'. j migrants, over half of them young men who come alone; and most of all, the railroads, demanding Increas ing throngs of nomadic camp work ers; the railroads, "the real hot cir cus," tempting boys to the road and giving to all kinds of hoboes easy and free means of travel. Lastly, the huge tenement hives, where year by year people ure packed in tighter; were year by year life grows more nervous and tense and restless. And deep under all these condi tions, responding to the chances they offer, the old human love of the road that lies deep down in .the souls of men the "wanderlust" of humanity, i May "Everybody's." THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME The dames of France are fond and free, And Flemish lips are willing, And soft the maids of Italy, And Spanish eyes are thrilling; Still, though I bask beneath their smile, Their charms fail to bind me, And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle, To the girl I left behind me. For she's as fair as Shannon's side, And purer than its water; But she refus d to be my bride, Though many a year I sought her: Yet, since to France I sail'd away, Her letters oft renind me, That I promis'd never to gainsay The girl I left be ind jne. She says, "My own dear love, come home, My friends are rich and ma-y, Or else, abroad with you I'd roam, A soldier stout! as any; If you'll not come, nor let me go, ' I'll think you have resigned me.'"' My heart nigh broke when I answered- "W,,, . To the girl I left behind r-e. For never shall my true love brave A life of war and toiling. And never as a skulking sla 'e I'll tread my native feoll on; But were I free or to be freed, The battle's close would find me ' To Ireland bound, nor message need From the girl I left behind me. Author Unknown. Roosevelt, in his Initial message to congress, formulated a policy in re gard to the establishment of more efficient public control over the trusts and corporations, -which in cluded specific recommendations for legislation. There Is no manner of doubt that the enormous weight of public feeling in both the great po litical parties was favorable to his proposals. But the machine man agers of the republican majority in both hoiises were not so favorable; and the result has been that not a single step has been taken toward giving legislative embodiment to the president's program. From time to time he haB endeavored, by special messages, to stir up congress to ac tion, but hitherto without the small est result. Glrsgcw Herald. STATESMANSHIP v: "Well, gentleman," said' the can didate for alderman, leading them into his parlor, "what can I do for you?" "We want to know," said the spokesman of the delegation, twirling his hat awkwardly in bis hands, "how you stand on enforcin' the dog law in this ward." The candidate did not hesitate a moment, "Gentlemen," he said, "I take it that you own dogs yourselves?" "Yes, sir." "Then, gentlemen," said the can didate, raising his voice and speak ing with tremendous emphasis, "as one of your fellow citizens, interest ed with you in all that makes for "the prosperity of our great and grow ing city, I declare to you, without equivocation or evasion, that never with a voice, vote or influence will I do anything to discourage one of the principal industries of our ward, inhabited as it Js by sturdy, indom nitable people who represent what has been well and appropriately designated as the bone and sinew of our beloved land! Gentlemen, what will you take?" Chicago Tribune. AS CONSIDERED IN SCOTLAND The present political situation in the United States furnishes a rather peculiar and striking illustration of what most European observers agree in regarding as a serious working defect in the American constitution. The complete separation between the legislative and executive powers may have its virtues and its merits; but it also has very distinct drawbacks. Nearly four months ago President Your Nerves Are the life, the vitality, the energy of your bodyi It Is the nerves that cause the heart to pulsate, the lungs to Inhale the oxy gen, the brain to direct the motion of every organ of the body, the stomach to digest food, the liver to secrete the bile, the kidneys to filter the blood, and the bowels 'to' carry off the waste. When tho nerves of the stomach be come weakened or exhausted, Indiges tion, Constipation and Inflammation re sult, because the stomach is inactive. This Is true of all the organs of the body, -and proves -that -to cure disease you must strengthen the nerves. , .. Dr. Miles' Nervine is the great specific for the nerves, and in bringing t,frem back to health never fails to euro all cases of Nervousness, Sleeplessness, " N.euralgia, Headache Spasms, Backache, Muscular Twitch ing, St. Vitus? -Pance, Epilepsy, Stom ach, Ilver ajntf Kidney Troubles. "For two ye,ars physicians and health resorts failed to !reJlovo me of a complin cation of stomach, liver, kidney anq heart affections. Six bottles of Dr. Miles Nervine:.. cured me." G.

A PERTINENT QUERY "Ferdinand Schumacher, the, oat meal king," said an Akron grocer, "was a conservative. The man who founded the enormous Tareakfast food business loathed fads. "I once tried to get .him to join our golf club. But he poked fun at us golfers. He told a great story that he had -heard in Scotland. "A player asked an old friend to come and have a game of golf with him. " 'What's golf?' said the friend. " 'Come to the links,' said the player, 'and I'll show you.' "To the links they went. The player took a pinch of moist sand from a trough, built up a tiny liill Of it, and on top of the hill set his ball. Then he made a terrific swing and missed. "He tried again, and again missed. " 'A gran' game, golf said his companion. "He made 'a third stroke, and missed for the third time. " 'Qh, ay, a gran' game, golf,' his Companion repeated. 'But what's the wee ball for?' " Akron Beacon. ' FRIENDS Sweet of old was the example of those two brethren in the politics of the ancient Hebrew race, who loved each other through thick and thin, through war and peace, through, victory and defeat. Their love, said their contemporaries, was "passing the love of woman." They have no .equals in these days, wo. thoughtless ly conclude. Not. so. .The .Connecticut delegates - to the governors' conference at Washington bear back with them a sweet and precious message which answers that question. One of them asked Wil liam Jennings Bryan if ho wanted to send up any message to Alexander Troup of New Haven. "Tell Troup," said Mr. Bryan tenderly and over his face came "the light that never was on sea or land" "that I know he Is one of tho best friends a man could have. I believe ho would die for mo. Tell him I love him dearly." Suns rise and set, the sunny and the rainy seasons come and go. Let ters of Instruction, Bonnett foun tains, tho defeat of tho ballots and tho conquest of tho earth, succeed each other for Mr. Bryan, but hla old friend Troup is true. Ho was tho original Bryan man of Con necticut and further back than that. Ho will bo a Bryan man, If need bo, whon every mother's son who Btood by Bryan has folded his tent like the Arabs and silently stolen away. And no less will Bryan stand by Troup. Ah, such friends aro friends worth having, and such friendships exalt a nation. New Haven (Conn.) Register. 20 Year Guarantee DEMOCRATS! npH P HORNET te th0 Ilottw,t Democratic papcr jn an America.
