look upon thy happy face
Dear child with those undarkened eyes
Like glimpses OF transparent skies
And dream of things which have no place
In that Tmall, golden head Of thine;
Things that no ten-year-old has yet
Dared in his roguish wit to set
To thought, or word, or rhythmic line.
And it is better So 1 think,
Better the child should be child.
That he should grow as glad and wild
AS flowers upon rivers brink.
Laugh, then, and romp, and kiss the sun.
And be as If this ancient earth
Were the resting place of mirth
Since time was born ard Joy begun.
Laugh, and I'll be child with thee,
Forgetful of the days which fly,
(Forgetful of the nights which die,
And slipping sweetness like the bee.
For, oh! remember, little sir,
childhood is but passing spring,
Ltath to await the burgeoning
or summer and its fiery stir.
ButIno, my dreams viii not be stilled;
cannot turn the long years back,
And life for me has plowed It's track;
The man must be the man, as willed;
Not dreams, warn thee, such as they
Our lanGuid poets make,
Nor such as many love to wake
From fable or the Grecian lay;
But dreams of an aspiring soul,
That yearns with all It's human might
To steal the secrets Of the night,
Totreach some high, mllenial goal
Here, at this hour, view the sweep
yOf vast century to it's close,
iSublime In its titanic throes,
And in its plummet ocean-deep-
A century thrilled from start to end
With fearless striving, fearless hope,
Whose larger miro and wider scope
In one eternal progress tend.
Yet thine will be the lof.ier tread,
And thine will be the swifter pace;
When thou shalt be as /, the race
Will scorn the marvels OF the dead.
All! thou shalt look so clear, so.far
That all | wonder at will seem
Like the first mistings of dream
Which GGwns into perfect star

OF his birth at his home in Mt. Sterling. Among
those who gathered at his home to wish him

OF Appeals for sixteen years. and was then re-
tired on account OF his age. In an Interview he
said, in speaking of his age and his health:
IL was an invalid when | can first remember.

PROTECTION OF FRUIT TREES

R. H. Price gives a method of pro- tecting fruit trees from ravages of rab- bits, etc., that would certainly appear practical and efficient one, since he has saved one large orchard by the treatment, while others have used it with great success. A gallon of com mon white lead paint of the ordinary thickness to be used on buildings is taken, and to it is added one table spoonful of paris green. The two are well mixed together, after which the dirt is removed for an inch or so around the base of the tree, and a good coating of paint applied to a height of eighteen inches on the trunk. A rabbit comes along, gnaws off a piece of the bark and dies. Insects, particularly borers, attempt to drill through the painted wood and die. The average cost of this treatment for each tree is estimated at one and one half cents. AS they require painting over only every two years the process is comparatively inexpensive

LUCK IN MINING.

I could have owned half of the En- terprise mine at Rico for $200 if a tele gram from Denver had not announced the decision of the doctors to use the knife on my baby boy for hernia. lost more than $1,OO0,OOO, but I.stopped the knife and my boy is healthy and rugged.
 These were the words of a gentleman seated with group of prospectors a few evenings ago, which led up to a number of stories relating to similar incidents, says the Durango Demo- crat.
 I know a man more fortunate than myself, however, who grasped his op- portunity, continued the speaker. Dave Brown of Aspen gave a prospec- tor $75 worth of lumber and one-fourth of the Aspen mine. Brown was then a stock clerk. He is now million aire, banker and operator.
 It is not always management that secures fortune, ventured another of the group. It was luck, pure and sim pie, that made Dick Swickheimer a millionaire lie knew nothing about mining, but miner told him to sink and he did sink. He ran out of money several times but others, who were interested in learning what greater depths he would encounter on Dolores mountain, loaned various sums, and at last lucky lottery ticket drew s4,- 900 and this money reached the ore in the Enterprise mine.
 Yes, luck has great deal to do with it, said the third speaker. Several people in Durango had an opportunity a few years ago to get into the COlum- bus mine in La Platte for a few dol lars when the Dutchman who located it owned it. I knew one Durango man who had a good chance to buy the mine for less than $500 the price received, who had spent twice as much in trying to find something like the Columbus.
 Chances like these are often over- looked in Durango, said another of the group. There was a little fellow down there from McQuiety a couple of years ago showing some good look ing ore from a claim which he offered to trade quarter of for a rifle anG the kind of gun he wanted was selling

MINING NOTES.

A deed was filed for record at Pres colt from Jesse Davis to Joseph w. Wilson and Joseph Mayer for one claims, one-eighth interest in three and one-twelfth interest in two, the con- sideration being $10,000.
 Water sells for $50 per barrel at the Randsburg mines
 MT. Pritchard Morgan, M F., has left London for China, via the United States, accompanied by a number of mining experts. He was the discov- erer of the gold mines in North Wales, and from the fact that he was in close touch with Lii Hung Chang during the latter's visit to England, it is thought that MT. Pritchard's mission to China is to prospect for gold.
 The price paid by MT. Louis Nicolai of Portland, Oregon, for the Horrible and Mexican mines in Berners Bay, Alaska, was S90,000. The lodges are exposed by croppings for 1,S0O feet, and the values range from $8 to $63 per ton. The ore is free milling and Mr. Nicolai is now having twenty stamp mill framed on the Sound, which will be erected next spring. Henry J. Davis, who has spent ten years on the Yukon river, was re- cent arrival at Juneau, Alaska. He crossed the Chilcoot pass in 1886 and has remained continuously on the Yu- kon since. He reports that about 1900 persons will winter at Circle City, and he fears that the supply of bacon will fall short as the last consignment of | 13O tons spoiled on the trip up the river.
