He'd nothing but his violin, I'd nothing but my song, But we were wed when skies were blu And summer days were long, And when we rested by the hedge The robins came and told How they had dared to woo and win When early spring was cold. We sometimes supped on dewberries Or slept among the hay, But oft the farmers' wives at eve Came out to hear us play The rare old songs, the dear old tunes; We could not starve for long While my man had his violin And I my sweet love song. The world has aye gone well with us, Oid man. since we were one; Our homeless wandering down the lanes, It long ago was done. But those who wait for gold or gear, For houses or for kine Till youth's sweet spring grows brows and sear And love and beauty pine Will never know the joy of hearts That met without a fear When you had but your violin And I a song, my dear, Mary Kyle Dalla AFTER consulting with President Roosevelt yesterday on the forthcongressional elections, Speaker Cannon announced that durthe campaign the Republican party would stand on its record. In view of what the last congress acit will have to be adthat Mr. Cannon could not have chosen a better vantage ground for his party's stand. THE CITY assessor has placed a valof $73,225 on William JenBryan's property in Lincoln, Neb. That means that he is worth in the neighborhood of $100,000. And he made it all, too, in those terble years of calamity which he omised would result if Bryan and to 1 should not win. THE state board of health under the leadership of Dr. Hurty is acresults. Indiana has made gigantic strides toward pure food during the last year;. It is necessary that this work be continby the state. The national law taking effect next January cononly products intended for intrade. All the states, if pubhealth is to be guarded, must be alert to the illegal practices of stuff manufactured and sold within the states. In speaking of the great work already acomplished in Indiana the Indianapolis News aptly says: "The battle for pure food is not yet won, but the peole are in a fair way to win it. It would be hard to overestimate the importance of the service performed by our state board of health. It is entitled to the thanks of the people. We suggest that the prosecutors of the state might suplement its efforts if they could only bring themselves to the point of realizing that they too have duties to perform in this regard." Germany is indeed the land of muAnd it may well be that no one can really know music without going there. To be at one with the soul of music one must come to the beauland of the Rhine. For music is of the very life of the people. These people have called forth the great masters of sound. They have called forth men of genius who have woven the strange and the mighty tone pictures that thrill the world. They have evoked Bach, Handel, Moand the mighty Beethoven. You hear music everywhere as you go along over this land of wide-stretch-plains, and forests, and noble rivers. Germany is a land of glorand beautiful sound. And how fine it is to wander along listening to hear the voices arising from the distance! A land of song! To this race has been intrusted the message that music holds for mankind. They have sent forth glorious evangels of music. THE POOR CONDUCTOR. While sympathizing with the conand motorman who were so sorely beset by thugs on the trip out rom Chicago yesterday evening, we cannot overlook a few lapses from grace of which some of those overservants of the public have een guilty. How many a time and ft have you see conductors and motormen take advantage of the upport ot the same manner of thug hen they, the conductor and

motorman, have attempted to hubrowbeat and abuse repassengers? In a long trip a conductor is disposed to cultivate the sympathy of the tough element in his load because he is afraid. With a thought for the soundness of His own skull and the well being of the wife and children at home his judgment teaches him to follow the line of least resistence. No matter how much the trace of chivalry in his blood may curdle at the sight of the decent wife of a decent man beinsulted by a gang of drunken tough; no matter how his religious training may revolt at the sound of obscene jests thrown in the faces ot his respectable passengers, what can he do? His personal safety depends upon his remaining neutral or taksides with the oppressor against the oppressed. After awhile when he becomes into his work, he finds it easier to let the toughs run his car or his train. He cultivates a pleasant smile for the "rough house guy" and all he has for the decent person who has been insulted consists of a few philosophic remarks or a gratuitous addition to the injury. Any decent citizen who resigns himself to the trip from 63rd street to Hammond or from Hammond to 63rd street on a Saturday or Sunday night can see the point of this. It is an experience which few care to repeat. There is absolutely no profrom insult or assault. The car is as lawless as a pirate ship. It is a case of "If you don't like it, get out and walk. Elsewhere in this issue is printed an article on the twelve hours' round of a conductor on the trolley line between here and Chicago. Read it and then ask yourself, "What can a poor conductor do?"

Between Trains By the way--did the Czar get his summer vacation yet? Not now, but soon. W. J. Bryan seems to have secured the electorial vote of the Douma. A dump keeper always thinks it is "dead wrong" when he sees it in print. Gov. Hanly's book is full of Chaudates. That may account for the leakage in the lid. It takes a brave man to take a Sunday night trip on the trolley to 63rd street. These are the dog days. That's the reason so may people set up a howl for a vacation. Peter Crumpacker says he caught 36 trout in one day. That's not so bad for Pete.. Now is the time to begin to comthe statistics of Gary. Two men have died so far.

LIVING FOR THE FLAG.

