Perhaps twas a glance that dl3 1t;
A soft caress to my hair,
a close, warm grasp, or a gentle clasp
That captured it then and there,
You see. there are things you can govern
But hearts have "A way of their own,
Like birds they fly, you can't tell why
You only miss them when gone.
And why don't | tell the story
If the reason you really must learn
Is. though life grew bright with rosy light
Yet | won no heart in return.
Somebody's eyes We're gentle and kind,
And his voice WAS gent" and low;
But the heart | wanted was given away
Ever so long ago,
And SO while | solace "A lonely life
With a cat and a cup of tea.
Somebody's arm is about his wife
And her baby Is on his knee,
And the loss I met with results in this
That mine is a lonely part,
You can't for our life make n ovins wifi
OF a woman without a heart.
Another head rests on the manly breast
That | wanted to shelter me;
Some other fair face has won my place
And no mans wife I'll be.
compensation's a law of life,
And though trials the gods will send,
I've no one to scold when the beefsteak''

And no small stockings to mend.
So the love that is lost ! never regret.
When | think what troubles might be,
When dinner is late ! smile at fate,
And nobody storms at me.

Cincinnati, June lS.-John NJ. Pattison,
governor of Ohio, died at his home in
Milford, a suburb of this city, at APO
O'Clock his afternoon. He had passed a
good night and there had been no re-
port OF any serious change during the
day. During tho early afternoon the news
from his home was considered favorable
and the later announcement of death
came as a great shock to the governors

Mr.. Pattlson's death was due to
chronic intestinal nephritis,
Governor Pattison entered Office in

the political campaign having SO worn
on him that a trip to the South was
taken. After the election in November
It was said that he was suffering from
malaria. When he returned from the
South, he was still weak and his part
of the inauguration ceremonies was
carried out with care, A glass cover
ing was provided for the reviewing
stand that he might be protected from
the stormy January weather and
through that he reviewed the parade.

said to be filled with admiration at the
perfection Of system TO which circus man
agement has been reduced. 1t was the
very science Of administration. and the
officers found that each hours duties
were done with the precision which left
nothing u~naccounted for. There were
more than a thousand employees and
about four hundred horses, to say moth
ing OF the other animals. Everything was
transported without friction or delay, so
far as the circus people were concerned,
although difficulties were constantly COM
road facilities. The military observers
were impressed with the systematic work,
which would probably not be possible in
the army, for the reason that men must
be constantly changed. and the officer
who has charge OF transportation to-day
may be detailed to barrack instruction
next year. This uncertainty is more
prevalent now that most of the staff de-

UNFORTUNATE HUNTERS.
Their Dogs Got Drunk and Things
 Mlscarried Generally.

Lesueur. (Minn) Correspondence to St.
 Paul Pioneer Press
 The most unfortunate hunting expedi- ton engaged in by any of the citizens of Wheatley this fall was that undertaken by Henry Dolgan, Casper Thele and Goetlieb Doch, who drove out seventeen miles to the Preston meadows yesterday in search of game, They had gone only three miles from town when Doch, who had crept up behind straw stack to get shot at some crows in the field, missed the crows but set fire to the straw and had to pay SIS damages to the farmer who owned it. Then they lost their way and on a three mile wood track, through heavy timber, which they had to take to get to the right road again. they were compelled to follow load of hay at a snail's pace, so that it was high noon when they got to the lake.
 There they discovered when they pre- pared to eat their lunch that the brandy bottle had broken and its contents had soaked into sandwiches ruining them as food. They threw them aside; the three dogs at them, and were crazy drunk all the rest of the afternoon.
 The water spaniel swan in the icy wa ter of the lake and caught muskrats until he was nearly dead with the cold; then ran round and round in a circle to get warm. The coon dog tried to tree every thing there was in radius of a mile and finally settled on a book agent a mile from the camp. and kept him aloft till he fell to the ground from sheer ex- haustion just as Doch had found out about it. and had gone to drive the dog away. This cost Doch S damages to the book agents feelings.
 The bird dog chased all the prairie chickens pheasants and quail out of that section of the country, and then turned his attention so earnestly to the tame fowls on the farms that he was badly scalded twise and was loaded so he could not run with birdshot that the farmers fired into him.
 The hunters gave up in despair and when the dogs got so tired out that they could catch them and load them into the rig the men started for home, two riding and one walking, on account of the dogs.
 They had gone only half way home when one of the wheels of the rig ceased turning because of hot box. and they had to cut up the only game they had shot. a fat pheasant, to grease the axle with it in order that they might complete the journey.
