Fred Grafton In Trouble.

The Des Moines papers of the goth,
report the killing of Mabel Swartz by
Fred Grafton, In that city Monday
night. The pair were gathered with
four others in disreputable house of
that city for an evening of dissipation.
During the evening Grafton pulled a
"A caliber revolver from his pocket and
flourished IL to show his dexterity with
the weapon. The company asked him
to put 1t away, except the Swartz
woman, who said "Point it at me Ted
dy, | am not afraid" He did so and it
was discharged, the ball entering her
body under the twelfth rib on left side,
causing almost instant death.
Fred Grafton is remembered as the
youngest son of Major Grafton, who
conducted the wonder Store" here in
1866. The elder son, Frank, attended
to business, later graduated In med
icine, and is now practicing in Sioux
City. Fred Grafton was wild and dis
sipated, professional gambler, and the
making of an accomplished tough. 1t
is no surprise to hear of the predica-
ment in which he now is, From here
tie family removed TO Atlantic, where
Fred married Lizzie Dufford against
the wishes Of her parents. Their mar
ried life has been sorry one for her as
he has continued his dissipation and
irregular residence. The young man
is now under $1,000 bounds for dis
graceful affair in Omaha,
The woman in the case and the VIC
tim of the last tragedy, is eighteen
years old and an adopted daughter of
ex-Mayor Swartz Of Sioux City. She
was brought with other New York
waits to Sioux City nine years ago. The
Swartz parents gave her every ad-
vantage, but she did not profit thereby.
She is described as a petite blonde, re-
markably pretty. Grafton and the wo-
man had been in Des Moines two weeks
living as man and wife, and it is said
that she supported him. The Swartz
people will give the erring woman bur
ial in Sioux City. Young Grafton is in
jail, and insists that the tragedy was
purely an accident. There is some talk
that there was method in it, as he de-
sired to dispose of her. His career of
lawlessness and audacity imperil his
claim to innocence in the tragedy.

high expectations of the entertainment
were fully met in every particular,
Charlie Bradley, Woods Soar and Myr-

in the Courtship of Miles Standish ac-
quilted themselves with highest honors,
Other characters Of the poets creation
were equally well represented and al
together afforded an evening of enjoy
able and instructive entertainment.
All were we'll costumed and interpreted
the characters in an ideal manner,
Miss Stearn's is superior instructor,
and the announcement of an entertain
ment under her supervision is guaranty
of its success. On this occasion she
was very fortunate in the selection of
characters. The enterprise was a sue
cess financially as well, and Melted a
snug sum to the school society's ex-
chequer.

AN ATTIC POET.

He lived In what we call the golden time,
When Athens, violet crowned, was In her
prime;
When her slim warships split the sky hued
seas,
And wallowing in their wakes huge arRosies
brought In the grain and stuffs of all the East
10 where the marbled city made her feast.
The echoes of bronze Marathon vet rang.
And TO their tune great hearted lives still sang.
Around him men were born and lived and
throve
Whose words and gestures Sophokles enwoye
For the live flesh wherein his hand arrayed
The gods and heroes whom his soul had made.
he brushed against yelled women on the
streets
Whose secret speech of smothered grief yet
greets
The worlds great souls whenever any lend
a hearkening ear TO him who was the friend
or those same smileless widows overseas,
Great hearted, mirthless, cowed Euripides
he ate and drank and slept through the same
days
That saw his city's one still cleaning blaze;
And he wrote ditties Of his own dry heart,
OF its small pettiness and bloodless smart.
With Aristopheles he laughed at all
The great, but In his laughter thought them
small.
The days were gone, he said, when heroes reft
Undying fame from fate; not much was left
For latter generations TO achieve.
What bygone peoples had seen 1T to leave
Undone might still be done; but was It worth
The effort? Was there true reward on earth?
All the great poets long were dead and gone;
II was broad day now, and the fresh, cool dawn
OF human feeling had been left behind
Long since; paler laurel leaf entwined
Still on some favored brows, but thin and sere.
Poetry had all been written, and its year
Turned after harvest to Its wintry chime.
And thus he wrote and talked. In after time
We do not speak Of him TO praise or blame.
He Is forgotten, even TO his name.
Edward Lucas White in Atlantic.

GERS in the regiment and was one Of
Lakes special favorites. He was a
young Irishman, and like almost all
Irishmen a splendid soldier in the field
and hard one to handle in the garrison.
Lake had pulled him out Of the fire
many and many a time. He had been
sergeant Of the guard the previous day
and had just had time to "march off, "
as they say when the old guard Is re-
heved by the new guard, get over TO his
barracks, change his clothes and fix
himself up bit. He waited at the door
of the kitchen for Miss Hyacinth to ap-
pear. She knew at once that something
was wrong when notified Of her unusual
visitor. That it was something about
Lake she did not doubt She tried TO
be calm however. It does not do to let
the men know too much about the pri-
vate affairs Of the families of the Off
GERS. They usually know it all, how
ever, so 1t might save good deal OF
trouble to notify them at once.
