Guard Burns was the object of
considerable merriment by the
guards and foremen in the Irvine
shop last Friday. He noticed a
button on one of the supports.
The more he looked at it the more
curious he became. He pushed it,
and as it was an alarm stop, the
machinery instantly ceased to whir.
It will be many day before he
looks at another STOP button, as
he was handed some hot ones by
the guards.

This institution contains quite a
number at amateur artists who are
very clever at drawing. Some of
them draw pen-and-ink sketches
and others work with water colors.
We have seen the work of several
of these artists and their skill is to
be commended. As form of
recreation, drawing is fascinating
pastime, and in here it goes long
way toward preventing the mind
from getting rusty.

In talking with one of the pris-
oners the other evening in regard
to the 6nger-print system, he said
it could be beat easily. All one
had to do was to cut off the thumb
and presto, there could be no identi-
fication. Wonderful idea this!
No doubt this chap imagines that
thumbs grow on bushes.

Rev. Mr.. Benson, of the Swedish
Luthern church of this city,

Christians, and appealed to his

and to ask His forgiveness. Mr..
Benson is very forceful speaker,
and discourses in both Swedish

che endless Chain.

The snnbeams called to the billowy deep,
Come up and visit the wide. wide world"
So the waters deserted the oceans keep,
And far abroad by the winds were hurled.
'Gainst the azure hue of sunlit sky,
White was the drift of their fleecy spray;
At the dawn and eve when their king drew nigh,
Aglow was their path where his splendOrs lay.
But their stay was brief, for they couldn't resist
The deep as 1t called in alluring strain
Where the mountain heights stayed the speeding
mist,
They rushed to earth as a sweep of rain.
Down the rugged sides then the race began
Der the time-worn path to Old Oceans shore;
Thru the canyons rift and the dreary span
OF barren waste on the desert floor.
And they tarried awhile where the thirsty soil
Waited the touch of their magic wand;
With their timely aid was the fruitful spoil
Wrested away from the stubborn sand.
Then onward they raced where the tide of life
sweeps high and strong in the worldly fray,
Where the clamor and whirl of an endless strife
Hasten the dawn of Perfection's day.
The slumberiDg might of a nations mills
AwOke at the spur of their energies
To echo abroad DER a thousand hills,
The hum of myriad industries.
And ever boon was their crystal dover,
Alike at the humble or regal board;
SOlace to all in the stricken hour
When severed at length is the slender cord.
But now they are nearing the journeys end
OF u course o'er-travelled million fold,
And lost In the swirl where the waters blend
Is the wondrous story they might have told.
So reaching at last where the pillows leap,
Aloft they 60 In their turn again;
Thus needing the call of the sun and the deep.
Gifts do they bring to the needs of men.

FALLS HEIR TO FORTUNE.
John Bearss, an Elma Farmer, Gets
Delaware Estate Worth 100000.

ELMA, Wash, March 31.-John
Bearss has received word that he is
heir to a fortune of $4,000 and that
he will Immediately come into pos
session of it. The news did not come
as a surprise to Mr.. Bearss, as the
fortune has been held in trust for
many years. Coupled with the story
of this fortune is the history of two
remarkable men, brothers, who lived
a century ago in Wilmington, Del.
One was wealthy and the other poor
and a bitter quarrel ensued and SO
bitter did the rich brother feel to-
ward the other that he made a re-
markable will whereby he determined
to prevent his brother from ever en-
joying a dollar of his wealth. When
death drew near, a will was made
whereby his fortune was left in trust
to be held for SO years and at the
end of that time to be distributed
among his descendants. The long
:.
is up for the distribution of the for
tune that was left SO many years ago
by one who no one now living ever
saw.
The fortune has been carefully
guarded, well invested; many anxious
eyes have wistfully looked toward it's
distribution in the hope of living to
be able some day to enjoy a portion
of it. Millions are now represented
by what was left in trust so many
years ago and today it is one of the
big estates in the state of Delaware.
John Bearss has taken the news of
his good fortune very quietly and
continues as of yore to work his
farm near town; he is man of ex-
cellent habits, well thought of by his
friends and will now spend the bal
ance of his life in comfort. He is 40
years old and has wife an one small
child.
