Thro all llfes song, Iii its prose rhyme
In swelling strs in or in minor key,
There float the notes of chord sublime;
A chord that pulsed thro' the dear old time
And made lifes music for you and me.
Long years ago. when our hands crashed down
And discord rose on the tortured air,
We thought the music from life had flown,
lad each turned sadly to walk alone
With a dreary pain and an anguished prayer
we had ceased to listen for music's swell,
The air was SILENT our lips were dumb
They had nang bit remaining to sing or tell
They had quiyered last in mad farewell
Where never greeting or JOY could come.
so We never thought that sweet refrain
From the rythm and rhyme Of these days
could grow
But softly stealing il came again,
with its need of Joy anu lis sting OF pain.
And the tender beauty Of long ago.
And in all life's song, in its prose or rhyme,
In swelling strain or in minor key
With solemn beauty like yespers chime.

on their property SO far beyond the
reach of ordinary people-laborers
and mechanics, an element which
goes far toward swelling the popu-
lation of thriving western cities
that they cannot even contemplate
a residence or place of business
within its limits. Just so soon as
a town begins to show signs of ex.
traord;nary future prosperity that
soon will this thermometer ofgreedy
expectancy rise to an unheard of
hight, and consequently an enor
nous price is put upon a piece Of
ground and called a bargain which
heretofore has yielded nothing but
sagebrush. 1t is wrong for one or
two, or three persons to imagine
they can put a townsite in their

MADE AN I'M PRESTON,
The Rat That Went Through the Times
Press.

Los Angeles Times.
AS the swift "Presto" perfecting
press of the Times was laundering
along, a rat, who had not proper
appreciation of the art preservative,
or who lost his presence of mind,
or his reasoning powers-hence his
rat-iocination-or had taken a sud-
den fright, made a jump for the
whirling, Gathering mass of ma.
chinery and in less than second
had ''gone to press" Just how
and when he passed through the
type and impression cylinders is
not known, because the press made
no sign of a kick, but all at once
there was a tremendous smell of
rat in the press-room and a sheet
that came out had on it a map Of
the recent conflict. To say that
the rat was spread out thin don't
express it. He was easily a foot
and half broad by twenty-one
in length and continued to the
eighth page. 1t was in fact the
greatest "spread" that anything
had in the Times for some time
and was a decided 'scoop"-for
the press. FRESHMAN Crawford
was panic-stricken when he saw
the illustrated rat edition came
from the press, and he stopped
operations at once and made a
thorough examination; but not a
cog or spring was out of whack.
The rat had simply jumped against
the great inevitable and nothing
remained of him but an impression.
The tragedy has moral, which is
obvious to the observant.

preserving its own individuality
amid the measureless tract of
waters which it traverses. It is,
as in the case Of it's prototype in the
Atlantic, Of a different temperature
from the rest of the ocean and
wherever it flows produces a
marked modification in the climate.
Karo siro (blessing be on it) is in
fact the talisman whose magic con-
tact makes the western country
rejoice in an equability of temper
allure and keniality of climate that
is the wonder of the world. The
blasting storms and biz yards of
winter, and the blistering heats of
summer are alike rendered impos-
sible by this wonderful karo siro
and the "blessed chinook"
The chinook wind IS as faithful
a servant to the karo siro as was
Ariel to his master. 1t possesses,
in truth, peculiar properties, which
it seems to derive, in some myster-
iQus way, from the current which
is its progenitor and cause of being.
Its ordinary presence is so gentle
that it's motion can hardly be de-
tected. 1t is like a balm stealing
DER the senses and EMBEDDING the
whole being. Though so gentle in
it's progress, the chinook will steal
along through two outer walls of
colder air, and instead of being
consumed, it will, in some subtle
way, eventually conquer the ruder
brethren of Boreas and gently tenn
per the whole atmosphere to it's
will. This quality is curiously
illustrated when, at times, the CHI
nook is an upper current and the
striking spectacle is afforded of
witnessing the snow on the noun
tain tops succumbing to the breath
Of the karo siro, while the foamy
folds of lower levels lie undisturbed
in their frozen splendor.
This is one phase of the chinook.
At times, however, it becomes ro-
bust and aggressive. When it
meets the east wind-its natural
enemy-then it rouses itself to the
conflict. 1t seems as if all the
powers of the air were arrayed in
battle. The combatants chase each
other through gorgcs, over noun
tain tops and sway the branches of
the giants of the forests, but the
chinook always conquers, and after
victory becomes again the tender
hearts ease.
In midsummer, when the "glori-
GUS silent sun" sheds his beams
too freely upon it's subjects below,
and a fatal season of deadly heat
is threatened, along comes the
blessed chinook" again. This
time it possesses an invigorating,
life-giving quality that rouses all
who breathe it, like some rare
elixir. 1t is cool and fresh, and
laden with the spicy breath of the
tropics.
