The Sleeping of the Wind.

The great red moon was winging
Allow in the purple east;
The robins had ceased from singing;
The noise of the day had ceased;
The golden sunset islands
Had faded into the sky,
And warm from the sea of silence
a wind Of. sleep came by.
IT came so balmy and resting
That the treetop breathed kiss.
And drowsy wood-bird nesting,
Chirped a wee note of bliss;
1t stole over fragrant thickets
AS oft as an owl could fly,
And whispered to tiny crickets
The words of lullaby.
Then slowly the purple darkened
The whispering trees were still.
And the hush of the WOODLAND hardened
To a crying whip-poor-will;
And the moon grew whittier, and by it
The shadows lay dark and deep;
But the fields were empty and quiet,
, For the wind had fallen asleep

al Bank Of Butte was put into question
in an action began by Mrs. Elizabeth s.
Bowdin, of Springfield, Mass. sister Of
the late Andrew J. Davis, multi-million-
aires Young Davis claimed this stock
under the alleged death bed gift from his
uncle. The suit brought to recover it
was decided in favor Of Davis by the dis
trict and supreme court. Mrs. Bowdin
has filed petition to carry the case to
the supreme court Of the United States

that the federal banking law allows
transfers of bank stock according to the
bylaws of the bank, and that the laws OF
the First National Bank provided that
the transfers should be made only on the
book in writing. She says that she asked
that the administrator, Leyson, to allow

Why weepest thou so sore?
With garden fair and sunlight free,
And flowers in goodly store!'
But he only turned away from me
And burst into roar. 80.

Soft, fuzzy fur-a joy to view
Once kept my body warm!

In rage and anguish high,
