TIX1AMDDIÍJ Olili, Ö. D, THE MRS. MORTGAGE. The mortgage had a hungry maw that swal lowed corn and w heat; He toiled with patience night and day to let the monster eat; He slowly worked himself to death, and on the calm hillside They laid beyond the monster’s reach good God-Be Glorified. And he went forth every morning to the rug ged mountain side. And he dug, as dug before him poor old God- Be Glorified. He raised pumpkins and potatoes down the monster’s throat to pour; He gulped them down and smacked his jaws, and calmly asked for more. He worked until his back was bent, until his hair was gray; On the hillside through a snowdrift they dug his grave one day! His first born son, Eliphalet, had no time to weep and brood. For the monster by his doorstep growled for-» ever for his food. LEASE. Extract» from a Speech Made by a Now FatnouM Kanaias Woman. He bought !n MG5 a farm of stumps and Ftonea. His name waa God-Be Glorified, bis surname it was Jones. He put a mortgage on the farm, and then in conscious pride, “In twenty years I’ll pay it up,’’ said God-Be G iorilied. And the farm with all its incumbrance« of mortgages, stumps and stones. It fell to young Mclcbizedck Paul Adoniram Jones; Melchisedck wm a likely youth, a holy godly man. And he vowed to raise that mortgage like a noble Puritan. MARY Mrs. Mary Lease, of Kansas, the lady who has made a national repatation for herself in her support of the Farmers' Alliance, addressed an audience of goed size at Music hall. The listeners were delighted with the talk, in spite of the fact that it was a bitter attack upon the two old parties to which many of them belonged. It was a speech full of ciisp, meaningful sayings, flights of oratory that one seldom hears from the lipa of a female speaker, well told stories and a mass of figures and logic. Mrs. Lease is a woman slightly above the ordinary height, of middle age, with black hair in which little or no trace of gray can be seen. This hair she combs back, ex hibiting a high forehead that lends an indication of the mental caliber of the woman. She was attired yesterday afternoon in plain black, with a heavy lace scarf about her neck. The speaker used no notes, having nothing in her hand but a handkerchief, which, woman like, she found indispensable. She went right into the midst of her subject, and from tho first word made everything she said clear to her hearers. Mrs. Lease has a voice that would fill the largest auditorium in the world, and it had no difficulty whatever yesterday in delving into every nook and corner of Music hall. She talked rapidly, hand ling the coinage question, railroad land grants, liquor legislation and kindred topics without gloves. She paid par ticular attention to ex-Senator John J. Ingalls and tho two dominant parties. This trio was severely scored. In her reference to Ingalls she said: Tillamook, Opposite Larson House. The Kind ot Bien They Ar,. The Alliance state convention in this city was remarkable in many respects. Creston is the metropolis of the blue grass region of southwest Iowa, which has always been a stronghold of anti monopoly. There was very little ad vertising of the convention, and very few of the citizens of Creston knew that they were being honored with their first state convention. Yet there was a large attendance, and a three days’ session of profound interest to all the participants. To those who closely oliservod the charac ter of the men who attended this con vention there was a revelation of the secret of the strength of the Alliance movement. They were representative farmers of influence aud strength. Every delegato was a man whose face j showed not only intelligence but reso- j lute earnestness of purpose. One of the most significant features aboutthese men | was the fact that they were men of means—the business men of the agri cultural classes. Not one of them was rich, as that term is now understood, but they had obtained success in farming by their own talents and energy, despite the obstacles which class legislation has thrown across their paths. Another characteristic of the mon in attendance upon the Creston convention is worthy of note. Four-fifths of them stopped at cheap hotels and boarding houses, and not one of them patronized the numer ous drinking resorts which abound in tliis progressive city. Frugality and temperance are the rule of life among the leaders of the Farmers’ Alliance. These well to do farmers who practice frugality and temperance and who are the leaders of this great movement are personally unselfish men who have con secrated “their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” to the cause of their less fortunate brethren. Their leaders are not office seeking demagogues, as has often been charged. At the very in ception of the movement these would be leaders were shelved as back numbors, and are only used occasionally for refer ence.—Creston Cor. Chicago Herald. Oregon, KINGS.
