The Last Adobe

1t stands there near the corner.
Looking weather-worn and grim,
And the twisted iron railing
Has a color very dim.
It's the last old time adobe.
Plain and lowly. low and bare.
And the spot looks downright hopeless,
And the windows blankly stare.
It's thing of by-gone era.
And there's little need today
OF a house so fiat and .owly
And put up in such way.
And il really seems detected
Seems TO huddle out Of sight.
While the buildings are erected
To the left and to the right.
By-gone-that's a sad expression
And 1t means a lot to tell
Just what Is that by-gone feeling
Most of us have known so we'll.
And the last old-time adobe
Seems to darkeu and to mourn,
While beside its furrowed surface
Rests the iron rail forlorn.

The Fall Of Arizona Pete

~ "a Western Idyl)
Beans and bacon running low, our Arizona
Pete
Was sent to town, a half days trip. to
stock the camp with meat;
And as he roped his mustang, and cinched
him for the ride
He said: IF ketch dude I'll bring you
back his hide
Now, as Petes steed sped townwards,
across the arid plain.
Augustus Bilkins, from the east, arrived
there on the train.
As sleek and dudeish looking youth as
Is ever came to town
Was "Gussie'' Bilkins college man and
halfback of renown.
Our Pete soon filled his roughened hide
with Arizona rum.
Then took a stroll along the street Just
spilin'" for some fun:
Augustus Bilkins also strolled along that
selfsame street.
So presently came face to face with Ari-
zona Pete.
"whoopee!" said Pete. you're just my
size, the brand I'm chasin now!
I'm a rustlin, roarin', murderin', bad
puncher of the cow!
live on Gila monsters, and all the boys
agree
There amt no rough in all these parts kin
skin a dude with me-"
And Peter danced upon the earth and
whirled his gun about.
And told the crowd there was to be a kill
in" without doubt,
AS dudes had grown too numerous for
Arizonas good.
So Arizona's burning soil was thirsting for
their blood.
Augustus Bilkins saw the bluff and raised
Pete for his pile
With one 'fair tackle" raised him in the
latest football style:
Then followed "punts" and "scrimmages"
and downs" and through it all
Augustus Blkins played the team and
Peter played the ball.
And when the fray was over and what was
once our Pete
Reclned upon the dusty earth, sore, bleed
ing and dead beat
Augustus Bilkns fiicked his shoes and tied
loosened lace,
Then sauntered slowly on again, smile
upon his face.
The moon was shining DER the camp
when battered Pete returned.
Sadder and wiser than before, his lesson
right we'll learned.
He told the boys his story in his lucid,
lurid style.
But his free and forceful comments have
not been kept on file.
Next day he took the boss aside and strong
ly spake his mind:
Both ridin' lines and ropin' steers Is just
about my kind.
But l amt no good at readin' brands. so
just In future plan
To send some cusS to town who knows a
dern dude from a man"

A Spirit of Reverence

This is the thing which l know-and
which, if you labor faithfully you shall
know also-that in reverence is the chief
joy and power of life; reverence for what
Is pure and bright in your own youth;
for what is true and tried in the age of
others: for all that is gracious among the
living. great among the dead, and marvel
Gus in the powers that cannot die.-John

A Klondike Retrospect

On Klondike's stormy heights stand
And cast a wishful eye
To that far land, that long-lost land.
The land of pumpkin pie.
My mother dear. my childhood scenes,
Can never be forgot,
But. oh! to have some pork and beans,
And coffee steaming hot!
There's gold in creek and mountain wall
And gold beneath my feet,
But. damn me, would give it all
For something good to eat

Mans Infallible Guide

Conscience is the voice of the soul; the
passions are the voice of the body. 1t Is
astonishing that often these two languages
contradict each other, and then to which
must we listen? Too often reason deceives
u.s. we have ony too much acquired the
right of refusing to listen to it, but con-
science never deceives us; it is the true
guide Of man; It is to man what instinct is
to the body which follows it, obeys Nature,
and never is afraid of going astray.-Lon-

The Way

Hath no man second life?
Pitch this one high
Sits there no Judge in heaven our sin to see?
More strictly, then, the inward judge obey.
Was Christ a man like us?
All, let us try if we, them too,
Can be such men as He.

TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS

There is but one candidate in the field
for member of the board Of education
from the Seventh ward, and he is the
Democratic nominee, Mr.. Bragg. whose
election is thus assured.
Mr. Bragg Is an honest, intelligent
gentleman, who can be depended upon
to act for the best interests of our edu
cational system, and to efface as far as
possible the splotches made by the un-
lamented Adams.
Mr.. Kubach, as has already been an
nounced, declined being a candidate at
the special election, and the Republic
ans were unable to agree upon a candi-
date. Thus the matter is really taken
out Of politics, which is good thing.

SoMinn Pansx Seeds.

During early October is good time
for sowing pansy seed for next springs

reason for fall sowing out of doors is
that the plants are not then subjected

red spider and other troubles. Pre-
pare bed Of very rich, porous loan
on well-drained location. Place over
ii frame to be filed with forest leaves
as protection to the little plants over
winter. After sowing the seed in the
bed sift a very light covering of soil
over the seed, merely enough to hide
them. During the process of germina-
tion never allow the bed to dry out, as
moisture is essential to perfect germi-
nation of any seed. AS severe weather
approaches cover the bed with few
inches of litter of some sort, forest
leaves being preferable. AT the prop
er time in the spring the seedlings may

ADMIRAL SAMPSON has bee

ADMIRAL SAMPSON has been
much criticized in Congress be-
cause of his failure to even men,
ton Commodore Schley's name in
his dispatch announcing the de-
struction of Cervera's feet, when
it is we'll known that Schley was
in command and directed the fight
that resulted in the destruction of
the:Spanish fleet, and that it was
to Schley that Cervera surrendered.
AS result Of this criticism reso-
luton was offered in the senate by
Senator Pettigrew and in the
house by Representative Berry, of
KY, extending the thanks of Con-
gress to Commodore Schley and
the officers and men under him for
destroying the Spanish feet. Mr..
Berry said Of this resolution: IT
propose that the officer to whom
the glory is due shall be recog-
nized. Schley is the real hero of
the incident. He and the brave
band of officers and men under his
immediate direction are the ones
who achieved the victory. and all
honor should be given them"
