A Country Road,

One day through the primeyal wood,
a calf walked home as good calves should;
But made "a trail all bent askew
A crooked trail, rs all calves do
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And, infer, the calf is dead,
But still he left behind his TRAIL
And thereby hangs mortal tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By n lone dog that passed that way,
And then wise bell wcther sheep
Pursued the trail. DER vale and steep
And drew the flock behind him, too,
As good bel-wethcrs always do.
Aud from that day, DER hill and glade
Through those old woods path was made,
And many men wound in and ont,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath,
because twas such a crooked path,
But -tili they folowed-do not laugh
The first migration OF that calf
Which through this winding wood way stake,
Because he wabbed when he walked
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned again.
This crooked lane became Il road
Where many poor horse, with his load,
Toilcd on beneath the burning sun,
And Travelled some three miles in one;
Aud thus century and n half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on In swiftness fleet.
The road became village street,
And this before the men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis

An expedition was organized OF 4,070
volunteers. one-third of them from the
District Of Mdine-and commanded by a
Maine man, William Pepperell, OF Kit
terry. a better choice for commander
could not have been made. He had no
military training, was simply a rich and
accomplished merchant, with keen un-
derstanding OF men and natural spirit
OF command, with a heart that knew no
fear and looked for no failure.
The Rev. Mr.. Whitfield cautioned him
that Il he failed the blood of the slain
would be laid to his charge; if successful,
the envy Of tine living would pursue him.
The colonies beyond New England did
nothing toward the expedition. New
| York sent few cannon and Pennsyl-
vania promised some stores and clothing

Maine, belong the credit and the honor
of the first capture OF Lousburg.

"Fortune favors the brave" Every

Louisburg. 1t landed over on the rough
shores of Gabarus bay, some four miles
west of the fort, on the first day OF May,

front of the works, and at two points
across the harbor, the attacking party
kept up a determined siege Of lombard
ment until the great fortress yielded on
June 17-forty-seven days from the land
ing OF the colonists. In that siege the
number Of slain was not great, and the
rejoicing III Boston and all over New Eng
land WAS unbounded. In Old England
the gadness that the news produced, in a
time OF gloom and disastrous vars was
no greater than the amazement.
After the fort was safely i'll the hands
of the coOnsts, the English flag was
hauled down and French flag kept SGT
for some time in order to deceive any
French ships that might be making the
port. The ruse was remarkably successful
leading to the easy entrapping Of ships

leading gold producers Of the state of
Idaho in which, according to Mr.
Cranes idea, there are more good gold
mines to the square mile than are to be
found in any other country in the west.
The mine, which is equipped with q
ten-stamp mill, was successfully
worked during the past season, the
output of the property for this year be-
ing in the neighborhood of ST, coo. most
Of which has been put back into the
mine in the pushing of thorough devel-
opment, so that now the property is
able to show up fine ore reserves, the
gold contents of which viii average
about So to the ton, besides a few
ounces in silver.
Work at the mine and mill has been
closed down for the winter on account
Of the difficulty of operating the mill
during the cold weather, as the plant is
worked by water power and the streams
are now freezing up. In the spring,
with more activity than ever and it is
expected that before the close of an
other season the mine viii be listed
with the other dividend payers of the
state OF Idaho.
Mr.. Crane is also interested in other
valuable gold mines throughout the
west, and with the clientege he is able
TO boast of, it is not unlikely that he
will be successful in swinging several
more big deals before spring.

tence of court martial as follows:
'I}y order of the president. the find
ings, proceedings. and sentence in the
case of Captain Leonard a. Lowering,

however, disappointing that an offense
so grave and an example so far-reach-
ing as this should be visited with so
light a penalty. There is no question
but private Hammond deserved pun
ishment for his conduct. but he should
have received it in a lawful way.
The military laws governing the
army are explicit. They prescribe the
duties of officers and enlisted men with
der them both have rights and oblga-
tons When. therefore an officer with
the intelligence and experience with
which Captain Lowering IS credited,
not only violates these laws but ex-
hibits such lack of humanity as is
shown in this case, he should receive
a more severe sentence than a mere
reprimand. Committing such acts de-
grade the officer more than the soldier
he Furnishes. and shows mftness for
the care and command of men. IN
der excitement, men frequently do
things which in sober moments they
recall with sorrow and regret. but this
case is aggravated by the fact that.

evinces no regret for his wrongful

Ed Mace was arrested yesterday by
Officer Seigfus on a charge of house
breaking. 1t is alleged that Mace en-
tered the room occupied by q. c. Whit
taker, in the Templeton house, on
of November. While there he took
some clothing belonging to Whitaker
and it was on the charge of stealing
these articles that he was arrested.
Late Sunday night Officer Seigfus. who
had been working on the case, took
Mace to the station on suspicion of
having stolen the goods. But Whitaker
could not be found at the time, and
Mace was released on promising to APP
pear at the station yesterday morning.
Mace appeared as he promised, and
Whitaker was also present, and upon
examination he identified the shirt that
Mace was wearing as one of those that
had been stolen from his room. Mace
was therefore locked up to answer to
the charge of house breaking.
