Chief-Officer Sleuth, what success
have you to report?
''But partial success, captain"
"You located the scene accurately?"
Eyes, sir. The body was found with
two bullet holes through the hack.
There was no weapon about the body
and the house was ransacl1ed-"
There can be no mistake about this,

None whatever, captain. 1t is quite

Chief-Officer Sneak, what success

went inside
''How long was this after the body
was found?"
Supposed to be about seven hours,
sir. As the lieutenant went inside we
walked three times carefully around

noticed boy who wore white muslin

"And you arrested him?"
Certainly! The corpse also had on
a white muslin shirt, and here was
clew, sure enough. We all three put
the nippers on him until he could be
handcuffed-"
what was his age?'
''He was all of seven years old"

The mountains, and the forests and the seas,
Oldest Of mOurners with pathetic tons,
Have each a natural music, all their own.
Set in accord with human destinies.
Sad, tender manifold. What is more sweet
Than woodland melodies at noons More
mild
Than dimpled ocean. like laughing child
That lisps, and rolls jewel TO our feet.
Breathlessly calm: And then, within an hour,
Behold that self-same ocean on the shore
Lashes; the forest quakes; with desfening
power
The rocks are rent. Then, OIL amid that
roar
Awe-struck we sink, we fan upon our knees,
Ne mountains, and ye forests, and ye seas!
The mountains and the forests and the seas
Have each their music, with our mortal lot
In sympathy, to soothe, e1alt, Appease;
And man, too, has his music; Has note
or worldwide sweetness; tender reveries,
Dirges Of buried bIisses unforgot,
Rejoicing pseans. glorious symphonies;
But all Of them lack something they have

The voice once heard In Eden; and the ear,
Pleased with rich sound is as when some one

Oh. how her paddles fyi
For that the way the babies say
To other folk 'oy-by;"
The trees bend down to kiss her
And the birds in rapture sing,
As there she stands and waves her hands
The cunnin' little thing!
When baby goes a-rockins
In her bed At close Of day,
At hide-aBd-seek
On her dainty cheek
The dreams and the 6imples piayi
Then It's sleep in the tender kisses
The guardian angels bring

PAINTING WITH A HOSE.

Worlds Fair Process.
The big machines at the Santa Fe
shops are covered up today. n because
it is Labor Day in particular, but because
the interior of the shops is being made
ready for painting. Immense cloths
cover everything to protect the immense
but delicate machinery from the dust
that would almost blind you if you
should happen to get in the way of it.
The painting is to be done by the new
and greatly improved process that was
so successful in getting the worlds fair
buildings in readiness for the event of
last year. There is more to this how
ever, because the tall rough walls must
be first cleaned of the accummu-
lated dust and smoke and cob
webs of many years. Yesterday the
walls were perfectly black. Today there
is faint glimmering of white at irregu-
lar points where the whitewash of former
years has not been entirely knocked off,
Fifteen men stand around in different
places on the great beams that help hold
up the roof and carry. in their hands
long iron pipes with nozzles on
one end, the other end being connect
ed with the rubber hose that conveys the
compressed air that does the work so
rapidly and thoroughly; for com
pressed air is the new agent in rapidity
in painting.
1t would take an endless time almost
to clean the buildings in the
old way by hand, but it will
take less than two days to do
it this way, the air working with such
great pressure against the walls that the
dirt fairly flies of in flakes. The opera
tion would remind you of sprinkling the
side of of house with garden hose.
The painting will begin tomorrow or
the next day, and will be carried on in
the same manner and with the aid of the
