Three travellers met in Brander pass,
BY the bubbling Brander springs:
They shared their cake and Their venison,
And they talked of many q thing
OF books, OF soIg and foreign lands,
OF strange and wandering lives,
And by and by, in softer tones,
They spoke OF their homes and wives.
az married the Lady o. Logan Brae,"
Said one, with a lofty sir;
There isna in a. the North countree
A house with better share
OF gold and gear. and hill and lock,
OF houses and farms to rent;
There's many a man b envied me,
And I'm mair than weel content"
"Dream of a woman as bright as day."
Tire second traveller said,
Dream of form OF perfect grace,
OF noble face and head;
OF eyes that are as blue as heaven,
OF flowing nut-brown hair;
That is my wife. aud, Il oush not rich,
Oh. she is wondrous fairI"
The third one said: 81 have wife,
She is neither rich nor fair:
She has not gold, nor gear, nor land,
Nor a wealth Of nut brown hair:
But, h! she loves me! and her love
Has stood through every test.
Beauty and gold are good, but, friends,
We know that love is best"
They filed their cups in the spring again,
And they said, right heartily:
Here to the loving, faithful wife,
Wherever her home msy bev'
And soon they took their different ways,
one thought in each mans breast:
Beauty is good, and gold is good,
Rut true love is the best"

Four fine gray horses, three of which BELONGED
to r. and one to George Olcott, were killed. by
lightning in recent electric storm on Stanley
creek. The band twenty-five in number had
evidently been huddled together, when the boil,
descended and the four were laid low. They
were found lying side by side. so that they could
have been covered with a blanket, and as an
evidence of the queer pranks played by the
lightning all four had been isemboweled in
the same place. the entrais being scattered
about near the scene Mr.. Olcott succeeded in
collecting the remainder of his band, except
three, which he has not been able to find. The
dead horses were all large, powerful ANNA g.
and could not be replaced for $500. He hopes to
recover the three missing animals, which he
thinks were driven crazy by the shock and ran
off into the mountains.

The burning 10 death of Mr.. Adams in
the Roy hotel on Wednesday night is not
the first incident of this kind in this state.
Within two years no less than three fatal
fires have occurred in hotels in country
towns. The trouble lies to an extent at
least in the imperfection of hotel buildings.
There should be state law regulating the
construction of hotels and provide ade-
quate means for sudden alarm and for es-
cape in case OF fire.
