The Reciuse of the Wabash.

There died here recently one Of the
best known men in Wabash, DIR. 5. G.
Thompson. His history is peculiarly
pathetic. In early manhood he was ell.
gagged to an estimabIe lady, who died
suddenly. The doctor never married,
and has always lived alone in his little
house on the bank of the river in Sc
cluded nook H. retired from practice
several years ago aud devoted his time to
reading and fishing in season. He was
thirty second degree Mason and was
also II member OF the Fort Wayne com
mandery, Knights Tempiars
Opposite the city and back of the bluffs
that follow the irregular course of the
Wabash river, in a quiet glen, was a
little fish pond, the pride of the doctors
heart. He made pond by damming
up the waters of Il spring ted brook
known a. Treaty creek. flowing through
his garden patch. The pond was stock
ed with black bass aud perch, fed at in
tervals by this solitary recluse, until they
became veritable pets, darling from their
weedy retreats to the shore, with their
green noses rufiing the water, whenever
the doctor appeared on the bank. The
predatory boys of the city were in the
habit of coming up in the rear of this
pond and while hidden in the willows
aud alders bordering the spot steal'hily
dropping baited hook into the water,
shaking out" string of fish with far
greater ease and in half the time it would
take TO do the same along the rifles and
in The overfshed holes of the Waoash.-
The doctor was aware of the robberies
aud laid many traps to catch the tres
passers He was known to be severe
man, and those who had been apprehend-
ed always had to pay handsomely for
their fun.

THE POETRY OF SPRING.


Soon the jaunty bullfros FROM his ftful winter
dream,
Will thoughtfully unroll himself and climb
the turbid stream;
The snake will get a wiggle on, the toad will
give hop.
The turtle for the river trade will open up
his shop"
The potato bug convention on the hillside
will convene.
And make the granger weary climbing up
with paris green;
The woodchuck from his hole will peep, when
twilight hours are dim.
And in the early morning bring the fox trap
back with him.
Perhaps head OF cabbage for his little totsy
GOO -,
He will pail II zap and cabbage in, aud pull
the hole in, TOO
The patter Of the rain drops and the scamper
OF the rats.
Will awake tender memories in soulful back
yard cats.
Where the moonlight's gentle focus. stealing
through the midnight fog.
Weaves canopied enchantment for some love
sick poodle dog.
You will hear the owls reioinder 10 his love
mates repartee,
As he wisely winks both eyes at you from out
some neighboring tree
The jocund hens and roosters, in the plum
trees by the door,
Will harnonize their medley with the pigs
scnorous snore
The crows will hold caucus hear the newly
planted corn.
And add another wrinkle 10 the farmers face
forlorn:
The spiders in the attic, will once more their
shuttleS ply
To weave labyrinth for the uneducated fly I;
The rose bugs will climb higher to escape
pendind doom.
And give points on jgs and wa'tzes mid the
cherry tree perfume,
The house flies soon will grease their toes from
off the butter plate,
To allay tho irritation Of their toe nails on
your plate;
The MOSQUITO bird and other birds will form a
poetry ring.
And set some lines to music of the poetry OF
spring. Boston Globe

The following is told of Senator Ken
ma "When five States had offered $4,000
reward for the arrest and conviction OF
Jesse James the latter came to Washington
and boldly sent in his card to the West
Virginia Senator. Kenna received him
kindly, and James dined at the National
Hotel witt. Kenna, and was with him of
and on for several days until he took train
and left Washington to go to the final fate
that awaited him. Kenna was spoken to
about the matter, the possible peril and in
jury to him for having thus treated James
and having been with him. He said oh,
we'll, | knew him when had not a shirt 10
my back, and he was kind to me then. That
was in the days before James had become
a famous outlaw, and Kenna under any
circumstances could not forget a kindness

Two dirty, ragged, wicked little news
