street and equally unwilling to trust
her to the crowd of people of whom she
seemed so much afraid. He was on the
point of setting out with the little stray
child for the nearest police station,
when, suddenly dropping his hand, she
darted away, calling mamma !"
In the lady that caught the child in
her arms, Mr.. Prime recognized his
daughter Mary, whom he had never
seen since her marriage.
"Dat gentl'n found me, mamma"
said Lucy, pointing to Mr.. Prime.
When Mary Weston encountered

and agitated, wore the old, fond ex-
preston.

asked.

"Come, kiss your grandpa" said the
old gentlemen, taking Lucy in his
arms and when he put her down again

he added.

you would" she answered "and | am
sure Clarence will be very glad to see
you"
That evening Mr.. Prime sat an hon
ored guest at Clarence Weston's fire
side.
The abode was humble, but neat,
and the best apartment in it was placed
at the service of the unexpected guest.
When Mary and her husband had
learned all, they insisted on Mr..
Primes making his home with them
and when little Lucy put her arms
about his neck and said, "Gra'pa
mustn't go away" that settled it.
One day Mary noticed that her
father, who had been reading the
morning paper, went out hastily, look
ing strangely excited. He came home
late, and was unusually silent and
thoughtful the whole evening. For
several weeks he went out daily, and
when at home had little to say. Mary
thought he was brooding over his bust
ness troubles and piled ever daughterly
art to divert his attention from them.
81 think you should have a larger
house, Mary" said Mr., Prime, one
day.
'I'm afraid Clarence couldn't afford
it" Mary answered.
at will do no harm to look at one"
returned her father.

piled.
Mr.. Prime did wish it, and Mary
put on her bonnet. A walk of some
distance brought them in front of a
stately mansion.
Let us go in" said Mr.. Prime.
"Why, that is our old home !" ex-
claimed Mary.
"And it is ours again" replied her
father. "My excellent son-in-law
thought proper to offer it for sale, and

agent"

ALWAYS A RIVER TO CROSS.

There's always river to cross;
Always an effort to make,
If there's anything good to win,
Any rich prize 10 take.
Yonder's the fruit we crave,
Yonders the charming scene;
But deep and wide with troubled tide,
Is the river that lies between.
For the treasure of precious worth
We must patiently dig and dive
For the places we long to fill
We must push and struggle and strive;
And always and everywhere
Wen find in our onward course
Thorns for the feet and trials to meet,
And difficult river to cross.
The rougher the way that we take,
The stouter the heart and nerve,
The stones in our path we break,
Nor e'er from our impulse swerve.
For the glory we hope to win
Our labors we count no loss;
IT'S folly to pause and murmur because
OF the river we have TO cross.
So, ready to o and dare,
Should we in our places stand,
Fulfilling the Masters will,
Fulfilling the souls demand;
For though as mountain high
The pillows may rear and toss,
They'll not overwhelm if the Lords at the hell
When the difficult river we cross.

A MIDNIGHT FIRE.


Loss $3.50
The fire department was called out at
1880 O'Clock this morning to fight lively
blaze in dwelling on the northeast corner
OF Seventh and Cherry streets, owned by
Joseph Nj. Wymer, that in the short space
of twenty minutes consumed ST. 500 worth
of property.
The building. which is one and one-half
stories high and 30x50 feet IN size, was &C.
cupied by J. c. Wise and family. Mr.
Wise was absent at the theater last evening
and Mrs. Wise was sitting up waiting for
him. She was in her bedroom, which is
on the lower floor, and was sitting
near a table, on which stood
lamp. Suddenly the oil in the lamp
took fire. Mrs. Wise, with great presence
of mind, seized the lamn and rushed
toward the back door, intending to throw
it out into the yard. When she reached
the kitchen a stream OF burning
oil ran down across her hand and
she was forced to drop the lamp to
the floor. The fall broke it and in second
the burning oil, which was scattered to
every corner of tine room, had set every
thing infammable in it on fire. Mrs. Wise
awose three dodgers who were in the house
and then began carrying out her furniture.
With the assistance of others she rescued
more than half of it. An alarm was not
turned in until the flames had driven the
rescuers from the house. The alarm was
from box II and brought the Ahrens
No. 2 engine from the headquarters at
Seventh and Columbia to the fire in two
minutes. Two streams were laid from the
corner of Seventh and Columbia, and when
the first one ,sas gotten on the entire
rear portion of the building was in
flames. A hard fight of ten minutes in
which the second stream was brought into
play followed and the fire in the rear OF the
building was out A second later it broke
out in front but stream from the chemi-
cal, which had just arrived after hard
run up the hill quickly subdued the flames
there and the fire was all out.
The rear portion of the building was al
most entirely destroyed. but the front por-
ton of it escaped with little damage. The
partitions on the inside were about all
burned out, and in fact the building was
Quilted.
The building was valued at 81 500 and was
damaged to the extent of 5000. 1t was
fully insured. Mr.. Wise lost about $500
worth of furniture and carried an insurance
of 81 900 on all that he had in the house.

however. would not depend upon coast
traffic for revenue entirely. II would
build branch lines to the interior from
every available point from Ukiah to As
toria, from Crescent City to Grants
pass, tapping the Rogue river
vslley. and from Coos bay to
Roseburg. tapping the southern part
of the Willamette valley, and from IA
quina bay to Albany and Salem. The con-
struction of the line would open up one OF
the richest sections ON the Coast, and give
San Francisco q competing road. The
cost would be enormous. but the Oregon
Navigation & Railway Company has
money and I see no reason why the
scheme cannot be carried out.

PUGET SOUND MAYNARD.
The Behring Sea Difficulty Awakens In
teresf OF Congress.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 1.-THE possi-
hility of trouble in Behring sea has stirred
up those interested in the location of a
navy-yard on Puget sound for protection
for the vast extent of coast along the North
Pacific. There is q movement now on foot
looking to the introduction of resolution
requesting the secretary to furnish esti-
mates and further data upon the establish
ment of a navy-yari on the site selected by
Captain Mahan and Lieutenant Comman-
der Stockton. but the people living along
Puget sound have not agreed upon the site
and are opposed TO the one located. Ore
gon people think it should be on the Column
bia river. The prospective Behring sea
difficulties may stir up congress, and then
they will be made to take some action.
