much the worse for his experience at
the hands Of the Boxers. He lost sn
eve In. the retreat to Tien Tsin and Is
on his way home on sick leave.
Speaking of his experience, LIeuten-
ant Won Krohn said:
Our serious troubles began after We
left Tien Tsin for PeSin. The Boxers
destroyed the railroad in front Of us and
behind us. and in spite Of our precau-
tions cut Off our line Of communication
with Tien Tsin. Provisions began to
run short and. as the only means Of
preservation from total annIhllation.
Admiral Seymour determined to turn
back
That march back 10 Tien Tsin was
a terrible experience. We had been out
eight days, had been subjected to gall
ing fire during the entire period and
had run short OF ammunition. We
were not prepared for a siege cam
paign or we could have made It more
interesting for the Boxers and. might
add, for the imperial troops. It was
not until we started on our retreat that
we realized that the imperial troops
were supporting the Boxers. Troops
from Pekin. armed with modern weap-
ons and apparently we'll drilled. closed
In on us and throughout our retreat we
had to contend against tremendous
odds.
"our most eventful experience was
during the night Of the 22d when we
were attempting to take a long night
march under cover Of darkness. We
reached Chez Ku. which is about seven
miles from Tien Tsin. at o'clock in
the morning and there ran into for
midable body Of troops holding fort
on the opposite side Of the river We
could see the Chinese soldiers less than
100 yards away standing by their guns,
but as they did not shoot on our ap-
proach we presumed they were not go
ing to molest u.s.
"One Of our officers stepped forward
and asked If any Of their number could
speak English and as If this were a
signal for the beginning Of hostIlities
they opened fire with machine guns
and rifles. The fire was CALLING, but 1t
caused the column to swerve only for
moment. Then we sought shelter and
began picking off the gunners by rifle
fire. Then a dash was made across the
river. The German troops captured
two guns and the English took another.
and no time was lost in turning them
upon the Chinese. who were soon put
TO flight. We were subsequently in
formed that the fort was garrisoned
by 5000 imperial troops and Boxers.
They were routed through sheer pluck
and bravery. After that eventful ex-
perience we managed to reach Tien
Tsln with little difficulty"

The Chimes Of Limerick.
A Beautiful Story of How the Bells
Found Their Way to the Banks
of the Shannon.


Nearly half a century ago, before
the various provinces of Italy had been
consolidated in the monarchical gov
eminent, there lived In the city of
Genoa a young man called Giuseppe
Giovanni. For many centuries the fam
bells and chimes.
G~iuseppe's father had made some of
the most famous chimes that rang In
Italy, but had lever succeeded in &C.
complishing his idea. 1t had been his
great ambition to make q set of chimes
that the whole world would come to
hear, bells of heavenly tone. The elder
Giovanni was a hot headed man, q
stanch democrat and rather too free
of speech. A few i'll chosen sentences
~derogatory to the reigning powers
proved his downfall, and one day as
Giuseppe was hard at work on an odd
bell for the cathedral's chimes n litter
bearing the form of his father. with a
deadly stab wound in his back, was
brought into the dingy little shop and
set down before the son.
Giuseppe" said the dying man,
keep out of politics and live only in
your work. Strive only for your ideal,
and In the end you may succeed where
your father failed. Aim for the very
highest, and may God grant that you
accomplish it."
A year after his fathers death found
the young artisan hard at work in his
shop. When his father died, he had
made a VOW to accomplish the ideal
that his father had vainly struggled
for. The bench at which he was work
Ing was rough hewn, long and broad
and Uttered with a confusion of tools,
bits Of metal and unfinished bells. On
one c0rne of the bench was a collec.
ton of tuning forks of various sizes
and metals. At one side of the tuning

forks lay a dusty old violin and a slen.
der silver mounted flute. In the real
of the shop were a small furnace, q
metal covered with dirt and rust. The
ceiling of the shop consisted of several
heavy beams covered with rough
boards to which hundreds of spiders
had fastened their webs. From cne
beam hung suspended an enormous
bell fitted with a long, slender clapper
capped on the end with a large brass
knob. This bell was inscribed with
strange characters, a relic of the las;
crusade.
Giuseppe was polishing away with a
sanded cloth at the surface of a bell
that already shone lustrously In the
dim light that struggled through the
little windows in the front of the shop
His fingers fairly flew as he turned,
twisted and rubbed the shiny bowl of
metal. A rough cloth succeeded the
sanded n and in turn made way for
n of soft texture. Then the bell
was hung on a little metal frame some

