Omoon OF the year in her prime:
Beam soft, mother-hearted and tender;
Earth hath not a holier time.
For the seed that slept long in the furrow
Hath Weakened to life and to DEATH;
From the grave that was cerement and burroy
Hath risen to passionate breath.

Hath thrilled to the breeze and the dew,
And fallen, to stir in some far night,
And all the old gladness renew.

Thy banners out1afne in the sky,
And under the men write the story
That cries to the heavens for reply
The story OF work and endeavor,
OF burden and weakness and strength,
The story that goes on forever,
Through centuries dragging Its length.
And thou, ever stately and golden,
Thou moon Of the latest years prime,
What sight though thine eye hath beholden,
No grief to thy pathway may climb,
As over the fields that are reapen,
At evening and level and shorn,
Thou pourest thy ~spleudors that deepen
The rose and the silver OF morn.

Water and Milk.

Two cultured Detroit girls were at a
country house for a month, kept by an
honest old farmer, and just after sup
per they sat down to talk over their
pleasant surroundings.

milk that was. Nice and rich, and 50
much better than that blue stuff we
get in town"
Its too good to last, I'm afraid"
responded the older one.

He Found Ont.

In administering punishment in the
navy different penalties carry with
them reduction to a lower conduct
class. Of these there are four, the
fourth being the lowest, and one placed
in it is deprived of shore leave for a
period of three months. For some
breach the executive officer of the
United States ship Juniata found it
necessary to place a man on the fourth
class who decided to try to obtain a
mitigation of his sentence. With this
object in view, he sought and obtained
an interview with the executive officer,
when the following conversation en-
sued: "Well, l., you wanted to see
me?' "Yes, sir, l did. l wanted to
know, Mr.. B., why you put me on the
fourth CLASP" "Ah, you want to know
why I put YOU on the fourth class, eha
Well. I'll tell you, l.. / put you ON

Adams STAFF.

The Talmudic writers tell us that
"the blessed God gave to the first man
in Paradise a staff which had been
created between the stars. Adam
gave it to Enoch, Enoch to Noah, Noah
to Shem, Shem to Abraham. Abraham
to Isaac, Isaac to Jacob, Jacob carried
it into Egypt and gave it to his son
Joseph. When Joseph died his house
hold goods were taken to the house OF
Pharaoh. Pharaoh took the staff OF
Adam, which had descended to
Joseph from the first man, and put it
among his special treasures"

TERROR AND TENDERFCOT.
A Story OF Cold Nerve Developed Under
stress of Circumstances.

A Story OF Cold Nerve Developed Under
Stress of Circumstances.
LAS a general thing said an old
f~orty-niner, 1.-The tenderfoot wasn't in
1T with the bad man of the mining
camp, and it wasn't natural to expect
that he should be, but occasionally
there did appear one who could more
tina hold his own. l recall a man
named Caleb Finby, who came to
Dream gulch in its earlier days when
that region wa full of bad men. He
was a tall, spare young man with a
head full of brains and he was quick
and businesslike in everything that he
did, but still he as not a man that
the generality of men would have
picked out as the possessor of nerve.
MIR. Finby set out one day to go to
the neighboring camp of DEVILS Claw
canyon. AS he was proceeding along
the road he suddenly came upon, or,
rather, there came suddenly upon him,
a man who asked him to throw up his
hands. 1t wa Big Bill Better, the ter
ror OF Devils Claw canyon.
81 throw 'em up said Mr.. Finby,
cheerfully, as he raised them, because
You ask me to, and / don't want to
seem impolite. But at the same time I
must inform you that you are taking
an entirely unnecessary precautions;
my gun isn't loaded
Mr.. Better was himself a man of
fine gall, and his recognition of that
quality in another awakened in him a
certain degree of admiration. Quic.,
to perceive the chance in Mr.. Belter's
manner, faint and underlined as it a
Mr.. Finby went on:
But l realize now as / have done
before, the carelessness of going about
in this way practically unarmed, and
if you'll permit me I'll load now as a
guard against future contingencies
MIR. Finby's hands came down as he
uttered the concluding words, for he
had seen the hand hat had held the
pistol leveled against him fall slowly
as the terror listened with a sort Of
astonished amusement.
"Mr. Finby had in his hip pocket a
pistol and in his waistcoat pocket q
box of cartridges, which he had bought

