MY LEGACY.

q rare and priceless legacy
Jn> fair sweet summer left to nc;

And in my heart the summer lives
With 80 the Joy that summer gives.
Green hili-sides dotted DER with trees,
Tall grasses bent with playful breeze,
Wide meadows starred with daisies white,
And over all, the sunshine bright.
y, winter has no power to chill
"A heart that holds warm summer still
But more than all its birds and flowers,
Far more than cen its golden hours,
The gracious summer left to me,
In Its most priceless legacy,
sweet true love, which can not d.
However cold the winters skyl
Close In my heart hold the gift
Which from my life ali clouds will lift.
together love and recall
me pictures hung on memory's wall.
MY little love, with sweet brown eyes,
Who came to me meath summer Skies
The golden hours were bright to me
Only when they were shared with thee;
Inc howers seemed sweetest and most fair
when thou their beauty deigned to wear.
and now my heart forever lives
MID all the joys that summer gives.

Unfortunate Condition of y Marrying Young

If there is one thing sadder than an
other in this world it is to see young
man with a buffalo-skin overcoat on sit
ting on the winter side OF a grocery with
tears in his eyes and nothing but a
yarn mitten to wipe them away with.
Such a case was discovered by po-
licemen on Grand River Avenue yester-
day, and when asked the cause of the
young mans sorrow the reply was:

mike" Prendergast's Arrest for Rob
berry in Atlanta.

berry in Atlanta.
The NEWS announced yesterday the
arrest in Atlanta of Michael Prendergast,
Of Savannah, for robbery. Prendergast,
with companion whom he had picked up
on the street, entered photographers gal
lerY and said they wanted to be "took."
Both were so full that they could not
stand steady and their eyes had half
closed look, but the photographer did
not care for those disadvantages.
he placed the men before
the camera and made several at.
tempts to give them good position but
the wind was high, and they wabbled
about so that the photographer finally
convinced them that they would look
better sitting down. The men wanted a
photograph and they did not care whether
II was on foot or on chair. Two chairs
were arranged side by side, and Prender-
CAST and Dagnell, his companion, took
their seats. The photographer fixed his
machine and made the picture, but
while he was doing the work Dagnell
fell asleep. But that made no differ
ence to the photographer. When PTender-
CAST saw the picture be was delighted
with it, and when they were finished he
took all but one of them. Then the photog-
said he was broke, and that his pard
would do the pay act. The photographer
started to wake DagDell, but Prendergast
said nay. He then put his hand in Dag
nelPs pocket, and taking out $40 bill,
handed it to the gallery man, saying:
Take your pay, give me the change,
let my friend sleep, and I'll 80 get car
riage and take him home"
The men had entered the place together,
and the photographer believed that they
were Old-time friends instead Of acquaint-
ances of an hours duration. He took his
pay and gave Prendergast the change.
Prendergast put the money into his pocket
and walked out. In an hour Dagnell
awoke and asked for Prendergast. The
gallery man told what had TRANSFERRED
Then Dagnell rubbed his eyes, felt
his pockets, took the remaining photo
graph and walked out. He went straight
to police headquarters and reported the
case and asked for Prendergastis arrest.
He lett the photograph as guide for the
police and walked away. In few hours
Officer Lynch ran across Prendergast
and pulled him in. He was quite fun and
had only 81 10 of the money In his pock-
cts. He had made away with the bal
ance. He was locked up and booked for
larceny after trust.
Prendergast is well-known to the police
here and has frequently figured in the
criminal courts.
