The HILLS or REST.
BY Albert Bigelow Paine

BY Albert Bigelow Paine.
Beyond the last horizons rim.
Beyond adventures fartbest quest,
Somewhere they rise, serene and dim.
The happy, happy Hills OF Rest.
Upon their sunlit slopes uplift
The castles we have built in Spain
While fair amid the Summer drift
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours we did not live go by
To soothing note, on scented wing;
fn golden-lettered volumes lie
The songs we tried in vain to sing.
They all are there; the days of dream
That build the inner lives of men;
The silent, sacred years we deem
The might be, and the might have
been.
Some evening when the sky. is gold
TIL follow day into the west;
Nor pause, nor heed, till behold
The happy, happy Hills of Rest.

Safe Robbed.

flee of the Farmers Produce Com

city, was robbed of $3.50 in bills and
number of checks. Two young,
-well-dressed strangers paced up and
down the street for an hour. One

bunch of celery, offering a $40 bill
in payment. Hiram j. Wells, the
senior member of the firm, made the
change from the safe. The young
man left. Soon afterward another
young man entered and asked to
look at barrel of sweet potatoes.
Mr.. Wells took him to the back of
the store, where they were engaged

MIR. Wells returned to the Office,

men was given to the police, and
three officers went in an automobile
