B A A SCORE DEAD.
WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE.

MILWAUKEE,, July 3O.-A heavy loss
Of life resulted in Phillips from the fire.
It is estimated that between fifteen and
twenty-five persons were either burned
70 death or drowned in their efforts to
escape from the flames that destroyed
the town. The only refuge from the
IRE was the lake and hundreds Of people
fed to the water to avoid death in the
fire. In the rush the weaker ones fell
down or were carried into the deep
water and persisted. Others, overcome
by the heat and smoke, fell in the
streets and were burned to death. The
entire northern part Of the state
Is q Sea of Flame.
The country is dotted with the homes
Of farmers and homesteaders and with
lumber camps. There is no doubt that
hundreds Of; these buildings have been
burned, while the fate Of the people is
in doubt. It is probable that many Of
these people have also lost their lives.
OF those who persisted here three bodies
have been found. The citizens who es-
capped the fire are homeless and without
food or clothing, and are in q state of
the most serious restitution. The tele-
graph operator sending the news from
Phillips, tapped the telegraph wire in
the woods, and with a board for a table
and the earth for a seat sent his message
with a pocket telegraph instrument.

How to Catch Mioa.

Take jar or tin bucket and fill il
about half full of water and place it where
mice are in the habit OF promenading.
Take a board eighteen or twenty inches
long, one end OF which lay OF the floor OF
ground, as the case may be, and the other
end on top of the bucket. Sprinkle a
handful of oats over the water In the
bucket This will not sink, but will re-
main on top and hide the water from
view. Now sprinkle wheat, corn or any
thing else that mice like on the board sc
as to entice them to the top, when they
will see the oats in the bucket and jumI
in to get 1t and soon perish.
I have tried this plan with quite salts
factory results. The trap is always set,
and, when a mouse once gets in, there is
no getting out. OF course it should be
noticed every day or two and the drowned
rodents removed. l have never tried to
catch rats in this way, but think If a jal
that would hold six gallons or more were
used, the :plan would prove quite salts

EDITOR BROWN.

He was only an editor, old and gray,
And he wrote the years of his life away,
Hour 10y hour and day by day,
Watching the world as 1T hurried along,
Hearing Its plant and Its merry song,
Seeing the change of smiles and tears,
Keeping account OF the drift of years,
Toiling when Others lay down to sleep.
Totling that others might laugh and weep.
once, it was long and long ago.
When his heart with faith was all aglOW,
Many the brilliant scheme he schemed
Many the golden dream he dreamed,
OF wealth and power and lasting lame,
OF peace at tie end and cherished name;
And the world was bright, and the world was
wide,
And hope was as strong as the ocean tide,
And he looked away to the years unborn,
And the woes he plucked hid never thorn.
Once, when he walked through the little town,
With its dusty streets and its buildings brown,
He vowed he would work for a nobler life
Than the homely town and Its petty strife.
There was work for steady heart and hand,
There were wrongs 10 right throughout the
There was work for man with clear, cool
brain,
There was work that would not be in vain.
And he took up the burden OF life and toiled
Through want and sorrow and hope spoiled,
But the golden fleece shone always bright
AS it hung beyond, In the losy light,
In the mellow glow of the coming day
When he should find and bear it away.
One by one the years went on.
One by one the years were gone;
And yet he tOiled in the country town,
With its dusty streets and buildings brown;
Toiled with a steady heart and hand
! To right the wrongs that VeXeQ the land;
Toiled each day with q troubled brain,
! For all his toiling seemed in vain,
/ And the noblest work OF his busy life
! Was lost IN the petty village strife.
/ Full many an inspiration came,
And was sent abroad in the quest for fame,
But Jones came in and growled tie same,
And Smith found fault, and that load of
! wood"
! Never arrived just when it should,
/ And Hobbs dropped round maliciously
And killed his ad. with hend1Sh glee,
| And then there came the saddest day,
| When the Local News was a load OF hay
! So one by one the years went on,
One by one the years were gone;
/ PeriShed the brilliant schemes he schemed,
Faded the golden dreams he dreamed.
| And the fire OF hope. That once had shed
/ Its light on his life, was cold and dead.
Yet the weary heart and the shaky hand
{ Hammered away to help the land,
! And the people who lived III the country town
! Were tired and sick of Editor Brown"
And then, one day, tie sanctum chair,
| Worn so smooth, stood empty where
Old Editor Brown had toiled with care;
! And the old hand-press stood gaunt and still,
/ And no man came TO present his bill.
! For the weary brain and the shaky hand
/ Had ceased to toll tor the troubled land.
! And the people who lived in the country town
! Missed the homely wisdom of Editor Brown,
| The man who had written his life away,
/ Hour by hour and day by day,
! Till he was old and bent and gray.

MOTHER AND DREAMS.

Her darling baby had long battled with sleep.
But at last was compelled to surrender;
His eyeiids dropped and his breath came oeeP
And his face grew sottened and tender
And his mother long sat the cradle beside
And gazed, by the freight leaping.
With ali of a mothers Joy and pride
On the face of her darling sleeping.
The fire danced high; the mother bent,
4 foot meath the cOCertetS showing,
Then softly smiled, q smile that meant
Such depth Of tender loving
In dreams her eyes the future scanned,
And glorious visions came leaping.
(How Oft has mother so dreamed and
planned
For the babe in the cradle sleeping ,
She saw him play at her feet, then stray
And into the distance wander;
And she steeled her heart Tor the fateful day
With dream of his greatness yonder.
The fire danced high, a nle77y flame,
That set all the room a-9tolCing,
That ckered and futtered and trent and came,
Yet ecer e0dS upl0ar'd going
She saw worn hearts and hearts that are glad
Their love in wreath entwining,
And then she saw fame come and crown her
lad
With the garland so strangely shining.
She saw his name amid other names
More tenderly bright none otner.
For his was the kind that love be-fames-
And she? All, she oOdS has mother
High danced the Jire, flame upon flame,
Then sunk to q tender gto1Y,
And gLolGed as If ii kHelU that Fame

She saw the years so swiftly past
A procession OF urchinS singing
But O gray-haired man toward her boy at last
Came slowly with sharp scythe swinging.
And then with hearing strangely clear
She heard the dirge and the weeping,
And awoke from her dream of death with fear
And turned to her baby sleeping.
Sleeping She gazed with a tigerish look
On the babe she in dreams had been wreath
ing
With fame. The infant she softly shook,
For, God She could not hear its breathing I!
The fire had burned ont. there aoere ashes gray,
But the merry flame lcaS missing;
