GRIEVIN * FOR RILEY.
I am gi levin' fur ol' Jim lllley. Why
He never harked to a lullabyo ,
Sung in the dusk in the mother tone
F r a little boy that WJIH all bis own ,
Sprawled half a-fileepln' across her
knees ;
ThHt'H why I'm grlevin' . I know that
he's
AH lonesome now as n man can be ,
A-hearin' echoes o' all the glee
That bubbler up in the hearts o' all
When Santa Glaus plans his yearly
call.
No baby arms go 'round his neck ,
No baby hearts to love him a peck ,
No baby voices to lilt and call ,
No feet to patter along the ball ,
No little children to tiptoe where
He sits so still In his big arm chair ,
An' tell him : "Dad , it's a booflum day
Why don't you como in the yard an
play ? "
No lips are pursed for a goodnight
kiss
Ho must bo lonely a time like this !
There must have been In th' year ;
back there
Wo don't know when an' we don'i
know where ,
A girl whose eyes were alight for him ,
Who walked beside him an' called 1
him "Jim"
Somewhere 'way back in th' used to
bo.
Whoso lips were red an' whose laugh
was glee.
Whose chin was dimpled , perhaps , an *
who
Had dancin' eyes , o' th' gladdest blue.
Whose looks was truant an" coaxed
each breeze ,
Who walked in blossoms that reached
her knees.
II must have loved oh , he must have
had
A love back there when his life was
glad !
An * now he's a-settin' all alone
In the dusk , an' never the mother-tone
Comes across th' dark in a lullabye
That's why I'm griovin' . and why I
sigh
At thought o' him an' night closin * In ,
An' only dreams o' the might-have-
been
To bo there with him fur company
It's th' thought o' that that gits next
to me.
That's why last night when they came
to me ,
My own glad babies , with shrieks o'
glee
An' climbed on my knees in their !
nighties white ,
And loved nnd hugged me with all
their might ,
I hugged 'em closer at thought o' him.
An' kissed each ono of 'em once for
Jim !
It hurt me somehow to be so glad
.Kor things Jim Uiley had never had !
But 1 know she's waitin' for him
somewhere.
The sweetheart that loved him away ,

BRYAN FOR WILSON.
Public Statement Made on Harvey In
cident.
Lincoln. Jan. 25. W. J. Ilrynn takes
the side of Gov. Woodrow Wilson in
his controversy with Col. Harvey
nnU Henry Watterson , justifying the
action of the New Jersey governor in
requesting that his name be with'
drawn from the columns of Harper's
Weekly. In a letter sent from hon
east Mr. Bryan says :
"The recent break between Gov
Wilson and Col. Harvey illustrates the
impossibility of co-operation betweer
men who look at public question
from different points of view. Col
Carvey became a supporter of Mr ,
Ir.ho
Wilson when he was selected as ho
democratic candidate for governor of
New Jersey , and ho continued his support
upbo
port when Gov. Wilson began to bo
discussed as a candidate for tin
presidency. Of course , it is absun
for Col. Harvey's friends to talk abou
bin 'bringing Gov. Wilson out. ' Ni
man or paper could have made Gov
Wilson available as a candidate if ho
had not himself attracted attention
It would have been Impossible for
Col. Harvey to have prevented a dif
eusslon of Gov. Wilson's availabilit }
"Hut let us assume that Col. Hai
vey was doing all that ho could for his
choice , what was the situation ? Us
conspicuous support was not only o
no advantage , but it became actual !
n disadvantage. It did not bring t
Gov. Wilson the class for which Jol.
Harvey speaks , but it alienated len
just as honest as Col. Harvey's friend ;
who could not understand why Co
laney praised ( Jov. Wilson personal-
y without Indorsing the things for
which ( Jov. Wilson stands. It natur-
illy aroused suspicion IIH to the sin-
orlty of one or the other , and when
: .ov. Wilson was asked the question ,
10 admitted that he regarded the sup-
liort of Col. Harvey as a liability In
stead of an asset. Should ho have
pretended that ho thought Col. Har-
not ? And wny siiouui uoi. Harvey
complain ? If he really favors Gov.
Wilson he must desire to aid htm.
Why should ho bo offended then at
Gov. Wilson's frankness ? IH he more
Interested in being known as 'the man
who made Gov. Wilson famous' than
In advancing Wilson's cause ?
Col. Harvey ban shown no signs
of conversion ; If he communes with
Ananlases it is not with any con
sciousness of blindness. Ho has seen
no new light ; and when he docs , he
will feel so ashamed of his lifelong
fight against progressive democracy
that hla llrst desire will be to bring
forth frulta meet for repentance ; not
to assume leadership. It must pain
Gov. Wilson to break with old friends ;
but the breaks must necessarily come
unless ho turns back or they go for
ward. 'A man is known by the com
pany he keeps , ' and ho cannot keep
company with those going in oppo
site directions. Gov. Wilson must
prepare himself for other desertions
they will distress him , but there Is
abundant conolatlon in the con
sciousness of duty done. "
Omaha Pioneer Is Dead.
