IRA IE lTU A T IF D IE L O 317 WASHINGTON STREET, NEW YORK FOR SEPTEMBER Now softened suns a mellow luster fhe, The laden orchard glow with tempt ing red; On hazel boughs the clusters bang embrowned. And with the bunting horn the fields resound. Old Spencer Poem. Well we should say so, and the tnellow horn of Mr. Morgan will awake the morn, bidding us garner for the bins and cribs In which we labor for bis royal nibs. The sum mer ended and the blower on, the respite over and the money gone, and Kockefeller as we drill along, bowing and hoping we are all well and strong. The seaside sojourner will quit the shore, and the summer girl will line up three or four conquest's In puppy love she has around, and choose the one that Is to go uudrowned. The which selecttou from the litter born of summer madness she will then suborn with things sufticlent to unlock Its eyes, and hurry homeward with the gasping prize. The bustling tourist will return from France with hotel stickers stuck upon his pants, and tarred and post alcarded by his friends, will reap the penalty of what he sends. They'll waltx blrn up and down upon a, rail, and alternately turn hi mi head and tall, or howsoever they may lest en joy the views In Venice or the site of Troy. The festive calf will blithely sniff and snort, and deftly tip up where the balr Is short, and In the quiet even after glow the quail will ple bis dulcet piccolo. The bold Insur gent will insurge the more, and fill the planet with his dreadful roar, and each one liettlng he will not le last, the autumn candidates will gal lop past. , The new progressive ami the iJem ocrat, the tmlnsurglng that are standing pat, and In the midst of them, unfalnt of heart, our Mr. Itryan on the Jwater cart. A maze of Issue and a mass of men, and lo, a gallus busting now and then, find not esfxfclally alarmed by It, the trusts desisting till the swartn bus lit. The man from Elba trying to come liuck, And the poor consumer In his cul-de-sac Unknowing If the quaking earth por tends Death or the near approach, perhaps, of friends. But howsoever and be that as It may, the dread mosquito will have had Its day, and joining Satan In Its spectral growth, have made It real hell there for tbem both. The while the earthly remnant of It swings upon the window screen, and drying clings to that post which, though wanting mortal fire, It still holds with Its face against the wire. Milady Fashion In her new hobble skirt will stride the pavement with the men alert to M't her right side up again In case she should in time turn turtle any place. It does beat thun der what the women wear, and how they stick on- other people's hair, constrict their middles and constrain their toes and what Importance they attach to clothes. I!ut bless us, are they after all to blame, or had they been In these things quite the same if Mother Eve's first thought, as we suppose, had not been unnecessarily of clothes? Was It to be expected In her case that with a man somewhere upoa the place she ever thought of anything at all but gowns, slipovers or perhaps a shawl? Hut anyhow, the crawfish will have holed. And the pumpkin shown the faintest trace of goli. The sassafras wllldon a redder dress, And the gods will crowd around the elder press. Or prohibition or whatever will, here Is a fountain that shall serve us still, a place of resting and a stent away out of the desert and the heat of day. A place of quiet and the shade of palms, of Irrigation and the soothing balms that no reformer till the poles embrace shall ever capture for a bathing place. The hosts of labor will parade the street, which will remind us of a happy feat In arbitration from the olden days w lieu Julius Caesar was a craze. It Is related of that ancient time that sweet Septernler In the Koinan clime was hot as blazes, and the union file could only march about half a mile. It wasn't anything at all, they say. to watch the mighty pageant get away, the music playing and the flags displayed, and s-e It suddenly duck for the slnile. The gasping drummer with his sounding drum, the bronzed mechanics who perhaps had come a dozen squares, and In the frantic rout, age and apprentice THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF LAND OPENED The opening up of thousands of acres of new land In Southwestern Washington by the new (irnys Har bor branch of the Oregon and Wnsd Ington Railroad will be effected when the passenger service on the new line Is started, about September!. The Oregon and Washington has also Inaugurated a month of hotneseek ers' rates, which will be effective from eastern points between Septeni lier !." and October l.". In times, past the railroads have allowed rates of this sort In the spring, but not in other seasons. The O. & W. has de elded to distribute Its homeseeker travel over various parts of the year, and will bring as many new settlers westward this fall as possible. In order that residents In the North west who want to send for their friends may do so easily, the rail road has a scheme of accepting de posits for tickets at western otliees and then ordering the ticket Issued at any eastern office desired. It Is anything to get the settler now, and the O. Ac W. will bring a lot of good competition Into the field of settling up the country. The logged off lands and rich valleys of the southwestern part of the state offer many attrac tions and homes for thousands of new citizens. with his tongue stuck out. The faint Impression the procession made on Kornan capital for long die mayed the union leaders, when the serried ranks at times not even passed the Koman banks. And so It was when mighty Caesar came, and having found the populace aflame, he shoved Septemls-r from the sev enth place along to ninth, which has remained the case. He merely Inter changed It with July, but when he asked them how was that for high, they fairly Inundated him with smiles, and have since Is-en doing about twenty miles.
