At BaItuff's Store.
At eve when work has eased it's grind
And yielded respite to it's knight,
Dame Pleasure beckonS with her wand
To check the mad world in it's flight
Then gather fockwise round the door
The natives at the grocery store!
They loaf upon decrepit chair,
Or balance nimbly on a box,
While others seek the curb-StOne perch
And rusticate upon the rocks
Then Captain" Boggs he gets the
And edifies the grocery store!
There's Clark, and Jones, and Willie
Brown,
And several holders from 1.-THE works."
The, city marshal joins the bunch,
Likewise the grocer and his clerks
Then General Wood he lets 'er soar
In front of Baltuffs grocery store
There's loud guffaw and hooded quips
Portending jokes that have been sprung
To .agitate some hapless wight,
For everything is known-and more
About the village grocery store!
Then Slack he lows the corn will fall
Which prompts Old Grandad Burr to
9TH crops is lookin' mighty well,
Fer which we all tn Lord should
Then silence reprimands the bore
Who "sees things at the grocery
store!
The government is groomed and spanked
And made to stand up prim and
straight;
"Jedge" Halter stopping for some plug,
Discusses "pints" of town and state
His honor rules on benches four
Yet deigns to argue at the store!
There's Allison and Billy White
One owns a farm and tills the soil,
While ''tOther mounts to nothin much
'Cept savin' bread from mold an spoil!'
But all are equal to the core
About Jim Baltuff's grocery store!
They sit and spit and smoke their pipes,
Grave strategists and sparkling wits:
Some hit the cracks and others don't
Yet every man, he sits and spits-
While time floats to the other shore,
? And darkness hides the grocery store!
Old grocery shop we love you yet,
Mid I ices of stone and steel;
And so...e day we will sit and spit
Besides thy fragrant onion peel
just resting at the open door
Of that old, corner grocery store!

In Our Alley.
A tomcat in our alley has lost all
sense of shame, while his fiat Ell
quette is deplorably improicient-he
plays his piano after II o'clock at
night, and with no soft pedal at that.
Just what he is trying to explain we
have not yet deciphered, but we take
it he is carrying a message to Garcia
and has lost the envelope in the deep
grass of our back yard. We have
substituted thirty-seven miscellaneous
articles, from a bootjack to little
monkey-business we found on our
wife's dresser, but nothing sent yet
seems to please the cat Evidently
Garcia is hard to satisfy.
Oh, Thomas-cat upon the fence,
Why dost thou get SO gay?
Why yowl and growl and spit and spat
From dark till break of day?

What's good for tomcats, anyhow?

The Leaves.
Autumn leaves! How we love them!
Red, yellow, brown!
Scarlet, orange, old gold!
They f1utter earthward and lie in
coverlets, in beds, in banks where the
winds have tossed them!
The minds eye sees them in the
sylvan noo's beloved in the years
agone!
Glorious crimson, vari-hued patches
in memory's great parchment!
1t is simple, child-like, isn't it, to be
dreaming of autumn leaves and old
places? And so many great subjects
yet unsettled.
But, after all when one sees so
many cobblestOnes, so much masonry,
so great a seething sea Of hard, wor-
ried faces, why should not one refresh
the heart bit now and then with a
ought-bouquet of autumn leaves?
In youth we gathered them from the
lawn with an iron rake, on each outer
prong of which we stuck wild crab
apple to temper the harshness of the
teeth Into great piles we stacked
them, pushing and jostling each other
in the leafy pyramid.
And at night, what bonfires!
But if we had those leaves now we
wouldn't burn them! No, perish the
though! We would lie in them, roll
in them, hang them in our smoke room
take them
But this isn't very good matter" to
syndicate, is it? Only a silly little
humble about lot of worthless leaves
and the woods are filled with them!
No, matter, it's human, anyhow!
And, besides, you may be lonesome

Utopia the Blest.

Out where my day-dreams wander,
In valley to the west,
There winds and sings a river
Utopia, the blest!
Deep in the verdant valley
Through wooded, bosky way,
1t flows, serenely placid,
Or gurgles in it's play.
Snug in the dew wet borders,
In spring time, flowers bloom,
And joying birds their feathers
Along it's edges plume.
There vines and bramble bushes,
Festooning tendrils green.

1NMAN HELD FOR TRIAL.
Must Answer Charge of Killing
Franklin County Farmer.

Ottawa, March lotto Inman was
bound over to trial in district court on
charge of numbering Elzel G. Jackson,
in justice court here last evening. His
bond was fixed at $4,000. Inman will
remain in jail until the April term Of
court
Jackson was a young farmer who liv-
ed nine miles northwest of Ottawa.
Some time after midnight on the night
of February II. he was shot through the
head with a shotgun by some one who
stood inside his bedroom door. Jackson
died instantly. His wife a.woke to find
the bed spattered with blood. As Mrs
Jackson rose from the bed she saw a
low figure dart past the window. A lit
tie later. as she went to arouse the
neighbOrs, she saw somebody ride a
horse madly down the road. Two facts
were noted by the officers in connection
with the murder. Otto Inman, who had
been staying at the home of Jackson's
gun was also missing Inman was ar
rested the following day, as he came
out of the brush some miles from the
Jackson home. He claimed to have
been in Kansas City, but his stories
about his trip are badly mixed. His
shoes fitted exactly into tracks at the
Jackson house. The Jackson gun was
found two days later In a creek four
miles away from the home. Inman is
about "A years old He had been in the
neighborhoOd only a few months. The
remains a mystery Jackson and Inman
were good friends. The officers have not
been able to discover any sentiment on
the part of Inman for Mrs. Jackson,
though the people of the neighborhOOd
think something of the kind existed.
