You should see her as she goes
Down the street with snow-waves rimple,
Winsone as a winter rosei
Gown of some warm, clinging tissue
Fitting her without a fleck;
Furry ruff and fluffy hchu
At the neck;
Locks with just tiny crinkle.
Where to hide the sun delights:
Eyes with all the radiant twinkle
OF the stars on winter nights.
Hands that once the prancing coacher
Held, as now she holds her muff
LiPs-who dares to play the poacher
Gets a cuff
Winsome, witty and vivacious;
Not above a sudden pun.
In her manner something gracious.
In her smile a benison,-
From my song you'll surely see she's
Among maids perfect pearl:

States of one of its most
important musical infiu-

was a pathfinder. He led
many thousands across frlv-

places where they could
hear and appreciate the
ocean-like surge OF great
compositions.
His nature, strong and
deep, caused him to have
little regard for musical

Mendelssohn, List, Wag-

have since been classed as bull men,

Despite the perils, the constant
watchfulness, the half-conscious realiza-
ton that death is near, probably not an
elephant man in the world to-day would
leave his strange calling. 1t has a fas-
cination of strange kind, and the keep
er becomes attached to the great brutes
that tremble at his word one instant
and the next may turn upon him and
trample him.
Good elephant men command good
pay.
Most of them live in state of con-
Slant watchfulness, realizing the
treacherous nature of the brutes, and
those who do not realize this sooner or
later are trampled or hurled to death.
1.-THE elephant is the most treacher-
ous moody, changeable animal in a
menagerie. They are twice as danger
GUS as tigers, lions or bears. The men
who handle the big cats in their cages
are forced to watch closely and carefully
while they are in the cages with them,
but that lasts only a short time.

on Furnace creek, in the same dis
trict as the property which Della

several rich properties struck in the
district. He has tale ledge that
runs $3.50 to the ton. The ore is

His financial transactions are carried
on by Third Vice President Girard of

outsiders are allowed to visit the Scott
claims. Warning signs are placed far
from the plant and the camp is forth

throwing bullets over mile, form the
battery, and spy glasses are used con-

men, selected by Scott, dig the ore.
