INDEBTEDNESS.
A borrower am along life's wav,

A borrower am I along life's way,
Ever in debt to time and circumstances
in turmoil's din and mid the concourse gay
And when In pensive mood aside stray,
This Is recalled oft to my remembrance.
OF time borrow every passing hour
And largely draw from health's upspringing
fount.
From myriad minds Gull rich thoughts that
shower,
And to true Love, in her sequestered bower,
am indebted by long account.
The morning salutation by the way,
The garlands placed beside the bed Of pain,
Tho silent hand grasp. when celestial day
First dawns to those whose steps we fain would
stay,
Arc lent. to be returned in kind again.
Only by store Of wealth within my brain,
BY heart OF love, by muscles ardent force,
Enlightening error, soothing woe and pain,
Thus may hope my freedom to regain
And walk with Love upon her fowery course.
Arthur Howard Hall in Elmira Telegram.

said that Charlie Locust and jeff Davis
came to him Tuesday night and told him
that if he could get a doorknob they could
do good job and would divide with
him.
Stokes found the doorknob, and going
down to Dewberry's place turned it over
to Locust, who was a sort of hanger on
there. Locust knew where Mr.. Dewberry
kept his money. He also knew that in
had adopted the plan of pulling out the
knob and carrying it in his pocket. This
was why they asked Stokes to get them
a doorknob.

gave Stokes a handful of small change,
amounting to $n.50. This was how he

money on him when arrestedn by Detective

detectives went out and arrested Locust
and Davis. Both denied any know
