LITTLE PROGRESS.
First Assistant Fire Marshal
Beardsiey investigates
Roqers Pottery Fire.

Columbus, April 25.--First Assistant
Fire Marshal c. H. Beardsley has made
little progress in the investigation of
the fire at the pottery in the village Of
Rogers, Columbiana county. Many of
the citizens of that hamlet believe the
pottery was set on fire and have con-
fided their suspicious to Marshal
Beardsley, who has conducted dill
gent inquiry in the case, but has failed
to secure evidence upon which to make
arrests. The citizens allege promi"
nent people were connected with the
fire, but are unable to back up their
claims with absolute proof. The fire
marshal saw the parties alluded to by
the citizens and took their testimony.
He is inclined to think the suspicious Of
the hamlet folk, insofar as they refer
to the prominent people mentioned, are
unfounded. He will probe deeper into
the matter in the hope of discovering
the actual cause of the confiagration.

Gold Found.

A curious discovery has been made
during the dredging operations at the
mouths Of Morlay and Shoalhaven
Rivers in New South Wales. These
rivers run through an auriferous dis
trict, and at the estuary sand bars and
alluvium are deposited. This obstruc-
ton has to be constantly removed by
dredges in order to allow the channels
Of the rivers to be kept open for ma
vigation. This mud was then taken
out to sea In hoppers and discharged.
A workman one day, impressed by the
curious nature Of the soil, panned lit
tie off, and was surprised to find a
small sediment Of gold dust. He COM
municated his discovery to the authori-
ties, and further investigations proved
that the alluvium was freely charged
with this metal. 1t was therefore de-
cided to extract this gold, and the mud
is now run through an automatic gold
saver before being dumped into the sea.
1t is anticipated that the quantity of
gold recovered by this means will de.
fray the total cost Of the dredging
operations. =

A Sympathetic Memory

In western Massachusetts town
lived a young woman who is blessed
with both discrimination and tact.
The first of these admirable quail

and after a lapse of five or six years
she was united to his only brother, who
was a successful lawyer in New York.

AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

After the din of the battles roar,
Just at the close of day,
Wounded and bleeding upon the field,
Two dying soldiers lay.
One held a ringlet of thin gray hair,
One held lock of brown,
Bidding each other last farewell,
Just as the sun went down.
Chorus:
One thought of mother, at home alone,
Feeble and old and gray;
One of the sweetheart he left in town,
Happy and young and gay,
One kissed ringlet of thin gray hair,
One kissed lock Of brown;
Bidding farewell to the Stars and Stripes
Just as the sun went down.
One knew the joys of mothers love,
One of a sweetheart fair;
Thinking of home, they lay side by side
Breathing a farewell prayer,
One for the mother so old and gray,
One for his love in town,
They closed their eyes to earth and skies
Just as the sun went down.

boy exclaimed. half passionately; "you

No. l do not. Only why do you
not go to her and tell her of your love.
all your pain? She will listen to you
she must listen to you. Bitterness of
ten deprives love of it's joy. and the
first sweet love dream is often blight

should never blame a woman if she
sometimes appears cold. and at other

of the room. Evelyn followed his ex.

who had corrected him.
''Are you sure 1 will not regret speak

What had she not to say? Should she

She knew her fingers closed around his
impulsively with a sudden dread of his
leaving her forever.
"1-have this to say to you'-she
breathed the words slowly-"will you

What had her voice betrayed? She
felt her hands suddenly pressed against
warm. unbearded cheek. and voice
which thrilled her with awe spoke her
name.

he glanced up, she smiled and shook
her head. 81 am ready to listen, Sever
ance; what has life been bringing to
you? Sadness? 1t seems impossible,
you have such bright way of looking

Severance Caulder sighed. "You have
been good friend to me, Evelyn" he
said, thoughtfully.
"And why shouldn't l be?'
why? Because l am wayward and
careless and hot-headed; because l
wound you in a thousand nameless
ways when l don't mean to; because
you are good and sweet, and am wick
ed and restless" He spoke fervently,
but Evelyn only crossed over and laid
her hand upon his arm.
"Hush; you speak foolishly. Tell me
your cares, and let us leave your mis-
erable points out Of the question" /"
smiling down into his serious eyes.
