SINS OF OMISSION.

II isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That gives you a bit Of a heartache,
At the setting OF the sun.
The tender word forgotten;
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send. dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much TO say;
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone
Which you had no time nor thought for
With troubles enough Of your own.
Those. little acts OF kindness
So eas silly out Of mind,
Those chances TO be angels
Which we poor mortals find,
They come in night and silence.
Each sad, reproachful wrath,
When hope Is faint and Tagging,
And chill has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short, dear
And sorroW is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And IL isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit Of heartache
At the setting Of the sun.

big lazy Lummixes were stand

The Modern Fable of the Single
Handed Fight for Per-
sonaI Liberty.


A Traveller landed in a Blue
law Town one Sunday morn
ing and found it as dead as a
Mackerel. There were only two
Horses hitched at the Square
and in every Window the Cur
tains were down.
"Why and wherefore this
funeral Hush ?" he inquired of
the Hotel Clerk.
"The Sunday-Closers have
been at work." replied the
Clerk. ''You can't get a Nip
today for Love or Money"
"I can't, can't I?' demanded
the Traveller, Indignantly. ''Do
the Enemies of Personal Lib
erty think that they can de-
prive me of my just Rights"
Not on your Dreamy Eyes.
Watch me-"
He cut for an Alley and be-
gan trying every Back Door.
He would rap three times on a
Bluff and say ''It's me-" but
there was nothing doing.
However, he was not to- be
thwarted. In the absence of
the Blind Pig and the Speak
Easy, he fell back on the Pre-
scription Gag. Inquiring his
way, he walked s Blocks to a
PHYSICIANS Residence and
caught the Doe just as he was
starting to Church. He gave
Doe the K. P. Grip and begged
him to save Life. He said he
had Cramps and nothing bat a
large Slug of the Scandinavian
Joy-Producer would relieve his
Agony. Doc wrote: "Spirits
Fermenti-take as directed"
and said it would come to One
Dollar.
Then the Sufferer went. out
to find a Drug Clerk. After a
long Search he found Mr.. Hig-
gibson of the Peoples Phar-
macy, down at Main Street
Bridge, pushing a Baby Car
riage. At first the Druggist
baked on opening up but the
Traveller said he was a Dying
Man and handed over a good
ten-cent Cigar.
At 2 P. NJ. he went back to
the Hotel wearing in his Pistol
Pocket a Flask of Squirrel
Whiskey, the color of Kerosene.
He was flushed and happy, for
he had made a Monkey of the
Law. He invited two other
Drummers UP to 60. They
pulled down the Curtains and
tapped the Poison and nobody
could talk for 5 Minutes.
Two Months later the same
Traveller struck the Town one
Sunday and found a Baseball
Team giving a Parade.
Everything is wide open
since the April Election" said
the Clerk. 81 can get you what
ever you want.
Cali right" was the Reply.

MORAL: Thirst follows the
Prohibition Clause.
The Modern Fable of the Unfortu-
nate Has-5een and the Sym.
pathetic Conductor.
In an open-faced Car sat a
glib Person and a decrepit Old
Gentleman with haggard and
sorrowful Frontispiece.
The two dropped into a Con-
versation and soon began OPEN
ing up their Private Affairs,
according to the Western Fash
ion. The glib Party told how
much he was drawing and how
he invested it and all about sew
eral gigantic Schemes that he
had under his Cuff. The An
tique with the pall-bearing
Face did not enthuse.
"Young man, you will learn
that Life is a series of wasted
Opportunities and vain Re-
grets," he said. "When you are
all in and a new Generation
comes along and gives you
good swift Bump and you light
on your Back over by the
Fence, then you can lie there
and look up at the Sky and
count the Good Things that got
past you"
With that, the broken-heart-
ed Patriarch sprang a lonely
Bundle of Hard Luck Tales.
He pointed out a Corner Lot
now valued at a Half Million
that had been offered to him
for $3.50. Once he had been
given a Chance to trade a Sec
ond-hand Buggy for a half-in-
terest in a Patent that Melted a
couple of Thousand each day.
The Stock in the Street Rail-

Team of Mules. If I hadn't
been all kinds of a Ninny, I
could have got in on the
Ground Floor of the Standard
Oil. And now I'm getting too
old and weak to kick myself"
At the next Corner the an
cient Wreck alighted and tot
tered on his Way.

tor. Chow bitter must be his

MAN FELL THIRTY FEET
Workman Is Injured i'm Tearing
Down Old City Mills.

Yesterday afternoon j. P. Jones, man
81 years old. while working on the top Of
wall OF the old City Mills, fell thirty
feet and was knocked senseless. Other
than severe bruises and a battered nerv-
GUS system, however, the injured man de-
clared to a reporter for the Eagle that
he was all right. Everybody has been
declaring that some one would be hurt
by the old ruins, and it has come true.
The accident was caused by the giving
way Of the third floor. When reporter
climbed up inside the old mills his legs
shook and he vividly felt himself falling
to the floor beneath. The floors feel like
wet pasteboard paper. All the rafters
with black visages, give one the impress
sion that they are about to leap down
on 10 him. The burnt insides of the old
City Mills are intensely awful. A person
fears to look around lest he jar wall
over on him. The outer walls are as solid
as when they were put up, many years
ago
MIR. Jones was working on the west
wall. He was up on a ladder, which
rested on the third floor. That part Of
the floor on which the end of the ladder
rested suddenly gave way, and the lad
der shot down through and swung the
top through the air, striking it against
the third floor When Mr.. Jones felt the
floor give he grabbed the ladder and hung
on tin the top struck the third floor. This
knocked him of. and he struck on the
back Of his head and shoulders in a pile
of rocks. nails and timbers.
His son and +. Y. McManus, who was
working with him. climbed down TO where
Jones lay, found him lying unconscious.
With water he was restored and had his
bruises and sights cuts dressed The in
cident caused some excitement on East
Douglas avenue, as it was reported Jones
had been crushed TO death by falling
wall
The work of tearing down the old land
mark has been going on now for five days
and II viii be a month. Mr. John Mahan
says. before the whole structure is lev
eled TO the earth. He says business rea-
sons compel them to let the first story
stand for three or four more weeks. This
will be after the building has been torn
down below the danger line.
There was a report 70 the effect that the
Aahan Bros. do not intend TO tear the
building clear down. but that they would
use the first story on their new hotel.
Mr. Mahan said yesterday that this re-
port was not true He said ne would
have liked to have used these walls. but
felt the city was looking for something
better.
