Helen.

She sits within the white oak hall,
Hung with the trophies of the chase
Helen a stately maid and tall,
Dark haired and pale of face;
With dropping lids and eyes that brood,
sunk in the depths of some strange
mood,
Waiting the perfume of their native wood
The wind is whining in the garth,
The leaves are at their derVish rounds,
The flexible flames upon the hearth
Hang out their tongues like painting
hounds.
The fire deem, she holds in thrall;
Its red light fawns as she lets fall
Escalloped pine cones, dried and brown,
From loose, white hands, till up and
The colored shadows dye the dusky wall
The tawny lamp fame tugs its wick:
Upon the landing of the stair
The ancient clock Is heard TO tick
In shadows dark as Helen's hair;
And by a gentle accolade
A squire to languid silence made,
l lean upon my palms, with eyes
Ger which a rack OF fancy flies,
While dreams like gorgeous sunsets famS
and fade.
And as I muse on Helen's face,
Within the firelght's ruddy shine,
It's beauty takes an olden grace
Like hers whose fairness was divine;
The dying embers leap, and 10!
Troy wavers vaguely all aglow,
And in the north wind leashed without
hear the conquering Argives' shout;
And Helen feeds the flames as long agoE

JUDGES DECREE
GIVES CLAIMANT
TITLE TO FORTUNE
Last Official Act of District
Judge Restores Title to
1900 Acres.

Armour, 8. d.. April 10.-The last Of
fcial act Of Judge z. @. Smith OF the
First circuit, before assuming his place
on the supreme bench, was to sign q
decree in the case Of Cole We. Churchill,
conveying TO Geo. d. Cole, now or
Brooking, but formerly OF this place,
title to a one-half interest In about
1,200 acres of land in Chas Mix county
county in the vicinity OF Wheeler.
Cole and one VIM. II. Burt were In
business together, first at Lake Benton,
Mimi, and later at Wheeler In the
ranching business.
At the request of Mr.. Burt the title
TO all the Wheeler lands was placed In
the name of Edwin F. Churchill, q
nephew OF Burt's. All was well until
Burt left Wheeler and Cole wanted title
10 his half OF the lands. A little later
Mr.. Burt died and then Churchill
claimed to be the absolute owner OF the
ranch. II was to obtain his rights
that Mr.. Cole started the action In
1902.
II has been a hard fought case with
Mr.. wanzer as attorney for the plain
tiff, and French e. Orvis OF Yankton,
as attorneys for the defendant. the
odds were heavily against Cole by
reason of the fact that owing to the
death OF his former partner, ne per
sonally, could not testify to any trans
action or conversation between them
and as no books had been kept after
going 10 Wheeler and no settlement had
ever been had between the partners,
II was q heavy handicap to have 10
prove.
The case has been tried before the
Judge at chambers in Yankton, at hve
different times, resulting in complete
victory for Mr.. Cole, the final decree
giving him what he asked for In MS
original complaint.
