In the glow of the Someday sum-
Is castle that rears its columued height
Where the mirroring waters run:
Where the tranquil moments like music how
To answer each longing the heart can know,
And the air grows sweet with the gentle sigh
OF the roses kissed as the zephyrs fly.
Like the fabled tokens OF magic's power
Ii rises, us swift rs thought.
From The wist(uIess of an idle hour
Are its dazzling srlendors wrought
But alas, to dust are its glories flung,
BY the passing Jest OF an idle tongue!
They are gone. those beauties OF form and
That were built OF the things you meant to
do.
There's another place where the roses are,
Though it boasts no arch nor spirc;
1t rests to the hithcrward by far,
OF the land OF the Hearts Desire.
'Tis built of the things that youvo really
done,
And the hours smile back ut the gliding sun.
And you love it wel--.hough you sigh anew

If he jumped or fell from the buf-
falo's back he would certainly be
trampled to death by the pursuing
herd, and if he retained his seat till
the bull became tired and ngly it was
equally certain that the beast would
make furious assault upon him when

to cling to the bulls back and await
chance to escape alive, which did not
come till he had ridden two miles in

Fortune favored him, for his novel
steed ran for some distance along
steep, narrow washout with almost
perpendicular banks twenty feet high.
Here Dupree jumped and slid down
the bank just in time to escape the
hoofs of the herd behind. Meantime

disappearing buffalo, reached the spot