but which he had never brought
together into useful conjunction.
partly because he was not personally
b~loodthirsty, and partly because of
overcontidence in the human race. But
he proceeded now to load with perfect
calmness, but in his heart amazed at
the utter lack of %precaution now dis
played by Mr.. Better, who stood lean
ing against a tree and laughing, ap-
parently quite overcome by the broad
humor of the situation. Suddenly it
was discovered that Mr.. Finby's gun
was being held in such a position that
Mr.. Better could, without inconven-
fence, look square into the muzzle of it,
and Mr.. Better discovered also at the
same moment in Mr.. Finby's eye q light
whose meaning no sane man could by
any possibility misunderstood. Mr..
Better was a man with a vast apprecia-
ton of the humorous, but not even his
sense of humor could discover the
faintest CLEAN of fun in the situation
as at presentdeveloped, and he suffered

HOW TO OIL THE OCEAN.
An Invention That Has Commended
Itself to the photographic Office.

An Invention That Has Commended
Itself to the photographic Office.
The last pilot chart issued by the
United States photographic Office con-
tains description of novel oil-distrib-
uting sea anchor, invented by Thomas w.
Wilson, a seaman of the United States
navy, serving on board the United States
training ship Portsmouth.
The device consists of a triangular
frame of wood, crosslashcd at the angles
and provided with span of three legs.
Across the interior triangular space of
the frame is stretched piece of canvas,
fitted with eyelet holes, and laced
through these eyelet holes to the frame.
To back and support the canvas piece of
netting is laced to the frame, and in the
middle of the canyas is stitched a
bag-oF double bag-consisting of two
thicknesses of canvas.
The space between these bags is the oil
chamber. At the trailing end of the
outer bag a simple valve may be placed,
or the outer bag may be perforated with
sail needles. A tow line from the vessel
is bent to the span, and a simple rubber
hose or tube connects with the oil cham
Der. This hosele to the vessel, being
seized to the tow line at sntervals, so as
to insure its being kept lack while the
tow line is under tension.
On board the vessel a pump or bulb
syringe is employed to feed the oil into
the oil chamber Of the distributor, as may
be desired. For fishing vessels the de-
vice may be kept attached to the anchor
by rope of sufficient length to insure
that the device shall be awash when
in use.
The device can then be streamed when
the anchor is let go. Two minor modih-
cations are suggested by the Hydrograph-
ic Office. First, weight and span, to
attached to the anchor, and
floating free; second trail
ing bag of only one thickness of
punctured canvas to be used, the interior
of this bag to be filled with picked oakum,

to be party of gamblers. He went in
search of aid, and met Officer Eivers
whom he told of the affair, and the two
planned capture. They did not sue
coed, however. No sooner had they got
to the house after dismounting and
leaving their horses than the reports of
what seemed to be three pistol shots in
quick succession were heard, and away
went the horses to the barracks.
The two officers started after them, but
were unable to catch their frightened
steeds. The house is said to be rendez-
vous for gamblers. Many of the residents
OF the neighborhood have appeared in the
police court recently.
Saturday night was not the first time
that Officer Maguire's horse has left him.
Two weeks ago, after he had raided a
house in New Houston street occupied by
Sarah Gay, the wife of one of the Never
murderers, he went out to look for his
horse and it was not to be found. The
animal was captured afterwards at West
Broad and Waldburg streets.

RAIL AND cRossTIE.

The eleventh annual convention of the
Roadmasters' Association of America, of
which Mr., Reed of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway is president, has
been in session in Chicago. The Railway
Age says of it: 1.-THE reports covered the
following practical topics: Care of right
of way, protective labor organizations,
track appliances, economy in track work,
railway terminals, sub-drainage, track
Joints. These statements of the results
of extended experience in maintaining
roadway and track, and the comparison
of views which follows are of very great
benefit to those participating and to rail
WAYS generally, and the highest
commentator is due to the road
masters who originated and continue the
work of the association. President. Reed
has not only sustained but elevated the
already high character of this useful
body, and the authors of the various re-
ports are also entitled to credit Mr.. M.
E. Hutchins, assistant master of trans
portation Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western, was. present during the cOnven-
ton and took part in the discussions.
The subject of secret associations was
handled very frankly in the report of the
committee OF the association to which
was referred the request of the Brother
erhood of Section E'Oremen for recogni-
tion and encouragement by their superior
officers. The roadmasters do not con-
slider secret organization or the principle
of strikes consistent with their relations
to the railways which employ them, and
they see no reason why the trackmen
should place themselves in an attitude of
seeming hostility to their common en-
ployers.
Henry Willard made his first start in life as
a o0k canvas ser.
