BOYS WIT SAVES CLIMBER.


 Flew His Kite So as to Get Rope to Man Caught on a Steeple Top. Buffalo, Sept 9.-F. Devillo Sanders of Belmont, Allegheny county, climbed the steeple of the Episcopal church in Geneseo yesterday to examine the sdam- age done by lightning. When he was near the top of the steeple his rope caught so that he could not move up or down, and it was necessary to get an- other rope to him.
 The nearest place to Sanders that could be reached was sixty feet below where he was dangling.
 Ezekiel WiTlis, a boy. got out his kite and flew 1t so that Sanders could grasp the string. Then pieces of cord of gradually increasing size were at- tached to the kite string until Sanders got a rope and came down.

The Other Girl.

How fair you looked that night in May,
Where you and music held full sway!
With eager haste | clasped your waist,
To claim you for twirl;
And when. the dancing done, l told
TO willing ears the story old,
Your soft reply was yes" and
Forgot the other girl
In lustrous silk and filmy veil
You stood before the altar rail-
A bride as sweet one could meet
OF womanhood the pearl;
But as we turned to face the aisle
a shadow crossed your winning smile,
And In pew in plainest view.
| saw the other girl
Dear Rose. you are n charming wife!
For ten glad years you've made my life
A happy lot and | would not
Change places with an earl:
Yet sometimes, when you pout and frown,
Or wear an unbecoming gown.
My thoughts fly back along Times track
To greet the other girl.

In the Orchard.

Oh! here, beneath this roof of green,
/ throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams of what has been
And future harvests yet to gain!
The wheat waves In the field close by.
An apple. ripened ere it's time.
Drops from the tree, the suns great eve
Seeks through the leaves, and, as
rhyme.
The birds weave 10 and fro and sing
The very songs ] would declare
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by wandering air.
The binders, clicking in the wheat.
The whistle of passing train,
The distant noises of the street
Are to my song a low refrain.
To-day! Today / rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs of peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.

The Cause of Thinus.

With vast unrest In his heaving breast
And hts knees uplifted high,
He lies on his bed with throbbing head
And attributes his pain to pie.
But the apple pie was less at fault
Than the mans inordinate greed of malt
Sallow and III. with a giant pill
In his hand, and a look of fright
In his easy chair hear the victim swear
At the lobster he ate last night.
But an innocent lobster you need not fear
II you don't combine champagne and

Peaches and cream brought a dreadful
dream"
Said the man to his wife next day;

Grief CONQUERED,

l will forestall the grief that years may
bring.
Within my room alone, on Bonded knee.
| will beseech that, when grief comes
to me,
Gods comforts come as well to heal the
sting.
Come Joys divine when earthly Joys take
wing;
And when my loved ones die, to me be
given
Some clearer evidence of Gods dear
heaven,
Filling my soul with peace, and COM

So grief shall find me armed, and, as a
foe
Yields to warrior stronger far than
he,
Grief shall present a flag OF truce to me,
And own itself my vassal, bending low
While ], the victor, shall have gained
from grief
A deeper knowledge of divine relief.

If boot black should start up in Smithfed
With elegant up-to-date chair,
You would see the folks going to Logan
To fix up their toggery there
If an editor started a paper
In the midst of this beautiful town,
lie would not get paid-up subscriber,
And all Of the natives would frown
If a trader sold babies in Smthield
At a dollar and twenty pair
The ladies would travel to Logan
To purchase their progeny there
While the blacksmith of Smithfeld is waiting
For nickle to fall in his fire,
The farmer will hitch up his wagon,
And drive to the axles in mire-
TO get a new bolt for his brcakbeam
And take a whole day for the drive
Returning in darkness from Logan
With horses more dead than alive.
There are those who are stationed in byways
And lurking by day i'm the shade
With nothing to do but to tell you
To travel TO Logan to trade
believe there's a doctor in Smthicld
But employs him, hear,
He had large practice in Frisco,
But he's on a vacation this year
And yet there is sickness they tell me
And doctor from ten miles away,
Is making his trips to this city,
Every hour of the night and the day.
One day Mrs. II. took journey
To purchase her sugar in L.
She got thirteen pounds for dollar
And thought she doing quite we'll
Till she learned that Ed Miles could do better,
But this she will shortly forget
For when she has used up the sugar
She travel to town in the wet
Catch a cold in the course Of her journey,
Call doctor that lives far away
Lose a whip and dog and lap-robe
And not do the milking that day!
A barber at Smithfed informed
That folks went to Logan-By Gum.
Because with shave in that city
They furnished drink of-bay rum!
But the people of Smithfeld will tell you
They stand up for enterprise here.
And this they will do If their credit
Pipes out e'er the end of the year.
When they to the blacksmith and doctor
And tell them about the hard times
With patllos graphic and touching
Than rhymer could rhyme into rhymes.
And the heart of the merchant tender,
The butcher will furnish them meat,
And all of their neighbors will help them,
Till they again on their feet.
And then with bundle of money
Once more they are of and away
And merchants of Logan will gather
That gold ere the close of the day.

Railroads Will Discontinue Stockmen's
Tickets After January I, 1904.

Chicago, Sept 3.-Stockmen through
out the west who have for many years
been enjoying free transportation from
their homes and the shipping centers
will find this privilege curtailed after
January /, 1904. The executive officials
Of the western lines met here today and
agreed that on and after the date men
toned they would discontinue the is
suance to stockmen of return trans
portation, thereby compelling them to
pay their fare to their homes after hav-
Ing come to the various shipping cen
ters with stock.
Before the agreement can be carried
out, however, great deal of work will
have to be done by the traffic men.
Committees will be appointed for the
purpose of preparing a digest of all
the laws Of the various states pertain
Ing to the subject Of stockmen's passes
with view to seeing what violations,
If any, will result from the observance
of the order. A large number of the
western states have enacted laws COM
pelling the railroads to issue passes
to men in charge, of stock cars, but
there is no uniformity of requirements.
The new regulations are the same as
those in force in eastern territory,
where the stock traffic is not nearly
SO great The change is proposed
largely for the purpose Of curtailing
the operations of ticket scalpers.
