will be required to mark 45 separate
Ms on the ballot. This is the first time
the people OF Colorado have had an OPP
portunity OF clecting United States
senator by direct vote.
1t is encouraging to note the interest
being taken by members of organized
labor in the present campaign. The Col

Elkins Captures
A Child Deserter
Sheriff Elkins Returns From North
Dakota With Grin BoIlum.
Deserter of His Family.

Sheriff Frank Elkins returned Tues
day night from Crosby, N. D., where
he caught Grin Bollum, formerly an
employee of the International com
pany in this city, but who deserted
his wife and babies last spring.
Bollum had a fairly good position
with the company here, it is said,
but reports which reached the ears of
Manager Eales led the latter to in
vestigate, and he informed Rollum,
so it is reported. that unless he mend
ed his ways with respect to his fam
lily ties he could not hold his job.
Later Bollum suddenly left town,
leaving his wife with three babies to
care for, with prospects of a further
increase in the family in the curse
of two or three months.
The Sherins aseertained that the
company here was owing Bollum a
certain sum of money and before the
latter could draw it they bounced
upon it for the benefit of the desert
ed wife.
Sheriff Elkins has been trying to
get trace of Bollum ever since he de-
camped, and two different times he
has had news concerning him, but
upon both occasions Bollum gave him
the slip before the sheriff could freeze
his paws on him.
Recently, however, Mr.. Elkins was
informed that his man was at Crosby.
