Who does not sympatnlze with the
oppress?;! Irish people, in their strug
gle for homes, self-rule and freedom?
That spleDdld isle and its splendid
race have furnished millions in rev
enue for the English government, and
yet little of It has been spent in im
proving Ireland. The peasantry has
enriched the landlords and yet all the
wealth they have created has been
sent out of Ireland to garnish British
castles and fight the Irish cause,
while the toilers have dwelt in shan
ties and their children have grown
up in Ignorance. American hearts
beat warm for the Irish race. Amer

thousands of dollars for that worthy

a few wild cat corporations will be

made at the coming session of the

to meet any opposition. This law ,
has yielded a revenue ot about $100.-
000 to the state, and has not driven
one lesithnate corporation out of bus-,
Iness nor has It prevented the form'
atlon of one that has a legitimate
purpose In existing. Irrigation, mw-'

lumbering, mining, and all the great

The Manufacturers' Association is
now sending out Its campaign litera

of the labor union. This aristocratic,
capitalistic concern, while It Is fight

docs not say, that organization is the
basis of the life and prosperity of the
Manufacturers' Association. It does
not day that through co-operation, as
sociation and union, it Is enabled to
manipulate the manufacture and sale
of .every necessity of life, that it fixes
arbitrary prices 011 commodities to
consumers, that It fixes the arbitrary
prices of the raw material from pro
ducers, and now wishes to corner the
remainder of the Industrial world by
annihilating the laltor union, to give
the Manufacturers' Association the
unrestricted power to fix prices of

jTlicy argue that, where the people

the heavy expense under the private
ownership plan does not stand in the
way; if private plants pay corpora
tions the enormous dividends that
they now pay, the city could also
reap a small income, after furnishing
cheaper light; there Is Just as much
business management among mem-
?t nltv rrmnnl1 ns nmonir mem
Ihers of electric . light corporations.
anJ therc Jg nQ reason wnj. it should
not be a business success. These are
some of the reasons advanced in fa
vor of the municipal plant, and they
are worthy of study.
The spectacle of savage ferocity,
goaded by the higher ideals of pat
riotism, now exhibited In the trenches
before Port Arthur and IJao Yang,
will probably not be witnessed in the
world again, if the civilizing influ-
ences continue to to spread. In all
Wctni-v nf mndnrn u-.ir thpre has
not been seen the same frenzied dis
regard for death in hand to band en
'counters, in hopeless charges, in dec-
Imating cannonading, in savage sor- j
ties in which entire regiments are )
mowed down, as that now witnessed ,
In the Russo-Japanese war. The old ,
barbarism of the nations, still burns '
in each, while above It, and adding
fuel to its frenzy, is a struggling civ
ilized ideal of patriotism, which is
as fearless of death and more cun
ning to direct Its slaughters. When
this war is over and that vexed East
ern question is settled satisfactorily
jo the powers, the last great inter
national battle ground and bone of
contention will have been removed
and it is hoped that by that time,
bo.h Slav and Jap will have advanced
beyond the stage of savagery that
makes the present struggle horrible.

Read I once a golden story
Of King Arthur's wonder court,
Launcelot and Guinevere,
All the knights of brave report;
But amidst the loving, hating.
Like a cuckoo clock, repeating.
"Once upon a time."
Will our lives when we have lived
them
Seem like stories we have read?
Stories which our nurses told us
As we lay all snug in bed.
Will they seem -as vague t as dreams
are,
All the days we thought sublime?
Shall we hear the faint. low whisper,
"Once upon a time?"
When the earth, and day and sunlight
Grayly fade away;
When the years that we have lived

Seem like one brief day
Shall -wo -hear again at twilight
Echo of our nurse's rhyme,
"Here you lived and loved and la

