THE OLD FRIENDS.

The old friends. the old friends
We loved when we were young,
With sunshine on tn ir flces
And music on their tongue
The bees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their strain.
But the old friends. once lost TO US
Can never come again. a.-
The old frienas. the old friends,
Their brow is lined with care;
They've furrows in the faded cheek
And silver in the hair;
But to me they are the old friends still,
In youth ana bloom the same,
As when we drove the flying Dali,
Or shouted in the game.
The old men. the old men.
How slow they creep alongi
How naughtily we sroffed at them
III days when we were youugi
Their prosIng and their doing,
Th ir pr te of times gone by,
Their shiver ike an aspen lear
If but breath went by.
But we, we are the old men now
Our blood is faint and chill:
We cannot leap the mighty brook
or climb the breakneck hill
We mauuder down the shC'Sest cuts,
We rest on stick UT stile,
And tho young men half ashamed to laugh
Yet pass US with Smil>.
But the young men, the young men,
Their strength is fair to see;
The straight back, the ssringy stride,
The eye as falcon free.
The shout above the frolic wind,
AS up the hill they go:
But. though syhign above US now,
They soon shall be as low.
oweary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end;
And sadly, sadly fall tn tears
For loss of love and friend.
But Well not doubt there's good about
In all of human kind:
So here's health before we go
To those we leave behind.

PENALTY OF DOING RIGHT.

Managing Editor Hall, of the St.
Paul Daily Globe, IS always on the
lookout for news, at the same time ev-
or ready to write joke. When the
editor of the GAZETTE was in St. Paul
Friday he called on the remarkable
St. Paul journalist, but after learning
that he was in company with Old
Pease, of the Anoka Union, the night
before, the GAZETTE editor, following
the dictates of his conscience for right,
left Mr.. Hall, and shook the dust of
st. Paul from his feet Friday evening.

tanned the following:

the well-known editor of the Redwood
Falls Gazette, was startled during his
brief visit to St. Paul to receive tele-
gram calling for his return immedi-
ately to head and take charge of a
posse comitatus. 1t appears that, TAX
ing advantage of Mr.: Schmahls alb
sence from home, the Indians at an ad-
jacent agency broke over the rules of
temperance he had aid down by pre-
cept and example for their guidance,
and, fred up with fire water, proceed
ed to annihilate a party of tramps
who we're waiting for harvest to begin
in order to have an opportunity to de-
cline to work. In julius absence there
was no one to command the peace or
command respect from the noble red
man. Mr.. Schmahl secured a Calling
gun from Gov. Nelson and took spe-
cial train last night for the scene of
hostilities. The fact of his coming
with the paraphernalia of war had suf-
ficient moral effect even at long range,
to suspend hostilities, and one of the
tramps, who was supposed to be dead,
decided to come to life, at least long
enough for julius and his gun to put
in an appearance. This prompt action
on his part will be highly appreciated
by the community whose safety is in
his keeping.

himself in we'll on his sons premis-

was Is years old, has only been in this
country few months, and it is limited
that he committed the deed more
through the fact that he was not sup
piled with alcoholic spirits than any
thing else. He had threatened to take
his own life several times since his ar
rival in this country, but his son
thought him merely in jest, and while
he informed the old man that he

MRS. VANCLEVE.

Mrs. Van Cleve, president Woman's

Sunday. Mrs. VanCleve is an old lady
of seventy-four years, possessed with
all her faculties to a remarkable de-
gree. In the morning she spoke on

DEATH OF MRS. e. p. BYRAM.

The wife Of E. P. Byram died at the
family residence in this city last
Tuesday afternoon, between five and
six o'clock. Organic heart trouble was
the cause. Mrs. Byram has been suf-
fering from the dread disease for near
ly three years, and for the last two
years has been confined to the bed
nearly all the time. She was nearly
sixty years old at the time of death,
and leaves a husband and several
children, all of them grown up. She
was member of the w. r. c., and
was valuable worker for the union
during the war, her husband being a
lieutenant of an Illinois company
The funeral services will occur from
the residence at two o'clock this af-
ternoon, Rev. L. L. Hanscom, ofici-
iating.
To those who know doc" Byram
the news comes with a peculiar pa.
thos, because, while expecting the
death of the wife, they have witnessed
tender husband watch over sink
ing woman with a never firing eye
and an ever hopeful feeling. His
watch was day and night, and when
the most intense suffering of the de-
ceased came on there was the same
suffering on the part of the husband.
Days, weeks, months and years he
has kept it up. A heavenly rest has
come for the one and regret for the
other.

.vvlslSKEY-. AND. ALCOHOL.

