SUMMER UP THE HOLLOW.

Oh it's summer up the hollow,
An smile is on the skies,
An a slumber song is stealth on the
breeze,
An it's evry bird lendin'
Tune into the paradise
OF clingin' vine an shady forest trees
When it's summer in the hollow
Then it's summer in the heart,
An it fingers in the young an in the
old,
An the summers up the hollow
Kinder stand themselves apart
Like a paintin' in frame of purest
gold.
Ever hear the red bird singin'
On rosy summer morn,
An the blue jay calm back across
the hill?
An it's sweet to hear at twilight
Round the place where you
The serenadin' of the whippoorwill.
Ever get away at dawnin'
Through the diamondtinted dew
Hang your basket on linn above the
stream,
Drop your line INTO Jne water
Where the bass are waitin you?
It's the crown of summers happy
dream.
Oh, it's summer up the hollow,
An the wild flowers are in bloom
An the mornin' glory's wavin' full
an fair
Mid a rift of noddin roses,
An it leads me to presume
That old nature lends to these her
dearest care.
Oh, let's wander up the hollow
For we'll find the warmest cheer
An we'll stop along the way at DAN
iel's spring,
There We'll find the gourd ahangin'
Ger the water cool and clear,
An well tarry there to hear the cat
bird sing.
An we'll hunt up old MeGregor,
An we'll mix him up dram
Then he's boun' to make you know
his table fare,
An he'll give us fryin' chickens
An some good old country ham,
Les be goin', for ] long to be up
there.

PROSPECTOR GETS
A FREE SHAVE

A prospector had very severe eX-
perience the other day in Death Val
ley and his poor old burro shared
with him his miseries and discom-
forts.
They had travelled along the val
ley nearly all day. The sun had been
pouring down intensely hot and they
had consumed the last bit of water
in the cans on the Jacks" and in the
canteen. They were suffering from
horrible thirst when the burro scent
ed water and made for it. The burro
waded right into the pool, but the
prospector jumped in, boots and all.
He was no sooner in than out, for he
noticed a tingling sensation that told
him that all was not as it should be.
The burro reached the same conclu-
when both had time to reflect the
prospector was shaved as clean of all
hair from head to foot as mortal
man could be- and so was the burro
to the height of where the water had
reached him.
The springs are what are known
as the Bitter Springs" and though
it does not kill unless drunk to eX-
cess, the water has the effect of re-
moving hair as slick as boiling wa
ter Both man and burro were seen
in town Sunday and they were the
slickest looking pair that anyone
could gaze upon.
Another spring, fortunately, was in
close proximity to the poisoned one,
where both camped for the night,
and after due reflection decided that
matters might have been worse. The
burro swallowed a mouthful, but not
enough to have any effect. The pros
pector had not taken any. Bitter
Springs are poisonous, and it was a
miracle that both did not suffer death
The bones and skeletons of many
were strewn abou and even a no.
tice of danger, but being thirsty, they
drank, investigating afterward, with
the above result.-Las Vegas Age

A little later Johnson entered the
room, flashed his plate-glass exhibit
showed his teeth, shook hands all
around and sat down to nurse his
cane. If ever black man was anX-
ious to please, ii was the big smudge
from Galveston.
Scuse me, gentlemen he said,
"Ah desiah to say few wuuds to
Mistah O'Brien." Then turning to
the Philadelphia, Johnson asked for
battle in case O'Brien defeated
Burns. O'Brien side-stepped very
neatly and after Johnson had swung
few conversational hooks and failed
to connect with anything but windy
persifiage, he tried Burns.
"Mistah Buhns, Aid like to asst
you the same question. In case 20

"Sure." said Burns. Any time
McCarey here will give us a date,"
IF McCarey will stage it, said

CANS IS DISTURBED
BY HAS BEEN RUMORS

Both Cans and Willie Keefe, who
has trained the champion in his re-
cent fights, are perturbed over the
reports that have been going the
rounds as regards Cans condition.
Many of the fight fans, since the Nell
son reversal, have been wagging their
heads and saying that Joe would also
be found in the has been" class af-
ter the roll is called on the 9th of
September.
Joe declares that he is as good as
ever and he is strongly backed up
by Keefe.
4 wish you would say for me, >
declared Keefe, as he was holding
the watch when Cans was boxing
with Fred Landers, that Joe is in
good shape. l have been with him
before and from the training that he
has done, | know he is all right to-
day and that his Goldfeld fight did
not hurt him. We have been going
at it easy since we returned from Los
Angeles, but from now on it will be
hard work for a few days. Joe has
been doing some boxing when there
was a big crowd at the gym, but it
will be a regular course.
Cans work yesterday consisted of
a spin on the Alameda county roads
in the morning, and boxing in the af-
ternoon. He didn't try to hit the To-
other exercise of the same nature
His blocking with Landers was easily
the best of his program yesterday af-
ternoon. He didn't tidy to hit the To-
cal boy, but Landers wasn't able to
land either. though he tried hard
enough for three rounds.
After his shower bath and rub
down, Cans made 1877 Y pounds on
the scales and said he was satisfied
with his showing. With the fight
with Jimmy Britt two weeks off, the
question of getting down to 1873 is
not perpleXing the colored boy.

Jimmy Britt was softly snoozing
In his sunny Fillmore flats;
He was resting soft and easy,
Since he fractured Nelson's Stats.
He was seeing lovely vision
In that after-dinner dream
But he awoke and ran for cover
When he heard somebody scream:

There's niger in the woodpile
Who has got his lamps on you;
There's black man in the doorway
And a sure-thing bugaboo;

He is after one Charles Edward.

Meanwhile. a very carefully Thought

The scheme is based on tho encour-

A savings bank is never very
matron putting aside the proverbial
NEST egg," or, still more, smiling
young mothers depositing in trust for
the first baby, there are ten sad-faced
women in black, many of them with
widows wells.
This was especially true recently
when the panic sent anxious deposit
ors by the hundreds to draw out their
small savings. and it was therefore es-
pecially refreshing to see in THAI
crowding somber line not Lola from
Berlin" but Marguerite from Italy, a
trim, bright-eyed little woman with a
scarlet handkerchief around her neck
and her uncovered, glossy, black locks
puffed and braided and curled as if
for an Inauguration ball.
She waited patiently-even cheer

it was two o'clock before her turn

she gave the wearier man behind the
little window a confiding smile as
she handed him her bank book and
said:
Il want it ALL
He glanced at the book and count
ed out 1912 in one-dollar bills.
THAT mine!" gasped the little
woman.
The teller nodded.
She fingered the bills, looking more
puzzled. The woman behind her was
almost crying with Impotence. The
line swayed as If it had been row of
bricks and some one had hit the last
brick in the row. Still Marguerite
folded and unfolded the bills; she had
all the repose of her native land.
You sure" she said at last. You
sure these all mine."
"All yours" the man answered, Ia
conically.
Ordinarily he would have told her
she was blocking the line, but this
day he saw no objection to the delay.
She ventured one more question:
You sure these mine-these dollars?

These are all yours he assured

She flashed him a glimpse of white
teeth.
"All right, then" she said, idiomat-
ically. "Tony-my mamie tell me
my money not here. He say, take it
all out say: I go see.'"
Then untying the corner of a red
handkerchief and taking from it a
five-dollar gold piece and several
grimy bills she added them to the pile
in front of her and pushed the whole
toward the astonished bank official.
You put them all back" she COM
