A Study In Stars.

We were two camps at Occur d'Alcne
A strip of beach lay in between
And all alike could breathe the air
From the tall pine trees growing there.
Once day for our good health's sake
We took u cold plunge In the lake.
Cooling draughts from the mountain side
Rushing down, our thirst supplied.
One evening gazing at the stars
We suddenly discovered Mars;
"S,ar of the Cnconquered Will" he stood
Shooting star beams. red as blood.
Big Dipper next our interest claimed.
With North Star close beside it chained |;
Then we the heavens closely scanned
For the Poets Pleads, silver spanned.
When something near ten days had flown
We hailed the new born Lady Moon
And she was strictly up to date
As through the sky she rode in state.
Smiling softly across the lake
A diamond pathway there to make;
Thus through the night she did not sleep,
But bright, untiring vigil keeps;
And early in the morning hours
She bowed to us her au re voirs.
Another evening the departing sun
With fervcnt ardor kissed the moon.
She deeply blushed. the radiant glow
Was reflected in the stream below,
Spreading afar sheen Of gold.
A glorious picture to behold.
And so we dreamed amid the haze
OF the golden Indian summer days,
Till dark clouds draped the mountains DER
And sent us to our homes once more

Evidently the publisher OF tbs Ap-
pleton (Minn) Press is not an enthus-
iastic admircr Of base ball. In a re
cent issue he pays his respects as fol-
lows: Baseball is the most hideous
wart on the nose OF civilization. The
hardest thing to beat is the "Sweet
Caporal" sort headed for cheap game
with a livery team-and yellow haired
kitten and fifty cents in his south
pocket. The game Of baseball attracts
a parasitic and non-producing element
into the town that eats into public
economy like scab. If we had as
many widows and orphans to support
we would beef like Russell Sage at
one-mill tax. Baseball professionals
emanate generally from Peroxide
street and die on the United States
pension roll. II craps and renny-ante
and baseball were abolished the fans
would be eating grass along the road.

a leaser. and with only moderate sue

CHAPTER OF MISFoRTUNES.
The Walters Family Are Heavily
Visited

Death and fire laid a heavy hand
on the family of M. j. Walters, re-
siding in the lower valley Sunday
morning, and in a short hours time
had taken the life of a highly re-
spected citizen and destroyed com
modious dwelling house.
During the past year Mr. Walters
had erected a new residence on his
ranch. but after moving into it had
used the old house for various pur-
poses. SUNDAY morning the latter
building caught fire about 9 O'Clock
and as it was on1v 2 short distance
away from the new house there was
great danger that the latter would
also catch - and Mr.. Walters and
members of his family worked hard
to protect it. Buckets of water were
carried and used on the flames and
when some neighbors, attracted by
the flames, arrived on the scene to
help. Mr.. Walters, owing to his adj
vanced age. ~ years, was exhausted
and soon collapsed. He was carried
into the house and placed On bed

the doctor there. The latter was I'M

o'clock. but Mr.. Walters had been
dead for an hour, and nothing could
be done in his behalf His face was
slightly burned in several places. but
the injuries were not sufficient to
cause death, and the doctor is of the
opinion that excitement and over
eXertiOn induced heart failure. No
one was at his side when he died, as
his condition was not thought to be
serious and the attention OF the fam
