DEADLY DUEL.

John Kelly. owner OF herd of Ga. were
driving in company from Arizona east.
North of Trinidad, Col, ON the plains the two

Kelly to drive north to Denver On the

been made, and Howard insisted on having
his stock but was unwilling To deliver kci-

apart, and at a signal from the employers the
fight began At the first fire four men were

POTPOURRI.

Childhood is the miracle of tho ages.
Joy is moth with wings of dust.
To grow old to men is to become
young to the angels.
Woman's friendship is theory that
never yet has been put to practice.
The pages of our lives that to tho
world seem darkest, in Gods eyes may
be luminous rs stars.
Fame is to give our hearts blood,
that violet may bloom from our dust
in an hundred years.
The years are usurers that filch us of
beauty, and love, and JOY, and give us
no coin in return.
To guilty soul the fall of a leaf
sounds like the crack of doom.
Spring is the sunrise of the year;
death is the sunrise of the soul.
Love leaves more ruin in his path
than war.
Imagination is the perfume Of the
mind.
Fate is the dark shadow that forever
crosses our sunshine.
When the devils garments are whit
est he means the most mischief
Harmony is Gods voice to the soul.
Revenge is the brutality Of little
mind.-Fdnny DriscoH

THE TIME OF APPLE-BLO0M.
By wAI. LYLE.

How sweet thoughts Joined together
Through minds airy chambers sweep,
In whirling groups all shadowless,
When waking aud In sleep.
Love-dreamings of the long past days,
And summers flowery train,
Crowd ceaseless at the trysting hour
To bless the world tried brain,
And, sure as those dear measures come.
My darkness to Hume,
think Of Mary Arnold,
And the time of applc-bloom.
We strayed beneath the speckled trees,
We painted future bliss:
Like kindred tints our hearts were Joined,
And the sealing was kiss.
The bloom fell round us, futtering
Like snow-tiakes, soft aud meet,
But they had no touch of beauty,
Like the bloom on Mary's check.
Oh! even now, though years have passed,
One breath of that perfume
Brings thoughts of Mary Arnold
And the time Of apple-bloom.
There Is no Mary Arnold now,
Though the apple blooms the same,
She gave true love her heart to keep,
And true love changed her name.
She sits beside me and see
A beauty seen not then
No less now is her hearts true worth
Than when we strolled the glen.
And when the fretting cares OF life
Would cover us with gloom,
kiss the Mary dear vino made
SO sweet the apple bloom.

THERE is a good deal of illusion about
the rise of the Nile. 1t seems 10 he
thought that for few weeks the delta
and the valley of the Nile are & lake,
and then that they are muddy swamp.
The water of the Nile flows into canals
from thence it is pumped every morn
ing, as long as the rise lasts, into small
rills, which permeate the fields, which
are thus irrigated every morning. The
water cvaporates every day, leaving in
the evening dry mud. Thus, except in
some low-lyimg districts, there never is
an cxpansc of water or mud.

A FAMOUS OLD xoUsE FOR RExr.

Ferd Castle, in Northumberland, En-
gland, around which was fought the
famous fight of Flodden Field, is adver-
tised to be let, at which antiquarians
are grieyously shocked. This castle is
of great antiquity, though nothing GER
tain is known of it until 1887, when it is
a matter of history that extensive re-
pairs were made. Toward the end of
the fourteenth century it was partially
dismantled in border fray. In 1913 it
was cs..rea. BY I James Y. 9; Scotland.
This is the date of the true romance OF
Ford Castle. King James found that
Lady Heron, wife of the possessor OF
the castle, had remained behind to
guard it against the enemy while her
husband was prisoner over the border.
The King became infatuated with tho
Lady Heron ere he had long possessed
the place, and, for her sake, it is said,
refrained from destroying it. 1t was
his dallying, say the historians, that
cost King James his awful fato on Flod-
den Field. Lady Heron, it appeared
afterward, was in constant communica-
tion with the English General, Lord
Surrey. who took advantage of the de-
lay and rushed on to Flodden. The
room occupied by the King is still pre-
served in the old portion of the edifice'
