The m DON food in the solitude
STRAINED through the tim Der gray a

The moon flood in the solitude
Streamed through the tim Der gray and
cold,
And soft the night winds interlude
Came past the brook, which sinuous
rolled
Down the old mountain like snake,
And all night long, with steadfast
glow,
The stars IN heaven lay awake
To watch the listless earth below.
And stealthily mid slum brous air,
Der sharp pine needles strewn with
cones,
The dusk went tip toe, here and there,
While sweeping through the vistas round
A soft voiced zephyr seemed to bring
Fine chords of crisp. uncanny sound
That almost made the silence sing.
Each tree was tranced in perfect calm,
Dumb worshippers at Druid shIines,
Willis natures censor scattered balm,
Fresh incense from the living Iiues;
Each peak statue stood, at rest.
Transfgnred by the ghos,ly moon,
The wild bird lay within his nest
And all the worla was in a swoon.
Above a mass of jagged rock,
That stamped q shadow on the sky,
A hemlock, smote by lightning shook,
Dead, blanched and grim, rose far on
high;
And suddenly across the spell
Where midnight in this vastness
dreamed,
Like some dr. cad echo out of hell.
Deep in the woods panther screamed.

STORIES Of
SENATORS VOORHEES,, VEST
AND PETER

"Speaking Of Vest, it might be said
that he easily bears off the rain as the
best off-hand speaker of the senate list.
No one can approach him. Especially
is this true, it, 40 frequently tho case,
his temper is aroused and the affair in
hand has personal flavor. He is quick
as flash. sour as lime and keen as a
knife. I've heard Vest talk an hour by
the senate clock, and his speech, entirely
off hand, would be classic in sarcasm.
Addison never wrote purer English than
Vest will talk; Junius was never more
trenchant.
Yet, for all his genius-and he has
with it, too, a sort of peevish courage, of
itself rather respectable - Vest has no
weight with the senate. No one has faith
in him. The uncertainty OF Vest is q
senate by-word.
I'm this repute for being shifty and
unstable Vest is directly in contrast with
/ Cockroll. his colleague. There ism It man
in the senate but will take Cockrell's
statement in or out of the senate, as alb
solutely and fully true. lie has a UNIQUE
reputation in that behalf. He never for
gets and he's very careful. He's sure OF
bis facts before he makes an assertion.
During the twenty years he has been
in the senate no one ever found him IN a
misstatement.5 And today all over the
senate Cockrell's word is at absoiuteipal
and legal tender with all.
'Cockrell is not bright and imaginative
| like Vest, can't make the speech Yes
| does. But he is man of rireless indus
try, much common, hard sense and in
vincioe courage. This makes MIN val
| liable man.

THE MORGAN OYSTER co.
Golden Eagle Market, Nos. 329.333 S,
Main Street
The Splendid New Place Of Business That
VIII Be Opened for Trade This,
Tuesday, rorning

For many weeks the public has watch
ed with interest the building and equip
ment of the superb market building of
The Morgan Oyster com pany on Main
street. Today the building is complete
in all of it's details, and the many old
time patrons of the firm are invited to
the new location. The house will con
tinue to handle tile same specialties as
heretofore and, in addition, full and
complete line Of game of all kinds in
season.
This we'll known firm needs no new in-
PRODUCTION to the public OF Lo.:Angelos
For many years it mas enjoyed liberal
patronage here, and has attracted to 1t
the PATRONAGE of the leading retailers OF
Southern California az we'll as the trade
of this city. Its retail department has
always been maintained at the highest
standard and has always received the
patronage of the public. All Kinds OF
fish, game, poultry, and oysters are con-
stantly on hand aud the stock is renewed
each day. fresh from the ocean fisheries
controlled by the house.
In the oyster line this house has long
enjoyed an enviable reputation. Its
famous Eagle brand, in cans, clearly has
the call upon tho best trade of the south
ern part Of the state This brand is
always on hand at the house, and is
never allowed to become exhausted.
A description of the new place of bust.
ness would be q matter of interest to the
public as we'll as a matter of pleasure to
the Herald, but this will be deferred for a
few days. 1t is sufficient to say now that
every accessory which has been proven
to subserve either the comfort and con-
venience OF customers, or to facilitate
the handling and preservation OF the per-
isnahle goods offered for sale, has been
supplied. The fixtures of the house are
Of metal and marble throughout. and
are OF unique and attractive design. The
huge cooler is store house of the rnrest
delicaoies to be found in any metropoli-
tan market in the country. These ap-
planes are all the result of the foresie It
and sagacity of the manager OF the
house. Mr.. o. G. Morgan. The local IN
| stitution is a branch of the San Francisco
| house, of che same name. which has had
the mand of tho fish and game trade
| of the Pacific coast for thirty years.
Mr.. I. G. Curtis, who has been with
| the local house during all the long time
| which it has been located in thi, city,
continues in his old position. The
growth and progress of The Morgan
Oyster company in this city is due, in
no small degree, to the well directed
efforts which Mr.. Curtiss has exeried in
its behalf. He is gentleman of wide
acqua ntancs, esteemed alike for his
many excellancies of mind and heart.
