PAYING THE PRICE.

Sporty and fiashy and swift and gay.
Tempted and yielding and weak snS
frail;
Lured by the lights of the great white
way,
Caught with the goods, and turning
pale;
Careless and nervy; 'I'm game; l stole;
/ know I'm fool, and it wasn't nice;
But I've had my day, and I've scared my
soul,
And now amready topay the pricel''
But the people who pay the price are
those
Who wait athome in the agonized throes
OF grief and burden and shame and care
And the long blank years of deep
despairi
Jaunty and foolish and plucky and flip,
Cards and races and women and wine;
Youth, with its red check stained, and
its lip,
Just for day of the fare and shine
OF life where the floodtide sweeps and
swings
Caught, and his wrists in handcuff's s
wise:
Pale, in the dock. while scared heart
sings:
I'm guilty, and ready to pay the
pricep'
But, yonder, in pallof and grief and tears,
A woman is paying the price through
the years;
Shamed and stricken, her red cheeks
flown,
A young wife paying it all alonel
Joy rides, poker, and song and dance,
Jovial and gallant-young life is sweet
Where money is gained at demon s
chance,
And we think we are living on Easy
street;
Traced and bounded and hailed to court
Sullen and shattered, and in trice
weakly mumbling, with lips distort:
I've been good fellow; I'll pay the
pricer'
No, not you. but mother pale,
hiding her shame meath q tear-stained
veil;
A broken-hearted and lonely wife.
Paying the price with her fresh young
hfeI
Willing to pay the price. you cry;
But you can't-the children have got
to pay,
The worn old dad, and the mother nigh,
And the wife with the shadows across
her way:
Shadows and shame and the long despair:
You took thegold, and it wasn't nice.
FOR these on whose shoulders you've
laid the care
Innocent loved ones-must pay the
price:
Father and mother and child and wife.
Friends who have followed YOU all YOUR
life:
Halt! put it back, be true. be a man
'Tis the only way and the noblest plan,
by the Bentztown Bard.

The Sixth Sense of Senator Gore.

Most interested of all statesmen
watching the fights of the Wright
brothers near Washington was blind
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma. watch
ing'' was the word he used. He COM
planned. too, that the flights confiicted
with the baseball games which ne
wanted to "see.''
This sort of thing is not affectatlon.
It illustrates the extent to which this
blind man has devoted sixth sense.
A word in his ear enables him TO re-
construct the picture or scene DeIore
him as a scientist builds an extinct
animal from a fossil tooth. Mrs.
Gore. the Senator's devoted wife, IS
usually at his side to supply the word.
Through her eyes he saw" the aero
plane. Through her eyes he reads, :,
the newspapers, law, literature and
political economy. !.
But do not picture Senator Gore in
any helpless, clinging fashion. He
is the youngest member of the United
States Senate and one of its proml-
nent members and ablest debaters
while still in his thirty-ninth year.
He achieved this himself. His afflc-
ton brings him some helpful consider
alton, some unusual attention, DOUBT
less, but he neither needs nor ASKS
for favors on account of it.
In person Senator Gore is OF meoi-
um height, broad shouldered and well
built, with plump, youthful race ana
yellow hair. When he speaks he mas
a trick of holding bit OF paper in MS
hand, which he seems to consult.

Running Away from a Wildcat.

Altho Game-warden Morgan OF Los
Angeles failed to shoot any mountain
lions during his recent vacation, ne
and his party did not return empty
handed. They managed to slay t1Ve
wildcats, eleven coyotes, $50 jack-rab-
bits and a number of deer, duck and
quail. Besides the five wildcats which
they bagged, there was one they didn't
get. and thereby, says the Los Angeles
Times, hangs the following tale.
When the cats were encountered IN
a group by a hunter in advance OF
Morgan and Fred Johnson, the man
in advance blazed away and killed
three-bang bang p! bang Just
like that, Morgan says. The warden,
who was scrambling up hill, plugged
two others; but the biggest one OF the
lot tore down the mountalnS1de W1tnln
twenty feet of Morgan, making one
leap of thirty feet into dry wash,
along which Johnson was making his
way.
Johnson was out for bear, or almost
anything but wildcats. In holster
he carried a revolver; in his belt was
an immense huntingknife, and over
his shoulder was shotgun.
The big mountain pussy, tearing
toward him ike prOJoCIlle 1IoA q
battle ship, seemed to turn Johnson's
superheated hunting-blood into ice
water. Turning like a man who had
left his carfare at home, he raced
for the camp, only short distance,
where women of the party breathlessly
watched the animal as it swiftly gain
ed on the fleeing form. Off flew john
sons hat; his revolver popped out OF
his pocket and his cleaning hunting
knife fell in his wake; but the wildcat
kept on gaining.
Breathless and white, Johnson final
Iy reached his camp, having turned his
head not once in his fight. There he
found the women convulsed, and as
soon as he could sputter out an inter-
rogation he found why.
About halfway from where he began
the race the cat turned suddenly to the
side and dashed into the brush, where
it was lost to sight. The women saw
this, knew Johnson was safe, and their
fun came in viewing the scared hunter
in his fight from danger that was only
imiginary.

thing with a malign influence in the
house. On finding the coffin lid she
begged her hostess to get rid of it.
(0 The coffin lid was sent to a
Baker street photographer to be pho

startled to find that the photograph
he produced showed what seemed to
be the living face of a woman, with
malevolent expression, instead of the
cold, staring face painted on the coffin
lid. The photographer died mysteri-

for six years her mummy has stood in
the corner of the First Egyptian Room,
eagerly sought by visitors devoid OF
superstitious fear, and as carefully
summed by others who imagine that
in spite of the professors and of COM
mon sense, there may after all be
some strange power associated with
the painted form and features of the
Egyptian priestess. The supersu-
tious view is entertained by some OF
the Museums attendants, who avoid
the priestesss corner as if it were in
fected with plague.

WIRE BREAKS NECK
AND LIFTS SCALP.
One Man Killed and Another Probab
ly Fatally Injured in Logging
Camp.

While assisting in roading a log
Monday afternoon Bert Berry, fore
man at Aubel's logging camp on
Johns river, was instantly killed by
cable, and Ross Awrey, COM
panion, sustained injuries so serious
that he may not recover.
Berry had stopped to assist Awrey
in fastening the line to the log and
when this had been accomplished the
signal was given to the engineer to
go ahead. The line tightened and
as it did so caught under the log
The strain from the engine increased
with the result that the line was
suddenly freed. Flying through the
air with great force the slack of the
line struck Berry, throwing him back
ward and breaking his neck.
Awrey was struck on the head by
the line and the entire upper por-
tion of his scalp was torn off, the
piece folding downward over his
eyes. He was rendered unconscious
by the blow, and it was several
hours before he regained his senses.
He is now in a precarious condition
and doubt of his recovery is enter
tained. Berry's body will be shipped
to relatives in North Carolina.
