coon TIMES ALONG THE CREEK

What n treasure-troye the old creek Is
What riches Of natures stores are his
meath its rippling surface, Or displayed
along It's basins.
The creek itself is wonderful. Away
surprising you with its wayward fancie
/ and restlessness. Here it runs aIon,
smoothly, in seeming content there i
broadens out and its waters ripple anG
and swish over and around rocks without
number then it divides ID shows You In
its middle as pretty little Island as you
might wish for yonr pirates cave; often
it bends aud curves ina way that keeps
you In the height Of expectancy. wonder
ing what new view will streach before
you.
What comfortable places the banks of
the creek affordsl There. to give grateful
Fshade, are the fringes OF oak, dogwood,
birch, beach and witch-hazel trees
the last variety so called because iii ths
early days Of our country old men and
women thought to be wicIes gathered
the roots and used the jnices as cure for
all ills..
Here, too, you see the beautiful swamp
cabbage, standing in place wherethe mud
has collected, with its purple folds
rolled up in pointed bundles. Near it
wave the tassels ofthe swamp alder, and
close by you see the spotted leaves and
stalks Of the yellow adders' tongue.
Snake feeders glide here and there,
and without thinking, you look
eagerly around for the snake, but
nothing but wee toals and gra.shoopers
greet your eye.
Where the thorny greenbriers cluster
the hardy robins winter and the pheas-
ants aud quail eat the seeds and hide
there from their enemies.
Over the water the bank swallow skips
sometimes touching the surface just as
do the stones you shy across to the other
side. The kingfsher dives after his meal
and the green heron, too, darts after min
now or pollywog. Right above you the
catbird scolds or laughs mockingly.
Along the bank the muskrat has his
home. Just under the waters edge he
digs his hole. 1t slants upward for quite
distance. and at the end Of it is his neat
nice and dry. The mnskrat and the rae
coon both liked musseIs, which they dig
from beds in the muddy shallow. Beside
some stone or tree near the water, you
will see piles Of these shells, where the
animal has eaten their contents.
If you care to fish, the sunfish provides
just as good sport as the mountain trout.
Among the sand and pebbles it builds its
nest and fercely drives away its enemies.
Even club, red fin. or a catfish may
come to your hook. OF course you'll
catch lots Of minnows, but who wants
minnows?
Frog eggs swing from the branches of
plants under water The stupid looking
tadpoles you see frisking about. From
log or stone near the bank yellow and
speckled throated frogs, propped up on
their bowlegs, watch you solemnly.
Tortoises and turtles plunk inttg the |
water and are lost sight OF. You know
the ribs Of the tortoise are united their
whole length, while those OF the turtle
are seperate at the ends.
Oh yes, there's lots to be seen. After
you've had refreshing swim and lie
there under shady tree you don't feel
like ever moving-eyen to go heme for
TO eat-North Amcricdn.

j Ah! you are going to tell me
that she loves you? A girl Of
that age cannot be expected to
know her own mind. and my
daughter will do as tell her.
Then you can give me no hope2
None whatever, and, more than
that, ! must forbid you to speak
to her again.
Pardon me, sir, but you can
not do that. You have already
dismissed me, and Lam now my
own master. Until Claire tells
me with her own lips that our
acquaintance must end, / will
use every opportunity of seeing
her, and live in hopes that one
day she will be mine.
| In that case I shall know how
to act, and We need not prolong
this interview, Mr.. Robson.
| Then good bye, Mr.. Freeman.
| But Chris. Robson, with all his
brave show, left the Offices of.
Freeman & Co. with a sick and
weary heart. All his fond hopes
and aspirations were dashed to-
the ground, and nothing was
left of his happy prospects but a
sad memory and an unavailing
regret.
He spent the day in melan-
choly thought, andin the evening
sat brooding over the fire; the
red embers cast a lurid glow on
his handsome face, and lit up the
room with fitful fichers. $50 en-
crossed was he that he did
not hear the door open, and then
a hand on his shoulder made him
turn.

feet, and he bent over and look
ed into her face.
Oh! Chris. dear, am SO un-
happy; why is the world all
wrong?
don't know, dear; but tell-me
what your father said.
That he had discharged you
for loving me, and-and he wants
me to-to think of Rawdon
Gross.
Rawdon Cross?
Yes; he saved the firm, you

something-and his sister is

day.
And your father said nothing
about it to me, but told me that
the firm would have to go.

through Dad? But / would never

Frederick w. Mulkey of Portland

Senator Fulton was busy all day

IT WILL
SOON Be
CIRCUS DAY
RlngIing Bros. With the Biggest Show
On Earth Here Aug. 2S


batic act ever seen is being pre-
scented by the Marnello-Marnite fam
lily, just brought over from Europe
| by Ringing Brothers circus. 1t is
what might be termed an acrobatic
Swiss bell-ringing act, as the mem
bers of the troup while turning
somersaults and handsprings, play
operate music on sweet-toned bells.
/ 1t is an acrobatic act that has the
singular quality of appealing also
to the ear.
Another novel European act to be
seen with this circus is performed
by the Patty brothers, who walk on
their heads, go up stairs and jump
the rope without using their hands.
Still another specially which ap-
proaches the sensational is the aero
batic feats of the two De Rocks and
their wonderful dog, which makes
a third member of the team with
quite as much skill to it's credit as
its companions, and even more when
you come to consider that tits but
dog. This remarkable animal jumps
to the shoulders of one of the men,
then climbs on the acrobat's head,
where he stands upright on his hind
feet. The third acrobat mounts to
the head OF the dog and balances
there, head down and feet straight
up, the dog bearing the weight with
out a ,tremor, while the man below
walks around the ring.
In spectacular effect, nothing in
the acrobatic line has ever ap-
preached the act OF the Mirze Col m
troup, loaned by the Shah of Persia
10 Ringing Brothers. The cleverest
of posturing, casting and footwork
Is all done from high pedestals, and
the effect is amazing. Also featured
among this class of performers are
the great Belfords. No circus fam
lily of this special style OF work can
in any way approach them. Their
act is the perfection of acrobatic
skill. The Legard troup, Marguerite
and Hanley, the Borsenis and the
Alvarez trio are other groups of
acrobats new to this country, who
have won great distinction In the
arenas OF Europe.
All OF the 800 performers with
this great circus are picked from
among the worlds greatest arenic
stars. The riders, the tumblers,
clowns. aerialists, wire performers,
dugglers and all. excell in all that
they do. The program offered this
year is far better than the Ringing
Brothers have ever before presented.
so II will be readily seen that no
other circus In the world can begin
10 compare with II. With the best
and longest OF all street parades and
a complete menagerie in addition,
there can be no question that the
people of Salem will have the OPP
portunity of enjoying the greatest
circus day OF their lives when the
most excellent of all tented shows
appears here Wednesday, Aug. 2S.
