Golden Dreams

HUGH MCCAMMON, of Colorado, is in
luck. He has found the whole world
flowing with milk and honey, and life a
golden dream. The Knoxville (Tenn)
papers tell little story about him, which
ought to encourage all young men to go
West. Twenty years ago he moved, with
his widowed mother and eight brothers
and sisters, from Sweetwater, Tenn, to
Missouri He was then eighteen years of
age, and had formed a strong attachment
for Mary Taylor, Il schoolmate, then
girl of thirteen. The young lovers ex-
changed vows of eternal fidelity and
sealed them up in their hearts before
parting. Hugh was poor and resolved
that his wife should be rich. He would
not return to claim and ask her to link
her fate with mis- until he could shower
gold upon her and strcw her path with
roses. Through the long years that fol
lowed, the lovers wrote letters full OF
hopes and dreamed dreams of coming
bliss The breaking out of the war inter
rupted the correspondence, but when the
clouds cleared away they informed each
other that they were alive and well and
true rs ever. Soon after this young Nc
Cannon went prospecting in Colorado.
He pre- emptcd Il tract of land and added

property. In company with two or three
others he began to hunt Tor silver, and
found lcdcs OF it. They opened the mine
and wealth rolled out of the earth upon

and in the fall of 1913 they sold it to Il
company of Eastern capitalists for 3d.

mcnsely valuable, too. His touch seemed
to turn everything 10 gold. But in the
flush of his prosperity in Colorado his
heart was still in safe keeping in Tcnnes-
see. lie lately passed through Denver on
his way South. The papers called him a
'Crnsus" Since that, The local paper
of Sweetwattr has announced that Mr..
Hugh McCammon, of Colorado, was mar
ried to Miss Tay lor, of that place, and the
couple Immediately left for Colorado.
And those two had not met for twenty
wears before the day they were married.
Each was worth the others waiting for.
1t is not often that schoolboys and school
girls loves pan out such abundance of
tervor and faith. In this instance the

WISHING DISHES.


By MISS CARRIE E ELLIS.
LET boys have all the sport they will
In running. walking, riding
The girls a surer pleasure have,
And one that's more abiding.
The boys may hunt and fly their kites,
Or try all day for fishes.
But o. there's nothing in the world
So nice Us washing dishes.
There's much to see and talk about
Within this world of ours,
There's much to love and 10 admire
In poetry and flowers;
But there cannot a girl be found
Who asks, or hopes or wishes
For any better pleasure than
The fun Of washing dishes.
Let tourists talk about the Rhine,
OF cataracts and fountains,
The wonders OF Yosemite.
And majesty Of mountains;
Let nnsers tell the happiness
They find iii boarding riches
One pleasure still above them all
Is that OF washing dishes
The happiness girls find in this
No tongue or pen can measure,
And always it is Just the same,
A never-ending pleasure.
Let lovers talk and stng of love,
The magic charm in kisses.
But all. they never half conceived
The bliss of washing dishes.
Perhaps within the years to come
When women get to voting.
The men Will then their energies
To dishes be devoting.
All. we shall hail that glorious day.
The crowning OF our wishes,
When men snail know the luxury

ROBINS calling to their mates,
Pink buds on the trees,
Bia-lambs Skipping through the gates,
Cows that lie at ease,
Tender blades Of twinkling grass,
Sunshine warm and deep,
Hills that look like shining glass,
Vines that upward creep
All things whisper, children dear,

Misis of purple, gray and gold
Round the mountains high;
Fragrant lilacs that unfold
Clear and deep blue sky;
Butiercups and daisies bright
Nodding in The sun;
Hearts that bound with rare delight
For sweet days begun
Love the Giver, children dear,
Spring is here; spring is here!
