A Summer Evening in the Country.

Slowly the sun is setting,
Midst many gorgeous cloud,
Which back and forward are fitting
From east to west. from north to south
Green the fields are stretched before me
AS sit silent lost in thought
Softly the leaves are whispering Ger me
Only one stray flower sleep not has
sought.
Softly, softly the dew is falling
On the grass, the flowers and trees,
Sweetly bird its mate is calling,
Its voice mingled with the signing of
the breeze
Gently, gently night is coming,
Soon all will be in peaceful sic p.
Only the brook is still a running
Never stopping for rest or sleep.
And now the moon is slowly rising,
And some bright stars come peeping
thro'
All alas am realizing
That I'm somewhat sleepy too.
Mary Elmeg reen McBain.

THIEVES CAPTURED.

June 9th Harry Gilmore, aged %,
and Pearl Haskins, aged 10, were
married in Ontario. Since then they
have been travelling about seeing the
country Sunday evening they reach
ed Manitowoc Their irregular way
of raising funds with which to continue
their journey and their bungling
"get away" got them into trouble.
The method was to visit houses upon
an alleged search for furnished rooms
and while in the house to purloin any
valuable thing they might be able to
secrete. This scheme the pair worked
on Mrs. Suckow on South 9th street.
Here in Mrs. Suckow's momentary alb
sence from the room and by the eXer-
else of good team work the couple got
away with a diamond ring and watch
Monday morning. The loss was at
once reported and the scamps arrested
when they were in an omnibus on the
way to the ferry slip to take boat "a
cross the lake. A woman attendant at
the Jail found the stolen property upon
the girls person. In municipal court
the girl tried to shoulder the blame,
which sacrifice the"gallant" husband
eagerly accepted. No one believed
them, however, and under a searching
examination they broke down and con-
fessed. Both were sentenced to state
prison, the young man for eleven
months and the girl for eight months.
The latter INDUCED in some Mysteries
when she learned the punishment her
folly had brought upon her.
