In Memorian1.

Once again it becomes our pain
full duty to chronicle the death Of
one Of our Oldest pioneers and
me st respected citizens. John
Ar am departed this life on Monday
last, Sept. 30, aged "A years, 5
me enths, aud 4 dayg. Ever since
18b3 Ar. Aram has resided on the
thd weil-known Aram homestead
adloinias, Gran ceyille on the south.
He came here from Oregon when
Ga mas Prairie was but q
virgin wild, fresh from the hands
Of nature, and with far-seeing pru-
dehce determined to make his
home hefs. For several years he
engaged in packing into the placer
mining camps in the adjacent
mountains, and by degrees inn
proved his farm and added TO his
herds, always holding the respect
AMI esteem Of lbs fellow citizens,
and living the lie of an honest and
God fearing man. He IS, so faf rs
knbwn, the s1le surviving charter
member Of Mt Idaho lodge Of No 3.
A. +. Il A II and he was buried
by that otaet on tuesday last, tie
funeral eorteee being unusually
lar d. showing the general respect
in which the deceased was held by
his neigbbors and friends
Dne son and veral married
daughters survive, with the widow
to mourn the death of q repeet q
ami honoied sire. SOME six years
ago his eldest son, Tom, was

very retiring disposition and though
FREE Huently asked to serve the pub

the county government, he would

az tism and was rarely seen on the
streets Thus one by one pass to

Of the wilderness and made it hab-
table for those OF us who follow
the footsteps Of the pioneers. It is
sad that death is the great enemy
of our race, but nneef certain
circumstances this is net
true. When the young, vigorous,
am bilious and hopeful are stricken

Of a great artist; but when life's

 ssWhy, yes; he ate five within a few minutes last week." the boy replied.
 The three lawyers who represented Johnny were ntheir feet in an instant, demanding of the court to know what mince pie had to do with Johnny Foehl being injured by a trolley car. They wanted this portion of the testi- mony stricken out.
 ''Well," declared counsel for the troll ley company, "any boy who can eat five mince pies at one sitting is not very much of an invalid. ;
 The court admitted the mince pie testimony. Having got into the case, the pies remained to finish.
 Counsel for the plaintiff wanted to bring witnesses to prove the pies were small five cent ones. They were will ing to send for a pie to show the jury. The railway company's lawyers con ceded that the pies were small, but contended that even so no invalid could eat five of them. .
 When allrof the testimony was in the court, relieving the jury, declared that Johnny Foehl had not made out a case. The mince pie testimony had been fatal +ci+

THE NIGHTINGALE

 As I walked out by moonlight, somewhere 'twixt twelve and three, The country's blessed silence was more sweet than sleep to me; The fields that lay breast-deep in mist be- meath the magic moon Were like the drowsy waters of far away dragoon; And through chain of melting grays be- heath the sky's gray-blue Ehe birch's silver met the velvet blackness of the yew.
 Then from the distant copse Showered in liquid drops The music of the nightingale in ecstasy apart: 70 love of minei O love of minei O give me all your heart?' As walked out by moonlight came where the river went; 1t shook the stars in its foamy depths, and tine stars were all content; And if you looked long downward from the bridge, as I looked now, The foam was shaking blossom on a laden almond bough, And the river was an orchard with faces peeping through, And all the faces had great eyes, and all the eyes saw you; And louder and more strong Came the compelling song, From the bird must-ba-loved that sate in ecstasy apart: 70 love of mine! O love of mine! give me all your heart!' And not a thing was real again until the moon went down And near in scattered spangles lay the gas-lights of the town; And high-stacked hay-carts crushed the 1ints or ever the yellow broke Over the gray of the quiet sky and the factory chimney's smoke. And there's little time for love, for love, and we steal from loves sweet night; We toll too soon and we toll too late, and in this world ~nothing's right, Only while our masters sleep and we wan der by moonlight, And hear, faint, far away, At the near dawn of day, The swooning song of love from those dark copses start: 70 love of minel o love of minel give thee all my hearti', Barry Pain, in Black and White.

