GENE FIELD.

The fact of the entering of the daughter of the late Eugene Field upon the work of public reader, says the Gallup Cleaner, will call to mind the genius of her father, and especially the lines which our own poet scout, Capt. Jack Crawford, wrote at the time of Fields death and published in the col umns of the Times-Herald.
 GENE FIELD. Goodbye, sweet poet, pard of mine; We know that all of Gods sunshine, Just loaned by him and scattered here In every home and heart and sphere, Will keep your memory ever green, And every child will bless Eugene. For every bit of rhyme that filled The childish heart with glee and thrilled Pathetic souls of boys and girls Will live and shine as purest pearls Tn crown of flowers and wreaths of love; And if dear Gene, from up above. s Your eyes can look upon the scene When summer blooms and fields are green Your honest soul will dance know To sec the children here below, With flowers in blossom bud and bloom. And wreaths entwined around your tomb. Oh, poet pard. departed friend, When faith and love of children blend To honor poets such as you and if when Gabriel blows for all, The rich and poor, the great and small You chance to see amid the thrane 1 The WI ter ef this simple song i Climbing the steps of Zion's Hill Just help me upward if you win, l And I'll be happy taking turns Scouting for you aud Bobby Burns

Lost His Trunk.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l


 Charles P. Mason, the young legisla- tor from Pinal county, intended to leave on yesterday mornings train for San Francisco, thence to Honolulu. When be arrived at the depot he found that his trip would have to be tempora- rily postponed, as a consnmptive gen tlemau who left the evening before had checked Mason's trunk to Columbus, Ohio, instead of his own. Mason is rather stout, and when he learned that the gentleman who was speeding east ward with his trunk was slight, att tenuated individual, Charley shook his head dubionsly. He was thinking that perhaps the clothes in the trunk that was left would fit him, but the deserip- tion of the man blasted all hopes in that direction. He telegraphed to Winslow to have the unconscious thief stopped and his own trunk sent back so Ash Fork, where he will go on to meet it this morning.

THE HEATHEN

The heather in his folly eats anything
that's good,
He doesn't try to choose the food that
science says he should:
He dies, gray-haired and weary, at
four-scOre years and ten,
And what most sorely vexes him is
that he can't eat then.
Keep away from pickles, keep away
from spice,
Keep away from cabbage, cornfield
peas and rice.
Never eat a thing that's sweet, and
always eat it cold,
And thus you'll save your intellect
from growing stale and old.
The heather has three meals a day
and sometimes one at night,
He thinks his early breakfast to be his
Unborn right;
He rises in the morning and hears his
hunger call
He never heard that science proves it
isn't there at all.
Keep away from breakfast, keep
away from tea,
Keep away from lunches, wherever
they may be.
Never let your midday meal be either
large or rich,
And every morsel you may take, be
careful which is which.
The heather drinks the water tina,
bubbles from the spring,
He thinks that if it slakes his thirst
it is the very thing;
He'll kiss his sweetheart on the lips
instead of on the chin,
And not suspect that he commits a
scientific sin.
Keep away from pollywogs, angle
worms and flies,
Keep away from insects of every sort
and size.
Never breathe a microbe in unless
you cough him out,
For he may have the chicken-pox,
the measels and the goute.
The heather fills his system with
deadly drugs and weeds,
He works until he's tired and rests
more than he needs;
He sets his brain in action when it
should be in repose,
And then he adds dyspepsia to his
many other woes.
Keep away from appetite, keep away
from thirst
These of all the foes on earth to
science are the worst,
Keep away from exercise, keep away
from thought,
And you will live until you die, if
you're not sooner caught.
Norfolk (Va.) Landmark.

THE NEGRO AND THE MACHINE.

A Georgia man who had made fly
ing machine offered a negro $40 to
make trial trip in it.
The negro agreed, got in position
and he and the machine were hoisted
by block and tackle about 80 feet from
terra frma.
When the rope was loosened the
machine took sudden slanting course
toward earth and plunged into an
adjacent mill pond.
1t disappeared with the negro be-
meath the water, while the terrified
inventor stood shrieking for assis-
lance.
Presently the negro's head bobbed
up serenely, and he struck out for
dry land. On arriving his first splut-
tered words were:-
In de name of God, Marse John,
why didn't you tell dat fool thing
whar ter ght?''-Atlanta Constitu-

TURNING OF THE WORM
A Victims Protest Against One of the
Ice Mans EXtortions.

The driver of the ice wagon was
surprised to see the occupant of the
house sitting on the front doorstep as
he drove up. AS soon as the wagon
stopped the householder was at the
curbstone with his eyes fixed on the
scales. The ice man paid no attention
to him, but after weighing a small
chunk, started toward the house with
it.
Hold on!" said the customer. III

"'You needn't bother
But | know just where to put it,
''All right. But you want to be quick
for it's a warm day, and Well have to
deliver the stuff in sponges if we let
it stay out in sun much longer"
The customer seized the tongs and
disappeared In a little while he came
out of the house, and, seating himself
on the doorsteps, began to whistle.
We'll! WE'LL" shouted the ice man.
81 can't stay her till next winter
Are you waiting for something's
inquired the customer, blandly.
"Of course, I'm waiting for some
thing. I want my longs"
What tongs?"
"The tongs you just used to carry
the ice in
ooh! I'm sorry; but I don't care to
lend them"

PODUNK.

I'm going back to Podunk.
Back to my home once more:
Where the climbing roses blossom
In the spring around my door.
Where the air is calm and peaceful
And where, We all agree,
We're happy and contented-
Contented as can be.
Perhaps you'd think that Podunk
Was slow and tiresome, too
And | know we don't rush around
Like city people do.
But, for all that, I'm thinking,
They're poorer off than we:
For we are all contented-
Contented as can be.
The birds sing sweet in Podunk.
The skies are blue above;
There's beauty in the mountains,
And verdant mead and grove.
About their tasks each morning
The people go with glee;
They're all of them contented-
Contented as can be.
When fall the shades of evening,
And, on the distant hill.
The golden sunlight fingers
And all the air grows still.
Its last leans fall on faces
From care and sorrow free
On faces just contented-
Contented as can be.
I've heard of your altruists.
And how they hope to found
Some place where all is equal
And love, not strife, abounds:
Just let them come to Podunk
And look around; they'll see
A people that's contented-
Contented as can be.
There's no one rich in Podunk,
There's no one very poor;
The poorest have a plenty,
The richest not much more.
1t may be other places
Put on more airs than we;
But were happy and contented-
Contented as can be.
