THE RIVER OF LIFE.

THE more we live more brief appear
Il Our life's succeeding STAGES;
A day to childhood seems a year
And years like passing ages.
THE gladstone current of our youth
Il Ere passion yet disorders
Steals lingering, like a river smooth,
Along its grassy borders.
pUT, as the careworn cheek grows wan
- And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
WHEN joys have lost their bloom and
w breath
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we near the falls of Death,
Feel we it's tide more rapid?
TT may be strange, yet who would change
l. Times course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
HEAVEN gives our years Of failing
- strength
Indemnifying feetness
And those of youth a seeming length,
Proportional to their sweetness.
Thomas Campbell.

Fields and Orchards of France,

From Avignon to Lyons the rail-
road runs through a rich country, the
fruit trees covered with blossoms and
the forests assuming their robes of
green, altogether making picture
beautiful to look upon. From Lyons to
Paris the orchards, the vineyards and
the growing grain delight the eye of
the traveller from oriental deserts and
remind him of Macaulay's poem:
Now let there be the merry sound of
music and of dance
Through thy cornfields green and sunny
vines. oh, pleasant land of France!
For truly it is pleasant land.-Paris

MYSTERY in WILD
AUTOMOBILE RIDE,
STOLEN MACHINE CRASHES
THOUGH BRIDGE RAILING
AND OCCUPANTS CANNOT BE
LOCATED.

Mystery surrounds the culmina-
ton of a wild automobile ride of
a thief who stole a machine in Sc
attic yesterday, and met with an
accident last evening, when the
car crashed through the bridge
railing at the intersection of Lin
coin avenue and the Marshall
road. The police are today en-
deavoring to determine whether
the man was hurled into water be-
low and drowned, or whether he
made his escape good when the
accident occurred. The latter
theory is the one generally accept
ed. A cheap, black SLOUGH hat
was found floating in the water
near the bridge.
The stolen car belongs to
James Sobey of Ballard. 1t is a
seven-passenger Pierce-Arrow, and
is valued at about $500. While
Sobey was witnessing the Mara
thon race at Dugdale's park. Sc
attic. yesterday. the thief got into
the car and made off with it.
Last night, when Calvin Julian,
at the Hawkeye Mill
company's plant, hearing the re-
port of the crash, rushed to the
scene and found no trace of the
occupants of the car he immedi-
ately notified the police. The car
was hanging suspended over the
planking of the bridge. When the
officers arrived on the scene and
could not find anything of them
either, the accident took ON an
air of mystery. The matter was
cleared up by communication with
Mr.. Sobey in Seattle.
. The machine was not badly
damaged.

CHANCE BLOW DID 1T,
DECLARES KETCHEL

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 49,
Ten thousand persons paid $40,-
600 to see Jack Johnson knock
Stanley Ketchel helpless and re-
tain the heavyweight champion
ship of the world Saturday after
noon.
"It was a chance blow that put
me out" declared Ketchel today.
Johnson was cautious all the
way ecept on one or two occasions
after Ketehel had raped him a
hard jolt. Then he swung in and
fought like demon. 1t was In
the twelfth that the final burst
of terror closed the championship
aspirations for Ketchel. He had
damned the negro on the Jaw IN
the seventh round and raised a
big lump, butGhis own face was
bloody from uppercuts on the nose
and mouth.
In the eleventh Ketchel landed
an awful right on the jaw of the
black man and Johnson FASTENED
to clinch. Ketchel tried to get
away to take advantage of the
blow but Johnson stayed right
close to him.
In the twelfth Ketchel again
made spectacular lunge and IN
stead of getting the jaw he hit
Johnson on the arm. johnson
was off balance and the force of
the blow landed him fat on his
back. He arose slowly as II
studying what next to do. When
on his knees he suddenly leaped
clear across the ring and landed
on Ketchel with the fury of a
tiger. Bang, went the big fist
into the jaw of Ketehel. The
white mans head rocked back.
Smash. came another blow in the
stomach and, as Ketchel went
over, another terrific belt took
him in the face. He went over as
IL he had been hit by trolley car.
Johnson's blows had been struck
while he was practically in the air
from his leap across the ring and
he never stopped until he fell
PROSTATE over his victim. Quick
as flash he was up and ready
to continue the onslaught. but IL
was all over. Ketchel lay bleed
ing on the floor, helpless, and was
slowly counted out.

The victory Saturday came IN
the last minute of play.
Seattle was holding the Tacoma
boys and there was little time TO
go. Coach Perkins saw there was
but one way TO do 1t and he sent
Harrison on the field with a mess
age TO Captain Beginner telling him
TO play Harrison and TO try the for
ward pass. Robbins. had to be
sent on the field to make place
for Harrison, but there was no
other way to get the message to
Beymer.
Beymer carried out instruc-
lions. A long 30-yard forward
pass was gathered by the fleet
footed Coblentz, while on the
dead nun, and he carried 1t 35
yards more for a touchdown while
the crowd simply went crazy.
Then, with the score tied, Jack
Beymer placed the toe of his shoe
on the pigskin and sent it spin
ming right between the posts for
q goaa and the score was to 5
In favor of Tacoma.
Seattle got her five In the first
half when Tacoma fumbled a punt
and a Lincoln man grabbed the
ball and ran over the line for O
touchdown. Bryant, however,
fafled to kick goal.
lincoln was completely chag-
rfnned at the defeat and at once
signed contract to come back
and play another game here

ed the new stadium can be dedi-
Gated then with this game and II

lon and Ketchel. As a result q
number of boats were compelled
to tie UP because of the scarcity
of labor.
