THE END OF THE TRAIL.

Tween the old time and the new,
have sung heart-songs of you
You. lean stranger TO all fear,
Careless border cavalier.
Now. old pard, that you are gone,
And the gray and cherries dawn
OF day called Progress, comes,
And the throaty engines huns
Down the trails where you and |
Made our camps, and watched the sky
Drop its crimson sunset bars
To a bunch of mav'rick stars
Then, oh, then, / cry aloud.
Curses on the white-faced crowd:
On the heights of stone and wood,
Standing where our sign-camps stood
On the jangle of the street
And each pale, worn face meet.
On the coyote ways of men
Sharp of fang beyond our ken
Swapping Ger each others bones,
For pile of yellow stones.
Did we seek for gold or fame9
No, we played careless game:
And on plunging ponies we
Shouted back in mocking glee,
When in town the blue gun spoke
Thro' smiling wreath Of smoke.
Thus dream and long and fret,

A QUESTION.

Little Lucy Locket,
She hadn't any pocket-
No place to carry anything at all;
While Lucy's brother Benny,
He had so very many !.
In which to put his marbles, top OF
ball,
That when he's in a hurry
'Tis sometimes quite a worry
To find the one he wants among them
all.
Now why should Lucy Locket
Not have little pocket
A handy little pocket in her dress?
And why should brother Benny.
Who doesn't need so many
Be favored with a dozen, more OIL
less?
The reason, if you know it,
Be kind enough to show it,
For really, It's puzzle. l confess,

The Masters Word.
When to Cry.

There are millions of little boys and
girls in the world who want to do just
the right thing and the very best
thing. But they do not always know
what just the right thing is, and
sometimes they cannot tell the very
best thing from the very worst thing.
Now / have often thought that
there are little boys and girls who
cry, now and then at the wrong
time; and | have asked many of the
older people, but none of them could
tell me the very best dime to cry
But the other day | met a man older
and wiser than any of the rest. He
was very old and very wise, and he
told me:
at is bad lusk to cry on Monday.
ITO cry on Tuesday makes red
eyes.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for
children's heads and for the heads of
older people.
ut is said that If child begins to
cry on Thursday he or she will find it
hard to stop.
ut is not best for children to cry on
Friday. 1t makes them unhappy.
Never cry on Saturday. 1t is too
busy a day.
Tears shed on Sunday are salt and
bitter.
Children should on no account cry
at night. The nights are for sleep.
''They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any of these times,
unless it is for something very serl-
GUS"
l wrote down the rules just as the
old man gave them to fne. OF
course they will be of no use to the
| boys and girls who are past six, for
these children do not cry. The wise
old man meant them for the little
ones-the millions of little boys and
| girls who want to do just the right
thing and the very best thing.-Mary
| Elizabeth Stone, in St. Nicholas.

into her lee quarter and the skipper
was in, his jack-knife open in his
teeth; and the next, the painter cut,
he was only speck visible as his boat
rose on the crest of a larger wave than
usual. But not before Tom had tum-
bled into the boat with him
Il didn't expect to see you any more,
Bill" he told me afterward but |
couldn't stay and see the old man 60
alone -
The first sea they met swept away
both their oars like so much matchwood,
and all Tom can remember is that he and
the skipper set to work bailing for their
lives with their sou 'westers, for the same
sea had more than half filled the boat.
Tom never thought a moment about the
Sarah and Anne. He never had thought
they had any chance of reaching her any
how, so he forgot all about everything
but getting the water out, till suddenly
sea flung them alongside something
like sunken rock. Somehow the water
in the bottom of the boat was alive with
half dozen men, and then once more
they were clear again, and working away
at the water as before. You must know

weather: we always run down to them

leeward on a FOOLS errand, and so lose
all the ground we had fought so hard for
all night, or accept the inevitable and
let the story of one more tishermans
self-sacrifice be forgot, except in the
desolate little home to which we could
carry nothing but a flag half-mast. Mind
you take her home safe if you Can," had
been almost his last words, for the ship
was his own, the one result of his life's
labors, and all that there would be left to
provide for his loved ones. Our cook lad.
only fifteen years of age, was eager to risk
everything for the shippers life; for the
man had been a father to him. 1t looked
like running into the gates of Hades as we
looked at the mass of white foam behind
us, and the pitiless head1ands on each
side of us, now plainly visible. We
seemed caught like rat in trap.

