Vacation ON The Farm.

He visited the dear old farm,
Where in his boyhood days
The weather never was too warm
Or cold-to win his praise.
And now he didn't do a thing
But mop, or fan and groan,
Or say, in accents bhthering:
This heat would melt a stoned"
He longed when in the city pent
To drink from the old we'll;
Tin dipper in his hand, he went
They heard a dismal yell!
The windlass that he loved to turn
Had hit him such a crack,
He saw a million planets burn
In the old we'll, alack!
The water had a brackish taste;
Twas not the fluid cold
He used to drink with fev'rish haste
In the dear days Of old.
He heard the frogs in croaking greet
Their friend of other years
And wonders why their music sweet
10 him so changed appears.
He didn't find the treat at night
Of mosquito smudge,
A jolly climax of delight,
If he was any judge.
And, tossing ON a feather bed,
That like a blister stuck,
He wildly rolled his troubled head
And blamed his measly luck.
But now he's home, as Moses meek,
His skin a solid tan;
Great freckles on his robust cheek,
He's quite a different man.
The burrs are sticking to his heels,
The truth he does not finch,
But says the farm to him appeals
AS a vacation cinch.

Late Sculptor Bartholdi.
Long afer his dust shall be indistin-
guishable from it's mother earth the
name of Frederic Auguste Barthold1,
the famous French sculptor, who died
in Paris recently, shall be remembered
and revered in this country. The colos-
sal Statue of Liberty on Bellows
Island, New York, is the first object
to greet the incomer as he enters the
chief portal Of the new world, and as
the satue is a commemoration Of the
traditional good feeling existing be-
tween France and the United States
the ages will be many before its sig
nifcance is lost sight Of. With that
statue the name and fame of Bar
tholdi are tnseparable.
Bartholdi was born in 1884 and was
intended for the legal profession. He
chose sculpture instead, and at an
early age entered upon what proved to
be his lifework. His first statue was
exhibited when he was % years old,
and thereafter the greater part of his
life was devoted to his chosen pursuit.

spray dashed upon the rocks with angry
recoil, and the water seethed and
foamed about the place like the boiling
of huge caldron. The prospect was

am stood straight in his boat, oar in
hand his eyes piercing the precincts Of
the boulders and his muscles standing
out in knots. It was case of power
full man looking death in the face, a
man equal to the fearful emergency.
The boat was heading straight fol-
the base of the group of rocks. To the
left of the center the boulders divided
some six feet above the water line.
Lapham saw this at glance and knew
that if he could reach this point he
would be safe for time.
Quicker than words he hurled his
oars forward with all OF his strength
He blocked the way of his craft and
spun it around like q top. Then he
threw her sidewise to the reboundine
waters which filed her almost to the
top. But the heavy undercurrent up
On which he rode struck the rocks deep
down toward the bed of the bay and
rose up like living thing. Lapham
found himself opposite the coveted OPP
ening IN the rocks and leaped. He
caught his footing and clawled to a
place OF temporary safety.
His boat was let down as rapidly as
it had been hoisted up by the swell
and he saw it no more. His position
was such that he could not see what
was going on around him. His vision
only covered a narrow line of the
water to the east and west but along
this line he saw nothing but white caps
and surging waters.
Throughout the evening he had
climbed inch by inch up the slick side
of the smooth boulders. clinging here
and there to bumps and slight project
ing bits like lizard, as the tide
rose and drove him before it. The
storm ragged throughout the day and
the rain beat down upon him in tor
rents, drenching him to the skin.
The lie savers had seen him strike
the rocks through the early morning
mist and spray and had seen him NO
MORE.
But at the hour when Joe Golden
had reported his death and his friends
were drinking to his memory, Dan
Lapham was still clinging to the rocks.
He had assembled as far as he could,
however, and the water was biting at
his uncertain footing, while his be-
numbed fingers chung, blood-stained, to
the narrow crevies in the boulders.
But the tide had reached it's highest
point and throughout the remainder Of
the night, the waters would return to
the oceans depths.
If Dan Lapham's strength would hold
out, there might be hope for him yet.

CHAPTER XII.
Dan Lapham Makes a Discovery

The storm went out with the tide.
The wind lulled with every receding
wave. Inch by inch Dan Lapham de-
scended the rocks. It would be relief
once more to secure good footing where
be could stand or sit with ease. He
had chung to the side OF the upright
boulders until his fingers were worn to
the quick. His toes ached under the
continual strain and the bones of his
body seemed torn from the flesh 30
long had he been in contact with the
rocks.
When once the tide was out he found
himself upon a large nest of rocks.
This he knew would be the case for he
was acquainted with the bay and river
as one is acquainted with his home and
the landmarks about the place.
At high tide Chinook rocks were sub.
merged, save that one spur near the
center of the group extended above the
high water mark. It was to this that
Dan had chung throughout the day.
Finding himself again able to walk
about he began to plan for escape. He
had hopes that he might hail some
early morning fisherman by picking a
conspicuous place on the rocks from
which point he could view the river
and bay, but he was anxious to leave
his place of imprisonment earlier if
possible
He peered into the water at the loot
of the rocks and examined every nook
and corner, with the hope that he
might find his boat or some other craft
that might have drifted to the place
and lodged.
A few lights in the village to the
north showed that some of the inhabi-
tants were yet awake. He noticed one
light with which he and all the fisher
men were familiar. 1t was light in
an isolated cabin far up the beach.
This light tonight was a source of
mystery to Dan. It shone from the
cabin of Ringwold and Sankala. He
had seen them going to their doom
that morning. He did not believe any
earthly power could save them. His
final conclusion was that they had left
the light burning in the early hour of
morning when they went out into the
storm or that their bodies had been re-
covered by the life savers and neighbors
who were sitting up with the dead.
Poor sankala! Dan sat down upon
the rocks and reflected. He thought of
the frsil girl whom he had so often as
sisted in fishing her net while her aged
companion sat helpless in the boat.
He thought of how cheerful the little

1t requires no stretch Of the magma

other, somewhere and somehow, some
thing is going to happen to that i'm
portant American functiOnary, the base
ball umpire, and If we do not mlsin-
terpret the steady drift toward VIC
lence on the diamond the happening
will be a trife more serious than a
profane bombardment Of the eardrum,
more serious than any of the disgrace
full things yet noted in connection with
this feature of the great American

pened to Umpire Clifford at Monroe,
La, during a game there, are but
straws showing the drift Of the wind.
Baseball Is a great game. It has
splendid recreative value. 1t sweeps
the citizen away from the dull cares,
the sweat and CRIME Of life's routine
and often tints the sunset of existence
with somewhat Of the glow Of yester-
day, for though we have slipped into
the slim groove Of age and may be
hurrying to hole in the ground, we
may yet be boys again, and thrill with
the remembered passions and excite
ments Of the schoolground. But base
ball Is too often robbed of its poetic
color and the fine exhilarating value of
the game by just sucn disturbances as
noted at Jackson and Monroe. Um-
p1res, like other men, are made ont
of clay. Being clay, they must err.
Bias may now and then dominate
them and shape their judgments. Con-
sclously wrong sometimes, uncon-
sciously wrong at others, in the de-
clslons they make, they are no better
and no worse than the common rim oP
partsans, whether they are of the dia-
mond or not. The presumption Of hon.
esty should run in every mans behalf,
whether he be baseball umpire or
what not, until there Is good proof to
the contrary.
In any aspect Of the case the dis
orders which now so often mark tho
progress Of ball games cannot do 9TH
er than injure the sport. Aside from
the strictly baseball interest of the
question, there Is an issue of greater
significance and Of deeper public con-
