Opposed to Change of Town
Limits.

A mass meeting of citizens of
the town was called Tuesday
evening by Mr.. R. D. Caldwell,
president of the board of trade;
Mr.. S. Mcintyre, chairman of the
graded school trustees, and May
or Jno. A. Rowland to consider
the proposed change in the town
limits. Mr.. S. Mcintyre presided
at the meeting, which was attend
ed by only a few citizens, the slim
attendance being due to the fact
that the meeting was not well
advertised and very few knew
it's object.
1t is proposed to amend the
town charter, making Lumber
river the limit on the west. A
strong resolution was passed
against any change and urging
upon the Senator and Represent
atives from Robson the import
ance of not making the change
proposed. 1t is thought that i
the proposed change were made
the section just across the rive
would become a refuge for unde
sirable citizens and would be ;
constant menace to the town.

The Lady of the White Butterflies.
The twitter of swallows in the caves
Weakened me to the first light Of day,
and after I had taken q dip In the
creek still seemed to be sole pro.
prietor OF the world. SO quiet lay field
and woodland followed the lake
shore to a fishermen's camp, where In
the good comradeship Of outdoor men
the world over ! got bread and coffee
and no questions asked. ! smoked a
pipe with the fishermen to kill time,
and 1t was still but trif1e after six
o'clock when ! started for Red Gate.
A line of sycamores 200 yards to my
right marked the bed of the Tippeca-
noe; and on my left hand. beyond a
walnut grove, little fllmy dust-cloud
hung above the hidden highway. l
thrust my cap into my Jacket pocket
and stood watching the wind crisp the
flowers. Then my attention wandered
to the mad antics Of squirrel that
ran along the fence.
When turned to the field again I
saw Rosalind coming toward me along
the path, clad in white, hatless, and
her hands lightly brushing the lush
grass that seemed to leap up to touch
them. She had not seen me, and !
drew back little for love of the pic

She haused abruptly midway Of the

ranged.