Big Salaries of America
The Inrgest salaries paid any rail
road president in tho United Stntes
is $75,000. A. J. Cassatt of the Penn
sylvania. James Hill of the Great
Northern and J. F. Loree of the Rock
Island draw salaries of $75,000 a
year. The presidents of a number of
the other large railroad systems draw
a salary or $.'0.0. Three years ago
F. D. Underwood was general man
ager of tho Baltimore & Ohio, when
one day he received a message from
J. p. Morgan asking him to call at
. .... .
his office. Mr. Morgan asKOu mm to
mako an inspection of tho Erie and
report on .the possibilities of tho
company. After ..Mr. Underwood had
made his inspection ho was called in
to Mr. Morgan's office one day and
asked what he had found. Ho replied
that with freo sway ho could save 20
per cent of the cost of operating the
Eric, and put In on a par with the
other trunk lines. He. said that it
would take the hardest work of his
life, and that he would stake his repu
tation on it for $50,000 a year. His
terms were accepted. Samuel H.
Tntesdale of the 1-ackawanna. E. H.
Rlplev of the Atchison. Marvin Hugh-
!itt of the Chicago & Northwestern,
and William H. Newman of the New
York Central are amoing tho railroad
presidents who are understood to
draw salaries of $50,000 a year. Jos.
Ramsey, Jr., of the Wabash is credit
ed with receiving a salary of $40,000
a year. B. F. Yoakum ot the St.
Louis & San Francisco and Sir Wil
liam Yan Horn, the head of the Ca
nadian Pacific, each draws a salary
of $35,000 a year. There are a num
ber of other railroad presidents who
receive from $25,000 to $35,000 a year.
In the matter of salaries, the large
industrials appear to be more liberal
than the railroads. S. C. T. Dodd, the
general solicitor of the Standard Oil
Company, probably receives as large
a salary as any other person in the
country. Including commissions he
receives $250,000 a year. Mr. Dodd
is John D. Rockefeller's closest legal
adviser. During his early life he j
foucht John D. Rockefeller so sue-1
cessfullv that Rockefeller determined ;
to secure him as his own attorney.
Next to John D. Rockefeller the up-
building of the Standard Oil
Com-
uany is more largely due to S,
C. T.
Dodd than to any other single Indi
vidual. For many years Mr. Dodd
has drawn a salary from the Standard
Oil Company of ?25o,ooo a year. At
I the present time his salary is largely
' In the nature of a jenslon. as Mr.
Dodd is not as active in the affairs
) of the company as he was five years
, ago. It is not known what salary
John D. Rockfeller draws as the pres
ident of the Standard -.1 Company.
As chairman of the board of directors
of tne old standard Oil trust he used
to uraw a faiary of only $35,000 a
year.
" wiitm Charles M. Schwab was the
president of the United Stales Steel
poration. makes a commission on the
volume of the business of the com
pany. Adolphus Busch president of the
Anheuser - Busch Brewing Association,
receives $75,000 a vear.
, , ' , . t, .,
It Is not known what salary H. H.
Rogers draws as president of the
Amalgamated Copper Company. Mr.
Rogers succeeded Marcus Daly, who
received a salary of $100,000.
Henry O. Havermeyer. president of
the American Sugar Refining Com-
j pany, is said to draw a salary 01
$100,000 a year,
C. A. Coffin, president of the Gen
eral Electric Company, is understood
to receive a salary of $75,000 a year.
THE ART OF EXTRAVAGANCE.
Multi-millionaires, In their efforts
to spend enough of the Interest on !
their money to keep the increment 1
from assuming unwieldy proportions,
sometimes resort to strange expedi
ents. Building enormous mausoleums,
steam yachts, houses that they do not
need, running racing stables, backtm
theatrical companies these are some
ot the well known methods. Others
squander their money on Jewelry and
devise original wayB of doing it.
Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston
copper king, who is writing an expos
ure of the Amalgamated Copper
frauds for Everybody's Magazine,
however, has recently had made a
bit of Jewelry which, while it repre
sents the art of spending money in a
strange way, also expresses a pretty
bit of sentiment.
Mr. Lawson's affection for his wife
Is notable, and It has been his wont
to refer to her by the pet name of
"Gypsy." At his request Mrs. Law
bon has frequently figured In photo
graphs in gypsy costume, and these
pictures her husband thinks much of.
Recently he has had a watch chain
made that reminds him of Mrs. Law
son, If at any moment sho should
leave his thoughts. It consists ot 133
gold beads, each carved by hand, to
represent a gypsy girl's head. Tho
work Is magnificent and consumed a
great deal of time on the part of the
cleverest engravers In the country.
Tho chain hangs around the wearer's
neck, and comes to his waist, emerg
ing from beneath his waistcoat and
attaching to his watch. This watch,
which Is a beautiful piece of work
manship, is further embellished by
having Jn Us case four pictures of
Mrs. I-awson, all In gypsy costume.
The chain and VatcU together repre
sent a total expense of nearly $40,
000 making tho combination about as
valuable a ono as 1b carried by any
man in America for the sole purpose
1 of telling tho time of day.
AN INCIDENT OF, WAR
In his uniform soaking and draggled,
with tho blood in his sleepless
eyes,
Hungry and dirty nnd bearded ho
looks at tho morning skies,
He feels for his pipe In tho blanket,
ho calls to his chum for a light
When a buglo sounds on the chilling
air. and he stands in his boots
upright.
There Is jingling of chains and tho
straining of harness, the clash-
ig or steei,
And the gunner swings off at a gallop
nn 1. hllnl-lAa flirt fiHIIP In nlQ
ns he buckles the spur to nis
heel,
There are whispers, and jestlngs,
nnd laughter then tho scream'
of n rushing shell,
And the crash of tho guns from tho
trenches that fling back tho
gateways of hell.
In his uniform soaking and grimy he
stands with his gun In his
place,
While the bullets peck at the riven
ground and spit up the earth
in his face;
He stands as he stood In a scarlet
coat with a crowd at the bar
rack gate,
Hut tho colonel knows what his heart
Is at, and ho whispers: "It's
coming. Wait!"
So he glares at the smoke from the
trenches, so he chats to his
chum on his right,
Muddy and thirsty and frozen but
setting his teeth for tho fight,
Ann ne sianus line a tock uirougii
; tne morning wun tne uuu oi
his gun at his toe
Till the bugles ring and ho leaps to
the front, with his bayonet
IKiInt at the foe.
To the mouth of the sputtering can
non, to the ridge where the ri
fles flame,
On! with a shout that is strong as
the blow though he's tortured
nnd spent ana inme,
Through the line of the reeling foe-
men. through the hall of the
hissing lead
He wins to the rocks with his bay-
onet-point ana staggers among
the dead.
In his uniform soaking and tattered 1
he lies with the mist In his
eyes. 1
The sun has set and the air Is still
but he looks no mote on the
skies
The Hps of the cannon are frothless.
there Is rest In the worn brig
ade, .
And the only sound on the stricken
field, is tho noise of his com
rade's spade.

