In the woodland the brown leaves are
falling
From the sting Of autumn's fatal frost;
And the squirrel to its mate is calling
Like squirrel that its mate has lost
In the woodland summer scenes are dy-
ing
Where the pink and violot once did
bloom
Now the dead and faded leaves are lying
Round and about them as their solemn
tomb.
In the woodland the wind is murm' ring
low
Where parting summer faiu would
linger long,
And the branches are waving to and fro
To the echo of the thrush's farewell
song.

The Fur Carriers Adventure.
RY w. BERT FOSTER,


Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
''This yere Maine, said the old
man, who sat tipped back In crazy
armchair on the shady side of the
house, sucking the blacklist of corn
cobs, This yere Maine amt what it's
cracked up to be for game, nowadays.
But you tellers from taown come up
her, git er crack at er Jfm-buck er
two, an think you're havin' sport.
Talk erbout huntinn"
He snorted, and Chevier, who likes
to jolly the natives along, and could
get more information out of we'll
sweep than most men can from
college professor, offered the old set
tier his bag of "cut-plug" and at once
they two began to get chummy.
"Oh, of coarse, twas poachin',"
heard the old fellow say, and he spat
emphatically. you was askin' erbout
the Allegash waters. Them useter be
good huntin' an trappin' territory
wen 1 was younger. How? Take it
thirty year ergo-even twenty year
back. They're purity now, an good
fishin' an there's some game; but 1
took seventy otter pelts out er that
string of upper ponds in four weeks
one winter, an otter skins was with
fifteen dollars them days.
mo, l wasn't maxim a business of
poachin'. l had shack up there an,
as say, in four weeks l sailed down
them seventy skins. But l only set
six traps, and wouldn't have been
there to tend them only we had a
monstrous run of bad weather an l
couldn't tend to regular business. 1
was a fur carrier. Yaas, 1 smuggled
the pelts through for other fellers, as
you say.
THAT very wint0r-'twas long err
bout February, and l knowed there
was big storm due mighty quick

closest call 1 ever had. For a few
moments. Mister, l reilly thought old
Gabriel had got his cornet tuned up
for me, an no mistake! An wen We
come ter figger on it, there amt sech
a great dif'rence 'twixt gettin' killed
outright an bein' scared most ter
death-an' that lasts what happened
ter me that trip.
This yere happened jest after l
got that run of otter / was tellin' We
of-seventy skins, ev'ry one of 'em
beauties. 1 picked up a big sled load
an when l started up Churchill Lake
early in the mornin' an my shack was
wiped out O. sight by a bresh pint,
the old sled creaked along over the
Ice as though she felt the weight But
there wasn't any snow to speak of on
the river, so she run erlong kinder

Il stopped here an got er bite of

But wen the moon rose there was a

EGGS HAD GONE TO SMASH.
Why One Should Not Sit Down in the
Dark on a Commuters Train.

Why One Should Not Sit Down in the
Dark on a Commuters Train.
The train had just pulled cut of the
Erie station in Jersey City. A large,
stout man, who had seated himself in
the smoking car, changed his mind
just as the train entered the tunnel,
and he started to get a seat in one of
the other coaches.
In the coach he entered were many
commuters carrying home household
supplies in packages: The majority
carried their purchases in their arms,
but some of them had laid their bun
dies beside them:
The stout man did not hesitate a
moment as to where he would sit, and,
it being very dark in the tunnel, he
just took chance and sat down any
where. When he did sit down crash
ing sound was heard throughout the
car.
Just as the train passed out of the
tunnel the passengers in the coach
were very much surprised to see the
stout man standing in the center OF
the car, his trousers spattered with
broken eggs He was In a rage and
was swearing.
A glimpse at the seat beside an
elderly man who was loaded down
with parcels told the tale. The stout
man had sat on couple of dozen eggs
that had been placed on the seat.
All the passengers sympathized with
the stout man. The elderly man next
the broken eggs just looked on and
never said a word.
The stout man stared hard at him,
and evidently suspected him of being
the owner of the eggs. He approached
him and said:
Who owns those COMPOUNDED eggs
Do you own them7"
NO, sirl Know nothing about
them" answered the elderly man.
This answer left the stout man moth
ing to do but keep cool, as he could
not prove that the elderly man was
the owner of the eggs. The conductor
came upon the scene at this juncture,
and cleaned the seat as best he could.
The stout man decided to stand up for
the rest of his journey, and when he
left the train at Paterson he shook
his fist at>the elderly man.-New York

.CAC|NET At WORK ON TITLES
France Must Confirm Title to Pan
ANA Route.
FRANCE IS WILLING TO ACT.

