Another famous mans wife is doomed
to become known as the architect of her
husbands fame and fortune. A personal
friend of the writer, who was a neighbor
and client of Edgar William Nye when
the coming humorist was struggling
young lawyer in Larmie City, AYERS that
Mrs. Nye was at that time a regular CON
tributer to eastern periodicals, and her
earnings as a writer helped materially to
supply the needs of that modest, though
cultured western home. The above calls
to mind the reflection that if steps are
not soon taken to set the real character
of the dead humorist rightly before the
world, the next generation will disgrace
and wrong the name of Nye as our own
period has been unjust to the memory OF
Edgar Allen Poe. Joe Newman who was
with Nye through his last lecturing season
and on the fateful night at Jersey City,
should collect matter and prepare book
to portray the character of Nye, and
protect from undeserved calumny.

Coiorado's Gold Is Bright.

No, boys, maybe I'm foolish, but want
no Klondike gold,
1t is too dearly bought, like the Roman
conquests of old.
1t seems to me no test Of courage though
some call it bold,
To brave the northern glaciers and defy
the Arctic cold
| know It's true that times are dull and
there is little cheer,
For men who delve in these hills, as they
have, year after year.
But peg away and don't despair the pay
streak may be near,
And when its cut, you need not doubt
Well have our millions here.
The gold that's bought with human lives
bears burdens of the dead;
And he who seeks but yellow dross
brings it blood stained red.
For love of country and of home heroes
have fell and bled,
But no shaft marks the spot where sell
fish greed for gold has led.
All along the Chilkoot trail are unmarked
snowy graves.
And mounds dot the shores where roll,
LeBarge's rost-hecked waves
Would you see the horrors that beset
these gold seeking slaves?
Then look into the madhouse where the
insane wildly raves
No, l do not wish to go, though wrong l

That postal reform is needed
The we have no doubt, but the
Loud proposed law, known as the
Bill Loud bill, is aiming to place re-
strictions upon certain class
that would amount to discrimination,
and no class legislation is reform. The
present postal law is all right, and with
a proper observance of the regulations
now in effect there is no necessity for the
enactment of new law. If every pub
lcation admitted to second class privi-
leges at the present time were to undergo
a rigid investigation there would be sew
eral thousand tons of yellow back itera-
ture consigned to another class, the
amount of weight transmitted greatly
reduced, and the revenue earned largely
increased. On our desk lies a missive
from publisher, offering bargain in
boohs,-a novel, which he announces has
been admitted to the mails at second
class rates. We do not believe it was
intended by the trainers Of the present
law that books should be classed with
periodicals.. Another saving could be
effected in the cost Of railway transpor-
tation. The government pays several
times the price paid by individuals for
carrying freight. Let the postoffice Off
cials make the reforms that lie within
their reach, and then will be time enough
to claim new postal laws are needed.

A Dilemma and the Way Out.

There are thousands of Hay-Fever and
Asthma sufferers who cannot resort to a
change of climate during their annual at
tacks, either because of the expense or be-
cause duties at home will not permit their
absence. They have to stay and suffer.
There are many, also, who are year by year
hndlng that places heretofore exempt are be-
coming less and less so, and they must move
on to ind new locations where they can es-
cape the HayFever fiend
Now this is all wrong. When doctors tell
you that Hay Fever cannot be cured, they
simply mearthat they cannot cure you.

Capt. Kidd in story and in Fact.

Among all the pirates who have fig
ured in history, legend or song, there
is one whose name stands preeminent
i'll America as the typical hero of the
dreaded black flag. The name of this
man will instantly come to the mind of
almost every reader, for when we speak
of pirates we usually think of Capt.
Kidd. In fact, however, Capt Kidd was
not typical pirate, for in many ways
he was different from the ordinary ma
rine freebooter, especially when we con-
slider him in relation to our own coun-
try. All other pirates who made them
selves notorious on our coast were
known as robbers, pillagers and ruth
less destroyers of life and property, but
Capt. Kidd's fame was of another kind.
We do not think of him as pirate who
came to carry away the property of
American citizens, for nearly all the
stories about him relate to his arrival
at different points on our shores for the
sole purpose of hiding the rich treas
ures which he had collected in other
parts of the world. This could not fail
to make Capt. Kidd most interesting
parsonage, and the result has been that
he has been lifted into the region of le-
gendary romance. There are two Capt.
Kidds-the Kidd of song and story, and
the other the Kidd of fact.-Frank r.

THE ROAD THROUGH THE MARSH

A murderer fleeing adown the night,
% the road through the marsh Is wild
and wetD
His hands are red but his cheeks are white
And awful shapes in the gloom alright
For the stars are few and the young
moon set.
He shivers and shrinks at the briers touch.
It's the hand of iend with its talon
clutch!
And the cry of the wind is bloodhound s
bay;
And the low. black clouds fierce birds of
prey!
The wild, weird plant of the whippoor-
will
Is voice-that voice that he cannot still
Far down in the north, beyond the frs.
The pickering CLEAN auroral stirs.
IT'S the sway of a lantern forward and
back,
The red avengers are on his track!
He stumbles-he falls-and his senses swim,
The sinking sands are ingulfing him!
All pangs-all tortures, all fears he hath
Yet the road through the marsh is pleas
ant path!
A pilgrim journeying down the night.
20 the road through the marsh is green
and deepD
One star looks out like beacon light,
BY this he can shape his course Alright
And about are the ferns and flowers
asleep.
How sweet their breath, in the dews of
even,
Like the incense cup of a soul forgiven!
Was that the whippoorwill's timid call?
How 1T blends with the breeze in the tree
tops tall
In the polar sky a soft light grows
With the dawns own semblance of gold
and rose.
What mean those beautiful mystic rites
In the astral deeps of the summer nights?
COD knows! And he kneels on the soft, cool
sod;
How good to leave the unknown with God!
How good to feel. when the way is dim
That the road is safe if we keep with Him!
