on, dd hbitoae. 1t was utterly impossi-
BILE to get even a clew to the trouble from
Mrs. Goose. She was, l think, excited;
anyway 1t looked so. After trying for
ten minutes to discover what the matter
was, Mr.. x obtained lantern and
came back to the tent with it, and Mrs.
Goose Immediately screamed:
Don't let him in! Don't let him in
I amt dressed - Mrs. x took the
lantern and entered the tent, and after a
little searching found in the center of
Mrs. Goose's bed a huge tarantula!
The repulsiye thing was killed and we
went back to our beds, after Mrs. Goose
had told, at great length, how she
felt sumthin' a-crawlin' and crawlin'
and crawlin' up her back, and
how she thought it was a bear,
and she had heard that bears wouldn't
hurt dead people, and she had laid still
like dead people do; but it kept crawlin'
and crawiin' and crawlin' and at last she
couldn't stand it any longer, and she just
jumped up and yelled"
The next morning Mrs Goose wanted
to go home. but our Jehu had received
orders to return on Saturday, and Satur-
day was two days in the future, and she
remained with US. But not to sleep.
She remained out of her tent as long as
possible at night, and when she did go to
bed it was only to endure agonies of ap-

tent would light up, and the shadow of
her hlgh-pointed nightcap would go bob

rantulas. But she never found any
more. During the day she sat on a
stump under a tree, with her feet drawn
up, and bewailed her sad fate and uttered
groans.
Mr.. X and myself enjoyed the trip
hugely. Mrs. k and the children
We're not much better situated than Mrs
Goose, because that lady kept them con-
stantly running here and there to see if
this thing or that thing, which she had
seen through her spectacles, was not a
tarantula approaching with a sinister
motive.
AS for Mr.. k, his wife and me, I
know we were not sorry for Mrs. Goose
at all. She had thrust herself into our
company, and had made us all heartily
miserable, and if an army of tarantulas,
scorpions, snakes and centipedes had
carried her off and made a dinner of her,
we should not have been much disap-
pointed.

Remember, when the Dawn sets open wide
Her bright enchanted palace to the sun:
Remember, when the Night, the pensive-

Comes dreaming under wells, all silver-spun;
When thy bosom beats high with pleasure
supreme.
When the twilight allures thee to brood and
to dream;
Hark! the forest profound
Has q voice in its sound
"Remcmberi'
Remember me, when fate has drawn our WAYS
Afar, for evermore afar apart;
When sorrow, exile, and the flight of days
Have withered like q flower this breaking
heart
o, forget not our parting, my love and its
tears!
Love laughs at the malice of space and of
years!
While my bosom shall beat
With It's pulses repeat
"Remember!''
remember me, when, nevermore distrest
This heart of mine shall slumber in the
tomb
Remember, when above its house of rest
Softly solitary flower shall bloom.
Ihou wilt see me no more, but my spirit
shall be-
Like a sister beloved, forever with thee.
When the midnight is high
Thou shalt hear voice sigh

Albert A. Hoff, aged 4 years and s
months, died at II 80 o'clock ON Wednesday
night from internal injuries, having been
run over by truck, near the home of his
parents, at 362 Minna street. Early yester-
DAY morning the death was reported to the
coroner and investigated.
IL seems that late on Wednesday after
noon Albert was playing on the sidewalk
WIN MS brother, Frank, aged years, and
Michael Haley, aged 4, on Minna street,
near flIth. A heavy truck passed by and
the boys ran out and climbed on between
the mind stakes. While they were laughing
III glee over the sport of stealing ride little
hloert Tell off between the wheels. Before
MS companions realized his dangerous posi-
tlon the hind wheel had passed over his body.
he other lads ran to his assistance, and
lhe driver passed on without turning his
head. Perhaps lie had not noticed by the
poys at all. Albert was found almost un-
conscious, and lying on the spot where he
had FALLEN. lie was raised upon his feet,
ana with the assistance of his brother man
aged 10 stagger up against the fence, where
he lell down exhausted. DR.. Anderson was
summoned, and upon examination found
that he had received fatal internal injuries.
ne unfortunate lad had also received
conclusion of the brain, and all efforts to
restore him to consciousness were without
avail. he sank slowly, until half an hour
Delore midnight, when he quietly breathed
MS last All the circumstances indicate that
death was accidental The driver of the
truck has not been fonnd, and it is supposed
that he is still ignorant of the terrible acct
dent.
Those who saw him pass say that he drove
on TO the end OF the street. Had he been
trying to escape notice he would have
whipped up his horses and turned off into
some side street. a description of the truck
was furnished. and officers were sent out in
searcn of the driver II is possible that
when he reads Of the boys death he will at
once surrender himself to the police.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Robbers Frightened Away Before
Opening the Safes.


Opening the Safes.
CHICAGO, Nov. II. - General Manager
Earring of the st. Paul Railway received a
dispatch this morning saying the robbers
did not get any booty from the express car
held up near the Western Union Junction
this morning. the dispatch said the rob
bers, after gaining admission to the ex-
press car, commanded the messenger to
open the frs. He refused, and the safes
were pitched out OF the car onto the
ground. Meantime the rear brakeman,
understanding the situation, rushed back
to the junction and got an engine.
The engine and posse at once went to the
scene, and the robbers fed. The robbers
had tried to force open the doors Of the
safes, but were unsuccessful. The train
went on to Milwaukee and the fast mail
train which left Chicago later picked up
the safes and carried them to Milwaukee.
The police of Milwaukee and the secret
service Of the ST. Paul system. together
with the Sheriff of Racine County, are in
pursuit Of the robbers. Their fight was so
hasty they did not take precautiOn to cover
their tracks, so the officials believe they Will
get them before noon to-day. e

work of an American syndicate.
Wilbur added: 1.-The scheme OF snug
Cling opium into this city has been carried
on for some time, but it was difficult to OBJ
tain evidence to convict the persons en-
gagged in the traffic Some of those in the
scheme were persons of prominence in
social and business circles. The smuggling
business has been assuming big proportions,
and have had my agents at work securing
evidence. The specific complaint upon
which Chase was arrested yesterday was
for smuggling 100 half-pOund cans Of opium.
These were offered for sale at S12 each.
The duty on the same would be just s12.
Chase is considered of high respectability
in Providence, his home. There were a
number of others implicated in the scheme"

Target Practice and the Regular Winter
Hons.


Hops.
Light Battery F, Fifth Artillery, has for
the last few days been practicing with the
32-iEch field guns and the results have been
most satisfactory. The guns show that
with proper handling they will be quite eff
fective, as the practice evnced that the
guns are very accurate in their fire. Line
shots were remarkably fine and with
proper degree of elevation, which will be
taught the artillerymen, their use of the
guns will be most effective
There is rather an unusual quiet at the
Preside at the present time. On Wednes-
day one of the convictS on the reservation
made bis escape and excited the place for
few moments. The searching party re-
turned after fruitless chase, and the post
soon resumed its normal temperature.
The regular si-weekly hops will be in
augura;ed in a few days. and the season is
looked forward to with the greatest antici-
patton, as the military hops are the most
celebrated in San Francisco.
Troop X Of the Fourth Cavalry is ex-
pected in II few days, and the mem ers of
this troop are well known in social circles
