The Aenostic Style OF Counting.

from the Times Herald
voiccless earth is the grave OF the fair;
Seasons ny till mans enemy, age,
Slayeth JOY with a burden OF care.
Wherefore. then, let nioralist- rage?
Who shall heed their obnoxious alarms
While his love lieth fast in his armsf
Past the shadowy mists at the end,
Where oblivion menaces, fate
May restore us 10 sweetheart and friend;
But my soul lacketh faith. Let us date
Something precious on memory page
In this hour which we steal from old age.
Since Il may be this life is the sum
OF existence for you and for me,
Let us haste. ere the darkness To come
Shall engulf us. as ships IN the sea;
Let the seers seek the spirit divine
And do thou, in thy beauty, be mine.

Lothrop is headquarters for the Mime
sofa Logging Company; also for the
Brainerd and Northern Railroad, so far
as the business at this end is concerned.
In consequence of this some 1000 men
either get their time checks or are paid
in cash every month at this place. The
men who work through the season at the
lumber camps are only paid when the
camps break up in the spring. AS the
time has almost come to cease cutting
logs and those who have been awaiting
their opportunity to take in the hard
earned money of the Lumber Jacks"
knew that within the next two or three
weeks many thousands of dollars would
be paid them. A large number of pro-
fessional gamblers were on the scene
ready to reap what they expected would
be very bountiful harvest. Great SUR
PRISE however, took pos session of the
whole party when Deputy Sheriff Nc

would all be placed under arrest. A more

this station. Some 40 or so gamblers,
with outfits such as they carry with
them, have already left, and more will

only explanation can find is that the

.Whatever the outcome, trust that the
idea of Justice to Spain will prevail. Even
though war should come between Spain
and the United States, and even were it
possible that as a result the Spanish ma
ton should be wiped from the face OF the
earth, still the name Of Spain would never
be forgotten, but would go down through
history reyered and respected as long as
there were such a place as America with
benign shadow of Columbus upon it. do
not believe that even the American senate
have forgotten in the excitement Of the