Omaha , Jan. 25. Mrs. Kmmii Von
Wlndhelm , aged 82 years , passed
away at her home , 261C Poppleton
avenue at 3:30 : yesterday afternoon.
Atrs. Windhelm was one of the very
earliest settlers in Omaha , arriving in
the then far western frontier settle
ment in 1858 , accompanied by her hus
band who died in 1891. Mrs. Wind
helm was born in Saxony. She cross
ed the Atlantic ocean in a Hailing vessel
sol in 1852 , and came to Omaha via
the Missouri river from St. Louis In a
boat propelled by Bails , poles and
oara.
PUT A STAMP ON ALL BABIES.
A Mlxup Such as Exists In Paris
Avoided in Chicago Hospitals.
Chicago , Jan. 25. All babies born
in Chicago hospitals are stamped , it
was announced today after attention
had been called to the problem now
vexing two Paris mothers. As soon as
a baby arrives , an antiseptic label ,
bearing the name of the mother , the
date and hour of birth and the name
of the attending physician is attached
to the child.
Attendants at the Chicago hospital
discussed the enigma with which two
Paris mothers have had to deal. The
stork visited a mother and her daugh
ter at the samp hospital and at the
same hour. An attendant mixed the
Infants. Each mother now fondles a
baby and wonders whether it is a senor
or a brother or a son or a grandson
"If we didn't have the stamping
system , " said a Chicago nurse , "we
would be in trouble all the time. Idea
tillcatlon is absolutely necessary
where we have babies arriving at the
rate of a dozen or two an hour. "
PREACHED WITH A BLACK EYE.
Unpaid Contractor Tried to Stop a
Dedication in Oklahoma.
Muskogee. Ok. , Jan. 25. With both
eyes blackened and swollen , his lip
cut , his clothing disarranged and a :
policeman guarding the pulpit , the
Rev. D. Roland Smith preached the
dedicatory sermon at the First Meth-
odist church here. A two-weeks' le
gal contest culminated in an assault
upon the minister on the way to
church.
An attempt was made to dedicate
the church last Sunday morning. Elab
orate arrangements had been made ,
including a costly musical program ,
for this Is the newest and one of the
most expensive churches in the city.
When the congregation gathered last
Sunday morning they found the
church doors barred. Nailed to the
door was a court order prohibiting
the congregation and pastor from en
tering the church. It had been oh-
, tained by C. F. McKee , the contractor >
who built the church. Ho alleged
there was $5,000 yet due on the
church for which satisfactory arrange-
menta for payment had not been
made.
In court McKee's attorney , over
McKee's protest , asked that the in-
junction against the minister and his
flock be dismissed. The court or
dered McKee to turn over the keys of
the church to the trustees. McKee
defied the court. Late last night
- upon complaint from the trustees that
McKee had not delivered the keys , he
10t.
was arrested for contempt of court.
He drove to jail in his motor car , and
. there ho was stripped of his diamonds
and registered and measured. After
three hours the keys to the church
* were delivered to the trustees by n
. friend of McKee and the latter was
. released.
The dedicatory church services
were advertised to take place. While
- the Hev. Mr. Smith was on his aj
to the church McKee's motor ar
pulled up at the curb. McKee , Arthui

DEPEND ON FIRST BALLOT.
Campaign Managers Seek to Round up
Enough Votes for This Purpose.
Washington , Jan. 25. While the
popular demand for the nomination
*
I of Theodore Hoosevelt continues to
ncrease , President Taft and his po-
Itieal managers are redoubling their
( Torts to round up sulliclent instruct-
d delegates to give a majority of the
onventlon on the ilrst ballot.
The regular republicans who ate
ulvlsing the president hope the Uoose-
volt movement will have run Its course
within the next few weeks , that then
i reaction will not in and Taft will be
.he gainer in solid support.
The situation in the south and in.
New York is giving the Taft manag-1
TH particular concern. It appears
that all Is not well in the south from
the administration point of view. So
far not more than two or three south
ern states have given satisfactory assurance -
suranco of sending to the national.
convention delegations instructed for
the president. There appears to be n
reluctance on the part of the republi
can leaders In the south to declare'
for the president. This has led to a
suspicion that the southern republi
cans prefer Roosevelt as a. sure win
ner.
ner.It looks as if there IH going to be
the biggest kind of u light over the
instruction of the New York delcga-1
lion for Taft , There also difficulties
have developed in the plans of the
regulars to have the state convention
turn out a Taft delegation. William
Harnes , jr. , chairman of the republi
can state committee , has evidenced a
preference for an unlnstructed dele
gation.
Barnes has not been on good terms
with President Taft slnco the events
leading up to the convention which
nominated Stimson for governor. Nor
is he friendly toward Roosevelt as a
result of the same incident. He is
not in sympathy with La Follette , but
might look with favor on Cummins.
Ono report Is to the effect that Barnes
is working to have the New York del
egation instructed for Associate Su
preme Justice Hughes.
