THE HARP.

u heard a murmurous sound of throh-
bing strings
Trat quivered in the sunlight by the
stream
Sad notes that fluttered like a young
heart breaking,
THE dim blue hollows of the woodland
waking.
With sorrows FROM the shadow world
Of dream,
And tales of shadow haunted queens
and kings,
Over your harp you bent; but when
came
You lifted your dark eyes, and your
Song died
Although your fingers in the strings
yet straying
Thrilled the husbed woodlands with
enchanted playing
AS you arose to wander by my side,
Breathing sweet words that set my
heart afame,
From cups of crystal and Of amethyst
And golden bowls Of summer, sapphire
Tipped,
We drank deep draughts of life, Q
Love together:
We wandered through dim nights
among the heather,
Tn late September when the young
noon dipped
Her amber horn in dewy silver mist.
And now, when winter comes, and
wood and fell
In one white whirl are hidden from
our eyes,
Dreaming together by the sparkling
embers.
You touch, once more the harp that
still remember
Though in Our hearts no shade of
sorrow lies
The dark eyed sorrows that in dream
land dwell.
I hear once more the tale of queens
and kings
Caught in the nets of love; and how
they died;
Yet--though for all the sorrow of the
telling
Tears of compassion in my eyes are
yelling
Because we two have wandered side
by side,
MY heart may grieve not with the
grieving strings.

the considerable handling incident to
bending and crimping. A Wilmington
inventor, however, has discovered that
kegs and other diff1cult-shaped pack
ages may be readily made Of pulp If
binder, or cementing material, is added
to the pulp. This binder will set or
knit sufficiently to bind the pulp ibers
together before the water has entirely
passed off. 1t can, therefore, be work
ed while still in a moist condition and
will stand the necessary handling or
bending. Moreover, the moisture re-
naming In the pulp enables the head
to be firmly grasped by shrinkage OF
the body, which is large factor tn
producing a durable moisture proof
package. It is believed that besides
kegs, boxes, pals and other commercial
packages, that even bathtubs may be
manufactured Of pulp under the new
process.

Somebody Got His Chickens.

Among the statutes enacted by the
last Legislature was one making
chicken stealing a felony where the
value of the fowls is as much as two
dollars.
Chicken stealing out to be felony.
A creature that will steal a chicken
would cut a throat or scuttle ship
if he could do so with the same i'm
munity from punishment; and if he
would steal less than two dollars
worth of chickens he would certainly
steal more if an opportunity offered.
1t is difficult, therefore, to conceive
why the law should be emasculated
by the two-dollar limit.-Logan Coun-

WHAT HIS JOB WAS WORTH.
Corporation Official Given Plain Hints
by Well Wisher.

Corporation Official Given Plain Hints
by a Well Wisher.
Some months ago an officer holding
an important executive post in one
of the greater corporations received
kindly, almost neighborly, call from
one Of his fellow directors. This off,
Ger had returned from a brief vaca-
ton trip. The fellow director said to
him that In view of their long friend
ship and their respect and admiration
each for the ability and achievements
Of the other, he was going to speak
somewhat plainly to that officer. Then
he put this question bIuntly to him:
what would you be willing to pay
to keep your placer"
1t seemed strange question. The
executive officer did not know at first
what to make Of it. He saw, Of course,
that there was some kindly, although
hidden, purpose In the question. and
so he answered in the spirit in which
the inquiry was put. He said that, Of
course, If it were necessary and was
the proper thing to do, he would
rather pay large sum Of money than
to lose that Office, for it represented
his ambition and was in line with his
achievements "But I do not know
what you are driving at" this officer
continued.
Then the officer was told that while,
of course, 1t was impossible to take
seriously the question, what money
are you willing to pay to hold the
officer nevertheless there was price
which he would have to pay, and
that price was this: He must give up
ostentatious living, he must be espe-
cially careful to observe local ordi-
nances, not driving recklessly with
his automobile, he must be careful to
keep all the appearances Of propriety,
he must do all things that sober
minded, self-respecting citizen should
do, and If his disposition led him to
genteel dissipation, riotous living or to
ostentation, then the giving UP OF
those things was the price he would
have to pay If he desired to keep his
Office. And the reason why that price
was exacted was that as officer Of
corporation in which the public has In
vested heavily he must necessarily
heed public opinion, even in the con-
duct Of his private life.-New York

A Mouse-Eaten Will.

In the Irish Probate Court ''adminl.

been granted to Mrs. Mary Jane Grue,
a Monaghan woman. In reality only
a part of the will existed, for the rest
of it had been devoured by mice.
When Mrs. Grues father, farmer,
died, no will could be found, though
it was known that he had made one
in 1886. When the document was
eventually discovered, large portions
had been eaten by mice. From q copy

The reason why John Robbins,
head of Township Ten Drive, picked
out Jules Grandgent to break the
big jam at the Giants Staircase was
that for three years in succession the
young Frenchman had done the work
successfully. Had the feat been con-
sldered an especially perilous one,
Robbins, instead of ordering for a
man out on the logs, would have cali
ed for a volunteer; and this would
probably have meant Jules, who was
never backward in offering his
service. But there were a dozen
places on the river more dangerous
than this. Here skill and judgment
rather than daring were required.
AT this point the rocky river bot
tom shelved down in an eighth of a
mile of broad, shallow steps to a
deep, circular basin. Just above the
foot Of this flight of stairs the stream
was compressed to width of hun
dred feet between perpendicular cliffs.
about half as high.
Right in this narrow gullet big
pine had stuck between two boulders,
like a fsh-bone in giants throat.
The whole drive had piled up behind
At, stewing the entire flight, and ex-
tending far upstream. A man might
have walked dry-shod from the foot
OF the stairs to point half mile
above. This state of affairs could not
be allowed to continue long. The
river was falling. and there was no
time to lose.
Robbins knew the gorge of old,
and was prepared to meet it's difficult
ties. When once the jam started, the
man who broke it would have no. time
to reach the foot of the prependicu-
Tar bluffs. So it was the lumbermen's
custom to stretch "a strong rope across
che gulf from cliff-top to clifftop, max
ing each end fast to a tree trunk.
On this was placed travelling pulley
Block, which was lashed to a knot
tied in the middle of the rope, and
through which another smaller rope
ran to the right bank. The end of
this line below the block was lowered,
and made fast under the arms of the
driver selected to break the jam.
When the logs began to move, the
man was Immediately Eoisted up un-
til he reached the knot in the hori-
.zontal cable; then he cut the lash
ings that bound the block to this,
and was drawn in to the bank, block
and all. This had been done success
fully many times in former years.
1t took neary an hour to get the
ropes in place. Part of the crew
worked on one bluff, part Oh the 9TH
er, while one man labored on the jam
itself. Jules leaned against spruce
on the right bank, waiting, ak in hand.
When all was ready, the driver be-
low was drawn up. Then down the

There all the types of the modern clown

originality of his costumes and the sober-faced alb
surdty of his acts to raise the laugh which the old
style clown got with his grimaces.
Even his history is original. He is not a son of
the circus; he not even born to the stage. But
he used to play truant from high school in Chicago
to give shows, wherever there was place to show,
with the Saxon sisters singers and dancers; he
the comedian of the performance. His parents put
