Ballad of the Marlinspike.

The gallant schooner Marlinspike, as
spick and span a craft
AS ever luffed into the breeze, with spin
maker abaft,
Was sailing Ger a tropic sea, as placid as
a lake,
When Elmer Twigg. a mariner. thus to
the captain spake:
The flyin' fish is sleepin'. sir; the moon
is hard alec;
The Muse. with her rambunctious paw,
has been aticklin' me.
The voice Of po'try fills my soul. SO give
me pen and ink
And lock me in the capstan head; 1 think
I'm going to think
They did as Elmer babe them do; they
gave hun ink and pen: ,
They locked him in the capstan head and
told him to say when;
And then the gunwale they Delayed and
made the scuppers tight,
And listened by the capstan head expect
antly all night
At seven bells they heard him snore; they
said: Hes overweight!
1t must be SO tremendous-like to wrastle
with a thought"
AT haIt-paSt seven bells ne crleC: MY
messmates, do not fear!
The Muse Is hoverin' round me and she's
even pinched my earl"
And thus till ninety-seven bells; then
dawned upon the crew
A light; they said: w guess the game
that Twigg is up unroH"
So they unlocked the capstan head. He
lay in siumber deep.
And on a paper he had scrawled: ON
wot a thing is Sleep"
For Elmer there's no port watch now, no
starboard watch nor dog; ,
He watches all the night and day and
steers and writes the log.
And swabs the deck and shaves the crew
And cooks the things they like
And wakes them up three times q month
aboard the Mariinspike.

Milton.

Milton! thou shouldst be living at this
hour;
England hath need Of thee; she is a fen
or ~stagnant waters: altar, sword and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth Of hall and
bower.
Have forfeited their ancient English dover
OF inward happiness. We are selfish men;
oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give u manners, virtue, freedom,
power.
Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart;
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like
the sea;
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
In cheerful goodness, and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

Delaney Nicoll, lawyer, is always
a well-dressed man, and abominates a
s~lovenly appearance. At the Union
club he said of a westerner one day:
He has come on to New York for
a week and l don't believe he has
brought a stitch Of luggage with him.
Here Mr.. Nicoll smiled.
Unless, indeed" he added, hes
slowed something in the large bags
he carries in the knees of his trou,

Get After the Files.

With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they al be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
ase and an enemy of humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health Of your
community.

CAPT. MCCAN HORSES
FOR LIVESTOCK SHOW

Capt. Charles ?. McCan will enter
a couple of fine horses in the coming
livestock show at Portland and while
Hood River is most famous for fine
apples the Captain is ambitious to
make a name for the fruit valley as an
ideal place to raise horses. Oregon"
the 2-year-old Belgian stallion, will
be entered in the show and he is eX-
pected to land a first prize ribbon for
Hood River. Capt. McCan has Star
Pointer colt just four years old, which
is distinctly Hood River product from
which he also expects big things.
This colt will also be taken to the
show in Portland and its owner thinks
it should clean up in its class.
Capt. McCan is very enthusiastic
about Hood River as a place to raise
horses, basing his judgment on the
manner in which the Pointer colt has
thrived. The colt was born in Port
land but was brought to Hood River in
a very few days and its owner says
that in all his experience with horses
he has never seen a healthier colt. He
attributes its perfect development to
the good water, excellent drainage
and the fine climatic conditions which
exist here. Capt. McCan believes that
the excellent conditions here are going
to help in the development of his
horses and he will try to make a world
beater of the Star Pointer colt.

The Tip Top Motor Car Company has
decided to erect large sales room

increasing business and plans are now
being drawn for a building 60 by 80
feet in which will be embodied all the

ing will be erected in the lower part
of town, on the Heights or on the
farm of Capt. Charles P. McCan, Cne
of the owners of the company, which
now has its garage on his ranch south
of town. One of the FIXTURES of the

appeal to the ladies who are coming
more and more to drive their cars in
Hood River.
The Tip Top company already re-
ports the sale of two Maxwell cars,
one a runabout to lady for delivery
in few weeks and the other one of
the Q4 models to E. O. Hall. 1t is a
light touring car carrying four passen-
gers. MIR. Hall was the first buyer to
take advantage Of the private track
on the McCan farm on which to learn
to drive Ehis car. He spent short
time ON the track and is now driving
over the valley with ease.
