Sucu is the death the soldier dies
lie fails-the column speeds away;
Upon the dabbled grass he lies,
His brave heart following, still, the
fray.
The smoke wraitbs drift among thetrecs,
The battle storms along the hill;
The CLINT OF distant arms he secs,
He hears his comrades shouting still.
A. glimpse Of far-bornc flags, that fade
And vanish, in the rolling din;
He knows the sweeping charge is made,
The cheering lines are closing in.
Unmindful OF bis mortal wound,
He family calls and seeks to rise;
Butweakness drags him 20 tho ground
Such is the death the soldier dies.

which was due to the daring
skill and determination of Col.

Tins morning the chief of

Some people talk about news
papers receiving complimental "
tickets to shows, entertainments
etc. These people are certainly
not posted. The newspapers
pay more for tickets than any
other class of people, and there
is absolutely no such thing as a
complimentary ticket ever
given a printing Office. Paw
cash for your advertising and
the newspapers could buy the
tickets and have money left. If.
the merchant should give a.
dollars worth of sugar for a.
fifty cent ticket to u show, you
could call him a fool. The
newspaper columns are just as.
valuable to the editor DIS

Sixty or more miles to the

where lived an Irishman up to
present year. His name was
Gallagher-G GA llagher, of San
Clemente--and be, too, was at
war with all the world, though
it is but fair to say that once a
year he left his island home and

At Santa Catalina island, 30
miles from land, there are sever
al men who prefer solitude to
the world and have turned their
backs upon civilization for
reasons best known to them
selves. One of the most isolat-
ed places of this group is San
Miguel, small island opposite
Santa Barbara. Here a man
lives alone. Two years ago
the island was shaken by an
earthquake. The cliffs fell in,
the harbor changed and small
vessel was wrecked. Twenty
miles south of this is an island
known as Anacapa, the ever
changing. 1t is about a mile
long, very narrow, with a small
sloping mesa upon which all the
pelicans of the Pacific slop seem
to have settled. There is no
water here. so it is said, except
what is caught in winter, and
the few sheep upon 1t obtain
what they get by licking the
dew from each others wool. On
this desolate beaten spot
