ADIEU A LITTLE WHILE.
BY E. NEwLIN STOUT.


Adieu. my darling sweetheart dear,
Adieu a little while!
Come, cheer thee up nor shed a tear,
But let me see thee smile.
1t is decreed by fortunes god
That from thee must sever:
Bnt while m> heads above the sod
Will l forget thee-neVer!
All. never-nO! though seas between
Should roar with ~deatning sound;
For by loves cord to thee, my queen,
My hearts securely bound!
That cOrd rhyself alone can break,
Then do OF be so sad;
But smile once more if for my sake
Twill make my heart 5 } glad!
Then let not care thy pleasure mar,
Nor give tiny bOS-m pain,
! 20 away but It's not far
And Will come back again.
When on Atlantic's golden shore
| sit to take my st.
Ny mind vii turn to thee OnCe more;
Because l love thee best.
And when like birds of swiftest flight
My spirit CleaVeS the ethereal air,
il wal out soar to thee, then light.
And closely nestle there.
For heavens composed of pUrest love
OF love ard love alone.
And heaCe my heavens near Il ee my dove
And thou siU'SU on the throne.

ORANGE EXTRACT.
To make simple orange extract pare
the white pIth from Valencia orange
peel Any sweet red skinned Mediter-
ranean fruit will do, but the skin of
Florida oranges or any West Indian
port fruit Is too bitter and fl 4vorless.
Fill a quart bottle with the yellow
orange peel and cover it with the al
c0h0I. Let it stand in a warm cup
board, and shake it once in awhile. At
the end of SIX months strain the liquor
cff it and bottle 1t for use. Lemon ex

A VISITOR OF NOTE.
Phoenix Inspected by Prominent
 Eastern Railroader.

Marshall M. Kirkman, second vice president of the Chicago & Northwest ern railway, arrived Sunday from the north, coming in his private car ac- companied by his wife, son and two daughters.
 MT. Kirkman is one of the best known men of the railroad profession in America, being regarded as one of the best posted on all matters refer ring to the finance of transportation. His department in Chicago is that of financing the road, having lately been raised to his position from that of treasurer and comptroller of the line, which embraces over 5000 miles of track and a most superb equipment
 From such a man it lis therefore doubly gratifying that his trip down the Santa Fe line from Ash Fork was declared one of the eventful trips of his life. ''It's a grand road" said he to reporter yesterday. q don't be- lieve for a side road it has superior in the United States. Not only is it we'll constructed and its rolling stock of the highest class, but for scenery it beats anything I have seen for years. The horseshoe bend above Prescott is worth going across the continent to see."
 MT. Kirkman had much more to say relative to the benefit that the con- struction of the road from the north had been for Phoenix. "You see, D said he, ''that most of our Chicago people go west over the Santa Fe, and if there was not a direct connection with that line, your city would be

CAL HAMILTON HAMILTON DEAD.
rhs We'll Haewn wrIssr Passss Away a
n Her Home In Massachusetts.

HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. 18-Miss Mary
Abigail Dodge (Gail HamiltOn) Is dead.
The cause Of her death was a paralytio
shook. This was the second shock from
which she had suffered, the first having
occurred about a year ago, and from whloh
she had apparently fully recovered.
Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, writer, biog-
rapher and controversialist, widely known
under the pen name Of Gail Hamilton, was
q native Of the town In which she died,
having been born here In 1880.

Our Young Folks, q magazine for chill
dFen, published In Boston. From 1870 un-
I'll o little over year ago ahs had lived
most OF tho tlme with her cousin, Mrs.
James G. Blaine, In Washington. In
course Of this daily contact with the
Blaine family Miss Hamilton was led into
q very close friendship with Mr.. Blaine,
and at the death of the latter she became
his literary executor, being In possession
Of all his papers and documents Of value
to her as his authorized biographer. She
was engaged, as frequently as her health
would permit, on Mr.. Blaine's biography
from the time Of his death until her i'll
nass Of last year, and, it Is thought, her un-
titing devotion 10 the work was instru-
AhontnA III p1ahBtuk auout bu4b pfOotfh-
tion.
Gail Hamilton was frequent contribu-
tor to prominent magazines. and her pub
dshed works, written In a witty and ag-
gressiye style, consist largely Of selections
from her contributions. Her books include
