There is a feeling of confidence among vnita people
that the deep well soon to be drilled here will develop
something of value to the city Whether be oil gas

AT eve when the brief wintry day is sped
muse beside my dre's falnt-nickerlng glare
Conscious Of wrnkling face and whitening hair
or those who, dying young, inherited
The immortal youthfulness OF the early dead
think of Raphaels grand-seigneurial air;
OF Shelley and Keats with aurels fresh and fair
Shining unwthered on each sacred head;
And soldier boys who snatched deaths starry prize,
With sweet life radiant In their fearless eyes,
The dreams of love upon their beardess lips
Bartering dull age for Immortality;
Their memories hold In deaths unyieldng fee
The youth chat thrilled them to the inger.tips

A companion.

He often brings us pleasure,
He sometimes brings us pain;
He fills our hearts with trouble,
Their cheers US up again.
He gives us introductions,
But fails to make amends
For the severance of loved ones
The loss of faithful friends.
The blooming cheeks OF beauty
He smites with slow decay;
The raven locks of manhood
He surely streaks with gray
AT each stop on life's ladder
That we essay TO climb,
He's always close behind us,
Old, ruthless Father Time,

Bossy Ends a Lawsuit

The arrival of an innocent-looking
bossy, at the barn of W. H. Gallagher,
brings an end to lawsuit in an APP
peal to the district court from the
justice court. w. II. Gallagher pur-
chased some time ago a COW from w.
NJ. Thompson. paying for the animal
$50. In making the sale Mr.. Tho'np-
son guaranteed that the animal was
with calf. and that the arrival of the
little fellow might be expected in Feb
ruary. The shortest month in the year
arrived. but with it came no calf, and
Gallagher brought civil action in
Justice Clark's court asking for the
setting aside of the contract and the
return of his $50. The case was tried
before a jury, which awarded Mr.. Gal
lagher $25 damages. and the amount he
was to recover. The jury, however,
did not specify who was to take possess
sion of the cow Mr.. Thompson APP
nealed the case, and 1t was set for trial
this morning. A dismissal was en-
tered on the docket, ard the fact be-
hind it is that the COW has fulfilled the
guaranty of its former owner.