Washington, July 3.-The cabinet
was engaged at the suggestion Of Sec
rotary Hay, in the preparation of meas
ures to carry out the terms of the 18TH
milan canal law. The government
must determine the sufficiepcy of the
title that can be conveyed TO the uni
ted States by the Panama Canal COM
pany; a treaty must be negotiated with
Columbia comforting the necessary
rights, and a technical commission
must he appointed to carry on the ae-
tual work of construction.
1t was decided to refer the matter of
title to the attorney general, it being
purely legal question and recourse
may be had by the latter to the French
courts to secure from some high trib-
unal satisfactory affirmation of the
suficiency of title, as the interests in
volved are too great to base the title
upon the mere opinion of an individual
lawyer, either French or American.
The attorney general may attempt,
however, to secure from the French
government, directly through the
chamber of deputies, in all proba bility,
some legislative declaration which
shall have the force of law and effectu-
ally affirm the legality of the acquisi-
ton of the canal property to the Uni
ted States. 1t will be necessary for
the attorney general to send to France
some thoroughly competent person,
who can, if need be, retain local French
talent to aid in his work. The Dame
of Assistant Attorney Russell has been
suggested as well qualified for such a
post and some or all of the members Of
the isthmian canal commission may go
to Paris. There is some reason to be-
lieve that, while no formal assurances
have been passed, the French govern
ment has managed to let it be known
to the president that it is willing to do
everything that is necessary to quiet
| this question of title.

CoIloquy with Bad Debtor.
What is known as the Bellevue
cafe set" is reported as shrieking
with laughter over the retort given
a pretentious young man who is rid
den by a fallacy that his lager-beer
income is sufficient to indulge his
champagne thirst, as it were. He
manages, by considerable exertion, to
dress the part, but has not yet found
a tailor willing to give him his
clothes. One fashionable outfitter
dunned him until his 1andlady showed
signs of rebellion against answering
the doorbell. He managed to raise
the necessary amount, left word that
the collector should be admitted on
the next visit, and, handing over the
money in exchange for the recelpted
bill, said loud enough to be heard
three flights up:
There's your money! And now
will you mind telling me, if you can,
what in the devil your employer
meant by sending you here eighteen
times to collect his petty little &C
count?"
I'm not sure, sir" replied the col
lector, respectfully; ''but it may be
because seventeen calls failed to eff
feet a payment. Thank you, sir.

She Didn't Want Any Advice from
Her Private Secretary.
The queens interest in and over
sight of public affairs did not cease
with the princes death, although, in
the first years of overwhelming sor-
row, it must have been difficult to
carry out her conception of duty. All
important resolutions were taken by
her; the personal notes in the court
circular" were written by her own
hand, and were seen by no one else.
When Sir Henry Ponsonby became
the queens private secretary, she
said to him: Remember this: No
advice! 1 am older than you are and
have had more experience"
In after years historians will have
much to say upon the queens per-
sonal share in the government of her
dominions. All her papers have been
most carefully preserved and ar
ranged, and some day perhaps Will be
accessible to the inquirer. On the
other hand, there is not single pa
per belonging to George Ill. which is
known to be in existence.-Prof. Os-

The Greatest Oil Well.

The greatest oil spouter of the Rus
sian petroleum district was struck
few months ago about eight miles
southwest of Baku. The well was
bored to a depth of 1900 feet before
oil was reached. Then, for nearly
three days it sent out oil at the rate
of 100000 barrels day, and continued
thereafter to flow at a diminishing
rate until it had produced over 2.000,-
600 barrels. The owners lost money,
for the we'll could not be controlled,
much adjacent property being dam
aged by the oil that escaped.
