The price of iron for the mains

mate was made and the tendency

A GOLD STORY
AND A STORY
OneBoguS,theO other
Rather Vague,
but True

Thirty years ago there was
mythical story about the existence
OF gold in the Wichita mountains
but with the story went the in
formation that no prospector ever
lived to come back and relate his
experience. The gold story .is
now being sent out by the Lawton

are now giving the asfag-sl7O 70
s270 per ton
Here is something rather more
vague, but it's true: Twelve or tif-
teen years ago, when Col. Jim
Parkinson of Wagner and Okmul-
gee had store at Rsdfork, an old
codger used to come in and have
ore sacks ordered. He purch ased
good many of them, first and
last, never gave ont any lnforma.
ton as to the use he put them to
and certainly never shipped any
thing in them by rail, tor a watch
was kept on this possible avenue
of information. The old man came
from up near the confluence OF
Redtork and the Arkansas, where
be lived alone, He bought miners
supplies and paid for them
promptly. So far as possible he
did his trading with Mr.. Parkin-
son in person, who is not noted for
doing much promiscuous talking,
and who seemed to inspire con-
4 fidence on the old mans part.
The conclusion formed was that
the man was prospecting for pre-
cious metals, was taking out what
be could without discovery
enough for his maintenance-and
waiting until political conditions
should enable him to prosecute
bis work in the open. The matter
was not trade secret though lit
tie was said about it around Red
fork and so far as known 20 one
ever followed the man. His visits
were infrequent. though made
openly. That he must have made
Visits to other points is obvious
as he never brought any sacks
back to Rsdfork and never got any
funds there.
The subject of the railroad

up a hoom Of this country was al
one time considered but abandon

was puzzled what course to take. In
deed after reflection he concluded that
there was nothing for him to do but
go without attempting to explain.
When Miss Florence Mortimer re-
turned to New York she wrote to
friends in England making inquiries
about the Earl of Charleray and
learned that there was such a title and
such person and that during the past
autumn he had been hunting in Amer
lea. The next step in the affair was an
invitation to dine with him. Miss Nor
timer, thinking that she might have
been unjust to him in the matter of his
story about his secretary, decided to
accept.

his cheeks flaming like pair of carna-
lions.
A pleasant surprise lighted up Miss
Mortimer's face, relieving to a great
extent the earl's embarrassment. Since
they were not alone she tactfully began
to chat without any reference to their
former meeting, but later when they
were seated apart from the others she
said:
"Come, there is story 1 am dying
to hear"
Charleray began by telling her that
to enjoy hunting season, avoiding no.
toriety, he had come to the country un-
der the name of Bramley and gone
west, where he had met Chesborough.
to whom he did not reveal his identity.
He then confessed that when Chesbor-
ough proposed that they should play
the parts Of noblemen the temptation
to let Chesborough play his (Charle-
rays part was too strong to be resist
ed. Miss Mortimer was at first in
clined to blame him for not making an
explanation before he left the ranch.
but before be left her he had convinced
her that he could not in honor to the
false earl do so. At any rate she 50 far
forgave the indiscretion as to become

The Planting of a Tree.

The Planting of a Tree.
Wouldst thou upbuild home where sweet
wild lives are nestled.
Glad with the sound of song, quick with
the flash of wing;
Where the soft broods may rock warm
housed and unmolested,
Deep in the leafy hooks, through all the
changeful springs?
Or wouldst thou rear an arch of noblest
grace and splendor,
Lifted in air and light, shaped by the
sun and storm
Moved by the wandering wing, swayed >by
each influence tender,
Yet by the hand Of life nodded to stead
fast form?
Wouldst thou make day more fair and
night more rich and holy,
Winter more keenly bright and sum-
mer's self more dear;
Grant the sweet earth gift, deep rooted
ripening slowly,
Add to the sum OF joys that bless the
rounded year?
Go, then, and plant tree, lovely in sun
and shadow,
Gracious in every kind-maple and oak
and pine
Peace of the forest glade, wealth Of the
fruitful meadow,
Blessings of dew and shade hereafter
shall be thine!
For. though thou never see the joy thy
hand hath granted,
Those who shall follow thee thy gener-
Gus boon may share.
Thou shalt be natures child, who her best
fruit hath planted
And each of many spring shall find
thy gift more fair.
Marion Couthouy. Smith in st. Nicholas.
Whist.
Life is game of whist From unseen
sources
The cards are shuffled and the hands
are dealt.
Blind are our efforts to control the forces
That, though unseen, are no less strong

I do not like the way the cards are shut

But yet like the game and want to
play.
And through the long. long night will 1.

Play what get until the break of day.
