Sunshine upon the land, And fields of golden grain, Where busy reapers in a faithful band Toll on thro' sun and rain Across the summer air, Where rows of stately wheat in beauty grow Resplendent there. Sweet are the pastures green Where cattle graze around, And flowers within the thickets bloom un- seen,
 And babbling brooks resound, Or In the topmost branches, one by one, Among the forest trees The merry birds sing out in joyous tone, Tuned to the breeze. Sunlight upon the sea, And snowy waves of foam That scud along the level stretch of lea, Torn from their ocean home, Or dancing on the topmost waves that ride The warm blue hazy deep Merges within the ebb and flow of tide, Where pillows sleep. Noontide on sea or shore When summer suns are high. Ahl rest thy weary footsteps evermore Where fragrant grasses lie, Ere silent night has come in solitude, With stars of countless hue, And shadows fall upon the leafy wood Or cloud the blue.

ON FORGED RECEIPTS.
A Musician Arrested for Fraudulently
Obtaining 500.

Henry McManus, mus. cian, who has lived in
and about Seattle for the past seven years, was
arrested yesterday by Officer Leckie, upon q
charge of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The OmpIaning witness is f. Davies.
AcManus made out two bogus receipts, the
first of which read rs follows:
SEATTLE, September 16, 1891.
l hereby acknow ledge the receipt OF $l00, left
with me this day by William McManus, TO be
held in keeping until called for
GARDNER KELLOGG.
Another similar receipt for $780, signed by
Stewart & Holmes, was presented by McManus
to f. Davies, and the latter paid him 800 on ii,
and was given an order on Stewart i Holmes
for the amount. As soon as Mr.. Davies dis
covered that the receipt was forgery he caused
the arrest of McManus upon charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses. The receipt
signed Gardner Kellogg was found in Nc
MINUS pockets. The prisoner readily admitted
his guilt, and when arrested he cried like
child and said:
81 wouldn't have done it had / not been
drunk"
Although only Al years Of age, McManus looks
fully 20 years older His hair is very gray, his
face b!Oated, and his eyes surrounded with
wrinkles, showing the ravages OF deep dissipa-
ton. For some years past he has been engaged
as piano player in various low resorts. Some
time ago he was left little property in Brook
lyn, New York, and he receives small remit
tance every month from rents. He has given up
all hope of getting clear OF the charge and fully
expects to be sentenced TO the state penitel-

red pennant five feet hoist and twelve feet

and that the storm cente. is approaching.
white pennant five feet hoist and twelve

When red pennant is hoisted above eau

When white pennant is hOisted above the
cautionary or storm signal, winds are expected
from the northwest quadrant when below,
from the southwest quadrant.
Besides these there is an information signal
consisting of a yellow pennant, the same di-
mansions as the red and white one, that indl-
Gates when displayed that the local observer has
received information from the central office OF a
storm covering limited area, dangerous only
for vessels about to sail for certain points. This
signal will serve as a notification to shipmasters
that the necessary information will be given
them upon application to Captain Hatfield.

RIVERS STRETCHES A POINT.
He Gives the Salvation Army the Ben
eft of q Doubt.

Judge Rivers yesterday decided the case OF
the City VS.. William GrondIaff. the Salvationist
arrested for blocking the streets, in favor OF the
defendant. Grondlaf is captain of the North
Seattle barracks of the Salvation Army. Every
night the army, led by its captain, marched
down to Pike street and sings and prays in front
of the Snoqualmie hotel The owner OF the
hotel complained TO Officer Nick Hannah few
evenings since that his guests objected to the
noise raised by the army, and he asked that the
deyOtees be made to move on. The officer Or
dered the Salyationists 10 go away but they
fatty refused, and he then arrested Captain
Grondlaff and took him to police head
quarters. Yesterday he was tried
under the ordinance which provides a
fine of not less than IS nor more than 800 for
persons who assemble in crowds to the annoy
ance of citizens. and who refuse to dispeTse
when requested 10 do so.
Judge Rivers held the nightly religious exer-
eises OF the Salvation Army did not amount to
obstructing the streets within the meaning of
the ordinance; that il the law on the subject
was construed literally it would result in fore
ing the Salvationists from the streets. The
judge believed that the Salvation Army was or
gained for the purpose of beneiting the human
race, and he thought he would only be doing
the proper thing 70 stretch the point little and
give the defendant the benefit of the doubt.

they were both No. g When | found out they
were not mates l wanted the storekeeper TO
take them back, but he said had my eyes open
when bought them and that l must keep
them"
The young fellow was told that nothing could
be done with the dealer, and he went away
swearing he would either have his money back
or take the worth out of the dealers skin.
few days ago another country lad COM
planned OF similar treatment to the prosecuting
attorney. He said that he purchased lot OF
undercothing and boots and shoes from a Com
mereial street secondhand dealer, and paying
for the same, ordered that the purchase be sent
to his home al Renton. When he examined the
goods upon their arrival, he discovered that a
cheaper grade OF articles had been substituted.
As in the former case. the complainant was in
formed that there was no law in the criminal
code providing for the punishment OF dishonesty
