"THE DEAR OLD DAYS."

Gimme back the dear old days--all the
boys in line
Boy stood on the Burnin' Deck" an
"Bingen on the Rhine!'
" Twas Midnight: in His Guarded Tent
We spoke it high and low,
While Mary trotted out that lamb
whose fleece was white as snow.
Gimme back the dear old days-the
mem'ry loves to keep,
With pilot, tits Fearful Night--there
Is danger on the deep"
The old-time, awkward gestures-the
jerk. meant for bow
We said "Curfew Should Not Ring"
But, Lord! It's ringin' now!
Geimme back the dear old days-the
pathway thro' the dells
To the schoolhouse in the blossoms;
the sound of far-off bells
Tinklin' crost the meadows; the song
of bird and brook;
The old-time dictionary, and the blue
back spellin' book
Gone, like a dream. forever.--A city's
hid the place
Where stood the old log schoolhouse;
an no familiar face
Is smilin' there in welcome beneath a
mornin' sky
There's. a bridge acrose the river; an
we've crossed, an said "good-by."

GOtch and Hart Matched.

A dispatch from Minneapolis says
there is every probability that Marvin
Hart and Frank Gotch will battle
for the heavyweight championship of
the world. Gotch is in receipt of a
telegram from Harris manager to the
effect that Roots conqueror will meet
him in San Francisco or Reno, New,
for not less than $4,000 as purse
and any side bet the wrestler-pugilist
may wish to make.
Gotch has been getting himself into
shape for the prize ring, and feels
sure that he is Harris superior in
strength and in boxing skill. 1t is
likely that Nevada will be the scene
of the battle. as Hart is hit out
there now, and could draw with any
kind of an opponent. Then, too. the
fact that finish fight. can be pulled
off there makes it doubly desirable.

SpOkanc Interstate rair Notes.

This year is an important one for
the Pacific northwest, owing to the
attraction at the Portland fair,
which will bring thousands west,
and every community should see that
its resources are advertised. One
of the best methods for doing this is
the Spokane Interstate fair. which
will catch large throng of tourists
on the return from the Lewis and
Clark exposition. Every one who
has anything worth exhibiting should
send it to Spokane this year, for
such an opportunity will not be had
again for many years. A premium
list can be had for the asking by ad-
dressing Robt. H. Cosgrove. secre-
tary and manager of the fair at
Spokane. A glance through this
premium list, which is better than
ever before. will show almost every
one that he has something worth
sending. The fair itself promises
TO be the best yet held. 1t is the
twelfth annual.
More and stronger premiums are
offered this year by the Spokane