 MY WIFE had gone from the coun- lVI try place. where we were spend- ing the summer to visit some distant relatives of hers in New Jersey whom I had never even seen. This left me lonely, and I ran up to town for day or so, and camped out in our deserted house onsthe avenue. The first evening I dired with my friend Seoul. at Orr's, where one may always see a pleasant crowd. We were sitting over our cof- fee when I first saw at table near the mysterious woman.
 She was everything smart, and stun ming, and sweet. regarded her with undisguised delight.
 Then paused with compunction. My emotion was transcending that merely cordial friendliness which is the duty of superior men toward love 1y women.
 I love my wife. love her both pas sionately and with the more placid and enduring affection born of mutual sympathy and respect. Perhaps her adaptabiIity is her chief charm. Any how, she is always just that which I desire-sometimes a saint, sometimes informed with diablerie, often the cul- tured lady of varied accomplishments and wide learning, often the tenderest of dear, helpful women. In fine, she is ever all that is delicious to me-to eyes, ears and soul. She permits me to admire other women-indeed, she can afford to do so. leone home, I de-

LONGEVITY OF LITERARY MEN
Authors Have Equal Chances with Others to Reach a Ripe old
 Age.

' The general idea that literary pro- duction of high order is hostile to long life by reason of the nervous wear and tear 1t necessitates would seem to be erroneous Scott wore himself out at the age of 61 by excessive work, and Dickens, no doubt, lived at too high pressure-possibly the same might be said of Thackeray-bu in the great majority of cases literary men pos sess that balance which avoids nervous exhaustion, and the literary life is wholesome and normal one. In our own country the average life of 29 leading writers, from Jonathan Ed wards down, is 66 years. In nearly every case, too, their productive pow CTS have remained unimpaired by old age. The short life of Edgar Allan Poe is, of course, not to be attributed to the fact that he was a writer, but to the nervous worry resulting from false pride and shame at being unable to resist temptation. Bayard Taylor broken by exposure in the civil war.
 Dr. Holmes and Whittier enjoyed the longest lives of any of our writers, each passing his eighty-slxth birth day. Emerson, Longfellow and Bryant lived long and tranquil lives, and very few-perhaps not one-of American literary men shortened their lives by excessive devotion to their natural pursuit. The lives of great American writers are longer than those of their English counterparts by nearly four years, though two of the Englishmen Carlyle and Newman-lived longer than anyone of the Americans.
 The living American writers who seem to have done enough to entitle them to admission to our literary Val halla are: Henry James, Bret Ha2te, Howells, Donald Mitchell, Weir Nit chell, Stedman, Stoddard, Aldrich, Fiske, Cable and Clemens. They av- craze now 65 years old.

ATE FIVE MINCE PIES.
Act of GIuttony Which Ruined a Boy,s Damage Suit Against a
 Street Railway. .

Johnny Foehl ate five mince pies at one sitting, and this little feast, says the Philadelphia North American, cost him exactly $5,ooo. His suit against the Camden and Suburban Railway company for that amount for injuries sustained in being pushed from car was progressing favorably to him the other day in the Camden court. Half dozen doctors had sworn that he was an invalid as the result of the accident, when Willie Brewer, one of Johnny's witnesses, in his rambling testimony, told of Johnny's love for pies.
 Counsel for the trolley company saw glimmer of hope in this.

 Morpheus, more potent than Cupid, had set me dozing, when I heard the noise of persons ascending my front steps. Before I was fully awake, feet were trampIng in the hallway. I could hear an indistinct murmur of voices. l was beset by burglars. Doubtless they were so daring because they believed the house to be unten- Rnted. I had no weapon except my walking stick. It would have been fol ly to combat them single-handed. I determined to secrete myself and to remain hidden until their departure, then would follow and cause their ar rest.
 In an instant I was out of bed and into my slippers, trousers and coat. I bestowed myself in an obscure corner behind a wardrobe and waited in some trepidation, for my situation was not ] without hazard.
 After a long interval I heard foot steps approaching my bedroom. lis tened, and ascertained that only one person was coming. The door opened and the burglar en- tered the room. I heard the splutter of match, and then the sudden gas light set me blinking.
 For little time all remained quiet, and at last gathered enough of bold ness to advance my head for purposes of observation. I observed, and forth with fell against the wardrobe, phys ically and mentally unbalanced by the shock.

 She was standing in the center of the chamber, staring in bewildered fash ion at the rumpled bed, which plainly suggested recent occupancy. I could just catch the gleam of her golden eyes as they lighted her charming profile.
 Those golden eyes moved and rested on the collar and cravat that had unsuccessfully thrown at the dressing table. As watched her the puzzled expression changed to one of inte1li- her voice and cried:

 My involuntary change in position was noisily made.

 Immediately this chameleon lady sat her down on the edge of the bed, where she gurgled and choked with laughter. stood by and gazed at her in half sulky, contented amazement, from time to time stealing glance to ad- mire the new arrangement of the hair; the emphasized fairness of the skin beneath the short, black veil; the added depth of the changing eyes, shaded by the wide, bending hat brims the 1.-the Alissom figure. outlined bygthe nfamifiar gown.
