The Bells of Shandon.
With deep affection and recollection
often think of those Shandon bells,
Whose sounds so wild would in the days
of childhood
Fling round my cradle their magic
spells.
On this ponder, where'er wander,
And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of
thee;
With thy bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
have heard bells Ginning full many a
cline in,
Tolling sublime in cathedral shrine:
While at glib rate brass tongues would
vibrate,
But all their music spoke naught like
thine;
For memory dwelling on each proud
swelling
Of thy belfry kneeling its bold notes
free,
Made the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
l have heard bells tolling "old Adrian's
MOLE in,
Ihelr thunder rolling from the vatican,
And cymbals glorious, swinging uproari-
Gus,
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame;
But thy sounds were sweeter than the
dome of Peter
Filings DER the Tiber. pealing solemnly.
o! the bells of Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.
There's bell in Moscow, while on tower
and kiosko
In st. Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud in air calls men to prayer
From the tapering SUBMITS of tall min
arets.
Such empty phantom I freely grant
'em,
But there's an anthem more dear to me:
'Tis the bells of Shanden,
That sound more grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee.

The Fate That Overlook Moves, Wood ard Frost.
THE LAST ATTEMPT
Harry Blake, Formerly of Nome,
 Appears With an Affidavit I3,ooo Words Long, In Which He Fin. '.deavors to Help Moves and Frost.

Arthur II. Moves fined Il. 900: Joseph K. Wood sentenced to four months in iail: c. A. s. Frost sentenced to F months in the Alameda county iail in Oakland, California, for contempt oi thc United States court of appeals.
 This seems toehaye been the punish ment meted out tu Moves, Wood and Frost, according to adviees received by A.F. Zipf, agent of the Northern Com mercial Company at St. Michael. and hy him forwarded 10 Nome. NIr. Zipis letter makes no mention of T. J. Geary. aud 1t is possible that he may have escaped the wrath of the court.
 Previous to receiving their sentences Judge Noyes an'l Attorney Frost made voluininOus attempt to discredit the testimony given by Attorneys Nelson and Hume, introducing for the pur- pose tho affidavit of II. L. Blake.
 A San Francisco despatch says that when the circuit court met on Decem. 'her 2, Attorney Heney, for Moves, also asked permission to submit brief GOV ering law points involved. but Judge Morrow refused, saying that the argu- luentS had already been submitted to rhe judges. The court adjourned until December l6.
 Judge Morrow was much annoyed at the contents of Blake's affidavit, which had been filed without being read. It Is story of l5,OO0 words CT more of the ataant's experiences in Alaska since 1897, the attacks on Metson and others being principally by inference. The judge intimated that he was rot sure hut that he would throw it out alto gether.
 Affiant Blake tells in the affidavit Of hcw he came to go to Alaska; e dwells on the many people there whom he be- ,friended, and who afterward, according
The Nome nugget., 1902-03-05

10 his story, repaid him with inora(i- tnde. He alleges that h,s partners told him that Nelson was employed to look after their joinl interests, and when he went to him later for advice he was informed by the attorney that he was also retained by the otber side. Another charge was that his mining associate, Chris Kimber. told him that he had been indu ed by Nelson to sign bill of sale to his interests on Anvil creek through the attorneys showing him deed signed by the atdanj. This paper if it existed, vas q forgery. he says He alleges his belief that Nelson gave (. F. MelSing S20O to sign an a;ll- davit denying the fact, set up IT q tor- mcr one, which named Blake as the locator of the Anvil creek claims.
 He saw slip in the Pioneer Mining Company's case, wherein he says Met. son charged :5o0 as paid to Melsiug, and insinuated that the other 330O went into the attorneys pocket. He also alleges that Met-on told him 10 beware of Hume. Cnited States Commissioner l.. B. Shepard, at St. Michael. the af- liant alleges, said to him: i've are net mp here Tor our health, and you may tell these people who have jumped the c aims If they are willing to grease the wheels of justice it will Le 10 lLeir ad- vantage He alleges that Attorney \. r. F. Hatch was free with the sane snvire, and himself made q proposition to Wilson and Con. ptoio that If they would divide their claim, up between him and Shepard the latter would give them decision.
 Dr. A. x. kittelsen, he alleges, made Il practice Of keeping o.anH pages in hlo mining record, 50 that when good claim vas located one of these pages would be utilized ny favored oues to h.e q location notice antedating the genu- inc location. Hume, he says, wanted to be judge at Nome, and told Blake that he was coming out 10 knock" Judge Moves, and wanted letters from the at1iant to use as u lever on Senator Perkins 10 secure the judgeship.
 Blake says he was the original dis cOverer oi the Nome mining claims, but that in his absence the men known d. the "Sw edes" went over and located the claims on the various creeks.

SHE USED THE Triple.
Bridget Thought She Was Using the
Chamois and Made bad
Work of 1t.