A drawer was opened and a bundle OF
cloth produced from its recess anc
swiftly unrolled to reveal a highly pol
ished and properly wrought little clap

A piece Of Irvine was attached to g
little knob on the bulb of the clapper.
A gentle pull and a subdued silvery
tone filled the narrow confines of the
shop. The tone swelled until ii fairly
rang, reyerberating from wall to wall,
from rafter to rafter, seeking out every
nook and Granny of the shop. dying
away at last in a little shudder of de,
light. The young Genoan had clasped
his hands together and listened with an
agony of intensity, straining his ears
for a scintilla of a flaw in the tones.
and when the silvery Naturalization
had died away he leaned back with g
sigh Of ecstatic relief.
Day after day and long into the
nights Giuseppe toiled with a fervor
and energy almost fanatical. He ate
but little and slept only when natural
fatigue compelled him. He became thin
and emaciated. and his eyes shone with
a feverish luster, but not for a single
day did he give up his work. One by
n his bells grew into the size and
form he desired. and he gave to each
Its proper tone. To him they were
things animate. He talked to them,
caressed, petted and scolded, and each
night when he ceased his labor he put
them away In their allotted places
with a paternal are and solicitude.
One beautiful August day Giuseppe
sat at his bench giving the finishing
touches to the last of his set of chimes.
Nearly two years had passed since he
began his work; two years, but a
great change had taken place in the
appearance Of the young man. His

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD LOVE.

There are no days like the good old days
TIL, days when We were youthful;
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion
And before each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em-
AS buxom and smart and clean Of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make 'cm.
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
A piety all supportin;
They could bake and brew and had taught
school, too,
And they made the likeliest courtin.
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together,
When the grass was sweet to the brown bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather,
When the pewee sung to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whippoorwill
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us,
30 we dream and dream of the good old times.
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those car old dreams bring soothing glearns
OF heaven away off yonder.

MINING AT NEIHART.
Good Words for the Future
of This Camp by One Well
Acquainted with the Form
alton.

eff the Neihart mining district
fails to produce a vast quantity Of
silver, copper and lead during the
next five years, mining experts from
all over the country have missed
their cue, for they have all said that
the region has a great future before
it, So said Geo. H. Marelius to a
Minneapolis Times reporter recently
Mr.. Marelius has lived in the Mel
hart district for the past II years
and is heavily interested in the camp
but now owns and operates a large
stock ranch near Williston, n. ID
Speaking of mining in Montana, Mr.
Marelius said:
"Neihart is the greatest silver
camp in the state today. II is stu
ated in the heart of the Little Belt
range of mountains, at an altitude
Of $500 feet above the sea. The
population Of the district is about
800, all, or nearly all, of whom are
interested in mining. There are ten
or II paying mines in the district.
and these are making good money
for their n The deepest shaft
is down but 500 feet. and therefore
the future of the camp is somewhat
in the dark; but all the ex-
perts who have examined the prop.
critics have made most favorable re.
ports and have invariably advised
their employers to invest in the
camp.
at is extremely difficult to get an
estimate of the amount the camp
produces each year, for the owners
are anxious to acquire more proper
ty, and are more apt to depreciate
their claims than to send out exag.
gerated, or even truthful reports.
The camp now has a fine concentra
ting plant, built by St, Louis capt.
al, at a cost of 100000. 1t would
perhaps be safe to place the present
annual output of the camp at $780,
600 ounces of silver, besides some
lead, gold and copper.
FUTURE IS IN COPPER.
at is safe to say that Neihart is
not a high grade camp. The surface
workings have shown high percent
ages of lead, more or less silver, and
a dollar or two in gold. AS depth
il gained, the percentage of silver
increases, while the lead is not so
prominent. AT still greater depth
we find very good copper deposits,
and | am of opinion that the future
of the camp lies in that product.
The deeper we get, the more copper
we find, and l have seen a number
of assays that ran as high as Is per
cent of hat metal."-Minneapolis
