MERRY AUTUMN,

It's all farce-these tales they tell
bout the breezes signing
And moans astir DER field and dell
Because the ear is d ying
Such principles are most absurd
L care not who first laugh. 'em;
There's nothing known TO beast or b ird
To make a solemn autumn.
In so o'emn times, when grief holds sway,
With countenance dis ressing,
You'Il note the more of blaca and gray
VIII then be used in dressing.
Now purple tints all around;
The sky is blue and mellow:
And cen the grasses turn the ground
From modest green to eIlow.
The seed burrs all with laughter crack
On featherweed and jimson;
And leaves tha; should be dressed in black
Are all decked out in crimson
A butterfly goes win giDg by;
A singing bird comes after:
And nature, all from earth to sky,
Is bubbling DER with lau ghter.
.
Don't talK to me of solemn days
In autumn's time of splendor,
Because the sun shows iewer rays
And those grow s ant and slender
Why. It's the climax of the year
The highest time of living!
Till naturally its burning cheer
just melts into thanksgiving.

bound freight train on the Mo. Pac.
met with a terrible accident Monday
evening. 1t seems as if they were
heading in on the new switch at the
new smelter to pull out some empty
cars and were running at a pretty
good rate. The two men were on the
cOwcatcher of the engine and all st
once saw a wire stretched across the
track, but not in time to Jump or get
out of the way. The engineer saw it
too about the same time and re-
versed his engine, but not in time to
save the men. The wire struck them
about the face and dragged them
from the engine and had it not stop
ped just when it did one of the men
at least would have been killed. Mr..
H. +. Brinkley was badly cut around
the neck and arms and considerably
bruised, and Mr.. J. F. Jarman had
his hands and arms badly cut Mr..
Brinkley was taken to DIR. FultOn's
