NOON IN THE WOODS.

<tHush!'' said the little pine the hill,
And all of them listened together
Listened and nodded and grew so still,
Still in the golden weather
And the squirrel who fancied he'd something to do
And chartered awhile complaining,
Felt the spell Of the silence creep over him, too,
For noon in the woods was reigning.
And the sunshine slips thru the bough,
And gold is the PLACE of its falling,
Gold where the wild doves murmur and browse,
And gold is the of their calling.
The little bright eyes closed in sleep,
And hushed is the sob of complaining,
For silence broods as it broods on the deep,
When in the woods is reigning-

MIR. WILEY HAD A FALL
GENIAL CONGREssMAN'S ExPERI-
 ENCE ON LAKE LINAO.
Wife of Senator Scott Declined to Give Up Lantern for Use in Succor. ing the Alahama Repre-
 sentative.

Washington, Oct. 22.-(Special.)- Representative William A. Jones of Virginia. who. with Mrs. Jones, was one of the party of Congressmen and their wives who accompanied Secre- tary of War Taft on the famous trip to the Orient. says that nobody en- joyed the tour more than the genial Colonel Ariosto A Wiley, Representa- tive of the Second Alabama District. Colonel wiley's experience. Mir. Jones declares, would have been q glowing period of pleasure unalloyed but for a thrilling accident which befell him in the Phii.ppfnes-in the heart of Min danao of the dominion of the Sultan of Sulu.
 We were crossing--our party--in two small boats the Lake Linao, q consid- erable body of water in the interior of the widest and wierdest part of the island" said Mir. Jones. Only two years before had any white man ever traversed that lake. Mrs. Scott wife of Senator Scott of West Virginia. who insisted upon going with us, was the first white woman certainly who ever went over the lake.
 We were getting on all right until one of the worst storms came up you ever saw. 1t grew dreadfuIly dark, our boat was tossed about by the rag ing waves, thunder roared and light ming blazed/ like the internal regions in full blast. Our wheel-man was a Moro native. who steered by a com- pass under the light of lantern. We stood, a good many of us, around the light of the lantern at the wheel, won- dering what would be our fate, when we were startled by one of our party from another part of the boat running to us with the news that Colonel Wiley had fallen down a hatchway and had tainted Then the messenger asked for the lantern with which to find some restorative for the injured colo mel. The request reused Mrs. Scott out of hitherto speeches. terror.
 Never" she cried. Don't give up the lantern! Hold on to the lantern, or we are lost" she cried in ancents wild, as she clung to the dusky figure at the wheel. Hold on to the lantern Let Colonel Wiley stay tainted until we get to land
 Tt turned out that. happily, Colonel Wiley was stunned only for little while and suffered no serious conse- quences from the tumble.
 The rest of the trip was scary enough as another of our party fell down the same hatchway and was somewhat bruised. But the best thing about it was what the Colonel said. You will understand when I tell you that during our whole trip when we WSlt duy"hcTe tO IuHCtiouS anu tnc like ,the. question of precedence was settled so that the Senators and Sena- tors wives should show ahead of the Representatives and their lady charges.
 When he was told that Mrs. Scott | didn't want the man at the wheel to | give up the lantern by which the com | pass was read, the Colonel remarked: |
 70 we'll, she was just mad because l she didn't go into the hatchway first"

OLD L0UySBERRY'S
 DAUGHTER
BY MALCOM wELCH.

lCopyrlSnt, lSOD, by Daily Story Pub.
 Co.)
 Everybody excepting old Lounsber- ry recognised the fact that Edward Parish was an exceptionally bright and forceful young man. Old Louns- berry denied it. Some people were mean enough to say that Lounsberry himself had A higher opinion of young Parish's qualities and deprecated them only after he discovered that his daughter Grace was in love with the young man. Even then he did not deprive himseK entihely of his servi- ces. but sent him down the state to take charge of the coal mine at Well Valley
 Of course this was rather in the na- ture of reduction for Parrish, as he was directly in line to become general manager for all of old Lounsberry's varied interests. Also 1t was an ex- eeedingly bitter pill for both Parish and Grace Lounsberry to be thus sep arated. But they vowed eternal fidel- ity and Parish took up the work at the mine with his usual intelligence and energy, rather accentuated, in- deed, by the fact that there was abso- lutely nothing to do in the miserable little town except to work. So the results achieved by Parish were some what tremendous. And as he had a
 
 himself making a good deal of money. Inasmuch as these results paid Louns- berry many dollars when they yielded Parish one and at the same time kept the latter away from Grace the old man did not grumble. Only he never for a moment would admit to anybody else that Parish amounted to any thing.
 You are alright for an under cierk' Parish, but you have no initia- tlVe ability mo resourcefulness, abe had said when the young man had coolly asked him for his daughters hand and had suggested that while he had no money to speak of right then ne mad the kind of ability that would pc sure to produce fortune ultimate ". Indeed Parish bad gone so far as to intimate that his usefulness to oid Loahsberry himself was a suffi- clsnt guaranty of his financial ability, I ms had nearly driven the old capital ist into an apoplectic fit.

I don't see how he got here. They told me in Chicago they were going to intercept him there. If he's left here there'il be bleod- shed fear Look at the way he's got em excited already"
 The sheriff rallied his deputies and started on a run. In trice Old Lounsberry was dragged out of the crowd and started on a run for the jail. The sheriff declined to listen to his rayings and as he was hustled past Parish and his daughter Parish grin ned sard0nically which caused such an explosion of wrath from the vener- able prisoner that one of his captors smashed his silk hat down over his face. completely snufing him out, as it were.
 The wedding was very simple and unpretentfous. Late that night Parish received note from the jail.
 You've won. For Heavens cake get me out of this. I don't want to stay all night"

Then they l would await the explosion.
 It would all have gone through all right had not the strike conditions changed. But the managers of the miners and the strikers rallied to
 checkmate the move. The trains were
 surrounded and the imported men
 were driven back into the cars so ter-
 rified they dare not disembark. Then
 the employers tried the expedient of
 disembarking the imported men back
 \ few miles and getting them to the
 mines across the country while the
 strikers watched the trains.
 The result. of all this was that the
 trains were all late and the train on which Parish and his bride arrived did not reach Well Spring until 1t was overtaken by the next later train which left the city an hour and half later.
 As Parish stepped off the train he glanced back at the train behind and his quick eye caught the familiar gleam of old Lounsberry's hat de- scending from the platform of one of the cars. From his haste Parish | grasped the idea that his prospective and was there to frustrate it. Then it was that Parish demonstrated to Old Lounsherry and the world that he | had resource and initiative. One of the strike leaders stood near him. He l knew him we'll All the men knew l and trusted Parish. He touched the | man on the arm. he said
