L. N. Graytrax and Almerion Adams
returned from their trip, this week. They
were about fifty miles 10 the northwest OF
Shelton, in the foothills of the Olympic
range. The country is TerY rough, and
being unable to find an Indian trail they
were searching for they decided to return
home. 1t rained every day they were out.
They brought piece of slate that the
action of the water had shaped into
long Interrogation point, and several spec
imens of good ore, enough to convince
them that tue precious metals existed IN
cool quantity, if it could be found.

The following prose poem is taken
from a Florida paper. 1t is interesting to
see what they think of chronic kickers
down there.
''Saint Peter, it is said, sits out by the
Heavenly gates, his hands on the strings
Of his Tyre, and he sings, as he sits, low
who expire. He hears in-the distance the
chorus Of song, that swelis at the foot of
the throne, and he smiles as the music is
waited along, and MARBLES this lay Of his
own: There's room in this region for
millions of souls, who by sorrow and woe
are bereft tits for those who have suffered
the melody rolls, but the kickers must
turn to the left There is room here for
the people who when they were young,
persisted in sowing wild oats, yet who
doomed up the city with sinew and
tongue, but the kickers must go with the
goats. There is room for people who
pointed with pride. to the beauty and
growth OF their town, who kept singing
its praises and charms till they died. But
the kickers will please amble down.
There is room for The burshers who cheer
fully paid their taxes for sewers and
lights, but the kickers must dwell where
the drainage is bad and burnt sulphur H.
lumines the nights. There is room for
the voters, on whose local support their
party could always rely, but the kickers
must go to the satanic court a place
where they Can't "Oolt" when they die
There is room for all those Who, at last
and at first, supported their tradesmen at
home, but the kckers who branded home
goods as the worst, from this mansion for
ever must roam. They'd say that the
music was all out of tune, and angelic
robes, hand-mc-down. and they'd send fol
a jeweler off TO the moon, TO sample tho
gold in their crowns. So, while there i
room for millions Of souls, who by sorrow
and woe are bereft, we want no COM
plants of the music that rolls and the
kickers will turn to the left"

 The Waterbury Blues went to Stam- ford last evening and defeated the local polo team by score of to 3.

Tonight the Blues will cross sticks with the Wallingfords in the ink
 The Meriden Journal throws out dark hints to the effect that the New Haven management are guilty of perpetrating some underhanded work. The Journal says that at the next polo meeting some interesting developments concerning the methods of the New Haven management may come to light, and also that charges of crookedness are to be made against another player.
 Affairs may take on new aspect be- fore spring as regards the local base ball situation, but if they do not this city might as well be left out of the calcula- tions of those who are hopefully plan ming leagues and circuits on paper, and this for the simple reason that those who have heretofore been most active in backing and supporting club here are so disheartened with their experience that they have no inclination to try again, at least for the present.

Required of a Doctor.

Dr. W. F. Kier says: Of all the profess sions, I think the medical must be the most exacting. No one has any idea of the amount of work a physician of any practice must perform, and the strain he must be under. In the first place, he never knows whether he is going to get a nights sleep or not, unless he simply makes a rule that he will not take 1t unless it is very urgent. Then, when he gets up in the morning, he finds half dozen or two dozen calls, from all direc- tions, which, in a large city like St. Louis, means great deal of travelling. Starting out on these, he returns for office hours, works without spare min ute there, and then is out again. Then comes dinner. more office hours, another round of calls, and night office hours again, the day being filled up from early until late without allowing moments pleasure, or even relaxation. Such a physician should never invite company, to entertain them, unless 1t is of friends who will not feel bad If they have to dine alone.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
