his hands folded YEARLY in his lap. The

The Old Printer.

And so, year after year, he wrought
among the boys on morning paper. He
went to bed aboutth time the rest of the
world got up, and he arose about the
time the rest of the world sat down to
dinner. He worked by every kind of
light except sunlight. There were can
dies in the Office when he came in; then
they had lard oil lamps that smoked and
sputtered and smelled; then he saw two
or three printers blinded by explosions
of camphOr and spirit gas; then kerosene
came in and heated up the news-room
on Summer nights like a furnace; then
the Office put in gas, and now the electric
light swung from the ceiling and dazzled
his old eyes and glared into them from
his copy. If he sang on his way home a
policeman babe him cheese that" and
reminded him that he was disturbing
the peace and people wanted to sleep.

During the ceremony of unwilling the

dozen voices. "NoW you fellows just shut

A "Reminiscences.
Ell Dorado Republican.

We see it stated that our old friend,
Judge L. D. Bailey, formerly of Emporia,
but for many years a resident of Law
renee, has taken up his residence at Gar
den City, Sequoyah county. In the year
'5S or so, Senator Plumb, Judge Bailey,
A. G, Proctor and one or two other EN-
poria people conceived the notion Of go
ing out on the plains for a buffalo, hunt.
Empori la was a very small town then
and the hunting party not very wealthy.
Skirmishing around for few days they
succeeded in borrowing an old wagon
from one party and yoke of oxen from
another, and by pooling their pocket
books raised enough money to buy
side of bacon, a bag of beans and a sack
of flour, and were off for the hunt. The
OK team belonged to one of the Hall
brothers, and consisted of big stag and
a little steer. Not being adopts in; driv-
ing OK teams, the second day out they
yoked up this team wrong, and the con-
sequence was a runaway, IN which their
baggage was scattered all the way. from
Sycamoie Springs to Chelsea. Arriving
at Dan Cupp's ford, on the Whitewater,
they went into camp for dinner. After
partaking of a bountiful dinner, Judge
Bailey, who IS very tieshy man, con
ceived the idea that he could manage
the team to better advantage, and sug-
gested that kindness was better than a
club. Dilating upon his theory he ap-
preached the stag in an affectionate sort
OF way, remarkingto the crowd that
he would hereafter do the driving. No
sooner had he approached the yoke,
however, than the larger animal gave
him such a terrific kick in the stomach
that it sent him rolling over the grass in
an agony of pain, and it is needless to
say that he at once abandoned his pol
icy toward the OK team. On their re-
turn home they explored Turkey creek
cave. telling Mnnchausen stories about
| it to their friends in Emporia. Senator
| Plumb often refers to his buffalo hunt
and the part taken in it by Judge Bailey
who was then taking his first experience
in roughingit in the West.

AUTHENTIC SPRING POETRY.

What Lowell, Whittier, Emerson, Aldrich
and LOngfellOw Said About 1t.
Spring still makes Spring in the mind,
When sixty years are told;
Love W. kes anew this thrObbing heart,
And we are never old.
-[R. w. Emerson.
And all about the softening air
OF newborn sweetness tells,
And the ungathered May flowers wear
Whittier.
Thus came the lovely Spring with rush OF bios
SONS and music, -
Flooding the earth with flowers and the air with
melodies Vernal.
The south win breaths and 10 you throng
his rugged land of ours;
think the pale blue clouds OF May
Drop down and turn to flowers.
The children hear the birds sing
And the voices ofthe May;
They feel the freshness of morning,
Before the toll of day.
Here ever hum the golden bees
Underneath full-blOssomed trees.

