Camping Song.

Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR?
Has your greeting lost Its cheerf
Is your daily stunt burden?
Is your laughter half a sheer?
There's a medicine to cure you,
There's a way to lift your load,
With a horse and a saddle and a
mile of open road.
Ii your eyeball growing bilious?
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life a blind delusion.
Or a grim, unlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty,
There's a help that cannot fall,
In a day behind the burros,
On a dusty mountain trail.
Come out, old man. we're going
To land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies are resting
On snowy mountain marge.
When we camp in Gods own country,
You will find yourself again,
With fire and blanket and the
stars upon the plain!-Bliss

When, during the day. butcher went
to the stockyard of the Blackpool
Tower Company at South Shore,
where sick and reserve animals for

fed to find the three lions roaming
at will about the yard. He obtained
assistance, and drove them back to
the cage. where the mangled and
half-eaten body of a man was then
discovered On the remains being re-
covered, they were found to be those
of a carter named Livesey, who was
in the employ of the Tower Company.
He had been heard to express his
intention of going into the cage
where the lions we're kept, and late
on Saturday night he was seen to
enter the stockyard with another
man. Cries of fear were afterward
heard, coming from within, and short
ly afterward a man was seen run

manager of the Tower Company
states that Livesey had no right to
go into the cage.-London Pail Mall

HENRY sLA1E DEAD.
The Noted spiritualistic Medium Dies
in a Michigan Sanatarium, Aged 30.

The Noted Spiritualistic Medium Dies
in Michigan Sanatarium, Aged 30.
Henry Slade, the noted spiritualis-
tic medium, who died recently In the
Bedding, Michigan, Sanatarium with
nobody to claim his remains, as stated
by a despatch from there to supposed
relatives at Lockport, N. Y, was
Niagara county man. He was one OF
the most noted slate writer's in the
world and created great sensation
years ago. He exhibited his weird
and so-called occult powers before
most Of the crowned heads of Europe.
Some of his performances, it Is said,
baff1ed the close investigation OF
scientists.
Henry Slade was about 80 years old
at the time of his death. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs William Slade OF
Johnson's Creek, and was born IN
that little hamlet in the town OF Hart
ford, Niagara county, when most OF
the county was wilderness. The
SHADES were among the first settlers.
Henry attended the district school and
later went to a local seminary
One of Henry's schoolboy friends
was Abe Taylor, the patriarch OF
Johnson's Creek, he is now over 80.
Mr.. Taylor relates that Slade. when
a mere youth, used to exhibit his
strange powers in a manner that made
their blood creep. He could make
table with lighted lamp lean toward
him by mere motion OF the hands.
The table, which he did not touch,
would incline to an angle of 45 de-
grees, yet the lighted lamp would
maintain its equilibrium and never up
set. He could place his hand on top
of piano when 81 years of age and
lift both piano legs off the floor.
Over animals he presented mar
velous influence. He was known as
a great colt breaker and bull tanner.
He used to entertain his young
friends by slate writing and many OF
them held him in absolute awe.
Slade left Lockport when about 81
and began his tours later. In New
York he turned away great crowds.
He went to Europe and Kings and
Queens and their courts gave. him
audiences. Emperor Napoleon III.
gave him a three caret diamond. 1t
is said he was at one time worth
million.-New York Sun.

yankee Doodle" an Irish Jig.
Mr.. W. H. Grattan Flood writes:

MT. W. n. UrdttdH + IoUu WTIt5Ss
Will you allow me to point out to
you that the tune Of Yankee Doodle"
is an old Irish Jig of the early eigh-
teenth century, well known In Ireland
still as "All the Way to Galway"
Your statement that it was composed
by DR.. Schuckburgh is a slip. You
probably meant that he wrote the
doggerel words. which is generally
admitted, but he merely adapted his
verses to the Irish jig, which was
printed as Yankee Doodle" in 1882.

Arnold into his 1.-TWO to One" LON
