That weary tlmo that comes between
The last snow Unl the earliest green;
One burrcn cold the wild tleldSlle,
And all our comfort Is the sky.

she has never learned 10 scan poetry
or any other technicalities OF Master
Shakespeare's art. She says it comes to
her naturally to write rhythmically.
As for rhyming, that is as easy as
whstling. Her literary taste is correct,
but not very advanced. "Curfew Shall
Not Ring Tonight" and "Bingen on the
Rhine" are her iavorite poems. Miss
Alcott is the author who pleases her
most.
Lillian is a pretty little girl, not at all
precocious and quite unaffected. There
Is nothing Of the infant prodigy about
her manners and conversation. She is
Just what little girl OF ten should he,
and never makes grown-up persons
who can't write poetry feel painfully
ashamed OF their inleriorlty.
Her verses have been declared by
men OF good judgment to be better
than those OF Dora and Elaine Goodale,
the child poets who acquired n national
fame few years ago. They are simple,
but not infantile. She may write some
times about what she doesn't under
stand very we'll, but that Is not appar-
ont in the verses.
The first poem printed below is con-
sidered by the author TO be the best she
has written. Probably it is, although
that has not been the general opinion
OF most OF those who have read them.
1t has the very strong merit OF humor,
which is valuable in q poet who is in.
clined to write about "lost years" and
"unspoken meanings" The person
written about with so much feeling in
these lines is her father.
THE HERO.
He sits alone in the darkened room,
Alone III the fading light
Why Is his brow so heavy with gloom
And his cheek so deathly whittier
But though his heart is sick with care,
His courage never blenchcs;
His eyes Qro fixed In aglassy stare.
What Is 1t his firm hand clenchesY
A ittio courage he mHrmuFs; yes,
little and all Is won
A choking gurgle moro or less,
a gasp Uud the deed Is done,
without shudder or oyelId wink,
All It makes the heart recoll.
That hero true did calmly drink
A glass OF castor oil.
Here is the longest poem she has
written:
SHADOWS
Dance. shadows. dance to u.s. bow to us so.
Come az we come TO YOU 60 when we go,
| Grow biz and little, grow short md grow tall
| You shadows that live on the side OF the wall.
Fly, shadows, 1y from US fast rs we run,
| You cannot go from us while there Is sun,
| Sob MP and down again, fall when we fall
You shadows that live on the side OF tho wall.

GALE OF FIRE AT FARGO.

Flames Destroy the Principal Business
Street of the CITY.
During heavy wind fire broke out at Fargo,
N. D.. yesterday, at 2 p. m, and the whole city
was threatened. The principal business street
of the city lies within the district already
burned and the finest business blocks are in
ashes. Many residences also went down before
the flames.
Most Of the buildings were frame and offered
small resistance before the rush Of flames sent
against them by the gale, that was blowing
thirty miles an hour. 1t was feared the fire
would pass the barrier of the river and destroy
the town of Moorhead. Two thousand people
have been made homeless.
Moorhead people threw open their hotel and
houses for the homeless. The loss cannot be
estimated. 1t is believed that 200 buildings,
large and small. have been burned. The fire
started in sales stable and spread with awful
rapidity.
The fire crossed the river to the Moorhead
side at the Fargo roller mill, which was burned.
Among the principal firms already burned are:
Herman, dry goods: Cranes restaurant. nagill,
farm machinery; Northern Pacific elevator
buildings. Western Union Office, Morton, real
estate: Red River Valley National Bank, Daily
Forum, Merchants State Bank, opera
house, Z. S. Tyler, real estate: John Deer's i'm
PIGMENT house, Coles livery. Wilson'S restau-
rant, Grand Hotel, Flemings drug store, Veder
& Lewis grocery, Christiansons drug store,
sheridan Hotel. Appel Bros, Minneapolis Dry
Goods Company, Logan's studio. Ames iron
works. Centennial House and Vanbrunt imple-
ment warehouse.
The loss is at least $4,000. 600. The bridges
between Moorhead and Fargo have beeh
burned and all Geographic communications are
cut of.
Assistance arrived at the scene from Grand
Forks and Duluth and Crookston was asked for
help.
4, Jas. J. Hill telegraphed from ST. Paul order
ing the immediate opening of the Grand Pacific
Hotel for the use of homeless people in Fargo.
Many freineu were injured, some Of them Sc
riously.

MODES FOR MAIDENS.

The Radical Change in the Manner of
Dressing Young Girls.
Perhaps comments on the fashion Of garbing
girls Of twelve or fourteen years Of age are un-
necessary. Brown checked gnghams, fiat
round hats and white muslin dresses with
pink sash for ''very best" are as unpopular
nowadays as is that good old-fashioned proverb
Children should be seen and not heard" That
is the sole reflection am willing to permit my
self before plunging into the intricate details
Of IN outfit for half-grown girls who spend
their summers at tho seashore to recuperate
from the nervous strain of school work.