There is prominent doctor in Ger
mantown who is busy telling a little
joke on himself, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. 1t appears that he
employed an Irish servant, who had
just arrived from the "ould sod" Start
ing out one morning, he noticed his
office windows were rather dirty, and,
calling Bridget, he instructed her to
clean them before he returned. At the
same time he told her that he would
stop and purchase new chamois skin
and send it home, and with this she
was to clean the windows. After he had
gone his rounds, he returned to his
Office. CHANGING at the windows, he
found them thickly streaked with
grease. He called Bridget, and the fol-
lowing colloquy took place:
Bridget, didn't I tell you to clean
the windows?"

"Well, did you use it?"
Sure, did, sor.'

doctor, and Bridget promptly brought
it. Then for the first time he learned
that his wife had left the house half
hour before he did in the morning. and
had sent home some tripe The doctor
declined to say what happened to the
channels skin.

Scent in Birds.

Animals follow their noses with
unerring instinct. A dog Identifies his
master by smelling him. A goat picks
her kid from an Enclosure of hundreds
with her nose. After separation a
COW is never satisfied with her calf
until she has thoroughly smelled it.
The feathered family are so deficient
as to smell and taste that they go any,
where and eat anything. 1 have seen
birds contentedly -brooding about
slaughter houses and sewer dis
charges where the air was so contain
mated that my horse would turn up
its nose, draw its lips back from it's
teeth and groan, and I could only Sc
cure my material by working with a
cloth dipped in disinfectant bound
over my lips and nostrils. The birds
eat unspeakable things. It is moth
ing to find them raking the river
banks for worms at the very mouth
of a sewer discharge. Beyond all
question the birds have sight and the
animals scent, but where each is de-
fectiye in one of these senses, it seems
compensated for the greater degree
in which it possesses the other.-Out-

IRREGULARITIES OF SLEEP.
The Body Almost Invariably Assume =
the Position to Which 1t II
Accustomed.

There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there is
not an individual in the world who
has not some trick of distributing
limbs and trunk to insure slumber's
blissful spell which he practices un-
consciously. This, says, the Family
Doctor, is night habit, as perpetual
and immutable under normal condi-
tions as the succession of the sea-
sons. No sooner are we really off to
the land of nod than the night habit
asserts it's dominion. Our hands and
arms seek the same parts of the bed
or the same portions of our bodies
upon which they have nightly rested
since infancy; our feet and legs
stretch at the same angles or loose
ly entwine in comfortable relaxation.
as commanded by unconscious will.
It is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find
tonight on going to bed if you re-
member these words. In truth, if
you do not seek to combat the in
stincts you will be surprised at the
dispositions of the various members
involuntarily made. If you endeavor
to go to sleep by new arrangement
of the body you will also be sur
prised by the revolt against slumber
which will surely ensue, but even be-
fore the struggle is well begun you
will probably surrender and permit
the all-masterful night habit to re-
instate those little details of position
which long practice has made neces-
sary to your comfort. Il

GREED OF BLACK BASS.
The Successful Ruse of an Angler
Who Counted Upon the Fish's
Popularity.

To predict about black bass with
much confidence is unsafe and I'M
wise. That fish has an appetite most
pulling in it's whims. One thing
certain is that selfshness is largely
developed in black bass. particular
~ in big ones.
A well-known sportsman was fish
ing for black bass in the St. Law
renee river. He had poor sport. At
last he got strike from a small
bass. relates the New York Sun.
The bass had taken his leader fly.
He was Keeling in. when suddenly he
got another strike that made every
thing hum. and out of the water at
least two feet came good three
FOUNDER. This bass had fast in it's
jaw the dropper fly next ahead of
the fly the small bass was on.
After a hard fight both bass were
landed.
The angler, encouraged, began to
cast again, but long time without
success. Then another small bass
took his lower dropper fly.
AS he was reeling the fish in. zip!
came second strike. and, as before,
out of the water leaped another big
fellow. This one had taken the fly
just ahead of that the little bass
was on, and that gave the fisher
man an idea.
He had often noticed in a pool or
aquarium where large and small
black bass were together that a
large bass, after declining food,
would instantly make rush for it
if a small bass attempted to take it,
and would frequently abandon tho
pursuit of one minnow to go after
one smaller bass was pursuing
1t was this selfish greed that had
actuated the two big bass he had
hooked Immediately after hooking
the two small ones. Thus the angler
argued. and after landing his second
catch of bass, he left the small one
on the hook. to test the correctness
of his theory.
The result was that the use of the
small one as the imaginary pursuer
of that dropper fly aroused the de-
termination of no fewer than ten
big bass to c;rcumvent it and gobble
that fly themselves, much to their
own discontinue and to the salts
faction of the fisherman, who has
tried the same ruse many times
since with similar results.
