I t3be Conservative * 13 THE AGE. [ Translated from the French of Victor Hugo. ] Great and strong is this ago , a noble instinct its guide ; On'cnch hand wo see march to fulfillment The Thought ; And the sound of man's voice , with his labor allied , Into unison with the great world-tone is " * brought. Everywhere , in the city and wilderness lone , To the milk that wo fed him on , man Is. still true ; As the. sculptors's hand fashions some huge , shapeless stone , Dreaming thought into nations the dull crowds doth how. The old scaffold is crumbling ; the Grevo cleansed of blood ; Revolt is asleep ; better days are at hand ; The wrath of the people , like a hot lava flood , Though at first it lay waste , enriches the laud. God's hand on them laid bath great bards set apart , From their thought-informed brows they ray _ _ splendor divine ; : And poetic souls in the green valleys of Art Drink deep as by consecrate streams they re cline. Stone by'stone , iishe thinks of manners time- killed , 'Neath'an\ > that totters fo every wind's rage , Thes two holy pillars doth the Thinker re build , Affection for childhood and reverence for > ge. Duty , Son of the Bight , his dwelling hath made Beneath our roof-tree , a guest grave and high : The beggars , in groups 'neath the vestibule's shade , Have less hate in their , hcart.'less fire in their eye. Fast against the stern Truth doors no longer are made ; Each riddle is read ; and , as daily it learns The secret of things , our spirit dismayed In the universe meanings un-thought-of discerns. From'carth vanish the fire and the fiery fume , The while , O yo bards , ye dream of the dayl With the weight all-oppressive of the olden- time gloom , Which beneath clumsy axles ground to powder the way. Blind matter man makes his obedient thrall ; Ho thinks , searches , creates ! The breath of his life Makes life-seeds to tremble , wide-strewn through the All , As shudders a wood when the tempest is rife. Yes ; all marches and grows ; each swift hour in its flight Makes its mark ; of a great age the rising wo see ; And man , gazing afar from the banks sunny- bright , Beholds his future enlarge , like a river set free. JNO. POWER. Hastings , Neb. THE ROUBIDOU FAMILY. Noting in today's CONSERVATIVE an inquiry from "A. T. R. " concerning a family named "Roubidou" I beg to say that , many years ago , there settled near Rule , Neb. , a irum named Roubideaux , formerly a trapper and trader among the Indians. He married a half or quar ter breed Indian girl , the daughter of Charles Ruleau , sr. , ( commonly spelled Rule , for whom the town of Rule , Neb. was named ) , settled on Indian laud , and lived thereon until the time of his death , the date of which I do not know. I understand that ho at one time made his headquarters at St. Joseph , Mo. , and that relatives of his were still living there a few years ago. His widow , with some of his children , are living on the old homestead near Rule , and. inquiry made of them would doubtless bring the desired information. If , however , "A. T. R. " is particularly desirous of obtain ing this information , and can convenient ly do so , would suggest that he go to Rule in person , and interview these people instead of writing. If he can ob tain an interview with Miss Sadie Rou bideaux , think he will obtain any information mation she can give. PEARL MARIAN RULEAU. Omaha , Neb. , March 14,1901. GOOD MAN TO HOLD. It is greatly to the president's credit that he has stood by his commissioner of pensions , Hon. Henry Olay Evans of Tennessee , throughout the protracted and malignant attack made by the claim attorneys and others upon that faithful public servant. Mr. Evans is one of the best com missioners that over hold the office. His management of the bureau has been a model of intelligent fairness and scrupu lous rectitude. He has told the truth and has done his duty. He has pro voked hostility in quarters where en thusiastic approbation could have been won only at the expense of public in terests and of the good fame of Mr. Me- Kinley's administration. The pension claim agents find it to their advantage to spread the idea that a commissioner who does his duty , ad ministers the laws justly , but rigorously , and does what he can to protect the treasury and prevent looting , is an "enemy of the old soldier.
