SEPTEMB Der.

Sir Goldenrod stands by and grieves
Where Queen September goeth by;
Her vieWless feet disturb the leaves.
And with her south the thrushes fly,
Or loiter mid the rustling sheaves.
And search and fail, and wonder why
The burgher cat tails stif1y bow
Beside the marsh. The asters cast
Their purple coronets, and below
The brown fern shivers in the blast
And all the fretted pool aglow
Repeats the cold. clear yellow sky.
The dear, loved summer DAYS are past.
And tranquil gees the Queen to die.

The Presidents Table.

The president pays for all he eats,
as well as all his family and his
friends eat while under his roof All
the expense of public entertainings, as
far as the table is concerned, comes
out of his own pocket, and this mounts
into thousa Ids of dollars per annum.
He has his private conservatory filled
with choice eXotics and he never has
to hire a band TO play at his dinner
parties or receptions, as the Marine
band is always at his disposal. Mrs
Roosevelt is also privileged to draw Oh
the conservatory for flowers and on
the Marine band for music whenever
she wishes TO give a tea or luncheon.
Nevertheless, as the president is re
quired to give number Of state din
ners each season to the cabinet, the
supreme court, the diplomats and
others, and is frequently called upon
to entertain distinguished guests, his
bills for this are very high and make
big hole in his income Some day,
no doubt, this expense will be borne
by the government, as these functions
are of a strictly official character
The presidents table in private life
is well supplied, but no more expen-
sively than that Of the ordinary we'll

BADLY INJURED.
Old Man Falls From Burlington Train
East Of Billings.

The section men at Peritsa, about
"a miles east of Billings, on the Bur-
nngton road, while going out over
their section Thursday morning found
a man lying beside the railroad track
badly injured. The man was picked up
and placed on a handcar and taken
to Grow agency, some 20 miles away,
where he was placed under the care
OF DIR. A. +. Merriwether, the govern
ment physician.
When found the man was uncon-
scious and remained in that condi-
ton until late that afternoon. On
being questioned by DR.. Merriwether
he stated that his name was ]. j.. Kar-
stems, and that he had fallen from
one of the Burlington excursion trains.
He had a ticket from Denver to Walla
Walla, Wash. He wes brought to
Billings yesterday morning. and is now
at st. Vincent's hospital. His injur-
les consist Of a Broken left leg, two
broken ribs and several minor injur-
les, besides a paralysis Of the mus
cles of the left eyelid. The man, who
is about IS years of age, gave his oc-
cupation as that of a cabinet maker,
but nothing was learned regarding
his home, relatives or friends. The
attending physician does not believe
that his injuries will prove fatal, al
though the old gentleman has not re-
covered from the shock.
