It is generally conceded that
L'Anse has the advantage over any
other location for stamp mills,
owing to Fall river which is Ca
pable of furnishing the required
amount of water without the neces-
sity of pumping, thereby saving an
immense cost, and we believe the
day is not far distant when the big
mining companies will take ad-
vantage of such site.

When a boy turns his bulging pock-

a horse chestnut, u top, brass nails,
hickory nuts, an apple and many more
articles are garnered by this snapper

think of the variety and misc ellany
of the substances We put into the pock-

and the nuts, and things besides quite
as indigestible as brass nails and with
no more food value than SO many mar

stomach 'gives-out.' When the stom-
ach breaks down under the strain of
careless eating and irregular meals it
can be perfectly and permanently re-
stored to health and strength by the

of digestion and nutrition is SO marked

indicated, use DIR. Pierce's Pleasant

YOU KISSED NE.
You kissed me! My head
Dropped low on your breast,
With a feeling of shelter

You kissed me My head
Dropped low on your breast,
With a feeling of shelter
And infinite rest,
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast
Oh, your arms were so bold
Heart beat against heart
In your passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes.
AS the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine
Till prayed in bliss
They might never unclasp
From the raptuIouS kiss
You kissed me! My heart,
And my brain, and my will,
In delirious joy
For a moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions CT happiness
- OUTSIDE 04-y0uf arms
And were Ithis instant
An angel possessed
Of the peace and the joy
That are given the blest,
l would fling my white nobes
Unrepentingly down,
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest,
Your lips upon mine,
My head on your breast.
You kissed me My soul
In bliss SO divine
Reeled and swooned as drunk'n man
Foolish with wine.
And l thought twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath;
If my heart might grow cold
While your arms clasped me round
In your passionate fold,
And these are the questions
ask day and night;
Must my lip taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast
Were my shelter as then,
And if you were here
Would you kiss me again?

hours of the day. 1t seems that this wo-

according to the speculations of numerous
women shOpperS-to revealing her face and
some of these ladies even hint at the en-
gaging notion that she may be young and
beautiful, enduring mendicancy and the
discomforts thereof as a penance. This
idea, however. is probably dream en-
larged upon by young ladies who read much
fiction. At any rate, the crouching woman
makes her faded black shawl serve the
purpose of the oriental woman's yash-mak
and nobody can be found who has seen
her face. She never looks up, and her
crouching attitude, added to the gloomy
strains of her wheezy melodeon. are her
appeals for aims, which she appears to
get in moderation.
Expert With the Cornet
The one-legged cornet player who worked
the downtown streets last year Is start
ing in on the residential section this year,
and he seems to be doing pretty wei at it.
He was up beyond the boundary line the
other afternoon and his powerful notes
could be heard for squares He is a good
cornetist, as, indeed. he could not but be,
if the story is exact that he was at one
time bandsman in the United States reg
uiar army. He plays the old tunes mostly,
and his star pieces are THE Last Rose of
Summer and THE Suwanee River" He
is open to suggestions, however and when
his season is at it's height he performs a lot
of by request music. He rarely fails to
make good even when asked to play
somewhat uncommon and difficult cornet
solos. This one-legged cornetist was per-
forming along Pennsylvania avenue one
day last summer, when he was surrounded
by a crowd of soldier boys from Camp Al
ger. He got into conversation with some of
them, in the course of which he happened
to mention that he had put in a consider

Blind Musicians.
The blind fiddler, who was led about by
his patient-looking wife last year, made his
