Your petals once, o withered rose,
Had fragrance which ehey claim nc
more,
And she who wore you, l suppose,
Has lost the bloom she had of yOre.
How many years have passed since she
Removed yal from her gentle breast
And, signing landed you to me
To be conceded beneath my vest!
o withered roo, to me you bring
a thousand ioughts of bygone days;
Around your ded petals cling
Sweet mem RES of winding way.
But was it Isabel or Grace
Or blushing Juliet or Marie
Who trembling, took you from your place
Upon her gentle breast-for me?

Minnesota Men Grubbing for Pearls
in Local Waters.
Many of the prominent citizens OF Red
Wing. Mimi, have turned clam fishers.
1t is claimed that during the last year
seven different clam fishers found pearls
ranging in value from ST. 600 to $lOO,OOO
and hundreds of the dggers and sorters
have discovered jewels worth respectable
sums. Clam digging is as hard an occu-
patton as is possible to conceive and can
only be withstood by the stoutest of men,
Several months ago a poor digger found
pearl worth presumably 100000 and
several other discoveries followed in the
same bed. The natural result was that
hundreds of the people from the surround
ing country rushed to the scene OF the
finds and many well-known people donned
the rough diggers' outfit and gathered IN
the shells which possibly might bring a
fortune to them. A few had good sue
cess, but the majority found that their
quest was useless and soon gave up the

question not yet settled is whether
Honduras will become a party to the
negotiations at this time. 1t is rea-

to compel Guatemala to face two for

time. Honduras will probably agree
to the settlement arranged by the two

The negotiations, it is stated, will
doubtless be held on board the Amer