But the mere fact that Barnes Is
harboring the idea of sending the New
York delgates to the convention uninstructed -
structed has struck terror to the
hearts of the Taft managers. The sit-
nation is such that , without New York
the president cannot count on going
into the convention with a majority of
the delegates. The order has gone
out from the white house that it is im
perative that the New York delega
tion he instructed for the president.
The Instructions are to bring Barnes
to time and , If he proves obdurate , to
have him removed by the state con
vention as chairman of the commit
tee.
tee.The
The candidacy of Senator Cummins
Is attracting a remarkable amount of
interest in the east. There is no
doubt that he would be acceptable to
conservative republicans generally ,
and everywhere there is speculation
as to his chance of being a strong
compromise candidate. In the event
of the nomination of Roosevelt , Sena
tor Cummins might be the choice for
vice president.
CITIES RUIN YOUTHS.
Charge by James Bronson Reynolds ,
Reform Advocate , In New York.
New York , Jan. 25. Big cities conspire -
spire to ruin their youth is the start
ling statement made by James Bron
son Reynolds , now an assistant dis
trict attorney in New Ydijk City.
He knows whereof he speaks. He
has studied the great problems of so
cial reform in Europe and at home.
When he returned from foreign study
to the United States , in 1893 , he became -
came hendworker in the University
Settlement , New York , and he was a
member of the tenement house com
mittee appointed later by Col. Roosevelt
velt , then governor of New York state.
I > ater. after acting as secretary to
Mayor Low , Mr. Reynolds became spe
cial adviser on municipal affairs at the
national capital during Col. Reese
velt's presidential term.
Recently he has been one of the
chief workers in the great crusade in
support of the Mann act and is at
present an assistant district attorney
- especially in charge of prosecutions
growing out of this reform impulse.
Mr. Reynolds speaks only of condi
tions as they exist in New York , ute
- his views are applicable to any iargo
city in the United States.
Nine counts are mentioned in Mr. :
r.is
Reynolds' indictment of the big city as
a home for youth :
, Dreary solitude in teeming neighbor >
hoods is the town's worst menace tc
its young.
. Our cheap boarding houses are re
markably free from directly evil influ
ence , but they are generally cheerless
Good food is a powerful moral agent
but it is hard to get.
Young workers here embarrassed bj
emergencies can meet them onlj
through the pawnbroker or loan sharp
at interest which , if charged in Wai
street , would close the stock exchange
The city horn and the young recruli
from the country are alike the victims
of the Moloch of the town.
New York's reception of the countrj
boy or girl is heartless ; its treatmen !
of them hard ; Its frequent victory ovei
- what is good in them inevitable.
The cheap boarding house suppllei
little social life ; the saloon gets manj
of the homeless lads , and the street i
multitude of girls whoso loneliness in
a great crowd has forced them to i
. for relief.
- The influences of moving plctun i
shows , both good nnd bad , is far bet
- tor than some other influences. etho
- There are more young men in tin
saloons each Saturday night than ire
, found in the city's churches on Sun
day.
day."The
"The movement to combat the ovl
influences of the cities has progresses ;
rapidly. " Mr. Reynolds said.
"For Instance , In Its llrst decade

DENIES YELLOW PINE CHARGOE.
Kansas City Lumberman Claims Price
Has Not Advanced Abnormally.
Kansas City , Mo. , Jan. 26. Further
testimony tending to show that the
price of yellow pine lumber has not
Increased more rapidly In the last
ten years than other commodities , was
given today by Charles S. Keith of
this city who began his third day on
the witness stand at the hearing of
the state's ouster suit against ( \\enty-
six lumber companies charged with
violation of the anti-trust law. Mr.
Keith testified that corn , oats , rye ,
potatoes and cattle had Increased in
price at far more rapid rate than lum
ber.
"In the last ten years , " Mr. Keith
said , "the yellow pine lumber trade
has suffered severe competition from
construction. To combat this the aim
of the Yellow Pine Manufacturers'
association has been to find new uses
for yellow pine. The association has
encouraged the use of it for making
creosoteil paving blocks , for interior
finishing and for other purposes
which would benefit the consumer. "

EXTRAS TO SKIRMISH.
Northwestern Has New Plan to Keep
Tracks Open During Storms.
A scheme which was tried out by
the Northwestern lailroad with satis
factory results on its lines near Chicago
cage during the recent frigid spell
will be extended to all parts of the
system in case of : i recurrence of ex
treme weather conditions.
The feature of the plan is to send
"extra , " light running trains , consist
ing of locomotive , a tool car and a
caboose or coach , ahead of all import
ant passenger trains. The function
of the "extra" is to clear the track
repair damages of all sorts , and act
in general as a skirmisher for the
regular train. Keeping so closely in
front of the regular train , great speed
is required for the extras. One block ,
or , in the absence of a block system ,
ono station always will be kept be
tween the two trains.
The necessity for about double the
usual passenger motive power in or
der to carry out this plan will be met
by using the freight engines , which
are idle at such times.