CAMPAIGN HOTAIROGRAPHS.
Now
soon the helpless atmosphere
with gestures will be rent
j And air of heated temperature upon
lis uosom spent.
And suff'rlng platforms will be pawed
with wild, uneasy feet.
And all the echoes be ablaze with
oratorio heat.
One set of stiffs will point with pride
to national affairs.
Another view them with alarm in
vocal trumpet blares;
The country will be safe from harm
and on destruction's brink,
When salaried spellbinders come, to
tell us how to think.

eases, of Iluflalo,
N Y , "and a
healthy mind, and
everyone can culti
vate and enjoy hap
piness." y We must eat
properly and di
gest well to be
beautiful. It Is a
fact that any form
of dyspepsia may
in a few days trans
form a clear, white
skin into a mas of
pimples and black
spots. A beautiful

beauty of her stom
ach. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Dlscoverv main-
twins a person's nutrition by enabling one
to eat, retain, digest and assimilate the
proper nutritious food. It overcomes the
gastric irritability and symptoms of indi
gestion, and thus the person is saved from
those symptoms of fever, night-sweats,
headache, etc., which are so common. A
tonic made up largely of alcohol will
shrink the corpuscles of the blood and
make them weaker for resistance.
This is to certify that I bare used Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, think It's
the grandest medicine In the world." wrile Mrs.
V. M, Young, or Weir. W Va. I hsd dyspepsia
in its worst form. I decided to try your med
icine. I Ubed five Lotties, and now I am doing
my own housework. A number of my friends
also are uting Dr. Pierre's medicine and they
recommend it highly. May God bless you in
your grand work "
Dr. Pierce believes that a tonic made with
alcohol will shrink the red blood corpuscles
and make (hi- system weak for resistance;
that is why lie avoided the use of any alco
hol or narcotics in his "Medical Discovery,"
which contains the pure extract from roots
and herbs without a particle of alcohol.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical
Discovery" There is nothing "just as
good" for dyspepsia or debility,
