A LOST WORLD.

used TO live IN a better world.
A long long ways from here,
Where the skies were blue and our hearts
were true.
And the days were filled with cheer.
There song and shine gave me and mine
A marvellous round Of joys,
For the moments brought their gifts un-
bought
In that world that was made for boys.
The long. long days were golden days.
And our hearts beat warm and high.
For eye and ear could see and hear
The charm OF earth and sky.
We loitered long by the brooks sweet song.
And we drank at the springs of Truth
In that land OF joys that was made for
boys
The wonderful realms OF youth.
long to dwell In that world once more,
Where the happiest blessings fall;
But lost II when. for the world of men.
traded IL, once for all.
I long to stray through n grass-grown way
To the boundiess fields OF Joy.
And give my gold and a world grown cold
For the heart Of = careless boy.

against Henry A. Mullan, praying that
the defendant be required to disclose and
make known the location of twenty-five
vending machines which the company
claims to have leased to him July 10, 1894

violated the terms of the lease and charges
that he has hid and concealed them and
refuses to deliver them up. The company

the defendant be required to disclose the
location of the machines, with such def

Not Capt. Rnndalr. Domain.

A man giving his name as Thompson
Shackelford, and his occupation as officer
at River View camp ground, called last
night at police headquarters and reported
that Kendrick M. Bradshaw, a resident of
Brooks Station, had been shot on the
ground Sunday. He gave the name of a
boy suspected of the shooting and asked
the police to lock out for him.
River View camp ground Is not the re-
sort known as River View. 1t is said that
there is no such man as Shackelford en-
ployed at River View, and that certainly
there was no trouble at this resort Sunday.
