POEMS OF THE WEEK.
BY LILA wHEELE


SUNDAY.
Lie still and rest, in that serene repose
That on this holy morning comes to those
Who have been buried with the cares that
make
The sad heart weary and the tired heart ache.
Lie still and rest
Gods day of all Is best.
MONDAY.
Awake! arise! Cast off thy drowsy dreams {
Red in the east, behold the morning CLEANS.
"As Monday goes, so goes the week, danes
say,
Refreshed, relieved, use well the initial day 4;
And see thy neghbor
Already seeks his labor.
TUESDAY.
Another mornings banners are unfurled-
Another day looks smiling on the world
1t beholds new laurels for thy soul to wiz
Mar not its grace by slothfulness or sin,
Nor sad, away
Send it to yesterday.
WEDNESDAY.
Halfway unto the end-the weeks high noon,
The morning hours do speed away so soon
And when the noon is reached however bright,
Instinctively we look toward the night.
The glow is lost
Once the meridians crossed.
THURSDAY.
So well the week has sped, hast thou friend,
Go spend an hour in converse 1t will lend
New beauty to thy labor and thy life
To pause n little sometimes in the strife.
Toll soon seems rude
That has no interlude.
FRIDAY.
From ieasts abstain be temperate, and pray;
Fast if thou wilt and yet, throughout the day,
Neglect no labor, and no duty shirk;
Not many hours are left thee for thy work
And it were meet
That all should be complete
SATURDAY.
Now,with the almost finished task make haste
So near the night, thou hast no time to waste;
Post up accounts, and let thy souls eyes look
For flaws and errors in life's ledger. book.
When labOrs cease.
How sweet the sense off peace

THE SUTRO TUNNEL.

A Rumor that Adolph SutrO VIII
Retire, and that 1t VIII Pass
Under the Control Of the Boz
nanza Firm. Te
Adolph Sutro came to the tunnel
town, accompanied by his two oldest
daughters, the Misses Emma and
Rosa, last Friday, and all three at
once began packing up into large
boxes every portable article in the
residence portion OF the Mansion.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Sutro left
for San Francisco. These move
ments give plausibilily to the ru-
mors current for some time past,
to the effect that, at the annual
meeting of the Sutro Tunnel Com
pany to be held in San Francisco
on the 1st Of next March, the con-
troll Of the Sutro Tunnel will pass
to the bonanza firm, and that w.
H. Patton will, in addition to his
present position Of Superintendent
of the bonanza and other north end
mines, become Superintendent of
that great work. If this proves to
be the case the great tunnel bull
der will be deserving Of pity. AT.
ter, years. of arduous effort in be-
| half Of his gigantic enterprise, ia
Rave it wrested from him just as il
is about to become productive will
be hard indeed! 1t is as if he
were SECOND Moses, dying within
sight Of the Promised Land And
Iths analogy will doubtless, be com
Iplete; for VIC cannot conceive OF

.
Death was busy in Dayton, last
Saturday and Sunday, no less than
three residents of that town dying
within twenty.four hours. The frst
to lead the way to the other life was
Mrs. Lou. MAXWELL, wife of Henry
Maxwell. They had been married
less than a year, after having been
engaged seven years. Mrs. Maxwell
died nf.rheumatism or neuralgia of
the heart, on Saturday afternoon.
She was about "a years old.
John Bender died Saturday night.
The immediate cause of death Is not
known, but he has not been well ever
since, years ago, he was bitten by
Jude Newman's cog. He was very
i'll at the time, and the $500 paid
him on account of the bite by Mr..
Newman barely sufficed to pay the
doctors bills for the consequent i'll
ness. He WAS about go years old.
E. Daggett died at the residence Of
Senator w. ]. Westerfield early Sun
day morning, of paralysis. He was
likewise aged about 90.
All three were buried at Dayton.

deceased include the entire commu-

A Monster Vampire from Asia.

In store in Summitstreet may be
seen an animal the ike-of which but
few people in Toledo have ever seen.
It is monster South Asian vampire,
the much dreaded "blood sucker" of
that country. This rare creature, per-
haps the only living specimen of the
kind in this country, is about one and a
half feet long, has pair of piercing
black eyes which shine like diamonds,
double row of sharp teeth, similar to
those of the weasel, and its powerful
wings when stretched its full length
measure two and half feet from point
to point. The vampire hangs suspend
ed from bar in the center of its cage
by pair of formidable claws, and when
in repose resembles closed umbrella.
Its body is covered with comfortable
coat OF brown fur, while its beautifully
proportioned head, which has remark
able similarity to that OF diminutive
black-and- tan terrier dog, is surmounted
BY a pair of large ell-shaped ears.
This strange creature is almost totally
blind during the day, but at night its
little eyes twinkle with astonishing
brilliancy. The vampire is kept in q
temperature of about seventy degrees,
in order to conform as nearly as posi-
bic with the climate of his native home.
