Circuit Court at Denver. Judge Hallett
held that the large extra allowances

GROWING OLD.

The fairest lilies droop at eventide.
The sweetest roses fall from on the stem:
The rarest things OF earth can not abide.
And we are passing, too, away like them; !;
We're growing old.
We had our dreams-those rosy dreams Of
They faded, and twas well. This after
prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes; !, and yet, for
sooth,
We drop tear now in this later time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fancies Of the past
A saddened smile, almost akin to pain:
Those high desires those purposes SO vast
All, our poor hearts! they can not come
again;
We're growing old.
Old? Well, the heavens are old; this earth
is, too:
Old winei best. maturest fruit most sweet:
Much have we lost, more gained, although
it's true
We tread Ife's way with most uncertain
feet.
We're growing old.
We move along. ana scatter, as we pace,
Soft grasses, tender hopes on every hand /;
AT last with gray-streaked hair and hollow
We step across the boundary Of the land
Where none are old.

eRAvING THE INDIANS.

How . Georgia Pioneer Rescued Kaii
Maiden From Her Indian Captors.
One of the first men to locate in
Franklin County was William Settlers.
3 brawny blacksmith, who lived in the
neighborhood of Blacks Creek. and for
. time on the place where DR.. J. w.
Sewell now resides He, together with
others. was captured by the Indians
once. but being blacksmith he did moi
share the fate of most prisoners. They
kept him in captivity for long time,
and it was his business to shoe theii
ponies and repair their guns, toma
hawks, etc. He finally made his es
cape when most of the braves Of the
tribe were out on the warpath. Some
time after his escape young lady in
the neighborhood was captured by the
Indians. Settlers, being enamored Of
the young lady. started in immediate
pursuit with his rife and his dog IS his
only companions, and lowered around
the camp at night, but found no oppor-
tunity OF rescuing the fair prisoner un-
til the seventh night. The Indians, be-
lieving themselves free from pursuit.
left their captive in care of two warriors
and went to meet other members of the
tribe. Settlers approached as near the
camp as he could with safety, got the
two Indians in line with his heavy rife,
and sent an ounce ball through their
bodies. killing them instantly. He un-
tied the fainting girl. put her upon his
horse, selected . fleet pony from among
the herd belonging to the Indians. and
reached home with his fair charge in
safety.
1t Is said that the course Of true Low.
never did run smooth. and the adage
proved true in Settlers case. The girl
whom he had rendered such signal
service and for whom he had dared &C

THE POOR POLES.
An Afiicted People Who Are Prosecuted
by Prussia and Russia.

An Amicted People Who Arc Prosecuted
by Prussia and Russia.
For some time past the European
press has been occupying itself with tho
Punishment of hundreds of Russian
subiesos from East Prussia and OF Ger
mans from the Polish provinces of Rus
sia. The process is carried on with the
most complete good understanding OF
the rulers Of both countries. but natur-
ally arouses great excitement among
the foreign populations of each. A let
ter from Warsaw, for instance, relates
how the native workingmen of Girar-
dow, near Warsaw, wrathful at the ex-
pulsion of Poles from Germany. deter
mined to avenge themselves by expell-
ing the Germans from Girardow, so
taking the matter into their own hands
and anticipating the action OF the Rus
sian Government. Accordingly the
Polish factory hands assembled on Sat-
urday night to begin their work. there
being great numbers of Germans in
Poland, as in all industrial districts in
Russia. The agreement among the
Polish workingmen having been kept
secret, the police supposed that the
crowds meant . strike, called out the
military, and only succeed in effecting
dispersion when it grew dark and they
had arrested a number of the leaders.
The object of the demonstration became
known only when these leaders were
examined. It is 3 curious wrong of
fate that the Polish workingmen
are busy in helping the Govern
ment, which they lOathe, to accomplish
its object, while they punish men of
their own class who have no more to do
than themselves with the expulsion of
Poles from Prussia q But their action is
easily explained when one reflects how
unintelligent the working class Is in
Russia and how far. from appreciating
that everything which arouses the
national hatred of workingmen is
strongly in the interest of their rulers.
What the Russian and German
rulers are aiming at, however, is not so
clear, inasmuch as they publish from
time to time. half officially, reasons
which contradict each other fatty. At
first the Prussian expulsions were ex-
planned as being complimentary to Bis
marck's social reform, on the theory
that the home labor market must be
protected for the home laborer. Later
it was urged that the Germanizing oi
the Polish provinces of Germany was
DELAYED by the influx OF Polish working.
men: but il this be the real reason it is
police logic of the worst sort. for nc
conceivable agitation is capable OF
arousng such wrath and hatred as the
expulsion of multitudes of men,
women and children. Looked ut from
the outside the whole seems to be purely
in the interests of the Russian despot
ism. for Russia is bent upon maintain
| ing its barbarous condition and is only
consistent in driving out foreigners o.
progressive tendencies as ruthlessly a.
it banishes its own subjects; but il
means, on the other hand, to get its
own emigrated subjects into its owr
grasp again. The narrow-minded cum
ming which characterizes the Russian
policy finds fitting expression on the
Prussian- Russian frontier.-Zurich Cor
