Autumnal Charm.

1t amt the ripe persimmons that makes
autumn good to me,
Nor TIE peaches nor the apples that
a-han2in' from the tree:
1t amt the leaves that turn to gold,
a-streWin' of the ground.
Nor yet the radiant sunsets which in
beauty so abound.
The glory of the season amt in anything
to eat.
Nor yet IN beauteous pictures that the
eve may love to greet;
But the thought that sets me smilin' an
my pulses beatn' quick
Is that the various booms are nearly ripe
enough to pick.
There's a certain genial sweetness that
p"rvaGes the atmosphere.
And a hint of melody that's lightly
waited far an near:
The song birds that in summer time
would carol from the Dough
Are totally surpassed by SonSsters who
are Warblin@ now.
And the fruit in its perfection on the
tree on the vino
Is nothing like as beautiful and nothing
like as fine
AS the perfected specimens. so luscious
and 50 thick
These various booms that now are nearly
ripe enough to pick.

maintained the attitude of a friendly

to show the Guatemalan government
the error of their ways, and will not
resort to that extreme unless some
over act or insult be committed which

officials of the Utah Fuel company
have already been indicted in Utah be-
cause of their alleged illegal opera
tions in that state. 1t is known that
many Colorado men will testify before
the grand jury that they filed on coal
lands at the request of an attorney
supposedly representing the Utah Fuel
company. later disposing Of their
claims to this attorney for $50 each.
The law governing the disposal of
coal lands by the government requires
the applicants to swear that they are
filing on the land solely for their own
use. Wholesale violations of this oath
have resulted in practically all the
valuable coal lands of the western
states becoming the property of great
railroad and other corporations hav-
ing their headquarters on Wall street.

The wreck occurred exactly at 2:35
o'clock, one hour and forty-five min
utes after the conclave visitors form
ing merry party had spent all the
morning sightseeing in Santa Bar

was making terrific speed when it
struck the defective track is borne out
by the fact that it covered the sixty

one hundred minutes.
