In the Orchard.

Out IN the Orcnaru, years ago,
There lived an ancient harvest tree,
And golden apples used to grow
To yellow ripeness there for me.
The tree was low. its dropping limbs
Hung like an arbor's draperies,
And green leaves. grooming balmy hymns,
Lured TO its depths of shady ease.
In May the ancient tree was white
With tender blooms. and sight and sense
Drunk deep of promise of delight
In summers juicy opulence.
And as the lolling days grew warm.
The young fruit of seductive green
Found refuge in my grateful form,
And worked there. deadly and unseen.
But all the trials were forgot
When, bursting full of lusciousness,
The golden apples came, with not
The fainteSt menace Of distress.
The hornets thronged their broken parts
The bluejayS pccked them on the tree,
But in each apples heart Of hearts
\ "hOney-core' remained for me.
Good friend, life's promise oft is white,
The unripe fruit may cause distress,
But harvest time will make il right
You'll find a honey core | guess.

of central Iowa are preparing for a
monster celebration in Des Moines Oct.
Z, on the occasion of the anniversary
of the landing in America of the first
German colonists, who located in
Pennsylvania, and for whom German

1t is the intention to hold big field
meet. in which the athletes of the Tur-
ner societies will contest for prices
during the morning, and in the after
noon to give a grand parade of the
German societies and organizations.
This parade will probably also include
industrial floats, representing the di-
versified industries with which the
Germans have taken. up in this coun-
try, some floats typical of German
lore, Others to represent the trials and
,sufferings of the early colonists, and

Fierce Flgh. 1yl,h pl,enlork..

Sioux City, Aug. 29.-Two young
men had a fierce fight with pitchforks
near Sioux City, and as result one of
them may die. The authorities have
just learned of the occurrence, and if
one of the lads should die the other
will probably be arrested for murder.
Joseph Shay and Tony Baranzo were
members of IA threshing gang on the
farm of Peter Bruno. Baranzo is an
Italian and had been the subject of a
great deal OF joking on the part of the
other men. That night as Shay was
riding home he carried pitchtorll
with him, anticipating there might be
trouble. He met Baranzo ON the road
and he, too, was armed with fork.
For Shay it was case of fight or get
stabbed to death, as the young son of
italy had blood in his eye. They went
at it and Shay finally struck the other
fellow over the head with the fork.
Twice more he landed and the Italian
was taken home a mass of cuts and
bruises. 1t is said that his condition is
fprecarious.
