POETS EVERED PEGASUS
CARRIES HIM At \ DELERIOUS
PACE.
He Sees Things With the Nividnrss
of Reality but Luckily They are
Not Quite so Bad.

Writing from Panama Frank G.
Carpenter, the well known newspaper
correspondent, who is travelling in
South America, says:
Most of the Americans here are
well educated men and many of them
have travelled all over North and
South America. Some have literary
ability, anu / have been much inter
ested in little volumes of poems by
an American named Gilbert.
The following is more glowing by
far than the reality. The Chagres is
really beautiful stream and not half
as bad as painted. The terrible MAS
ma was at its worst years ago. when
the swamps were dug up for the ca
nal and railroad. Today the isthmus
is comparatively healthy:
BEYOND THE CHAGRES.
Beyond the Chagres river,
Are paths that lead to death:
To fever's deadly breezes-
To malaria's poisoned breath!
Beyond the tropic foliage,
Where the alligator waits
Is the place of the devil
His original estates.
Beyond the Chagres river
Are paths fore-er unknown,
With spider meath each pebble,
A scorpion meath each stone.
'Tis here the boa constructor
His fatal banquet holds,
And to his Shiny bosom
His hapless victom folds.
Beyond the Chagres river
Turks the panther in his lair,
And ten hundred thousand dangers
Are in the noXious air.
Behind the trembling leaflets,
Beneath the fallen reeds,
Are the ever-present perils
OF million different breeds.
Beyond the Chagres river
IT'S said-the story's old
Are paths that lead to mountains
OF purest virgin gold;
But tits my firm conviction,
Whatever tales they tell,
That beyond the Chagres river
All paths lead straight to hell!

Remarkable Investigation From Which
tho Lowell Diamond Bicycle Cams
Out AHEAD OF all Competitors.

Where there ere so many makes OF BIZ
cycles on the market, all OF which at first
siSnt seem TO be on an equal footing 20 the
casual observer, and still the fact Is we'll
known that there is no article in common
uso where 1t Is so easy for the manufacture
er to cover up the imper.ections rs In tho
bicycle, both In material and workman
snip, and which cannot be detected until
the machine has been given test on the
road, such an investigation as has Just
been completed by the hes. experts in the
country, under the supervision OF the
Western Review OF Commerce, is likely to
be OF great value to the riding public. The
honor OF producing the best wheel among
the thirty-seyen well.known makes that
were tested fell to the old established house
ofJohnP Lowell Arms Co., OF Boston, Mass,
manufacturers Of the celebrated Lowell
Diamond. The Investigation was made
In thorough manner by competent ex-

A TRYING SITUATION.

A man may be hero
In most any walk OF life;
But certain situations
Make him falter In the strife;
And one that tries his mettle.
It'll warm beneath the collar,
Is when he comes to parting
With his last and only dollar!
He'll laugh at old misfortune
When he hears the dollars clink,
And be- brave for any danger, .
When be knows he's got the "chfnk;'
But he sings different measure.
When his hoard Is growing smaller,
And he finds he's come to parting
With his last and only dollar!
You speak In praise OF striving,
And OF conqueriDg adverse fate,
And prove how oft the humble
Have been truly good and great;
But philosophy Is vanquished
BY both the boor and scholar,
When ii comes to final parting
With the last and only dollar!

Disagreeabie Flowers Made Fragrant.

Artificial flowers now initiate the
natural ones so truthfuliy that they
are much used in room decoration, and
the practice has become much more
widespread since manufacturers have
succeeded in giving them a lasting
perfume. But still more remark
able fact, says foreign paper, is that
Dutch horticulturists have produced
delicately fragrant varieties of flowers
among those species which usually
have disagreeahle odor. Thus sun
flowers exchange their pungent smell
for the scent of the rose, camellias
are made to smell like yiolets, the
faint perfume of primroses is intensi-
fed aud the large cyclamens acquire
the exquisite aroma of the Alpine vio-
let's. The process is still secret, but
it is said that horticultural science
will soon be prepared to disclose it,

There was rustling noise in the
sleeping room as Fred ceased speak
ing. and the door, which had stood
ajar, was pushed open. Susy stood
upon the threshold, her heavy black
draperies still clinging around her,
but her face lifted with look upon it
that went to Fred's heart. 1t was
the expression of so much penitence,
such heart-stricken remorse, that ne
held out both hands, to gather her
closely in his arms. Then she spoke:

1t was still daylight on the summer
afternoon when Fred Aiken came
home, Before he entered the house
he drew q deep sigh of relief, seeing
the shutters of every window opened
ana the light shaded only by inner
curtains. In the sitting room Eddie
and Charlie, long banished because
they were noisy, were building block
houses. Their dress showed plainly
that Mamie had no longer sole con-
troll of their appearance, and on each
little face was II serene happiness, as
il some long-feltrestraint was gone.
Susy,in dress of black, thin goods,
had put snowy RULES at wrists and
throat and, for the first time since
her baby died, had arranged her hair
fashionNbly and becomingly. Upon
her face, still pale and thin, was o
smile of welcome for Fred, and the
kiss Of greeting he gave her was COR
daily returned.
"Papa" the boys shouted, "see us
tumble down the tower mamma

And down came the rafting blocks,
without any quick cry of restraint for
their noise or the gleeful shouts Of the
little ones.

And find ledge on the mount OF Faith

They had been thinking of buying the roller purchased three years ago by the Central Avenue Driving associa- tion, and made an offer to the owners. They were inclined, though, to wait now until after the sprinkler had b2e1 given test.
 Loveland Francis, well known in Phoenix as a worker in the Salvation Army, left last night for Jerome, where he has obtained situation in the mine. MT. Francis is a man of whom it is hard to say too many good things. Until August of 1886 he had led life of dissipation for several years until it culmi- mated or rather degenerated into a condition of cocaine fiendishness and he was the lowest of the low. One August night he was arrested for a murderous assault and was held to the grand jury While in Jail he was con verted by the Salvation Army and he has been ever since most faithful soldier, never losing an opportunity to extend the conquests of the army. In the meantime he has not neglected his secular duties either. He merely took his religion with him to his daily work and he has hardly missed a day. What he has earned more than was necessary for his living has been de- voted to the payment of debts, many of them consisting of old whisky bills here and in other towns and which he would not have paid but for his newly acquired religion. AS soon as all his obligations have been discharged all his time and energy will be devoted to the army.
