Often when 1 think of AL those
Scenes my heart with sadness llls.
And regretfu! recall those
Happy days among the hills;
Inspirations fair unnumbered
Smiled upon those hills seren g.
Many dream of pleasure slumbered
In those peaceful valleys green.
What ara fame and proud position
When the heart is i'll at case?
Where the good OF high ambition
When compared to such as these?
Ever l recall in vain those
Rambles by the laughing rills,
And in my dreams I live again those
Happy days among the hills!

The following Japanese English ad-
vertisement of tooth paste recently
appeared i'll japanese paper: tIn the
eest there was no good sanitary tooth
paste that was sure to cure and safe to
use, so our Company resolved to prepare
a good natured paste and successed. The
efflcienoies of this paste are as follow

the nature of the tooth; secondly, to
tight the tooth with thingams; thirdly,
to defend hemonhage arisen by fric-
trir; fourthly, to take away the often
sive smell of the mouth; filthy, to di-
fend the putrefcation of tooth and SO
prevent the carious one. Any one who
uses this paste will certainly discover
that it is of avery wor drfnl and valu-
able nature by his practice. To use this
paste it is necessary to vinse the mouth

afterward he went to Boston, where he
remained for several months. Miss
Schultz subsequently wrote him, telling
him that he ought to redeem his prom
Use, and she alleges that he wrote in

later Sohorr manifested no intention of
making Miss Schultz his wife. He was
frequently seen in the company of sew
eral well known German actresses. Miss
Schultz finally consulted an attorney.
and it was determined to sue him for
breach OF promise in the sum of 1926. 600
When Miss Schultz learned that he
was about to leave for China. she i'm
mediately asked for the order of arrest.
Judge Mccarthy fixed bail at AZ. 600.
which means that Schorr will have to
give surety for that sum or go to jail.
Even If ne secures it he will not be al
lowed without the confines of the citv
and county of New York. Therefore
Miss Schultz thinks that he will not

of the village of Eddyville, Ia, for a
long time and was at the head of social
affairs. She is talented and accom-
plished, and above all rich. John ia
gers broad acres and wealth were the
envy of many less fortunate neighbors,
and his daughter Mary had been the
dream of every young man in the vii
lage.
A tramp named Flint Thompson, who
had worked few weeks on Grant Cod
ley's farm, adjoining the home of the
Jagers, became smitten with the young
woman, and she returned his protesta-
lions of affection. They met clandes-
timely and eloped and were married by
Judge Robert Sloan of the district
court.

violent with rage when he learned
what had occurred, and he VOWS venge-

Miss Schultz Demands $25, 600 For Wound
ed Affections.
Miss Sera Schultz is an heiress and
cousin of the late Carl Schultz, the
Mineral King. She says she was en-
gagged to Colonial Mandel Schorr, the
son of nobleman and formerly an off
Ger in the Austrian army. When he
manifested desire to break the en-
gagement, Miss Schultz decided to bring
an action for breach of promise. AS
preliminary step she secured an order Of
arrest to prevent the scion of Austrian
nobility from making his escape from
her legal clutches He intended to leave
for China soon, but his plans must be
altered.
Recently Judge MCCARTHY, in the
New York city court, signed the order
of arrest on the affidavit of Miss Schultz.
In this affidavit Miss Schultz says
Schorr is the son of an Austrian noble
man. He became colonel of engineers
in the army of his native country, but
ten years ago resigned from the service
to become a civil and electrical engi-
neer. He came to America two years
ago and was put up for membership at
the exclusive German club, the Freund-
schaft.
Miss Schultz met him first at the
Freundschaft and was greatly struck
with his appearance. He seemed equal
ly enamored, for, meeting her in Ooto-
Der of last year, he paid her marked at
tention. At this time Miss Schultz
was living with relatives on West Fifty
seventh street. She came to America
from her fathers home on the Rhine
for the purpose of completing her edu-
cation. This father, so it is said has
castle or two and other things not
generally allotted to man.

HOBOHURST-BY-THE-LAKE
A Town Whose Inhabitants Are Solely
Tramps.

A Town Whose Inhabitants Are Solely
Tramps.
Ten miles from Brule, Wis, is about
the oldest town in the country. 1t has
800 inhabitants, every one of them a
tramp. 1t is also something of Utopia.
No one pays rent; no one works; every
body loafs; all are fat, happy and lazy.
There may not be $40 in the town, and
there is no reason for the possession of
money. There is nothing to buy and
there is nothing to sell. Vulgar com
MERGE never disturbs the community.
The houses are new, the streets are
broad. Near by are the deep waters of
Lake Superior, and ten miles inland is
the railroad running between Ashland
and Superior. The railroad is handy
when any member of the community
decides upon taking little tour, and
the lake is convenient because of the
fish it furnishes. Within radius of
half dozen miles are enough farms to
supply the village with pilfered produce.
These farmers and the few people
who know of the existence Of the place
call it Trampville. The railroad men
who have heard of it describe it as Ho-
bohurst- by the-Lake. The residents,
however, adhere to it's official title
Clevedon.
Back in 1880 a syndicate of English
capitalists conceived the idea that a
town could be established at the mouth
of the Boise Brule river which in time
would compete with the city of Supe-
rior and attract much of the lake traffic.
Where the Brule river flows into Lake
Superior the land was cleared and a
town site mapped out. Mechanics and
builders of all kinds were employed
with a lavish hand, and houses and
buildings grew up almost in a night.
Such quantities Of money were poured
into the scheme that Clevedon soon at
tracted attention from the outside world,
and numerous families came to the
place, bought lots and put up homes.
In year Clevedon had population
of about l, 100 people and seemed des-
tined to become the great town the syn
dictate had planned. A big hotel was
erected, streets were laid out, and the
we'll built and brightly painted cottages
gave the place an air of bustling pros
perity.
But the tide of lake commerce refused
to sweep upon Clevedon. 1t kept on
moving toward Duluth and Superior
just as it had before the advent of the
new city. Then the population began
to fade away. Cottage after cottage
was deserted, and the next calamity
was the collapse of the fund behind
the syndicate.
By 1890 it was as dead as any place
could be. Every one had gone.
Three years ago some wandering Will
lie discovered it, and other hoboes soon
after began to pay it fleeting visits.
Last fall a score met at Clevedon. Some
of them were not natural Or voluntary
tramps. They were products of the hard
times. These saw the place, sized up
the comfortable houses and the big no.
tel, and determined to spend the winter
there. When others came along, they
were invited to join the permanent col
ony, and many did so.-New York Sun.
