trampIed down any more than they,
and should have equal rights ali

More of the Wonders of the Famous

After the accident, with more sobriety

at the expense of the two unfortunate d.

reached the Internal regions" then the
lofty dome called P1uto's dome and Old
Scratch gallery. We sould say these names
are Inappropriate but the guides declare
they are not, and also assert many reasons
for their chd'ce of names. The guide,
Bishop" called our attention to the
scratches in the ceiling overhead In Old
Scratch hall, declaring that the imps Of
darkness had made them in their hasty
and desperate endeavors to get away from
his satanic majesty.
Here we heard loud call for ELLA to
come on"
Serpent hall, however, is rightly called for
tn etrails and forms of serpents are peculiar
and queer freaks of nature. The guide tells
us that Echo river frequently rises to this
point Without taking time to examine the
Valley Way Side cut which we are in
formed is full Of interesting gypsum crys-
tails that grow in inches along the wall, we

MAmA,s GONE

"A dear sweet boy on doorstep sat
With books and basket by his side;
He sobbed as soft he stroked the cat;
His troubles seemed so multiplied,
AS passer, query put in tender tine,
Pathetic answer came, MY mamma S
gone"
"And all the house is locked, too,''
Poor little man, his troubles real,
81 want my mamma now, do!'
His aching heart the words reveal;
Alasi TO many another life's been lone
For long sad time since the mothers gone.
'Just play and wait, my little DEAR"
az can't play tall when mammals gone"
"Your mamma now will soon be here"
But from his eyes the tear drops shown,
For an the listener smiled at what was
heard
The heart responsive was to every word.
And such the pity felt for him,
As thoughts go back on swiftest wing,
That tears now make his own eyes dim;
While playing she hears her mother sing
And knows to feel that mothers always
near
Had left her naught in all the world to fear.
All. yes, dear boy, when mammals gone,
Tho short the time we have to wait,
Too we'll I know It's sad and lone,
And seemeth to us hard, hard fate;
In all the earth or heaven the joy most
dear
Is when we know that mothers very near.
