A spread At royal banquet
Would not have been such treat.
The rocks, the rills and mountains
Filled US with delight;
The world seemed naught but sunshine
Wherein there was no night.
We thought Of all our own home folk
OF those we love 90 dear;
And wished that they were with us
To enjoy the beauties here.
Beautiful works OF nature,
Gods hsndiwork Of art
All made us love this world Of ours
In which we have a part.
We strolled into coal mine,
Where all was dark and drear;
We thought OF the poor miner
who seems TO knew no fear.
Outside the joyous sunshine
Was glorious and bright
The mountains, rocks and flowers,
We reveled In the sight.
Before the sunny noontime
We reached Roy's mountain home,
Where hearty welcome greeted us,
Our hearts were light as foam.
The rustic table soon was spread
With good things by the score,
And oh, how we enjoyed them all
Il.
A nap was next In order,
Aud not much TO our surprise
we all were soon In Sunderland,
Giving rest TO tired eyes.
Refreshed from sleep we rambled
Ger hills and pastures green,
Lighthearted youths and maidens,
No happier to be seen.
To search for gum we wandered
Through pine trees, short and tall,
And tripped and danced as gaily
AS at July ball.
When the twilight shadows gathered,
We returned to our dear camp,
And enjoyed dainty luncheon
After the jolly tramp.
Our tent was pitched meath skies o
blue,
And sweethearts wandered thither;
And talked Of love and hearts so true
In storms or sunny weather.
Talked of love-such nonsense,
But we thought it jolly fun,
For it recalled our courtship days
Years ago when we were young.
The chaperones laughed gaily
And tossed and shook each head
As they planned some fun and non
sense
BEFORE they went to bed.
'sPi,ture Shows" were put on
And costumes rich and rare
Adorned the mischief makers,
Happy and free from care.
Needles and thread were searched for
And e'sr long the jolly pair
Sat stitching the necks OF the nigh
gowns,
So no heads might get through there
After = jolly frolic
Sleep dimmed their tired eyes;
And nothing was heard by them
Till tho moon began to rise.
Then goondight words were spoken
And the sweethearts' faces beamed,
As they left their stalwart lovers
And came with us 20 dream.
NEXT morn the sun shone brighter
Fen than the day before,
Pleasant good mornings were given
For we had bounteous store.
After partaking OF breakfast
We slipped the morning dew,
AS we climbed the rocks and mountain
And Toasted on the view.
Eash flower. each rock, each streaml,
That were in confusion there,
Swelled our hearts with praise too Go,
And We uttered a silent prayer.
A prayer that we we're permitted
To enjoy Natures work Of art,
And upon each face was mirrored
The Joy that was In each heart.
A horseback ride e'er long was planne
And Soon We rode away,
With laughing eyes and faces tanned
Merry, light-hearted and gay.

patton in the conspiracy to kill Presi-

ever been offered for the capture of
Colonel James Gordon, recently ap-

When the matter was brought to the

department a search of the records
was instituted. The records contain
all notices of rewards offered in con-

the company's plant on Twentieth
street For some time there has been
need of a machine that would take up
part of the burden carried by horses
and other beasts of burden on quarter
and half-section farms throughout the
country, but until the Pump company
machine was perfected nothing was de-
vised that was reasonable in cost and
practical. The tractor as il is now de-
signed has two capacities, one being
10 horsepower and the larger size "A
horsepower. It's combined weight will
be between 5000 and 5000 pounds
and its cost will be reasonable and
within the reach of all farmers who
possess a half-section or more of farm
land. Aside from its value In the
fields the tractor can also be used for
hauling heavy loads of grain and other
farm PRODUCTS to the markets or where
ever desired. It is expected that when
the new tractor is placed on the mar
ket there will be demand for it. At

that the matter will be entirely adjust

which this settlement of the difficulty,

Microbes In Apples a New Scare.

Microbes In Apples a New Scare.
Another terror for mothers has been
discovered by Professor Metchnikon
Of the Pasteur institute in Paris. Htth-
erto the humble apple has been con-
sidered one of the most healthful Of
fruits, and lettuce and other green
salads were supposed to be especially
good for children. Now comes the
professor with his terrible warning
that he has found a microbe making
its home in apples which is so deadly
that every year it kills 10000 children
in France. The microbe is said to be
that of gastro-enteritis. and, besides
fastening on apples. 1t attaches itself
to the surface of the fresh greens most
frequently used for salad. The pro-
fessor offers a ray of hope, however.
BE says his microbe has a mortal an
tipathy to soap. and apple eaters still
may indulge with safety If they first
wash the fruit thoroughly in warm
soapy water

Fate of a Lincoln Car.

On the forty-sixth anniversary of the
world famous Gettysburg address Of
Abraham Lincoln the car which con-
veyed the martyred president to and
from Gettysburg was found five miles
from town being used as sleeping quar-
tiers by a railroad repair gang. The
car for many years was used between
Hanover and Hanover Junction, where
it was afnectionately designated as
"Old a." that being its number. Re
Gently it was found to be getting out
Of repair and was assigned to a repair
gang. By a singular coincidence that
particular gang was assigned to the
Gettysburg division Of the road. and
the car was found at Seven Stars by
persons who knew its history. There
is talk of trying to have the car sent
to Gettysburg and convert it into a his
torical museum.
