They seemed TO coax, they teem 10 WOO

And as a thing of life it seemed
TO wish to skim the ocean spray.
Waiting messaEe through the sky

We launched her out on wattr rs high,
With,courage, hope and faith to steer
To lands across the mighty main
For fortune OF adventure bold
"Never hazard never gain"
Was our motto in letters gold.
Our valiant captian knew 70 fear
He often times the waters bound;
His noble crew he held so dear
None better had lie ever. found;
The land soon faded out from sight
We saw but clouds float through the blue
The snokestack's smoke seemed TO unite
With them and then dissolve from view.
How mighty and how grand the dep
Fathoms beneath what wealth there lies
In caverus forests, mountains, Steep
Hidden far from human ewes,
10 and out sea monsters dwell
Sporting through waters as they roam;
The God who fashioned oil hings well
Destined ocean FOR their home.
How silently cur ship sailed on,
There was scarce a ripple to be seen,
The sun vaplted tie meridian
Seven times, and days were calm. serene,
Rrt mn tho afosb IA a sttldap ,bapoa
OF wind came on, the petrels flew
Hither and thther. 1t was not strange
To the captain nor the crew.
Th' midshipman cried out "Clear the deck
And quickly, too' We hurried down
Into the cabin; we thought wreck
Would be cur doom and all would drown,
Fer baekness like to night o'er spread
The heavens the high winds blew,
The lightning lashed and overhead
Such thunder crashes we never knew.
Our ship rlreened and on her side
Like a leviatlian dipped the sea,
Then rose and dashed as if she tried
10 fight the clements wild fury.
Out on'the raging ocean tossed
BY mountain pillows. Did God hear
No hope, despair, God is not near,
With pallid lips that scarce could move
And heaven fixed eyes we sought in vain
For mercy from tie God of love.
Did he forsakc us? mol The rain
Abated and the sa or cries
"Cheer up! Cheer upi No dangers fear
There is a promis, in the skies
For Iairer winds and weather clear"
Although tempest ossed, God ruled the storm
And the winds and seas obeyed:
As was His mandH and no harm
Came to us, TO- the prayers we said
Were heard We cached the distant land
In safety; we hought no more
OF fortune and our grateful band
Returned TO teir native shore.

Hugh Isaacs has written letter to the Tucson Citizen concerning sev- erai things connected with the mining industry which is just as applicable 'o every other city depending on the mining indutry for business as it is Tucson and we here reproduce it:
 There are two thousand mines with in a radius of fifty miles of Tucson. Do the people know what it would mean to Tucson and to the territory, if fifty. or even twenty-five. per cent Of these mines were active?
 If ten men were employed at 25 per cent of these mines. at a wage of S3. it would mean 5000 employees at a daily payroll of $l5.O00 a day; or nearly half a million dollars month. Add to this an equivalent expenditure for administrative expenses and sup plies. and the grand total of nearly a million dollars a month is the result

 I know an old man who is credited with having brought nearly S75,00o into a nearby mining district. He did not benefit to the amount of one dol lar out Of this money. but expended it on his property The people of this section got the money. and he got nothing, so far, but disappointment. He k stin struggling to go on with what seems to be a meritorious property. but a thousand hammers resound at his every fresh effort Why not bury the hammers, pat him on the back a little. and at least give him a little moral support?

TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Simple Stratagem That Secured for
"knight of the Road" a SUBJ
stantiaI Meal.

A clever little bit of human nature
was used by a knight of the road" re-
Gently on a matron living in a suburb
of Pittsburg, and as a result he slept
with a full stomach that night.
The suburb is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped off a freight and
ambled up the main street he was quite
hungry. There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance of meals, and
the tramp lost no time. He was not
surprised when the first housewife
slammed the door in his face, MOI the
second, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do. But when he
reached the ninth house, or rather was
helped away, he was thoroughly dis
gusted. The town certainly had him
hoodooed.
After a short rest and a deep think
the hungry one knocked at the door
of the tenth house.
Madam, can you let a hungry man
have a bite to eat? 1 don't think you
can, though" he said. The woman
opened her ears.
"Why can't II" she inquired.
"The woman next door said you
didn't have enough for yourself"
He got his meal.
