OL'R MOTHER
When the heart is full of sorrow ,
And we cannot see the way ,
And the troubles of tomorrow ,
Seem to crowd upon today ;
When all our false friends fail us ,
And a comforter we need ,
We turn at once to mother
And our minda from care are freed.
'Tis mother that will alwa3a
( Bririjr brightness to our l ves ;
I 'T s her whose welcome presence
Binds tighter our home ties.
Aivl all the words of comfort
That others may bestow ,
The words of mother always
. Set our hearts most aglow.
t
When in the world we wander
Among life's busy throng ,
Our hearts are gnan'd thoughtless
I Of what is right or wrong.
I We never stop to wonder ,
I If anything we lack ,
Until a word from mother
Old memories bring back.
'Tis then our thots turn homeward.
And many things seem vile ,
That once to us were pleasant ,
And seemed well worth the while ;
'Tis then remorse o'er'-takes us ,
And the vows we make are true ,
We will remember mother ,
And our love for God is new.
The teachings of our mother ,
If followed day by day ,
Will smooth the stony places
W - find along the way.
In davs that are the darkest
Of all within the year ,
The brightest light that guides us ,
Is held by mother dear.

There were roast turkey , fresh
fish , tomatoes , potatoes , sweet
corn , jellies , marmalades , cakes ,
mince and apple pies , oranges , ap
ples , strawberries , peaches , pud
ding and sauces , and all cooked to
perfection. That long table was a

leave pleasant memories along

A Curionn and Rare Boole.
The most curious nsvell as one of
the rarest books known to collectors is
the edition of the Vulgate issued by
Pope Sixtus V. some time between
15S5 and 1500. The book , as'Disraeli
described it. "fairly swarmed with er
rata. " So numerous were they that a
number of printed paper slips contain
ing the proper words were pasted over
the errors , and , this device proving in
efficient on account of the immense
number of mistakes , as many of th
copies as could be found were called in
and destroyed. Only a few remain , and
the book with Its paper patches com
mands an extremely high price.
PLUTOCRATIC DANGER.
Great Uneasiness Felt In Financial
Cirele * .
Leslie's Weekly in a late article ex
poses its plutocratic tendency and con
trol when it says , * The present out
break against the capitalized industries
of the land , fostered by demagogues on
one side and by ambitious reformers
on the other , is proceeding to such dan
gerous lengUis that great uneasiness is
felt in financial circles at home and '
abroad over the possible outcome. " It
certainly does begin to look as if the
people were waking up to their oppor
tunities to prevent themselves from
being plundered by the corporations ,
but what has been done is compara
tively nothing to what must be done in
that direction.
The railroad legislation , for instance ,
has effected nothing as yet toward re
vising unreasonable rates , which is the
real end of railroad legislation. The
trusts are still protected by the tariff
and are advancing prices instead of re
ducing them , and indeed no steps have
been taken by the dominant party to
try to proceed "to such dangerous
lengths" as Leslie's seems to think is
"alre'ady felt in financial circles. ' ' Why ,
bless your dear old plutocratic soul , the
corporations are still in clover , but if
they are wide awake to the signs of
the times they will set their houses in
order , for , unless there is a more equal
distribution of profits , there will be a
cyclone ere long that will certainly
upset u good many people that now
feel quite secure on their prosperity
perch. The trouble is the "financial in
terests" have overplayed their hands
a ml fear that the public will "call"
them.
For the past ten years' the trusts and
corporations have had it all their own
way , with the Republican party pro
tecting them and in return being fur
nished with campaign boodle to perpet
uate this copartnership of plundering
corruption and graft. Public opinion is
coming to the point where reform will
be demanded , and the great danger is
that in the effort to insure restitution
there may be some interests injured
that are innocent of wrongdoing. The
Democratic plan of abolishing monopo
ly and ceasing to protect the trusts and
compelling the railroad corporations to
charge reasonable rates will be found
much more effective than the confisca
tion of great fortunes , with no revision
of the laws to prevent fostering such
in the future.
REVISE THE TARIFF.
The Democratic Plan For Reforming
Exisiiiisr Evil * .
The representatives of the people in
congress did not have the gall to in
crease their own salaries , although
over 100 Republicans voted for it , but
the solid -Democratic vote defeated the
raise. The whole question of govern
ment salaries should be taken up to
gether , for the greatly increased cost
of living demands that th ? army , the
navy and the civil service c.nployees
should have a similar increase to
match the increased cost of living , for
they have'no other source of income.
With congressmen , however , it is a dif
ferent matter , for they have an aver
age ( of six months each year to attend
to private business as lawyers or oth
erwise , , and it would be unfair of them
to increase their own salaries without
at the. same , time raising those of other
officials , whio have no other means of
increasing"t eir salaries.
The sjand jpat congressmen , who re
fuse to revise the tariff which has fos
tered the trusts and protected them in
increasing the price of their products ,
are quite consistent in voting to raise
their salaries 50 per cent as the equiv
alent of the increased cost of living.
Hut Democrats , ou'd.othjgr.sjvb.o. hoDc to
K-
see'Tiie tafia' revised" would rather
strike at the root of the evil and thus
also relieve the taxpayers who are suf
fering from the same high trust prices.
The universal demand for increased
salaries shows the weak spot'in the
stand pat theory.
The tariff protects the. trusts in put
ting up prices , but makes the people
pajr the tax in increased cost of living ,
and we can't all draw indirect subsi
dies from the government , as the trusts
do , or there would be no one left to
pay the taxes. Tariff reform would
again adjust prices at the expense of
the trusts , and there would then be no
need of increasing the pay of congress
men or other employees of the govern
ment.
What Fishins Develops.
To ILose who are satisfied with a su
perficial view of the subject it may
seem impossible that the diligence and
attention necessary to a fisherman's
success can leave him any opportunity
while fishing to thoughtfully contem
plate any matter not related to his pur
suit. Such a conception of the situation
cannot be indorsed for a moment by
those of us who are conversant with
the mysterious and unaccountable men
tal phenomena jvhlch fishing develops.
vVe know that the true fisherman finds
ao better time for profitable contempla
tion and mental exercise than when ac-
lually engaged with his angling outfit.
It will probably never be possible for
as to gather statistics showing the mov
ing sermons , tl.e enchanting poems , the
learned arguments and eloquent orations
tions that have been composed or con
structed betwpi-n the bites , strikes or
rises of fish. Bt there can be no doubt
that of the many intellectual triumphs
won in every walk of life a larger pro'- '
portion has been actually hooked 'arid
landed with a rod and reel by those of.
the fishing fraternity than have been
secured in any one given condition o
the nonfishing world. "Fishing and
