poem IF | But Could a short poem sug-
gested, Crawford says, by the miners
strike in Pennsylvania:
If I could clothe each ieweled thought
That comes to me in Natures bowers,
In classic language such as taught
Away from the western woods and flow
er5;
If I could sing the sweet refraips
That in my soul in silence cluster,
From many heart I'd strike the chains,
And give the star of hope new lustec
If could scatter all the gems
That light my soul in darkened places,
Could pluck the hope-buds from their
stems
And wreathe them o. er Respondent faces;
If | but had the power to stay
The Dlighting hand of pain ard sorrow,
The human flowers that wilt today
Would raise their heads and bloom to-
morrow.
If from the Masters hand above
To me the longed-for power was given
To change all bitterness to love,
OF every earthly hell make Heaven,
The lowering clouds would quickly flee
Before the light that followed after,
And every wave of life's broad sea
Would beam with Love, and Song and
Laughter.

Challengers Make Trouble in
Leavenworth Voting.


Leavenworth, Kas., Nov 4-There
was considerable trouble and voting was
delayed at the four soldiers home pre-
cincts this forenoon over the presence
of Democratic challengers. Two Demo-
cratic workers from the city had been
stationed at each precinct and when
it was demonstrated that they were go
ing to challenge and compel every vet
eran to swear in his vote, the old SOL
diers became mad and elected most of
the challengers from the voting rooms
In couple of instances challengeis
were thown out and bruised UP. Poll
ticians and lawyers from the CITY
learned of the trouble and drove out
The Democrats insisted on the right OF
the challengers to be inside, and they
succeeded in shutting off voting at all
four Of the precincts over an hour
Backed by deputy sheriffs, the Demo-
Gratis threatened to arrest all the mem
bers Of the election boards and take
them TO ian
Republicans seeing that this would end
all the voting counSeled the veterans TO
permit two challengers in a precinct.

The largest pickerel ever caught with
rod and reel, SO far as any record shows,
was taken from Hamlin Lake, Mich, re-
Gently by a party of Chicagoans. 1t
weighed 25% pounds. two hours after be-
ing landed, and was trife under four
feet long. Alfred Richon, T. C. Sheldon
and Mr.. Zeiss, who are stopping at Ham
lin Lake. took their boat into the north
bayou of the lake to cast for bass. Mr.
Richon after few casts with Worden
bucktail, hooked the big fellow, and then
began struggle for the supremacy. The
pickerel was full Of fight, not unusual to
pickerel in those waters, and it was near
ly, an hour before Mr. Richon could bring
his prize near enough to the boat to de-
termine it's species. 1t took the combined
efforts of the three fishermen to land the
fish in the boat. .-. .. :. ...r-... :.
= There were hundreds of old fishermen in
the vicinity, and all agreed that never be-
fore had they heard of a pickerel of this
size and weight being landed with

Michigan, declares it the biggest fish of
its kind ever caught with any kind Of

forty bass, gone to the house, picked about
half a gallon of Strawberries, made a

enjoying themselves, without the slightest
need of assistance from us, or any one.
Well, we loafed and took life easy till
evening, when we sailed out to take just
few more big ones. But we didn't get
to water that night. About half a mile
from Louie's we had to pass through a
piece Of old chopping, in the center Of
which great up-rooted pine reared
it's gigantic roots twenty feet in the air,
the cavity left in the ground being filled
by morning glories, wild peas and other
creeping vines always used by nature to
cover scars on the earth's face.
Rescuers Treed.
In this tangle one Of Louie's cows had
hidden new born calf, and just as we
came in sight timber wolf had sighted
the "wobbly calf and was doing his
ugly best to get it.. The mother was
standing him off bravely, though bleeding
from several ugly gashes of his teeth,
but 1t was plain that Lupus was bound to
win unless help came speedily, SO we
broke into a run, drawing our 32's and
rushed to the rescue. But as Lupus heard
u.s. and turned to run, one OF the creep
ers caught his foot, held him second,
and pinned him to the ground. She shook
him loose, and we finished him with the
little guns" and thereafter came up the
BULL who, mistaking the state of affairs,
put us up the tree roots, and kept us
there till one of the dogs responded to
Louies persistent calls, and hunted him
away. And we had had fun enough for
one day. So We went home -.
