Everybody who could get away
from DeLamar last Sunday, went
to Silver to witness the contest
between Nyblom and Madden In
the single handed drilling match
for which $3.50 side had been
put up. Nothing ever before
had created such rivalry be-
tween the two camps, and every
man in either town exhibited a
most commendable loyalty for
his own camp each believing
they had a winner, and money
was put up even on both sides.
A large granite block had been
provided and faced and set up IN
front of the court house and at
5 o'clock, the Silver City man
began his fifteen minutes test OF
muscle, wind and skill. With
Messrs. Phillips and Davey as
judges and Messrs. Leonard and

the first blow was struck by
Nyblom, and until time was call
ed, the blows were rained on the
head of the drill in a manner
which showed strength and en-
durance which elected big ap

was rapidly done, and, with the
exception of a couple of missed
strokes, not q mishap occurred

There i many rest in the road Of life

And many tone from the better land
II the querulous hear would make il.
To the soul that Is full OF hope,
And Whose beautiful trust ne'er fsileth.
The grass Is gncn and the flowers are bright
Though the winters storm preyaileih.
Better hope, though the clouds hang low
And TO keep the eyes still lined;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never night without a day,
Oran evening without a morning
Aud the darkest hour. as the proyerb goes,
l. the hour before the dawning.
There l. many gem in the path Of life,
Which We pass inOu Idle pleasure,
That i richer far than the jeweIed crown
or the miser's hoantied treasure;
II may be the love Of a little child,
or "a mothers prayer To heaven,
or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For cup OF water given
Better to weave in the web Of life
\ bright and golden filling,
And do Gods will with "A cheerful heart,
And hands that are ready and willing.
Than to snap the delicate, minute thread
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for tangled ends,
And sit and grieve and wonder.
