Won't you come back to our kitchen and forgive me if you can? I am longing, Mary, longing for a look into your eyes, And my human self is hungry, huxgry for your Jemon pies; For the matter of a dollar we have drifted far apart, 1 will pay, if you'll forgive me and will forge an apple tart. When I sce the leaden biscuit and the leathery steak I scan, T am on my knees for pardon, for your pardon, Mary Ann. I remember how it happened, it is clear as it can be, How you wanted twenty dollars, and I told you Twenty-three; I was very young and foolish, And I swear it, Mary, swear cooking meant. Tam older now and chastened; won't you pardon me the break? Won't you listen to my pleading and come back to broil a steak? Won't you smother me with mushrooms, fashioned Mary, as you can? Won't you make some fluffy biscuit like you used to, Mary Ann? ‘on my dignity intent, . did not know wh: Ah, if you could lift the biscuit! Ab, if you could only look On the pale, anemic coffee since my wife has had to cook; If you saw the steak the serves me, how our every daily meal From once being a real pleasure has become but an ordeal, You'd have pity, Mary, pity, though your love for me is gone, And you'd hurry back, I know it, and would put the broiler on; And the gravity specific of the biscuits you'd re- duce— Oh, have mercy, Mary, mercy; don't be stubborn— what's the use? Saturday Evening Post. FAKE NEWSPAPERS The independerce of the press is a fake. In every city the papers may appear to fight against one an other upon the rurface, but in every case they have a business combination to shut out the newcomer. The established daily papers in any city are as much a trust as the steel trust or the Standard Oil—v the Associated Press is another national trust—and it is exceptionally rare that any one can break in upon the combination and fight it; and if one does, it must be solely through the possession of financial support, great enough to fight to a finish the estab- lished newspaper wealth of the community, controlling and owning carriers, newsboys and newsdealers abso lutely. Of course, when a new paper so backed suc ceeds it is not to be expected that the paper will take up the cause of the people against the interest of the men of great wealth, who have put their money into the new journalistic enterprise. The newspapers of any city will always be found a unit when there comes up any matter which the public service interests and the interests of the advertisers are a unit. At the height of the recent—or perhaps we should say the present—panic, the daily newspapers were as dumb as oysters before the lawlessness, the brazen effrontery and the sublime nerve of the consolidated banks in refusing to give the depositors their own money, and in issuing promises to pay which had no more validity than the rankest counterfeit. In St. Louis, when one newspaper presumed to utter a feeble chirp upon the subject, in one edition, the office was jammed and crammed with great advertisers, ordered there by the banks, to protest against further criti- cism of the lawless action of the bankers. There was no pretense that what the bankers were doing ‘as right, but the newspaper had to modify its tone, and said very little up to the time that all the “John Smiths” were called in.—William Marion Reedy, in the St. Lowis Mirror.