WHY NO COUNSEL ALLOWED?

1t is a pity Governor Glenn was
ing the investigation Of the insane
asylum at Raleigh by the board OF d.
rectors. Had he been at the helm we
have no doubt the request for counsel
to conduct the examination of wit
nesses would have been granted. The
state can employ extra counsel to as
sist the paid legal representative OF
the state in Ell kinds of suits, AMI
pay big fees for their services. Why
then cannot it have a lawyer to rep
resent it IN such an important matter
as that now before the asylum direc-
tors? This looks like straining q. d
gnat and swallowing a camel. The
state should be represented at this
inquiry especially after the board OF
directors has called on the acting gov
ernor to furnish them with couhs
to assist in the examination OF wit
nesses. Had Governor Glenn been in
the state the board would have had
counsel, if the governor had to serve
in that capacity himself. He would
never have replied to the request OF
the board that it would have to do the
best it could without a lawyer to ad-
wise it as to the proper conduct of
the examination.
The board should by all means
both those attendants who have 1e-
signed and those who have been dis
charged since the death of Nall to ap-
pear before it and testify, and the
cause of the designations and dis
charges at this time should be inquired
into. This investigation should DE
thorough. The people do not want
any half way work in this matter.
They look to this board to go to the
bottom and lay bare the manner OF
conducting the affairs of the asylum,
whether it be good or bad.

Girl upsErs r. o. ORDER SYSTEM


The entire postal money-order sys-
temof the United States has been turn
ed upside down by the twenfy-one
year-old Brooklyn woman who. il Is
alleged. issued forged money-orders
from the s~ub-station Of the postofiice
at Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue
For seine time the government ex-
perts at Washington had desired to

were detected that the experts dis
covered a way TO prevent c~rookedness

All of the outstanding blanks are
being called in and new blanks, like
express orders, is being printed at
Washington in a rush. The new order
when torn from the book by the postal
clerk leaves a stub which shows the
amount Of the money order.
The auditor of the New York post
office said yesterday that the name OF
the missing clerk Of the Sixth avenue
sub-station is Lydia 4. Engelke, and
that she is twenty-one years old and
lives with her parents somewhere in

and the clerks flight.
The auditor said that with the ex-

would be possible for a money order
clerk to issue 100 forged orders for
$500 each, clearing $4,000. AS there
are 245 of these offices in New York

TIE BIRDS HAD FLOWN
Thieves, Locked in a Box Car While
Beating Their Way. Escape.

Greensboro policemen have a good
joke en- a Southern Railway freight
conductor. They were also greatly
disappointed thi smorning. Their
mouths had been watering, for a nice
job was on hand-in fact they thought
they had it as good as in their hands.
Two houses were entered in Sails
bury. last night and the police of that
place at once got onto the thieves and
made it so hot for them hat the men
jumped a freight train coming in this
direction. But the officers were so
close on to the rascals that they as
certained on which train and which
car they were in and after the train
had gone they wired the conductor to
look after them by fastening the ear
door and turning them over to the
officers here, the first stop out of Sails
bury. This advice the conductor fol-
lowed SO far as fastening the door, but
it was not locked and nothing hindered
any one from christening it from the
outside. When he arrived here
at an early hour this morning he mott
fed the first officer he could find that
he had two housebreakers fastened up
in a car and that the a would be left
on the new yards at Pomona. IN a
big hurry, Chief Nelly took officers
Skeens and Lewis and with Old Jake
and the wagon they went to Pomona
clipity-clip. Arriving there they were
shown the car and on it vas inscribed
in big letters these words: 1.-TWO men
inside; don't let them out; officers
coming for them" The policemen
grabbed their pistols and ordered The
door opened. One man volunteered to
release the birds while the three Gift
GERS stood ready to catch them. A
man, therefore, went to the car door
to do the job of liberation, but with
IN exclamation came the words, "the
door is already unfastened," and it
was. Some one had heard the two men
begging for release and had let the
birds out. That they had been in the
car is beyond dispute, but who let
them out no one knows, though some
cOlOred men were at work close to the
car when it was set down on the yard.
