“It’s Morgan’s.”
By Edmund Vance Cooke, in The Cleveland Press.
J came to H mill by the river sid<-,
A half mile long and nearly as wide,
With a forest of stacks and an army of men
Toiling at furnace amt shovel and pen.
“What a inost magnificent plant!” I fcried,
And a man with a smudge on his face replied.
“It’s Morgan’s.”
1 entered a train and rode all day
(In a regal coach and a right of way
Which reached its arms all over the land
In a system too large to understand.
“A splendid property this!” I cried,
And the mail with a plate on his hat replied.
“It’s Morgan’s.
1 sailed on a great ship, trim and true.
From pennant to keel and cabin to crew.
And the ship was one of a monster fleet:
A first-class navy could scarce compete.
“What a beautiful craft she is!” T cried,
And a man with skimbo legs replied,
“It’s Morgan’s.” .
I dwelt in a nation filled with pride,
Her people were many, her lands were wide,
Her record in war and science and art
Proved greatness of muscle and mind and heart,
“What a grand old country it is !” I cried.
And a man with his chest in the air replied,
“It’s Morgan’s.”
I went to heaven. The Jasper walls
Towered high and wide, and the golden halls
Shone bright beyond.' But a strange new mark
Was over the gate viz: “Private park.
“Why, what is the meaning of this?” I cried.
And a saint with a livery on replied,
“It’s Morgan’s”
I went to the only place left. “I’ll take
A chance in the boat on the brimstone lake,
Or perhaps l may be allowed to sit
On the griddled floor of the bottomless pit.”
But a leering lout with horns on his face
Cried out, as he forked me off the place,
, £ “It’s Morgan’s.”

The announeemect that Colonel
Obear has been retired will be re

one of the most efficient men in

is one of the most popular officers

Monday at Butts superior court
Mr. Ike Bashinsky, proprietor of
the Wigwam hotel at Indian
spring, was tried in the superior
court which is in session this week
for operating a “blind tiger" at
his hotel at that famous reshrt
last summer and was fined by
Judge E. J. Reagan s(*>oo in one
case. This case created interest
and the large fine placed upon Mr.
Bashinsky shows that Judge Rea
gan is endeavoring to stop the.
“blind tigers” from operating at
this summer resort.
Several Pike county people were
at the Wigwam when the famous
: raid was made but happily none
knew the “tiger” personally.

THE SCHEME WORKED.
A. Scheme by Which Brown ftnleled
Ills Wife’s Suspicion.
To be perfectly honest. Brown does
not go to his Griswold street office
every night that he tells his wife he
Is going there. The business which he
says is pressing is frequently imagi
nary and the man whom he is going
to meet does not exist. He belongs
to a club, and clubs have their attrac
tions. He thought that his wife was
growing suspicious, and Brown is re
sourceful.
On the evening in question, as the
lawyers would say. he told her that
there was a matter of business that
could not possibly be deferred until the
next day. About 9 o’clock she answer
ed the ’phone and was asked if Brown
was at home, and she replied that he
was at his office.
“Guess not,” was the alarming re
spouse. “I was just down there and
all looked dark ”
She rang off viciously, if women wer
do such things, ordered a coupe, told
the driver to go as fast as the ordi
nance allows, kept taking on temper as
she went and flew up stairs to the
office as though a mouse were in hot
pursuit. Her husband met her smil
ingly. insisted that she had given him
a delightful surprise, put his easiest
chair near the light handed her a pa
per and apologized for having to re
sume work that would possibly keep
him till 3. She could not explain, she
could not keep awake, she was asham
ed of herself, and after lamely telling
him that she had dreamed that he was
ill she left.
In ten minutes he was at the club
and shook hands with a man who smil
ingly asked if the scheme worked.
He replied that it was as good as ready
money for at least CO days, and then
each bought a stack of chips that pass
in the night.—Detroit Free Press.
