~ ieet grew eager my eyes grew wide,
An0 ! was OF by the brown brooks side.
fsvwn N the swamp bottom, cool and dim
eo' me an alder sapling slim.
Win nimble fingers tied my line.
Uisaa as sunbeam, strong and fine.
ny was tiny, glittering thing,
wan uhseled body and partridge wing.
Wtth nolseless step l threaded the wood.
yMu OF the sun-pierced solitude,
Casuered the kingtisher, fierce and shy,
A. nhe shadow drlfted by.
Lufked In their watery lairs the trout,
But, silver and scarlet, lured them out,
WIy We're they. but warier still

A Tronbl l-.on,r Item.

The books of the United States treas
ury still carry an item of $10O0,0O0
which represents United States notes
which are supposed to have been con-
suped in the great CHICAGO fire twcn-
ty-five years ago. 1t is known that
there was $1,GO0,OOO of currency, more
or less, in the vaults of the sub-treasury
there and that none OF 1t was recovered.
but the denomination of these notes and
the exact amount Is unknown, as the
books of the cashier were consumed
also. There could not have been, how
ever. very many dollars less or very
many dollars more than $1,0OO,O00 and
it would simplify the accounts Of the
treasury and save a great deal OF labor
to the bookkeepers II Congress should
pass bill or resolution recognizing the
fact that the money is no longer In eN-
istence. for every day when the cashier
of the treasury balances his accounts
he has to include this item, deducting it
or adding It as the case may b., fr III
the amount in hand. 1t appears upon
every daily. weekly. monthly and yearly
statement of the assets and liabilities
of the government as unknown de-
stroyed United States notes. $1,000. 600. -
The bookkeepers say they are used to
1t. however. II is no longer an incubus,
and they would probably feel lonesome
without it.
The Meeker herald., 1896-05-23
The Colunlbine. g.

The special associations which this
plant has with our country are as hap
py as they are unique. Its very name
suggests Columbia. Nor is it any triv-
ial play upon words. but similarity
of the remarkable significance. AS is
well known. the name Columbus In his
native language means dove, Il circum-
stance of poetical suggestiveness on re-
calling how he. like Noahs messenger
of old. brought back tidings of n new
found world. Moreover. 1t is familiar
