Some time ago Wilbur +. Storey, of Chi
cago Times, set the Western newspaper
men on the qui vive by mortgaging his
newspaper building for $50, 600 The other
day one of his old reporters, who is now a.
work on the Cheyenne Leader, spied Storey
in Pacific express Car and straiglItway
tackled him. Storey was shy at first but
finally told the reporter that he was bound
for San Francisco to make arrangements
for the publication Of the Times in that
city every morning. The San Fancisco
edition of the Times will be identical with
the Chicago edition, except in the matter of
local news. TeleRraphic aud editorial mat
ter will be wired from Chicago t. Frisco,
special arrangements having been made
with a Geographic company.

country newspapers !

About her cheek the blush ana smile

"a very cage of loye,)
And fearlessly she flutters in,
His willing, captive dove!
She leaves to mateess wanderers
The bouudless realms OF air,
Content to find the breadth OF heaven,
With all its freedom there
Oh, solemn sweet the spoken vows
That bind the twain in one
Oh pure and strong the knotted iroth
That cannot he undone!
Oh, deep and fond the fervent yes
Breathed forth with praycrIul BREATH
Oh, close the hand-casp that can he
Unelaspcd alone by DEATH

And not tho shadow Of fear
Her perfect trust can blur;
For is she not the world To him
And he, the world to her
Der all the future with faith
Serene she looks abroad,
And doubts Of him no more than sha
Would dare 10 doubt Of God,
