LIE DID IT.
From an anecdote told by William'
Eleroy'Curtis in his "‘Yankees of the,
East” it may be in feared that the atti
•tode of the small boy toward a fence
is t l»e same in Japan as in other count-
ries. Mr. Gotod, the missionary, built
himself a modern house on what is
known as •“The bluff.” south of Yoko-
hama, amd »*rnoended his grounds
with tiie first fence that was ever
built in tiiat part of the world. It
was neade ©f bamboo pailings, and the
bays of the neighborhood used to
annoy the -good missionary greatly by,
rattliag sticks against At-as they ran
•along the street.
The Britis.i admiral dived just above
him, and had a very natty Tommy At-
kins for an orderly, lie wore a little

THE BOOMER
Along the bleak, far-lying hills lie sees
The faint first promise of noonday gold;
And in the raiirmer of a breeze
To him the future marvel is fonetold—
Upspringing cities, harvest manifold—
llis bosom swells with prophecies like these-
Kueecss his creed, lie laughs at Fortune’s
fTOivn
Hope springs diuenal in his busy brain,
At morn a wilderness, at noon a town.
At eve, pereeance, a wilderness again.
What then? Behold, along the 1 western
plain
He beams anew—his spirit will not down.
The golden hue of morning dims and dies
To dusk and dreams beyond the evening
rim
He follows it, and 1«! behind him rise
The homes of sturdy ones, the purpose
grim
To build a state, and these, who laugh at
him
Reap from bis rack of dreitns the prize.
CRANKS.
Some fellows are eontirwiaUy croak
ing against the “existing 'order of
tilings." First comes the pelitical
crank with a belly full of liaison and
beans, and gas pouring out his nos-
trils; he elevates Iris leyebrowe, snorts
and then‘harraugties oil the ‘’existing
■order of tilings,” attributing any irreg
■ularity he may find to the said order
and loudly lamenting. Then comes
’the religious crauk squawking ab »it<
•the decadence cf the churoll and clergy
preaching r. thcorum upon which lie
stumbled during an attack of “crankl-
mouia.” Ue sees not hing but failure
and believes himself to be the only
man who lias not bowed down to Baal.
Then conies the economic crank, the
educational crank, andustrial crank,
and cranks of ail kinds lambasting
the “existing order of things,” and
talkiuk of a time when they will be
senile machines, pulseless, dead. Our
study of cranks has convinced us that
they are simply bumps on the log of
life and are ignorant, shiftless, and
worthless. They don’t see that this is
the grandest time in all history, be-
cause they know nothing of history.
A curefifl study of this world,s history
up to thn :19th century would convince
any thin Icing man of the overtopping
superiority and splendor of our time
as contrasted with any other age
known to mankind. The historian
remembers when Rome’s population
was 80 per cent slaves with deprivat-
ion ;muoerfdem. Also the dark ages
and the trail of blood which reveals
the oppression of the millions always
who had no voice^o raise. This is
the greatest time the world lias ever
seen for all classes and should lie
hailed with delight.

due to the product of the kegs, began
to disagree about which was the pro-

broken bronchos they behaved in an

efforts to hold them to their allegiance

neighbors say, who saw the tortuous