A Beautiful Example of Devotion From Our War Records. One of the most touching as well as the most beautiful examples of devoto the flag is to be found in the records of our civil war. The Sixregiment of Connecticut volunafter three days of the hardest and bloodiest of fighting became conthat defeat and capture by the enemy was imminent. The ranks were depleted, and to hold out longer would only involve needlessly further sacri fice of life. But even in their hour of peril the zealous patriots thought more of the fate of their battle scarred flag than of their own. Just before the final assault on the breastworks the gallant colonel shouted to his men, "Whatever you do, boys, don't give up our flag; save that at any price!" In an instant the flag was torn from its staff and cut and torn into hundreds of small fragments, each piece being hidden about the person of some one of it brave defenders. The survivors of the regiment, about 500 in number, were sent to a prison camp, where most of them remained until the end of the war, each cherishhis mite of the regimental colors. Through long months of imprisonment many died, and in all such cases the scraps of bunting guarded by the poor unfortunates were intrusted to the care of some surviving comrade. At the end of the war when the prisreturned to their homes a meetof the survivors was held, and all the priceless fragments of the flag were sewed together. But a very few pieces had been lost, so that the reemblem was made nearly comThat flag, patched and tattered as it is, forms one of the proudest possesof Connecticut today and is prein the state capitol at Hartford, bearing mute testimony to the devo tion of the brave men who were not alone ready and willing to die for it ou the field of battle, but to live for it through long years of imprisonment in order that they might bring it back whole to the state that gave it into their hands to honor and defend.--St. Nicholas. NAIL CHARACTERISTICS. They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Disand Traits. It is said that the moon at the base of the nail is simply an indication of good health and excellent circulation, while the white spots are always the accompaniment of an impaired nervsystem.

Frequently the moon is there, but through negligence it is covered by skin, which without attention will grow upward over the base of the nail. It is not generally understood that the shape and appearance of the finger nails are carefully considered, and form an important factor in the diagnosis of disease. Long nails are said to indicate physical weakness and tendency to lung trouble, and this tendency is agwhere the nails are corrugatand yet more aggravated if they curve from the top back to the finger and across.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

RAILROAD NOTES George Lowell, general superinof the Monon line; spent Monday in the city visiting the yards, looking after improvements and so forth, leaving on the evening train over the C., H. & D. for Cinto confer with officials of the C., H. & D. regarding expediting the movements of certain trains.

W, H. McDoel, president of the Monon line, is out on the road visitthe stone quarries at Bedford and other business interests on that line. He gets around very quietly, but keeps in close touch with every imin progress. All records for railway construction have just been broken by the Pullman company by completing at its shops 1,500 cars in twelve days This is 30 more cars than were ever built by one concern in the same length of time. Another Big Four passenger conis in trouble. An official of the road, in commenting on the matsaid yesterday it seemed that even the best men could not resist passing friends over the road without paying their fare. All of the men understand that the rule is imperathat every person that rides on the train unless he has a pass from the higher officials of the road must pay his fare, and in spite of this every few days we hear of some condisobeying the rule in this reVirginia's two-cent-a-mile pessenrate law has been declared invalby Judge Holt of the corporation court, siting at Staunton. The court held that the act is in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States. In section one of this amendment it is provided "that no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of law." The accident bulletin, which has just been isued by the Interstate Commerce commission, for the three months ending March 31, 1906, show the total number of causalties to pasand employes to be 18,296 (1,126 kiled and 17,170 injured). This is an increase of seventeen in the number killed and fifty-two in the number injured over those re ported in the preceding three months. The total number of passengers and employes killed in train acciwas 274, as aginst 320 in the preceding thre months, a decrease of forty-six in the number killed. The total number of collisions and derailments was 3,490, (1,921 collisions and 1,569 derailments), of which 289 collisions and 167 derail ments affected passenger trains. The damage to cars, engines and roadway by these accidents amounts to $2,924,785. There is also a decrease of 232 in the number of collisions and derailments reported in the pre ceding three months. The number of employes killed in coupling and uncoupling cars and engines was eighty-four, being one less than the number killed in the last quarter. In closing the bulletin says: "The most disastrous accident reported i the present bulletin. a collision causing thirty-four deaths and in juring twenty-four, was due to the striking failure of the train dispatch ing system. A telegraph operator at a small lonely station, who had been on duty all day and more than half the night fell asleep, and, on awakmisinformed the train disas to what had occurred while he was asleep. It is pertinent to observe that the block system readopted for preventing such distressing accidents as that reported in accident bulletin No 19, just isWITH THE EDITORS. The public is good and tired of the Thaw case and yet there is one phase of recent reports which excites more or less interest. From the news storthe conclusion is drawn that there is much doubt whether or not the case will ever be tried. It is to be hoped, however, that the trial will be had, for any other termination of the affair would confirm the opinion which has often been advanced that the killing of Stanford White had back of it a scandal of gigantic proinvolving people of wealth and high position.--South Bend TriAnother fast and vicious prize fight was pulled off at Indianapolis Monnight.
