A SONG.
By JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.
copyright 1887, 1898, by James Whitcomb
Riley.l
~HERE is ever a song somewhere
my dear
There is ever something sings
II Away.
There's the song of the lark when
the skies are clear
And the song of the thrush when the
skies are gray.
The sunshine showers across the gram
And the bluebird trils in the orchard
tree;
And in and out, when the caves dip rain.
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
Be the skies above or dark or fair.
There is ever a song that our hearts may
hear
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.
There is ever a song somewhere.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
In the midnight black or the midday
blue.
The robin pipes when the sun is here'
And the cricket chirrups the whoie nlght
through.
The buds may blow, and the trult may
grow
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
scar,
But whether the sun or the rain or the
snow
There is ever a song somewhere, my
dear.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
Re the skies above or dark or fair.
There is ever a song that our hearts may
hear.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.
There is ever a song somewhere.

MESSAGE of a Banknote.

Writing on a banknote once freed
an English slave. The note came into
the hands of Liverpool merchants
cashier. He examined it, noticed some
red marks on the back and by the law
ish use of time and ingenuity deci-
phered the message. 1t ran: eff this
note should fall into the hands of John
Dean of Longhill, near Carlisle. he
will learn thereby that his brother is
languishing a prisoner in Algiers.'
John Dean was found, and he applied
to the government and interested the
prime minister, who stirred the for
eign secretary into action. Inquiries
we're made, and the dey, by golden ar
guments, was persuaded to release him
For eleven years he had been galley
slave, and he had written the message
in blood with a splinter of wood. His
release came in time to allow him to
die at home.-LondOn Telegraph.

the doors of these groggeries, chop
their way inside, throw out the stuff
they find, and give notice that it
business is resumed they will next
time visit their wrath upon the dirty
backs of the "blnd-pig" keepers
with cowhides, ready to sprinkle
salt into the open wounds they make.
We hold no brief for the pro-
hibitionist; we have no argument
with the well behaved man who
wants to take drink at his home
or among friends; we are not at
lacking individual rights; the de-
cent man who thinks that he is
better off now and then for taking
drink, always finds way to get it
and.keep it at his home.
But we are taking a. last stand
between decent, fair Washburn,
always in the preponderance as tc
numbers, and the damned men who
have reared their lowsy backs up in
our faces and defed us.
Shall we accept the challenge!
You do not have to be temper
ance man to see the right or wrong
of this issue.
Shall law become a mockery?
Shall we admit defeat and say that
we will turn this splendid city over
to the "blind-pig" owners? Shall we
listen to those representing the law
who say "We have no evidence; get
us the evidence and then we will
act?"
A king fddled while Rome
burned.
Let the men and women of this
city first demand that every illicit
saloon be not merely raided and
allowed to resume, but raided, bro
ken up and the owners driven from
the city. If this fails in given
time, let us have a vigilante COM
mittee-such as have done so much
good in past years in some parts OF
the country-,and do the work our
selves.
They are getting very bold. The
law is with them, they say. They
have defed Washburn. We are a
city stricken, defeated, impotent,
helpless, in the hands of men in
league with those who protect them,
and all the advertising our CONNER
cial club may do, will not remove
the stain. The result will be an
other vote--and men who prefer a
regulated saloon, although temper
ance men at heart, will vote them
back. That is part of the game.
Is it not time for a mass meeting!
Is it not time to say that Washburn
shall govern Washburn and not these
ight-prowlers. these hellions of the
lower region? A saloon keeper is so
much more respectable than a sneak
ing speakeasy-keeper, that he looks
angelic compared to him.
