FRIENDSHIP Is BEST.
II. Z. HOBBs.1

| ''Sail beautiful ship across the sea,
And bring back my love TO me-
Sang maiden fair, sweet and true.
| With hair of gold. and eyes of blue;
AS she idly lay ON the yellow sand.
And traced a name with dainty hands.
Twas but to know to love her we'll.
This dainty. laughing. lovely Nell.
| Long months ago he sailed away,
To return on this-our trysting day;
He's coming home. my love SO true.''
she whispered, raising her eyes of blue.
To watch the white mist gliding by,
Across tie blue and silver sky.
Had they not loved full long and well?
(Never fear had trusting Nell)
Dreaming away the summer day,
While the waters kissed the laughing bay.
And the blue waves sang. love cannot die"
And the sun rode high in a cloudless sky,
And the fair maid smiled in sweet content,
For life to life rare beauty lent;
And youth and hope in merry guiso,
Raised airy castles before her eyes.
But daylight waned and hid her face,
And soft, still eve crept on-apace;
And hope that made life fair and sweet,
As eve lay dying at her feet.
20, come ere the daylight dies.
My love, with the beautiful eyes!
Come. ere the glorious sun in the west,
Is hid by the mountains towering crest"
Across the oceans fair, silver rim,
She sees, Tom beneath her hats wide brim,
A stately ship with wings of white,
Come gliding in. cross bars of golden light.
Slowly she comes, in solemn power,
Stealing up in the twilight hour
When light and darkness softly blends.
And to the pier her course she wends.
"Oh he is coming towards the beach,"
land her cheeks grew red as a damask peach.)
Now waves. my secret, you must keep,
I'll make believe I'm fast asleep,
And, if he kiss me. none can tell.''
Said dainty, laughing, lovely Nell.
So the white Ids lowered over the eyes,
when love is a laggard, how time flies!
The wild waves sang on the pebless shore,
True, true is love. forevermore.''
All true is love" thinks dainty Nell
As She hears the step she knows SO well.
Softly it falls on her listening ear.
And she holds the breath of her soul to hear, y
The Passionate story of love Oft told
By this lover OF hers, so true and bold.
The moments pass. he comes not yet,
Angry eyes with tears are wet;
The brim Of her hat, as she lay on the sand,
She pushes back with impatient hand,
Meath ripping waves of Sunny hair,
The blue eyes lift with wondering stare,
Not far away on the glistening sand,
She sees him kneel, and take the hand.
And kiss the red lips ola rival belle,
ALIAS for her, fair trusting NellJ
Excuse me sir. it grows quite late,
/ really have not time to wait;
How like those clouds to-Alpine snow,
Goodnight, goodnight" (how dark it grows)
Did he call me cold and proudy "Ah, well,
Friendship is best" said lovely Nell.
False, false Is love forevermore,''
She said, as she quit the lonely shore.

With due regard for fairness, it is
too early to say whether General Hews-
ton is to blame for the death of the wan
dering musician in London or not. But
whether he acted in self-defense or not,
1t is safe to wager that no English court
will miss an opportunity to stick a crime
on an American citizen, no matter what
the circumstances. Englishmen despise
us. And it's that which makes lallgag-

Give us lest on exposes. We are
now to have an expose of the Irish
troubles that have been laid away these
seven years. Of course many Irish
citizens in this country will be interested
in Tynan's book, but the rest of the
country ought not to be expected to get
excited over English.Irish squabbles.
And 1t is hardly necessary to add the
country will not get excited.

venturers. The forts were a mixture
of trading post and military establish
ment They were a strong protection
against the Indians and those pictnr-
esque figures, the coureurs de bois idled
away their time there while waiting
for the winter hunt
Some of these forts were built as far
back as 1850. and away mp in Wiscon-
sin there have been found the remains
of some of these old-fashioned forti6-
cations
One of them. named Fort St Antoine,
was built by Nicholas Perrot, and used
as his headquarters while he was act
ing for the French government among
the Indian tribes of the upper Missis-
sippi. 1t was there that in May. 1850,
he took formal possession of the coun-
try as commissioner for King Louis
XIV.
In the year 1855 there was unearthed
near the village of Trempealeau, Wis,
and near a bluff overlooking the Mis-
sissippi. what was believed to be por-
ton OF Fort ST Antoine.
a capacious fireplace covered with
ashes was the first discovery. Another
fireplace, opposite the first and sixty
feet distant. was next found; while be-
tween these two and not quite in the
middle. third was uncovered
It was found afterward that two
more fireplaces had been met by the
graders of a railroad some time before
and destroyed by them without exami-
nation.
These posts consisted usually of a
few log houses, strongly built and sur
rounded by one or more rows of stout
oak palisades, twelve feet or more in
height
1t was in Green Bay settlement how
ever, that the happy, careless French
settlers were in constant danger from
the Indians
ion in this country until England tri-
umphed over France, that settlement
was the headquarters for all the trade
down the great highway of the Mis-
sissippi
The first post built there was called
Fort st. Francis, and the garrison sue
ceeded in holding the surrounding
tribes in awe. with the exception of
the Foxes, who were the indomita BILE
foes OF the French.
The Foxes were located along the
river bearing their name. and they had
fort which was surrounded by three
rows of palisades and was defended By
FIVE hundred warriors
In 11i6. NJ de Louviguy laid siege to
this fort with force of eight hundred
French and savages On the third
day, just as the French were about to
undermine the defenses, the Foxes sur
rendered and were permitted to depart,
on the condition that they would make
peace with the French and their allied
tribes
The peace did not last long, and .
sharp lookout had to be kept for the
troublesome Foxes
In 17a3 Sieur de Lignery headed an
expedition against the Foxes but the
latter were too fieet-footed for his men,
and he had to turn back without any
fighting.
In 1887 the French built fort at
Prairie du Chen II was destroyed in
the first year of the Revolutionary war
to prevent it falling into the hands of
Gen. George Rogers Clarke, who was
said to be marching on Prairie du Chen
with large force.
Indian traders who had stored their
furs in the fort carried them away in
canoes and then set fire to the old
buildings thus disposing OF the last
relic of French domi.ion in the north

GREAT STRIKE or GOLD ORE
Rich Discovery in Clear Creek
County, Colorado.
OVER 1900 OUNCES TO THE TON
Together With More Than
1000 Ounces of Silver.
Additional Samples Literally Studded
With Crystals of GoId---A Six-inoh
Vein Which Developed Wonderfully
Under the Assay---A markable Strike,

GEORGETOWN, Col, Jan. 15.-one Of
the most remarkable strikes of rich ore
ever discovered in Clear Creek county
was made last week in the Independent
min, in East Argentine district. A six
inch vein of sylvanite was found at
depth Of over 100 feet and an assay
shows it to contain 1858 ounces of gold
and 2,409 ounces of silver to the ton. A
qualitative test proved the remaining
substance to be tellunum.
The owners have already sacked up
several hundred pounds of material and
from all appearances they are only ON
the edge of an immense pocket as it ex-
tends into the unopen ground on either
side of the shaft and also along the bot
tom Of the shaft, varying in width from
A to inches.
Additional samples have been brought
to town which are literally studded on
one surface with complex groups of
elongated crystals of gold and some
very perfect octahedrons with sunken
surfaces
