the executive committee of the
State Farmers' Alliance held
a joint meeting in DesMoines

tions adopted favor control by
the government of all railroac

in the matter of finance !

Phyllis to Stephen , About to Travel : *
When sailing o'er the broad Atlantic ocean.
When tossed upon the mad and raging sea ,
When tilled with strange tumultuous commo
tion ,
I'll pardon if you fall to think of me. / \ \
When hunting in the forest or the jungle ,
When chasing mastodon or fleeting hind ,
And thought of mo your work would sadly
bungle ,
Why let me slip at once from out your mind.
Should boa constrictor twine himself abont
you ,
Demanding all your precious thought and
time ,
not a thought of mo , my darling , flout you ,
Who'll pray for you in this far distant clime ?
.But should you in the regions of Golronda
A rich and brilliant ruby chance to see ,
O , don't forgot than mine no heart is fonder ,
And then I beg that you'll remember me.
John Kcndrick IJangs , In Life.
Thut Unruly Member.
"Tho boneless tongue , so small and weak.
Can crush and kill. " declared the Greek.
"The tongue destroys a greater horde , "
The Turk asserts , "than doth the sword. "
Or sometimes takes this form Instead :
'Don't lot your tongue cut off your head. "
'The tongue can speak a word whoso _ speed , "
Says the Cnlnese. "outstrips the steed " ,
While Arab sages this impart :
' The tongue's great storehouse is the heart. "
From Hebrew wit this maxim sprung :
"Though feet should slip , ne'er let the tongue. "
The sacred writer crowns the whole :
'Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul. "

A lloy'g Flail Story.
Wunst wo went a-flshin' me
An' my Pa an' Ma all three ,
When they was a picnic , way
Out to Ranch's Woods , one day.
An' there was a crick out there ,
WTiere the fishes is , an' where
Little boys 'tain't big an' strong
Better have their folks along.
My Pa he 1st fished an1 fished I
An' my Ma she said she wished
Me an' her was home ; an' Pa
Bald ho wished so worse'n Mo.
Pa said ef you talk , er say
Any thin' , cr sneeze , er play ,
Hain't no fish , alive cr dead.
Ever go' to bite , he said.
Purt' nigh dark in town when we
Got back home ; and Mo , says she ,
Now she'll have a fish for shore :
An' she buyed one at the store.
Nen , at supper , Pa ho won't
Bat no fish , an' says he don't
Like 'em. An' he pounded mo
When I choked I Ma , didn't he ?

A Sad Tale With n Moral for Glrla.
Bbo was smart and she was pretty , and her
elders thought her witty , and she tripped
the light fantastic like a fay.
She could read both French and Latin , and wa *
sweet in print or satin , and 'twould make
your bosom heave to hear her play.
But in single life she tarried , and she never ,
never married , and she'll doubtless be a
maiden till she dies.
For she bade a proud defiance to the culinary
science , and she never knew the mystery
of pies.

Tvrai Ever Thus.
Some burdened hearts must ever sigh ,
While some are filled with gladness ;
Some dwell beneath a sunny sky
And some 'neath clouds of sadness.
Thus runs this strange old world away
In pleasure and in sorrow ;
The most of us are here to-day
And not far off to-morrow.
Dame Fortune to a favored few
Is richest favors giving ,
But there are countless thousands wh
Must hustle for a living.
And some it seems must evsr pay ,
While some forever borrow ;
And most of us are here to-day
And not far off to-morrow.

At Last.
Her lily hand was clasped In his ;
But , with a lover's foolish dread ,
" Tell me you love me , dear , " he cried.
"You know it now , " she said.
" Perhaps but tell me , dearest love. "
Her sunny head drooped sweetly low ,
And hid upon his beating heart ;
She whispered : " 2fow you know. "
" But toy it , dear. " Around his neck
One rounded arm crept gently slow ;
She murmured , as ho stooped to hear :
"You can not htlp but know. "
" Bnt let me hear you say it , love. "
Her lips pursed up a pretty pout ,
She stamped her foot "I love you ! there I
I hope you've found it cut. "

Though forms and faces oft in time
Grow dim and strange
Though hearts and hands wax cold , dear love , in

And I will promise , as the years roll on ,
To make my life
A loving tribute to thy virtues rare ,

The Universal Strife.
A cricket fed on an insect
Too small for eye to see.
A field mouse captured the cricket
And hushed bis minstrelsy.
A gray shrike pounced on the field mouse
And hung him on a thorn.
And a hawk came down on the cruel shrike ,
From over the waving corn.
And a fox sprung out on the red-tailed hawk
From under a fallen tree ;
For bird and beast , by flood and field ,
Of every degree.
Prey one upon the other.
Twos thus ordained to be ;
My rifle laid old Reynard low ,
And Death Death looked at me.
Ernest McGaffey
Saved.
Her heart is the court of love
Wherein I am being tried ;
I ask of the powers above
That she inay become my bride.
Her "no" will to mo be death
Ah , ended Is all the strife ,
For "yes" with a smile she salth ;
The verdict IB thus "for life. "