Aquintette Of tramps made things
interesting around the Morton bridge
across the Minnesota river on Tuesday,
July II, and the lively little spree, al
though occurring on the Renville
county side Of the bridge, became q
Redwood county matter by virtue of
two of the tramps crossing over on to
the Redwood county side, and picked
up, one with q dislocated elbow and
another with an injured spine.
A careful Investigation into the af-
fair BY Sheriff Blethen shows that five
tramps, coming west, met on the banks
of the Minnesota, on Tuesday. They
purchased a keg of beer and bottle
of alcohol. They became drunk, wild,
and fought among themselves. Some
of the young Indian boys belonging to
the Agency came along,and the tramps
urged them to help empty the key.
They consented, and also became
drunk. The tramps allege that gen.
eral fight ensued. The Indians deny
the tale. At any rate three of the
tramps left for the east, leaving two
of their number at the mercy of the
Indians. These two gave their names
as Jerry Casey and Joseph Mann.
Jerry had a dislocated elbow when
picked up, while Mann suffered from
an injured spine. They we're brought
to this city Wednesday afternoon, and
their injuries dressed. In relating their
story to Sheriff Blethen they claim
that the Indians injured them, but the
Indians claim that they received their
injuries, in the fight with their own
class,and the latter story seems likely,
as all the Indians tell the same story
and show no bruises themselves.

.A.......klCKIkG. GAME. !" Z
Redwood Juniors and Four Corners
Chew the RaQ."

VuCW SuS n0ys
The game of ball between the Red
wood Juniors and the Four Corners
last Monday afternoon, on the local
diamond, was a notable one, first for
the enthusiasm and cheering for both
sides, second for the large amount OF
kicking. third for the terrific pound
ing of the sphere, fourth for the large
score, and fifth for the length OF the
game.
The game lasted three hours. 1t
was exciting up to the seventh inning,
because the score then was only 8 to
7 in favor of the Corners but when the
Redwoods came in to bat at the last
half of the seventh, they commenced
on singles and doubles, and never
stopped until they batted twice around,
and thirteen men crossed the plate.
Then the excitement fell fiat. The
willow was supreme, but the Corners
had lost their control. They COM
menced to lose interest, and made
costly errors, so that before Redwood
finished it's inning in the eighth they
had piled up % scores, while the Cor
ners had only nine. The Redwood
boys knocked out sixteen singles and
five doubles, while the Corners got
twelve singles and two doubles.
The game was stopped for some
time in the third by a kick from Red
wood over three-bagger by c. Lusch-
or, which was declared to be a foul
and which was doubtful. Again in
the seventh by the same club owing
to the Corners batting out of order
Much time was absorbed in these
kicks, as also another kick from the
same club over Umpire Cummings
not seeing G.. King put out at third
by cunning trick of Martin, who, at
ter the ball was thrown to him, held il
until King, supposing that Rollins
had the ball, stepped off the base, and
Martin put him out.

proved. He presented petition asking
that the park, which is at the corner OF
Lyton place and Park avenue, and is
260 by SO feet, be improved at once
The matter was referred to the park
superintendent to report at a future
meeting.
The Routine Grist.
The park superintendent presented
the July pay roll, amounting to 50, 062.35.
Of this amount $3.50 was spent on
work in Como park, S327.S0 for work on
Como boulevard and S54 % ON inside
parks. The most of the expense for
Como park, the superintendent stated,
was for hauling water to wet trees and
plants. In this connection, he suggest
ed that the city engineer make plans for
reservoir and tank, and aiso survey
for pipes to be run to various parts of
the park from the proposed reservoir.
Attention was also called by the super
lntendent to the necessity of finishing
the boulevard around the lake this fall.
President Wheeiock suggested some
person be employed to inspect the work
which is being done by Contractor AL
len Black IN the park. The Superin-
tendent was directed to employ some
competent man to inspect the work.
Salary not mentioned.
The city engineer was directed to
furnish plans and specifications for
reservoir and piping. as suggested by
the park superintendent.
The city engineer was also directed to
prepare. specifications for new frame
barn al Como park. to cost $1,000.
A bill of George Grant for $66l, which
1t was claimed was due for rent and
damage to pump at Como, was referred
fn In Ill i'm
was legal one. :
The park superintendent was di-
rected TO grade the driveway around
the lake. The cost would be, the su-
perintendent said, about 81, 800, outside
OF the work done by the Workhouse
prisoners.
The park superintendent saw it was
necessary that some police protection
be given Como park, especially on
Sunday. President Wheelock thought
the park board should employ their
own police and not call on the city po-
lice for protection. MIR. Aberle thought
Under the circumstances the police de-
partment should caro- for the park in
stead OF the board spending money for
police protection.
Bills amounting to S1,62l. and pay roll
for cuStodianS and park police amount
ing to 1925, beside the laborers' pay roll
of S2,O62.35, were allowed.
The common council was requested to
put the streets leading to Como park IN
good condition, especially that portion
or Como avenue between Union street
and Como boulevard.
The proposition to put lightning con-
0uctors on the superintendent house
III Como park at cost of SO was read
ana an Tiled. A protest from the Eighth
WARD and Como union against the build
ing OF the pavilion at Como park in the
lake, and allowing Minneapolis parties
to control the privileges, was read, and
on motion OF Mr.. Aberle was placed OH
file.
The board adjourned to meet Mon
day evening. when the proposition from
the street railway company to erect
pavilion at Como park will be brought
up and acted upon.
