o you are fair and young. my love.
But | am growing old.
Aud ID good sooth You do me wrong
To ask n story or n song,
For AL my songs are sung. my love,
And ali my tales .sre told.
MY voice has gone this many n year.
NV wit has grown - small
I'm even forced 20 speak the truth.
But somewhere lives a lucky youth.
Who'll tell you--lies. I think. my dear.
But youll believe them all.
He'll have a noble scorn OF pelf
He'll sing. and sigh. and sue,
He'll say his love win last for aye
And heaven knows what he will not say
I've done this sort Of thing myself.
II is not hard 20 do.
He'll talk Of dying II you doubt
The ardor of his flame:
You'll save his precious life, my dear,
And In quarter OF a year
But there. you'd better find Il out
It's always much the same.
All. then. forgive my foolish tongue,
Or better. frown and scold.
'Tis certain that / can not know;
These things are changed since long ago;
said that all my songs were sung,
And all my tales were told.

Great Flums. I'm .hs West.

The great lumber fumes of California
are little known in this part of the coun-
try, where railroads run into every place
that has anything to transport. In Cali
tornia streams of water are carried for
miles in wooden fumes for irrigation
and mining purposes, and similar fumes
are used for floating lumber from the
forests in the mountains TO the mills in
the plains The Engineering Nescs gives
an interesting account of the great fiume
of the Kings River Lumber Company i'm
Fresno county, Cal, which starts nearly
at the snow line in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains, and extends SO miles to the
lower plains.
The fiume is of V-shaped section, 3 feet
inches wide across the top and 81
inches deep 1t is built of II inch boards
and is supported upon trestle work, some
OF the canyons being crossed at a height
of l30 feet. The construction of the
fiume consumed about 100000 feet of
lumber, much of which had to be carried
on mems shoulders over the mountain.
In one stretch of about / 900 yards near
its head, the flume falls nearly $50 feet.
Logs are the chief freight of this novel
transportation line, bat passengers are
often carried. The boat for the carriage
Of passengers or freight is a V-shaped
box about 16 feet long. The front end is
left off, as the velocity of the water is
such that it will not run back into the
boat to any extent. A plank is placed
along the bottom, and on this the pas
sengers rest their feet, setting ON cross
seats. When all is ready the spikes that
held the boat while loading are pulled out
and away it goes on its SO mile journey,
{, trip full of exciting experiences.

The lobster is greatly in dread of thur.
der, and when the peals are very loud
numbers of them drop their claws and
swim away for deeper water. Any great
fright may also induce them to drop thei,
claws. But new claws begin at once to
grow, and in short time are as large as
the old ones, and covered with hard shells.
The lobster often drops its shell, when il
hides until the new shell is hard enough
to protect it.-Boston Budget.

A LA DIR. CRONIN.
ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS oISAP-
PEARANCE AT CHICAGO.
This Time IL IL "a woman Who Does
Missionary work Among the sIums
OF the Wicked City.

Miss Ava, wealthy English woman
who came TO Chicago recently 10 raise the
standard of living in the sums, is reported
to the police OF that city as missing. She
has been stopping ut the residence OF the
Rev. Dr. Bolton. Wednesday evening Miss
Ava and Mrs. Bolton drove to the Catholic
church on West Twelfth street. Miss Ava
entered the priests study and Mrs. Bolton
waited for her in the carriage. Miss Ava
told her companion she only intended hav-
ing few minutes talk with the priest.
Mrs. Bolton waited over an hour, and fin
ally became alarmed when Miss Ava did
not return. She remembered that the
missionary had spoken of receiving letters
in which her life was threatened, and
feared she had come 10 harm. Mrs. Boil
ton then notified the police. Detectives
who we're sent out learned from the priest
at the church that Miss Ava had called
and after 10 minutes conversation about
religious matters had gone into the church
to pray. A thorough search was made of
the church and promises, but 10 clue TO
her whereabouts or her. leaving the church
could be found. Miss Ava came 10 Chica-
90 the first OF last month to carry on the
work which she had acquired fame for do
ing in London. Miss Ava is said to be
very WEALTHY anu udS uekOlcu ntf JlIile ana
money TO INDUCING her hobby for "slum-
ming Her friends say that her crusade
against wrong has made her many enemies
who have threatened her life and sworn to
serve her as DR.. Cronin was treated.
The Cincinnati police authorities found
Miss Ava in that city later in the week
in carriage driving from one hotel 10
another trying 10 get accommodations.
Half her clothing, her hat and shoes were
missing. She seemed in slight degree
confused in her talk and said she did not
know how she camo to be in Cincinnati.
Her story is that after entering Father
Kelley's study in Chicago four men sud
denly seized her and threw IL cloth over
her head, after which she remembers
nothing until she found herself on the
streets in Cincinnati. She answers, in
some particulars at least, a description of
the famous spook priestess Of New York,
Diss De Bar, and many believe the two
are identical, which Miss Ava strenuously
denies. She is il the house of detention
in Cincinnati at present and her next move
is looked forward TO with interest.
