How dear the memories agone
As now we scan the tieetiny wears:
Ten lustrums freighted with the wealth
vi sunny smiles and chastcned tears!
And bright that morn we hoisted sail
To voyage DOR the sea of Love;
The breeze was fresh, the offing clear,
And fair the bcaming skies above.
Nv.
While yet our gentle bark had sailed
A lew sweet months the blue seas DER
There came squa)l one day, and then
We shipped another little Moorei
Thus alternate we held our course,
Fast frowning rocks and leeward shores
Now shipping fierce tumultuous waves
And then more noisy little Moores
With topsail, jib and spanke- set,
o then what spanking times we had!
To hold In check the lassie's feet
And guide Alright the little lad.
Not always have the seas been smooth
And winds pr0pitious for us blown;
But tickle as her name implies
Dame Fortune hath her visage shown.
VIII.
Far oft at mid sea, cold and black,
Through dark and sQually nights we've
gone,
Until at last all spent with toll
We" doused the giim" at smiling dawn
TX.
Now Gloria in erceisis Dec!
For he will lead us to the end;
His grace will full sufYce for us
Aud ev'ry earthly i'll forefend.
Y.
Thus when we reach the shores of time
Where life grows dreary, sad and dark,
Wen anchor from the weather bow
And moor for age our weary bark.
With kindliest wishes.

A. J. West, an Aberdeen millman,
had narrow escape from death last
week at Hoquiam. In passing through
the f. X. Wood mill he attempted to
pass under 24-inch belt, and in doing
so stepped upon the lower half of the
belt, which was running close to the
floor. The power of the running belt
threw him with such force as to render
him unconscious, severely bruising his
face. When found he was still I'M
conscious, and the belt was slowly
drawing him toward the small pulley.

Mrs. Anna Jones, mother of Mrs. NJ.
Hoke, died at the family residence in
this city Monday morning, at the age
of 70 years. She had been confined to
her room fortnight by congestion of
the liver, but until a few hours before
her death no thought of danger of a
fatal termination was entertained.
Mrs. J. was born in England. She
came to this city in 1893, with her
son-in-law. She was the mother of
eleven children, seven of whom sur
vive. The inconsistencies were held
Tuesday afternoon, at l 80 o'clock in
st. Johns church, and the body was
taken to Tacoma for burial.
While the performance of the South
Before the War Co., at Olympia Thea
ter, last evening, met all reasonable
expectations, it by no means ranked
with Cleveland's Ministries of years
gone by, except in numbers. The
house was top-heavy" from the fact
that the company had been playing
the second-grade circuit at low prices,
and here insisted in full price on the
lower floor. The management likewise
cut expenses, notwithstanding a liber-
al patronage, and the cinematograph
pictures promised were not exhibited,
simply because it might involve little
additional labor and expense. Such
details are never neglected by truly
first-class companies who play on the
circuit with which Olympia Theater
is connected.
