the SILENT NILS.

Oh, at at night there's joyful singing
In the ooze and in the slime;
Songs of love again are ringing
Where they rang in Adams time
Where the moonbeams fell at night
Many little heart is light,
Many an eager little lover woos away,
And the breezes whisper low
As they did long. long ago
But the millers who were dusty, where arc
they:
Oh. the willows still are leaning
Where the water glides along
As if to catch the meaning
OF the never-ending song,
And the feecy clouds above
Seem to melt with very love
OF the. valleys that grow ereener day by
day.
But the wheels go round no more
That were musical before,
And the millers who were dusty where are

From the fountains in the hills,

Ger the dams beside the mills
Where the wheels are red with rust.
Being silenced by the trust,
Where the shingles are succumbing to de-

Where they've broken down the doors,
Where there's trash upon the floors
And the millers who were dusty, where are

Oh, the young drake on the water
Is endeavoring to make
An impression on the daughter

They go swimming on the dam.

She little shy. yet still inclined to stay,
Full of hopes and nameless fears

FURY OF A WOMAN scoRNEp.
Bride of Seven Weeks Reveals the
Criminal Career of Nesectfui
Husband

Pueblo, Colo. Nov. Mrs. Lizzie
Myrley, pretty little woman, twenty
years of age. and bride of seven
weeks. tells startling story about her
husband, who is now under arrest Ac-
cording to the woman's story her hus-
band is forger. whose operations
have extended throughout several
cities.
He was apprehended by the police
under peculiar circumstances Friday
last under the name of Joseph Meyers
He reported to the police that his wife
was missing and with her $400 in cash
and $3.50 diamond He stated that he
did not care particularly about the
woman, but would like to have the
jewelry and money returned.
The next day the woman appeared
at the police station and stated that
she had been flying from her husband
to escape his cruelty. which had been
practiced upon her since the day of
their marriage in Jefferson City. Mis-
souri,, September 10th last On the
strength of the story that she told the
police the husband was arrested and
is being held awaiting investigation of
the wife's story.
Mrs. Myrley says that she married
days. and that the Saturday night fol-
lowing the wedding he forced her to
sign several checks with the names he
gave her. She declares that while in
Chicago he raised money by this means
and also operated as a forger in ST.
Louis.
Her story is substantiated by the
fact that when Myrley was searched by
the police stamping outfit was found
on his person and among his effects
were numerous blank checks and a
number of DISCUSSES, indicating that he
had spent portion of his time in
evading officers of the law. Since his
arrest he has told conflicting stories
and the police are convinced that they
have notorious forger in custody.
She states that she signed more than
twenty checks which Myrley had
brought to her, made out for sums
from $25 to $40. and after taking
checks away he would come nome with
pocketful of money He would also
obtain furniture and other valuable
goods on the installment plan and then
sell the goods.

SWEPT BY FLAMES.
ST. Pierre, Miquelon, Suffers Loss OF
S5ooooo and Is Almost obliter-
ated by WIDESPREAD Fire.

St Johns n F., Nov. 2.-The town
of st. Pierre, Miquelon. has been de-
vastated by fire. A destructive con-
tlagration started last night and swept
the main portion of the town. The
governors house. the government
buildings. the court house, the build
ings occupied by the ministry of ma
rine, the Roman Catholic cathedral,
the Presbyterian church, the schools
and a number of other buildings were
destroyed.
1t has not yet been learned how
the fire originated. There was no wind
last night. else the entire town would
probably have been completely oblit-
Grated.
Even as 1t is. the extent OF the dis
aster is very far-reaching and the
financial loss will probably reach halt
a million dollars.
There was no loss of life or serious
accident. The rapid spread of the con-
liagration was due to the trifling water
supply and to the fact that St Pierre
has no adequate tire-fighting appli-
ances.
The town of st. Pierre has been
partly burned down three times before
in 1865, 1867 and 1879.
