THE FIRST RED LEAF.

What is that which the eye perceives
Glowing among the thick green leaves?
Is 1t an oriole perched to rest,
Or tanager, with his vivid vest?
Or lonely grosbeak, left behind,
Forgotten by all his gorgeous kind?
Alas, for summer-and woe for me
IT'S the first red leaf on the dogwood tree!
All, why, for the grass Is not yet sere;
No blight betokens the failing year;
A late rose reigns on her thorny throne,
All the fairer because alone,
And mods and smiles in the sunny noon,
AS sweet and perfect as those of June;
Why hint at winter and storm to be,
o first red leaf on the dogwood tree?
One orphaned lily leans pale and tall,
Last of it's line, by the lichened wall,
The saliva losses its brilliant plume,
The bright nasturtiums are yet In bloom,
And dahlias, crimson and gold and white,
Waste their beauty. awake all night,
Yet here, with it's sorrowful prophecy, :
Is the first red leaf on the dogwood tree!
The knapweed swings by the meadow path
Where mowers gather the aftermath;
The first pale aster has but begun
TO hint that the torrid days are done,
The fringy sprays of the golden-rod
Are spreading their spendthrift wealth
abroad,
And, while they charm us, we need not see
The first red leaf on the dogwpod tree!

William Boyer from his front window,
for even he felt merciful at last.
Whimple loosened his grip on the wire
and the dog rolled in one direction and
he himself collapsed against fence

The many and interesting things
which Boyer SdlQ 10 WHilnple WITCH lie
came out upon the lawn are not matters
of history. 1t was plain enough, even
to the dog thief, that at last he had

his defiance was gone. He begged Boyer
to tie him together and send him home

CRISIS IN SIOUX CITY.
Judge EnjOins Municipal officers
from Running Into Debt.

District Judge Gaynor has enjoined
the officers of Sioux City from issuing
bonds, warrants or other evidence of
Indebtedness against the city, and for
hidden the county commissioners from
levying taxes on the basis of the levy
certified to them from the city. This
action completely ties up municipal
business, and the city auditor closed
his Office and went home. The State
Bank Building company is nominal
plaintiff, but many other large prop
erty owners are interested with it.
They claim the city's legal limit of in
debtedness is about 100000, and its
present actual Indebtedness is in the
neighborhood of 100000. They fur
Their allege that the mayor and city
auditor are about to sign $25O,000 more
bonds, recently issued by the council.
This precipitated the present litiga-
ton.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 25.-Three hun
dred and seventy-four out of the 382
private and state banks of Kansas have
made their report to Bank Commits
sioner John w. Breidenthal, and they
have verified his prophecy that the in
crease in deposits would amount to
100000. This is an increase over last
year Of As per cent. Mr.. Breidenthal
attributes it to the wonderful cleaning
up of private Indebtedness under the
squeeze of money loaners during the
past five years, thus leaving the people
with surplus when their stupendous
wheat crop was marketed. The ma
tional bank reports have not been
made, but it Is estimated they will
show an increase of $2,000,O 900, making
the entire increase in deposits nearly
$10,000,000. The entire deposits of the
state are estimated at $40, 600, 900, which
means $50 per capita in available cash.

Boyer took his prepared dog home,
and, waiting for the opening of the dog
catching season, he set about perfect
ing his plans. BY the time Whimple was
due to go on his rounds all was ready,
and Boyer took his dog out and set it
down on rubber mat on the front
porch. This was at night, and early the
next morning the despised Whimple,
sneaking along in Boyer's neighborhood
for he always made for the home of
the dog fancier on the first day of his
resumption of business-caught sight
of the spaniel in the early morning semi
light.
That's Dodger,' he murmured to
himself. "Boyer'll pay ten dollars out
of hand to get him back once l catch
him." And he looked carefully about
to see if he was observed.
I'll get him quick an take the tag
off him before he can give yelp," said
Whimple, softly, IAN then I'll be ready
to swear he was runnin' around out
here, barkin' at me as / was goin' by"
Whimple, as has been said, saw the
dog. But, alas, there was an invisible
thing of which he took no cognizance.
And that invisible thing was the heavy
copper wire which ran from the trolley
line over to Boyer's house and down
alongside the porch, wherein Dodger
lay waiting for the door to open. And
if the man had seen it, do you think he
would have stopped to calculate that
the dog was loaded with enough cleo
tricity to keep 16 trains busily plying
between Omaha and Council Bluffs
that the beasts life and vitality came
not from a collection of sesamoids and
temporals and livers and lights, but
from lot of cotton wheels in power
house two miles away? Hardly.
Certainly he thought nothing of the
kind. But standing on the well-watered
lawn of Bill Boyer-and oh, how care
fully the man of types and stump
speeches had sprinkled that lawn on
the night before!-he poised his wire
moose for action, and leaning over the
rail slipped it about the dogs uplifted
head and gave quick jerk, the purpose
OF which was to choke his prey into i'm
mediate silence.
Inc school DOCKS used TO say that IL
man lived on the planet Neptune he
would be able to jump over the Wash
ington monument, or thereabouts.
For moment Whimple seemed to be-
lieve that his home was in Neptune,
and that he wanted to get back there
right away. He gave one leap aloft and
turned few dozen times like sort Of
"day-freworks" brand of pinwheel.
He alighteI on the back of his neck
when he came down, but being
courageous sort of villain in some
ways, and believing that the dog was
stronger than he ever calculated upon, he
hung grimly to the wire and abused the
