Ghe grave Of a child who died at the
age of few days:
Sweet maid, she glanced into our world
TO see
A sample Of our misery
She turned away her languid eye
To drop q tear or two and sigh.
Sweet maid. she tasted Of lfe's bitter
cup,
Refused 10 drink her portion up
She turned her little head aside.
Disguised with the taste. and died.

EALING OF The LEAVES.
The Wind In the Autumn Really Has
Very Little to Do With 1t.

Very Little to DO With 1t.
When the storm clouds gather behind
the brown autumnal woods and cold
winds begin to blow. then the bright
leaves come drifting down in futtering
fast thickening showers until it almost
seems as if the wind were the active
agent and actually tore the leaves from
the trees. This, Of course, is not the
case The leaf fall only becomes posi-
bic after a long preparation on the part
Of the tree, which forms a peculiar
layer Of cells in each leaf stem called
the cleavage plate.
This cleavage plate, or separation
layer. consists Of a section Of loosely
attached thin walled cells with a few
strands OF stronger woody fiber in
among them, so. in the early autumn,
although the leaves appear as firmly
attached as ever before. they are really
only held on the tree by these few
woody strands and the outer brittle
skin or epidermis Of the stem. Now
only a slight shock or wind furry is
sufficient 10 break the fragile support
and bring the leaves in showers to the
ground We may see these woody
strands broken through in the leaf scar
Of the horse chestnut. where they APP
pear as little rounded projections on
the broken surface and are often spok-
en- of from their fancied resemblance
TO the nails Of a horseshoe. The hick-
DRY and ash among other trees have
similar markings on their leaf scars
and from the same cause. On the root
Of the wild sarsaparilla. which projects
just above the ground. 4 like series Of
little projections viii be seen upon the
ringlike scar which surrounds the bud
where the leaf stalk has inst separated
Often the leaves separate and fall
even on the Quietest days, for their
own weight is sufficient TO break the
fral support. These hushed and su-
premeIy tranquil days we all remem-
Der. when our October walks gre ac-
companed by the soft. small sounds %

Boards and Battles.

Shaggy locks and pauiarchal boards
have proved highly inconvenient things
on the battlefield. Does not history
record that Alexander ordered the
Macpdonians to bc shaved lest their
boards should give a handle to their
enemies: Peter the Great was also q
friend OF the BARRIERS, for lie not only
ordered ali ranks TO he shaver. but
caused officers to 90 about to cut off

ROBERT vROOMAN RECAPTURED
Escaped Prisoner Retaken at Rock
ford. III.

Escaped Prisoner Hetnken At ROCK
ford, III.
Robert Vroomsn, who. IN company with
Harry Baker. escaped from the county
Jail on the night Of March 10 this year,
has been recaptured and is now on his
way back to Council Bluffs in custody OF
Sheriff Canning. Vrooman was arrested at
Rockford. ILL.,, last Friday, and Sheriff
Canning went for him Saturday.
Vroomsn and Baker were under arrest on
the charge of stealing about $1,000 worth
of copper and brass fixings belonging to
threshing and other engines, the property
of the Westinghouse and the David Bradley
companies. They had been placed on the
second floor of the county Jail, following
an attempt of Charles Stevenson, confined
with them on the third floor. to cause a
jail delivery. with the iron angle bar
forming the support OF q wash basin.
vrooman and Baker succeeded in wrench
ing two bars of the partition separating
them from the iron door apart They
managed TO unscrew the inside plate Of
the lock Of the door. and thus gain ad-
mttance to the outer landing where from
the window over the entrance OF the build
ing, they Jumped to the ground.
Vrooman was a resident of this city and
recently the sheriffs force learned he was
in Illinois, but exactly where they did not
know. At the time Of the Jail break cards
bearing Vroomans and Bakers descrip-
lions, with the offer of a reward for their
capture, were sent broadcast, and this led
to Vrooman's capture in Rockport
Up to date the authorities have been un-
able to secure any trace of Baker.

their offices. Very few people can UNDER
stand the new law and there is almost
sure to be a strong move made at the
next session to repeal the present law,
which was a compromise measure put
through on the very last day of the
sion after it had been in conference COM
mittee. Under the new law those whose
terms were extended one year under tho
biennial election law are to be elected
for a two-year term The term Of some
members will now expire January l, 1901
and some others will expire January 1,
1908. At this election their successors
will be selected for terms of three years
and beginning with the election in 1898
supervisors will be elected for three-year
terms, but always a year and two months
before they take office. The complication
Of the law is its Objectionable feature.
