Mother song

Soft sleeps the earth IN moonlight blest;
Soft sleeps the bough above the nest:
Ger lonely dePths the whipPoorwill
Breathes one faint note and all is still
Sleep, little darling; night is long
Sleep while l sing thy cradle song
About thy dream the dropping flower
Blows her sweet breath from hour 10 hour,
And white the great moon spreads her wings
While low, while far, the dear earth swings
Sleep, little darling; all night long
The winds shall sing thy slumber song
Powers Of the earth and OF the air
Shall have thee in their mother-care,
And hosts Of Heaven. together prest.
Bend over thee, their last, their best
Hush, little darling; from the deep
Some mighty wing shall fan thy sleep

The thought most optimistic that

That pessimiss3 paysl
Why only yesterday wrote

Returning 1t ere night
THESE lines are nice" the writer said:
They show a dainty touch;
But you our paper can't have read,
We think, SO very much.
This happy stuff is out OF date
Depression is the thing,
And verses now must growl at fate
To have The proper ring.
Declare that life is wholly grief.
That all on earth is wrong,
Make every mans fool or thief
The burden OF your song
Drop gladsomcness drop all your mirth,
Drop sunshine and fresh air.
And send US Ia ten dollars worth
Ofgioom and dark despair "

Eccentric Abner Kirby.

The late Abner Kirby, of Milwau-
kee, was man Of many eccentricities
OF character. AS landlord he puZ-
zled his guests by naming his rooms
instead OF numbering them, and a
newcomer was frequently startled at
the order given the bell-boy to SHOW
the gentleman up to Gehenna. y
Though fond of ardent spirits, he
swore in 1876 that he would not take
another drink until Tilden was elect
ed, and he did not During the SIX
ties he lost $500, 900 in wheat and
later made $50, 900 in thirty days in
the same kind Of speculation. one
afternoon soon after this he tossed
$50, 900 in bills in his wifeS lap. as
she sat in the hotel parlor, ana said;

(Pa. correspondent Of the Pittsburg
Dispatch. She is blooded COW and
has not been used to diet Of UNI
brellas and old cans, But during
the late storm while hay was scarce
she ate an umbrella. Yesterday she
was taken i'll, 1t is supposed that
the umbrella opened after the cow
had swallowed it. At all events, one
side of the bovine became much en-
larged and the owner called in DR..
Coleman, a veterinary surgeon, to
diagnose the case.
This morning he paid his patient a
visit and sound an abscesS in the
right side of the animal near the
shoulder He was convinced that
something had entered the abscess,
and by the use Of his pinchers he
succeeded In catching nOld OF ana
pulling out one Of the ribs of the
umbrella. 1t was twenty-four inches
in length and attached to it was the
brace eighteen inches in length.
Another examination followed and
another rib was taken out. Again
inserting his probe, the doctor came
upon a soft substance which he felt
certain was the lining of the lung Of
the COW. He gave pull and was
awarded in bringing out the covering
of the umbrella, 24x22 inches. An.
other rib was also secured.
The animal is still living and will
doubtless recover, although the doc
tor is of the opinion that there arc
still other ribs under the skin.

MARY V. PROCTOR c'dto' 'iNi pa NHOS
took her when a child to Greene
County, Ohio. Here she was edu-
Gated in the common schools and
graduated from the Xenia Female
College. For time she taught
school in the country and closed her
career as a teacher after a service of
five years at the Ohio Soldiers and
Sailors Orphans Home at Xenia. 1t
was while in this school that she
met her husband, Thomas NJ. Proc
tor, then managing the paper pub
lished by the pupils of that institu-
tion. They were married in 1879,
and few months later he founded
the Clinton County Democrat at Will
mington, Ohio, still prosperous pa
per. The Patriot was bought in 1888,
and was at once improved in way
befitting the wealth and intelligence
of the county, which is one OF the
oldest and richest in Ohio. Mr..
Proctor died in July, 1891. AT first
Mrs. Proctor was inclined to sell the
Patriot, but found she could do so
only at a loss. As it was on paying
basis, she determined to continue in
full charge, and within the first year
of her absolute control she increased
the circulation and took wellearned
place among the editors of the State.

All Same Phoenix.

We again call attention to the un- slightly and dangerous water holes which infest our pretty town at present. The entire west front of the block from Fourth to Fifth streets on Mill avenue presents the appearance of street in Venice, only the smell reminds one of & stale salt herring pond. This will gradually evaporate until four or five days, from now will be seen miniatu re typhus breeding ground, or rather lake. The beautifully frescoed green, that will coat the surface of this pond in a few days will certainly not fsvorably impress any intending settler who may be 80 unfortunate as to see the death puddle. Is not time then, that these depressions be filled with earth that the rain may drain off to one side ss in other towns and not be the cause of any unnecessary disease? Property own ners! look to your land values and abate this nuisance.

 A party consisting of Mrs. c. o. Aus tin, May Austin, Albert Austin and Della Cummings, left here for the Castle Creek hot springs yesterday morning to be gone few weeks. The springs is getting to be very popular resort for invslids and others seeking recreation.

 The rainfall in Tempe Friday was 1.6 inches. This is the heaviest fall of rain for this season of the year that has ever occurred in the history of this section The range of the barometer was from 28.735 to 28.8S0. While the storm partly damaged some of the hay that was out, the benefit to the grain and other crops will pay for the loss ten times over. All the farmers are jubili- ant, the majority of whom predict a wet summer.
 The Normal Zetetic society had a very pleasant meeting Friday evening considering the inclement weather.

FIGHTING INDIANS
Provide Business for a Tempe
 Constable.
Chung Sing, an AVaricious China man, Thereby Comes In Con-
 flict With the Government.

A ripple of excitement was caused on the streets Friday evening when a drunken Pima Indian staggered up to Constable Colvillo and informed him that an Indian had murdered squaw around the east end of the butte.
 The constable hurriedly left for the scene of the supposed tragedy with the drunken Indian as guide. He soon came upon scene; not of murder as he suspected, but two other Indixns under the influence of whisky, fighting for ell they were worth. He soon re- ported the belligerents and steered the fighters and the informer off to jail. Two were Pimss and one . Papago. One of the Pimas could speak English and claimed to be on the Indian police. On the road to jail it was ascertslnsd that the whisky was purchased from Chung Sing, . Chinese merchant in east Tempe. A warrant was therefore issued for his arrest and his hearing will come of just as soon as the Indians sober up.
 After locking the Indians in the cooler the constable had no sooner turned his back when yelling and scuffiing was heard on the inside. Quickly unlocking the doors he found the two Indians at each other again. Blood was flowing from the Papago's nose, while his opponent was anxious to get in another blow. The constable thought it would be good idea to chain one to the middle of the floor, but soon changed bis mind, as it would be an advantage for the unclaimed man, there being only one ring and chain in the house. After threatening to hang them if they fought again, he left them for the night to kill each other if they wanted to. The Indian that could speak English took no hand in the fight. Yesterday morning upon opening the door the same two fighting Indians were each decorated with a black eye, which was evidence enough that they had a good time during the night.
 What the iail needs most at present and what it should have is about three rings with short chains attached and securely fastened to three sides of the room to provide for just such an emer- gency as the one above cited.
