SUNSET SONNET.
Slowly i-inks the life of day
I11 his western home away.
Tinted clouds and skies of blue
Linger still with lovely hue.
Giving earth a parting smile
Our faint courage to beguili-.
But alas, they too must fade
And then darkness—sable maid.
Settles low upon the earth
Bringing sadness—hushing mirth-
Clouding minds with serious thought
Darkness is with evil fraught.

So like sunlight and the day
Human life doth fade awly.

employees and employing plumbers
does not expire until the first ot May.
At a meeting of the journeymen
plumbers a new scale for next year
was arranged, calling for $4..>0 per
day, anil when presented to the em-
ployers was accampanied with tbe
request that it be signed at mice.
The employers refused to do so and
referred the matter to the builder's
exchange, an Intermediate bady
agreed on by both sides same ti 1 e
ago for the adjustment of any (.infer-
ences that might arise. The employ-
ees did not wish to let it be decided
there and served notice an the em-
ploying plumbers that a strike would
be declared this morning if the scale
was nat signed. No strike was de-
clared and the plumbers went to
work as usual.

The people of Knid generally are
i,tuck on boring a prospect hole
down Into the earth to see what we

prise of It; while others are willing
ta subscribe money and ake a pri-
vate affair of It. If the city council
cannot see their way clear to take
hold of the enterprise, owing ta
water works and other expenses,
there should be no objection to pri-
vate individuals putting their money
