LOVE AND |.

Once l found Love sleeping
And Gagged him with smile,
Now that have caught you
You must stay awhile"
But he plned and fretted,
Signing ceaselessly,
As he beat against the bars,
"Give me liberty"
Touched by his lamenting,
| set wide the door;
Out he flew aud vanished,
And / was as before.
By my lonely hearthstone
Bitterly wept,
When with twilight's shadows
Through the door Love crept.
Though die when prisoned,"
He whispered, 'yet when free
Obi woman heed the lesson
straight return to thee"

Black Hills Mine Accident.

An accident occurred in the Holy Terror
mine, near Rapid City, q few days ago,
which resulted in the death of Louis
Whittenburg, a miner. He was at work
in a tunnel OF solid rock, about thirty
feet from the sariace, when a cave-in
twenty ieet above him covered him up.
A force oil men was set to work at once
and dug down to the buried miner. The
latter shouted to the rescuers as they
worked, and when he was finally uncoV-
cred he did not seem to be injured much.
just as the men were about to lift
Whiteutarg out they heard another mass
OF rock start TO fall and they fed for
their lives. A great volume OF rock came
crashing down, again covering the un-
fortunate man up completely. The men
again went 10 work, but when they had
again removed the rock they found Whit
tenburg had been killed by the second
cave-in.