A RUSTY VANE.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.
Such lovely day, ..-..
Sky unclouded blue,
Like an arching U'iIror with
Glory shining through.
Wind like airy wine,
Soft as loves kiss,
Everywhere the sense
Of growth and life and bliss,
Still one sulky vane
Points to the northeast,
Like the skeleton
At mOnarch's feast.
Through the sunshine fingers,
Grieving, as it were,
And with coaXing fingers
5 Every passing air,
Urges it with gentle stress
Full of plying truth,
Toward the way of righteousness
And the point of truth.
Still the moVeless Weather-cOck
Stands implacibly,
Pointing to the northeast
Witnessing lie.
And I think of souls know,
Grim and out of joint,
Which, whatever wind may blow,
Keep the stormy point.
Deaf 10 every bird that sings,
Blind to blue and sun,
PropheSying evil things,
Saddening every one:
Smileless in the smiling air,
Hopeless in the rain.
Influenced by nothing fair,
Like the rusty vane.
Give up, Lord, that hopefulness
Which, made wise in Thee,
When thy hand is stretched to bless,
GTeets it thankfully.
When it storms as storm it will,
BraYely can endure,
Knowing and believing still
In the promise ture.
Quick to mark the guiding sign,
And for doubling eyes
Pointing to the hope divine
In the Frightening skies. .gH.

But others, seeing that there was little
chance of getting their work in" unless
order was restored, insisted on the Sena-
tors ''drying up" Then followed num-
Der of ridiculous motions-to put cigar
cites on the free list, to tax pig iron 500
a ton, to declare women eligible to the
Presidency. The boys kept up their
sport until 1t was announced that the
Senators were returning, when they
scattered. The whole proceeding was a
very clever take off on the Senate.

MY LITTLE GIRL.
BY SAMUEL MnN1URN PECK.

Ny little girl is nestled
Within her tiny bed,
With amber rings crested
Around her dainty head;
She lies so calm and Silly,
She breaths so soft and low,
She calls TO mind lily
Half hidden in the snow.
A weary little mortal
Has gone to slumDer land
The Pixies at the portal
Have caught her by the hand
She dreams her broken dolly
VIII soon be mended there,
That looks so melancholy
Upon the rocking chair.

George McCuIIoch's Death.

The Eureka Sentinel has the follow
ing relative to the death of G. X. Nc.
,Culloch, a brother of A. d. McCulloch,
OF this county:
George McCulloch, who was shot
by J. J. DAILY, at the Reeves & Berry
mine. on the 18th OF June, died yester-
day morning, a few minutes after IL
o'clock, at his own house in Eureka.
The upper wound that the patient re-
ceived, and which passed entirely
through the chest from left to right,
was always considered dangerous, espe-
cially as it could not be known precisely
what the course Of the ball was under
the breast bone. The poor fellow held
up we'll under the distress OF the terri
ble injuries he had sustained, and,
though he had begun to sink Monday
night, and his case appeared hopeless
10 his medical attendants, he deter
mined that he would not die, and he
would not speak, or make any arrange
ments with reference to his death.
When appealed to, he would only say:
. No; that's all right I'll live through
this. I'm not going to die. He fire.
quently said that If he had to die, he
would be satisfied to go, if his side Of
the story could be told and he could Sc
cure a vindication of his innocence of
crime in the fatal alteration on the
Reeves 4 Berry dump. The bondsmen
of Daily, learning of McCulloch's near
approach to death, surrendered him
yesterday morning to the Sheriff. We
learn that a post-mortem examination
OF the body of the deceased will be
made to-day by DR.. Owen and DIR.
Thoma, after which Coroner's inquest
will be held The deceased was ma
tive of Indiana and 50 years old. lie
had been mining for some fourteen
years in this district and came to the
coast when he was a mere boy. In his
illness he was carefully watched and
nursed by his brothers of Eureka Lodge
No. 27, |. o. o. F., of which he was
member in good standing. 1t would be
superiluous to say he enjoyed also ex-
cellent medical care and attention.

want Cinnamon, but we want them a

oftentimes be acceptable; as Laundry

pack animals on the trails they would
be a bonanza. But they had better
stay away just the same. The nat
has gone forth that 10 Celestial can

like Leadville, will never feel the curse
of Coolie cheap labor; there IS but one
voice on the subject. A man who
would advocate Chinese immigration
would be .snubbed. The first repre-
sentative of the Flowery Kingdom will
meet with a reception when in all
probability will satisfy his countrymen
that the mines won't pay. John

must not think Of attempting a visit to
those of Northern Idaho. If he insists
on coming, however, let him bring a

needn't bother about bringing the
corpse, it will be in readiness. Ia!
