In the morning just as sunrise
Draws the curtain of the day.
Ny waking thoughts oft wander
To the pine heights far away,
Where in fancy l am roaming
And list to waters flow
Though Its voice is but an echo
OF the brook 1 used to know.
When the day in noontide splendor
Floods the earth with light and heat.
Then the forests shade l welcome
With happiness complete.
Far away from noise and hustle
And where gentle breezes blow,
Though their whisperings only echo
The sweet songs / used to know
When the evenings crimson glory
Paints with magic brush the west,
Then my fancy loves to linger
On the lofty mountains crest,
Where the many pine and fir trees,
Swaying gently to and fro,
Nurmur only restful secrets
Of the scenes l used to know
Though the day has long since faded,
| still dream-dream on and on;
. Though the Past has gone forever,
Still is Memory true and strong.
Well [ love the rugged mountains
Love each stately pine-clad crest.
May they stand like guards forever
Round my loved home in the west.

Hanging Gardens of Helena.

1.-THE strangest and most interesting
park projects ever undertaken in this
country is to be found at Helena,
Mont" writes John H. Raftery In
Technical World Magazine for July,
where the citizens are engaged in
Transforming the bald slopes of a con-
ical mountain, which towers nearly L.
400 feet above the city, into a forest
park. 8
There is no spring, we'll, brook or
pond upon the bare sides or rocky
SUBMITS of this singular park; nor will
it be possible to raise water from he
valley for the irrigation of trees, shrubs
and flowers. yet the expert foresters
of the federal bureau who spent last
summer planning for the planting Of
the park are agreed that several va
rieties Of evergreen trees will flourish
there without water or attendance.
"a spiral footpath has been graded
from the city to the summit of Mt.
Helena, and there an ornate pavilion
has been erected Upon the highest point
of rock, 1,4oo feet above the main
street. In. the cliffs Of the peak there
are two spacious natural caves, which
will be tenanted by specimens of the
native bears, lions and other carnivora
of these mountains. Parks inclosing
herds OF deer, antelope, moose, elk and
buffalo will be added as the present
limits Of the tract are extended upon
the desert lands which lie back of the
mountain

Women Who Wear Explosive Gowns,

Science. which lately furnished a
mechanical substitute for the horse,
has now set about putting the lowly
silkworm out of business" writes CLAIR
ence Hutton, in Technical World Mag
azine for July.
Almost unknown in the United
States. the manufacture of artificial
silk has been on a commercial basis in
France for several years, the daily pro.
duction being now about seven tons.
In forming a chemical compound cor
responding to the viscous fluid out o:
which the silk worm spins his delicate
thread. the French chemists found.
strangely enough, that the best sub
stitute was a solution of gun cotton.
which also serves as the basis for the
most powerful n deadly of modern
explosives. To what extent this gun
cotton silk is relieved of its explosive
qualities before being woven into laces
and dress fabrics, seems to be some-
what questionable. Certainly a young
wonlan gowned in gun cotton and
wearing a dainty n~itroglycerin wrap
about her white shoulders, would be a
most formidable not to say dangerous

Sterling Man Denies Certain Statements
About That Ballot Matter.

Robert Baxter, of Nj sterling. was
in Logan Saturday, aud when inter
viewed in regard TO the Mt. Sterling
ballot matter lie characterized reports
Of his connection with the difficulty
as thoroughly misleading, a tissue of
| miscellaneous almost as a whole. and
| he asked THAT his statement be given
the public, This is substantially as
follows:
On election morning Mr. Baxter was
up bright aud early. having decided to
bring a oad Of his famous cracked
wheat to this city He was ready to
leave Sterling before the polls were
open, and desiring to vote waited until
the proper hour. He was the first
voter, and happened to notice that
ballot No ) had been given him. Mr.
Baxter inquired casually of one of the
judges as to where the other two were,
and received the reply. "Oh, they
must be about soma place Mr. Bax.
ter thought no more about IT,, went
into the booth aud voted, and then
came on 10 Logan with the load of
wheat, arriving here about 10 o'clock.
According to Mr. Baxter, the ballot
matter did not again enter his head
until about three or four o'clock in the
afternoon when, as he was watering
his team at the trough in front of the
court house, Treasurer Parkinson came
from the court yard, handed him a
ballot and asked him If he would de-
liver it TO the election judges at Mt.
Sterling. He said he would, and Presi-
dent Parkinson returned TO the court
house.
As Mr. Baxter started to climb back
onto his wagon, he wondered whether
the election Judges at Sterling would
know what to do with the ballot, once
