Really Remarkable.

II haven't seen him in long time, and
of course l don't know much about him
as a man, but as boy-a college boy-hC
was one of the most wonderful and re-
markable persons it was ever my fortune
to meet"
What was there so remarkable about
him?'
We'll, he didn't know anything at all
about poker"
"a little unusual in a college youth, but
l shouldn't call it so very remarkable. I've
known others who didn't know anything
at all about poker"
$50 have l, but this boy not only didn't
know anything about the game, but he
knew that he didn't know anything about
it. That was the extraordinary feature OF
it, Most of them think they know it all. u

PASSING OF THE WILD WEST.

No more the wild fire fieTcely leaps
Across the trackless plains.
The eastern pie belt wider creeps
And holds its sodden gains.
Through wilds where once in salted mines
pelyed tenderfeet elate
The hobo waits by two track lines
To catch the east bound freight.
The unshod mustang, 1.-the and thin,
That bore the savage chief,
Is corralled, slaughtered, put in tin
And sold as canned corn beef.
Now in the haunts of buffalo
The traction engine raves.
All kinds Of garden sass they grow
Above old Injun graves.
The horse thief of another day,
Who, unhung, piled his trade,
Now swipes and scorches swift away
The bikes Of highest grade.
The rough saloons, where not to drink
Invoked the bullets whiZ,
Are marbled drug stores where the wink
Precedes the soda's fizZ.
No more the "prairie schooners" drift
Across the alkali,
For now the horseless carriage swift
Goes wishing, swishing by.
No old tar bucket at its stern
Or yaller dOrg IS seen.
Instead a motors cogwheels turn
Mid smells Of gasoline.
Where once the redskin to the death
Fought pioneer and scout
The Swede, with alcoholic breath,
Sets rows of cabbage out
And now the "norther's" icy squall
HOwls loud, but vainly storms.
The blanket mortgage over all
With treble thickness warns.
All, brave, wild west that we in youth
Used with romance to link!
Alas, it's truth you're now, in sooth,
Completely on the dinkl

The jury in the case of Sam Davis,

1T WAS A SUCCESS.
The Ladies Did Well, and Were
Literally Patronized.

The ladies of the Needlework Guild
and those who responded to their invi-
tation for assistance had a great day of
it yesterday at the Nonpareil Store. The
store had been turned over by Was
serman Davis e Co. to the ladies, the
latter to fill all the positions and sell
all the goods possible, a liberal portion
of the proceeds to go to the Guild to aid
in it's charitable work.
The scheme proved a most popular
one Bright and early the ladies were
all at their posts of duty, and early in
the forenoon the rush began. All day
long the store was crowded with pur-
chasers, and the new clerks and floor
walkers were kept on the jump, as II
We're to wait on customers.
And they got along very smoothly, too,
though by 6 O'Clock, when the store
closed. they were all weary and willing
to 20 home and rest.
The flair was a great success. Messrs.
Wasserman, Davis & Co. say 1T greatly
exceeded their expectations, and they
did not hesitate to state that the result
will be a great financial help to the

AID THE SCHOOL.
Entertainment and Dance in Cold
berg District.

Marked improvement is noted in the
educational institutions Of the county
this year, and especially in the subur-
ban districts. Oak Park has doubled
its school house capacity, and a new
two-room building has been erected in
Goldberg district, Immediately joining
Oak Park on the south and east.
Credit is due the Trustees of the lat
ter district, Messrs. E. Greer, NJ. Keefe
and NJ. Brooke, for the businesslfke
methods they have pursued in handling
the money raised by special tax. They
have erected a fine two-room building
with the funds, originally intended for
a one-room building. Accordingly they
find they are short of money to meet
the requirements incidental to the fur
nishing and full equipment Of the
school.
The teachers, Mrs. Hetty A. Dunn
and Miss Ella Klotz, have interested
themselves in the matter, and have ar
ranged for an entertainment and dance
in the new building on Saturday even
ing, the 9th instant. The best musical
and elocutfonary talent in the city mas
kindly been offered, and an entertain
ment of very high order is looked for.
Dancing will follow, with music by Pro-
fessors Lindermeyer, Hand and Fisch,
which is a guarantee that the dancers
will be well provided for. The price OF
admission to both the entertainment
and dance has been fixed at 5O cents
per couple.
Those desiring to attend from the city
will be met at the terminus Of the street
car line in Oak Park and given Tree
| transportation to the schoolhouSe ana
| back to town after the dance closes.
The ladies of the district have ar
ranged to serve a chicken supper for
nominal sum in the basement OF the
| schoolhouse, and every one knows that
a donation supper in the country can
not be surpassed.
| This is an excellent opportunity for
persons inclined to be public-spirited to
aid a good cause, and at the same time
get full value for their time and money
| expended

FROM ALTAR TO JAIL.
An Ex-Sacramento Bridegroom in
the Auburn Rastile.

Life is made up of sunlight and shad-
ows. but Charles Barker of Roseville,
late of this city, is just now of the opin-
ion. no doubt. that the shadows have
about nine to one the best of the sit
uation.
Charles lately started in the hotel bus
mess at Roseville, and last Sunday he
got married. Since then his time has
been quite fully taken up. On Monday
morning he thrsihed one of his board
ers. for which he was arrested, tried
and convicted. Justice Dickey thought
he would be easy on him in view of the
fact that his troubles had but just be-
gun. so he touched him off for only
81 10.
The Judge made mistake in being
so lenient. for Barker simply jumped in
and t.whaled'' the court within an inch
of its life. also the courts brother-in-
law, and interfered in behalf of the
Justice.
On Wednesday Justice Dickey had
