Poetry That Paid,

'"They say writing poetry doesn't pay,
but look at Bardsley. His poetry made
him rich"
as that so? | hadn't heard of it,"
YES, some man with lot of money
and no children has given him for
tune"
"Wcll. by George, that beats me.
Bardsley's poetry always seemed to me
to be the worst kind OF rot. This fellow
who got so stuck on it must be light in
the upper story, isn't he?"
"Oh. no. 1t isn't that. He seems to
have found out in some way that Bards-
ley wrote poetry for living, and it was
with the idea Of making him independent
for life that the money was turned over"

A CHRISTMAS SONG

Shining sprays Of ivy bringi
Irvine a carcanet for Mirth.
Who shall make the echoes ring
Round the genial Christmas hearth.
Hunchback Care away shall creep.
With Distrust and Doubt, forsoothi
And the nimble quip shall leap
From the lip OF Age and Youth.
And while Marian, trim Of tread,
Sets the candles all aglow,
Slyly DER the maidcn's head
One shall hang the mistletoe.
Then it's ha my lass, and heyl
And it's no! my lad, and hi!
Faith, his wits are gone astray
Who would let the chance slip .,

"They'rc all up stairs in the study now
as merry as crickets. Even Mrs. Brun-
der wasn't bit startled, or if she was it
didn't hurt her. There, miss, that's the
study door now. They're coming down
and in Il family party, just as they ought
to be-" And with this he retired
Marcy waited in the hall. The ro-
nance of the affair had vanished.
Down stairs came the happy party,
merrily talking. Her Uncle Horace was
first of all, his face brighter than she
had ever seen it, and as soon as he per-
ceved her he called out, Happy New
Year, Marcy" in n voice so strong and
hearty that she could scarcely believe it
belonged to him. Then her aunt. who
seemed really in hurry to come down
stairs, gave her the same greeting, which
was echoed loudly by Mr.. John, who
was a little in the rear.
Happy New Year to--you all" she
was about to add, but she did not. She
simply stood and gazed, her face turning
now little pale and now little red and
her eyes wide open with wondermcnt.
The last person of the party coming
down the stairs, little behind Mr.. John,
was man evidently young. He had no
beard, and his face was very fresh col
ored. He was tall too, taller than her
Uncle Horace. She thought he looked as
though he wanted to bid her happy
New Year, too, but he did not do it,
Now Mr., John laughed aloud, and they
nll laughed, excepting the young man,
who apparently knew what they were
laughing about and who turned little
red. and excepting Marcy, who did not
know what they were laughing at and
who turned somewhat pale.
"Ah. Margey," shouted Mr.. John, ~

together kinder friendly like" She turn
ed on her heel and walked away.
That was the last time Tim spoke to
her for over Il year. That period of his
life was an interlude OF blank agony. As
for being hero, he felt instead the
meanest of men.
II he had loved Persis Henderson, b
worshiped her now, and it may seem
strange to some that the few but incisive
words She had spoken increased his pas
sion tenfod.
Those who profess to understand hui
man nature have not yet given us salts
factory definition OF the qualities that
make Il hero. Perhaps, after all, it is only
the lack of opportunity that keeps all OF
us from being heroes. When that time
comes, it is generally the hero himself
that is most surprised.
That is the way it was with Tim. Two
days before Christmas, the following
year the weather vanes backed into the
southwest for a second time. There was
not much wind stirring, but the most
dangerous thing about the weather some
times is its calm. The sea captains eiher-
titus said it was Il weather breeder" and
so it was.
The night before Christmas the south
west wind had freshened up and at
dawn had reached that point which en-
titled it to being called ''screamer."

S. p. Page Arrested.

Sheriff James L. Beman, OF Pueblo,
arrived in the city last evening with
requisition papers for the custody of
S. P. Page, against whom the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
tense is made by c. J. Trumbull of Pu-
eblo. The sheriff will present his docu-
ments TO Governor Wells today and ex-
poets to start east with his prisoner
tonight.
Page was arrested by order of Chief
Pratt Wednesday morning and held I'M
til Thursday night, when he was re-
leased on 500 bail. Up TO that time no
word had been received from Pueblo
as TO the coming of an officer and in
response to a proposition wired by
Trumbull that he would accept $50 and
call it off, Page telegraphed the
amount Yesterday morning Chief
Pratt was advised that Sheriff Beman
was on his way and he ordered Page
taken into custody again.
It is claimed that Page, while in the
saloon business in Pueblo, leased q
cash register and later sold out the
business to C. J. Trumbull, giving him
a bill of sale for the register Trum-
bull discovered that the register was
only leased and it cost him S100 to be
come the owner, hence he brought the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretense against Page in making the
alleged sale

resolution branched off by declaring
that not one of the committee clerks is

You say the senatorial contest will

office is.

morrow will say: A gigantic combina-
ton in copper was recently effected in
