THE POET AND the GIRL.
Modern Fable showing How Up-to-date
Verses Are Written.

From the St Louis Mirror
A Poet loved a Girl. and the Girl loved
Him. But she was a Girl. and she kent
him oscillating between JOY and Despair.
And in each mood ne wrote Songs And
Editors liked the Songs and printed them.
And the Public liked them, too. and learn
ed them by heart. And everybody envied
the Girl who had "such a brilliant man on
her string" The Editors paid for the
Songs and the Poet took the Money. and
put 1t In the Bank. And the Public bought
the Songs when they were published In a
Volume. And the Bank account waxed
fat
Then the Poet married the Girl and he
was so famous that the Associated Press
telegraphed an account of the wedding all
over the land Alas The marriage de-
stfoyed the heart-interest Of the Public i'm

ceased. And the Bank account waned
very lean where II had waxed fat. for
when he got married the Poet had TO
write many checks. The Poet was sor-
rowful. His wife did not weep how ger.
The checks he gave her were a satisfac-
tory substitute for the Songs. But the
money was soon all checked away. And
the Poet had to hustle otherwise than BY
invoking the Muse. and the wife grieved
that neither checks nor sonnets were
written TO her. She went to her Folks

The white woman was in Casper some

Mrs. Cook is of the opinion that she
is her sister.
The Tribune. which is published at

with several columns detailing the
circumstances of Mrs. Cooks capture
by the Indians and her experiences in
captivity. Mrs. Cook was Mary
Fletcher at the time, and the Fletcher
family. which came to Henry county,
Illinois, from England in 1861, was
journeying overland to California four
years later. In Wyoming territory
they were attacked by a war party of

BUY KARR BUILDING FOR 1890
Four-Story Furniture House to
Be Constructed On
the Site.

ClemaRn & Salzmann, the furniture
dealers, yesterday completed q deal
by which they became the owners of
the Karr building on Second avenue,
north of Spencer square. and former
~ occupied by CralIe & Co.. for a
consideration of $3.50. Mr.. karr
retains the 15-foot lot east of the
main building, on which he has
recently erected 2-story addition.
The building purchased is s0x15O
feet and was bought with the ultimate
object of making a furniture store of
it. While Clemann & Salzmann have
lease of three years on their present
quarters, the prevailing uncertainty
as to the disposition of the old theatre
building in case new one is
erected here has rendered 1t advisable
for the firm to cast about for new
quarters.
Proposed Improvement.
Before being occupied as furniture
store the karr building will be raised
to four stories. The new owners have
had it inspected and find that it has
one of the best foundations in the city
and will carry four stories with per-
feet safety. Peter Fries has given
assurance that he will build on his lot
adjoining on the west as soon as the
i'm provement is made. For the pres
ent. however, nothing will be done.
and Clemann & Salzmann expect to
rent the building temporarily.

Belden Hill, who was Rock Island s

this city:

it should be done early this fall. so
that each town can get good sound

enthusiastic now over the national
game as they ever have been. They
want baseball, but nothing will 90
but fast article. Probably no one
in the towns mentioned in his letter
il better qualified to Judge of the ont
look than Mr.. Hill. He has been
playing in teams and managing them
for years in this section of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Eddy. who was secretary of the
late Rock Island Baseball association,
is of the opinion that a league such
as suggested by Mr.. Hill could be
made winner if the proper people
were interested and placed at the
head of it. He believes if anything
is to be done here with reference to a
professional team it must be done at
once, in order that the city will be
ready to talk business whenever a
meeting to discuss league organiza-
ton is called. MIR. Eddy favors the
idea of giving entertainments and
dances to raise funds. as money is
necessary to assemble and organize q
team.
