The Ladrone INCIDENT.


The Spanish suv nor of the isles
Within his little fort
Behold with most becoming smiles
Tho Yankees enter port
"You 'ro welcome, gentlomen, he said
In quite engaging tones,
For ho was nicely born and bred.
This chief OF tho Ladrones.
"Now tell me franlsly. IL you please"
He said, "what cnn do
To place you fully ut your ease,
You and your noble crew."
"Thank YOU" tia Yankee tar replied.
"Then will make no bones
want you, and | want beside
Your nest OF small Ladrones."
They brought him round with smelling
salts,
And then they told him nil.
he listened while with many hnlts
The story they let fall.
He listened with a stony look.
No doubt with inward groans,
And then his sword no did unhoois,
With "Here are your Ladronos.'
The Yankee captain took the blade
And murmured his regret.
His compliments he bowed and paid.
And added, "Do not fret"
The guv'nor softly groaned and said
In deeply injured tones,
"These isles in blood should run so rcd
I'd saved my small Ladrones."

The FlckIe Fair.

Tho gossips are abasing certain
pretty Atchison girl whose sweetheart
is with the volunteers at Camp Alger
for coming down town the other night
with another young man for soda wa
ter. Although it is less than two
months since he enlisted to fight and
perhaps bleed for his country, she is al
ready tickle. When he comes back with
the medals pinned all over his breast
and scorns her, how she will bitterly
repent taking that glass of soda water
with another er!-Atchison Globe.

Superintendent A. G. Ridgway,
of the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad, is one of the best
railroad men in the West, He
took charge of that road four
years ago and about the first thing
he did was to call to his aid such
tried and true men as Robert Pat
terson and others who had worked
with him on the Denver and Rio
Grande and he went to work with
will to make a success of the en-
terprise. That he has succeeded
beyond his own expectations per-
haps is abundantly attested by the
fact that the road is now on q
paying basis and is one of the best
managed roads in the country.
The passenger coaches on this
line are models of neatness and all
the employees of the road from
Superintendent Ridgway down
are corteous and obliging and
nothing is left undone which will
tend to make their patrons CON-
Portable. The managers of that
road made no mistake when they
selected A. G. Ridgway as super
intendent. Salida Record.

COURTS DANGER.
Ma.ter-at-Arms Coombs Becomes Grid
iron General.

Mr.. James F. Coombs, who was MASTER
alarms on the U. S. 8. Montauk and
who was recently discharged from the
United States navy, has been engaged as
football coach for the University of Maine.
Mr.. Coombs was center for Brown Uni.
versity when in college and was then con-
sidered to be one of the finest centers in
the country. He possesses magnificent
baritone voice and has sung more or less
in public in Portland. While the Mon
tauk was at League Island Mr.. Ooombs's
fine voice attracted the attention of the
officers of the .. S. S. Minneapolis, which
laid near the Montauk, and they invited
Mr.. .Coombs to sing for them many times
while the ship laid there.
The State college is fortunate in secur-
ing the services of such an excellent foot
ball player as Mr.. Coombs and when the
college team goes into the field this fall
it will undoubtedly compare favorably
with any team in the state as the result
of it's training.
