Weru and stained in happy days Of yorc.
Fer yet my life boat from the shore
Had drifted, drifted with the tide,
And sunny youth, upon the further side
Was left; they whom loved, and I,
Together sang them, those upgathered songs;
Sang them in voices clear, and high
As mca'lo% mins,res: unto them belongs
An untold worth: nearest her heart.
Nature her richest gems doth hide;
So, in my own, my love hath set apart

Then floating, come to me

Sweet echo songs; and with u yearning cry
Answers, my soul can never die;
My love for them. still in my heart twill dwell,
Until that pmlsing heart hath hidden life farewell

A Slim Alligator Crop.

"The crop of alligators is decidedly slim in
the south, said man who had just returned
from Florida. "In fact, the supply is giving
out, and the alligator seems on the road to.
ward extinction as rapidly as the buffalo.
Tho slaughter for their hides has been waged
SO f1ercely that it is no wonder tho stock has
been depleted. 1t is only matter Of few
years until the last survivor of u mighty
mouthed race will be lodging the bullets Of
the hunter in some lonely lagoon, and
wearily waiting for the end to come" ."-Chi-

United States in particular, has never been
cqunlel, and it is difficult for me to under
stand how it con be improved but the news
paper press as al educator. as director, rs
censor, as a just, impartial critic-how
about that: There can be no two opposing
opinions in that respect. Great capital de-
mands dividends. Dividends can be had only
from prosperous business. A prosperous
business must recognize the law of supply
and demand, and if the public demand dirt
the newspapers will furnish dirt-and don't

Drilling a Gas We'll.

The cost of drilling gas well is usually
from $500 to $4,000. The method pursued
is tho same as for an oil well. The weight of
the drills with the attached liars" is 5000 to
1000 pounds. These rise and fall four to five
feet, and are constantly rotated, SO as to
bring the bit into contact with the entire cir
conference of the drilling. For depth of
500 feet the hole is bored eight inches in
diameter and is cased with SO piping Be-
yond this depth tho hole is continued with a
diameter of six inches until gas shall be
reached or the we'll abandoned. a casing Of
four inch pipe is used for this lower portion.
