Last OF the Apples.

After supper when the dishes of he ia
ble'S cleared away
An your conscience tells You soundly
that you've hustled all the day.
Lots of fun TO bring basket of the win
ter apples up
An ter sit a-munchin' Russets with some
cider fer " sup.
Nothin quite so glum an gloomy, nothir
quite so durn forlorn
Es an evening in the sprngtime when
the apples all are gone.
Don't you like ter go down cellar when
the bins are pilin' full
An the cider barrel 5 achin' fer you jus
ter take a pull
When the perfume of the BaldwinS with
the Northern Spies is mixed
An the RusSets in their jackets are Il
sleepin' nicely fixed?
When the suns that Shone last summer
from the golden spheres ooze
An Yer thank yer self an Goodness, yer
can take what Ger yer choose?
Take a winter evenings gath'ring with
the fire on the hearth
An the wind outside Il roarin' an 4
bowling in his wrath,
With q mug of cider warmin' on the
bricks before the fire.
Seems ter me there aint no more that q
Teller could desire
Lest he's sonter gets some apples from
the cellar dark an deep
Where the summer brcathS an SunShines
for the winter evenings keep.
When the children get the popcorn from
the attic high an dry
An you tells Il whopping story that is
fun of laugh an cry
Thems the times you like ter think o;
when you've Travelled far away
An yer life is full Of labor an vel
haven't time ter play.
Nothing mite 50 Glum an gloomy, moth
in quite 50 durn forlorn
Els an evening in the springtirne whei
the apples all are gone.

ROACH
AN OLD
OFFENDER
Sentenced TO Three and a Half
Years in State Prison for
Breaking and Entering.

Patrick Roach, who was indicted for
breaking and entering the shop OF Guisep-
pi riacido and stealing therefrom two
bottles OF cognac, worth f15O; revolver
worth 81; MI cheap cigars. and $3.50 in
cash. was t9ed in Judge Wilbur's court
today.
Mr.. Plscido said his liquor saloon was
at SO South Main street and entrance
was effected throush the cellar and by
means OF cutting a rope that held closed
the door by which beer was put into the
shop.
Then, by lifting fhe trap door or push
ing IL up. the main part OF the saloon was
at the mercy of the intruder
The trap door was tied on the top and
IL must have been pushed up enough TO
cut the string or rope holding IL down.
A knife was found under the door.
1t was on Saturday night, Feb. I'D,
when the break took place and was dis
covered Sunday morning when the pro-
prietor went 10 clean up. All tho prop
erty taken is presumed TO have been re-
covered by the police.
Capt. Magill arrested Roach on suspi-
cion and found the capsule OF a brandy
bottle i'm his pocket. Later. according
TO the same witness, Roach confessed
claiming he had been drinking and did
not know what he was about. 1T was
shown that Roach pleaded guilty in the
district court.
Roach said he bought one bottle of
brandy and he knew nothing OF anything
else he was accused OF taking. lie could
not explain how the box OF cigars got
into the cellar OF the house he lived in.
The jury promptly found Roach guilty.
Judge Wilbur called attention TO the pris-
oner's bad record, he having been SEN
fenced four times for larceny. All Roach
could say was II he was let of easy he
would do better I'm the future.
Judge Wilbur called the prisoners at
tentlon TO the fact that i'm 1898 he was
sentenced to two years I'm prison aud said
the prisoner had had time enough 10 pre-
pare TO do better.
His honor then sentenced Roach 10
three and one half years in states prison
Attorney General Tanner was counsel for
the state and Frank T. Eaton. assigned
by the court, was counsel for Roach.
