The End of tho car

kAAS I.SlN vi ehN Nv
The year is drawing to its close.
The fields that smiled in June are
hare;
The vine that bore the blushing rose
Has nothing left but thorns: the air,
Once fragrant with the blooms OF
May.
Bites with a cold and poisoned fang,
And cherries silence broods today
Where children's laughter lately
rang.
Old men who lons 6 forgot
The lure of eager. loving looks,
Complain of ills the years have
brought
And SILVER in their lonely hooks:
But here and there is one who holds
His glad grandchildren on his
knees.
And many a wondrous tale unfolds
And shares their childish ecstasics.
No honey-bee comes fitting down
To sip the ~clover'S tempting sweets:
The clouds arc graz above the town
Where people hurry through the
streets.
The days are short and night is long.
But here and there. with hope
aglow.
\ mother sings 4 cradle song
And does not mind The winds that
blow.
No minstrel. in midaftcrnoon.
Beneath my window stops 10 play
In tangled Jingle of the day:
The scanty lawn that claimed my care
When petals f1uttered from TIL"
hough
Is robbed Of grace. and everywhere
The hedges arc deserted now.
The clouds are low and gray and
thick.
The muflcd people hurry past;
The cold. brown walls of stone and
brick
Are reltrd by the icy blast.
Eut here and there arc warmth and
cheer
And pleasing strains and sparkling
eyes
AM" laughter that is fresh and clear
And whispered words and glad re-
plies.
The nights are long. the days arc
brief
The wear is drawing to its end:
The field that bore tho golden sheaf
Is all Il waste where storms de-
sccnd:
Old men complain in lonely hooks.
Forgetting triumphs they nave had:
But here and there a mother looks
Upon her first born and is glad.

A SAN FRANCISCO FAVoRITE's
 FORTUNE.

X recent lawsuit in Boston disclosed the fact that LOtta Crabtree, the be- loved actress of a past generation. is one of the country's richest women and the second woman among the larg- est taxpayers of the New England metropolis. Among Lotta's Boston holdings are the Park Theater valued at S592.0 .000; the Hotel Cecil, valued at S379. .000, and the Hotel Brewste-, valued at s367, GOO.
 Lotta retired from the stage many years ago. Her most notable successes were The Little Detective" "Musette" and Pawn Ticket 21O." These plays were what one might call modified melodrama." They lacked the sensa- tional effects which characterized lat ter-day "thrillers," but melodrama they were. just the same
 Lotta's life was most exemplary. Her character pOrtrayals caused all men and women of her time to worship at the shrine of make believe the real Lotta Crabtree merited the admiration which came of her talent.
 She never was married.-Kansas City Times.

ORE ON lAKEBOTTOMS.

The bottoms of many Swedish lakes are covered to a thickness of six or eight inches with fragments of iron ore of the size of peas, says the Lon don Globe. This lake ore consists chiefly of Ocher. or hydrated oxide of iron, mixed with silicate and phos- phate or iron, clay. sand and other impurities and yields pig iron of very good quality.
 The ore is obtained by very prim- itive methods. In winter hole is cut in the ice. scraper attached on d long pole is inserted and all of the ore within reach is collected into a heap beneath the hole. Some of the mud which has been scraped togeth- CT with the ore is removed by stir ring the mass with poles and the ore is then scraped into bags which have been sunk and is hauled in.

ADVOCATES SCHOLARSHIP
 FOR ARIZONA UNIVERSITY
Counties Should Have Scholarship p Fund For High School Graduates.

In order to gain an increased at tendance at the University of Arizona, and to make it the object of interest which it should be to every county in the territory, Kirke T. Moore super intendent of public instruction. has made a suggestion which is an ex- cellent one, even if it has been made before. and not accepted by the coun- ties. It can be brought before them again and again, says the Tucson Star, and it may be expected that one after another will take the matter up until all have adopted the idea.
 MT. Moore suggests that each county in Arizona shall have a scholarship fund for it's high schools that will dcfray the expenses of some deserving and ambitious student at the Uni versity and suggests S2OO. As the tui- ton is free and the expenses are small. such d sum would go d long way toward helping the student. Should each county have but one such scholarship it would mean the education of fl young men or wo- men at the university each four years.
 Going d little further it appears that an annual prize of a scholarship might be offered in each county. This would at the end of four years mean an appropriation of $500 each year but it would also mean 56 stu dents all enjoying and gaining full benefits from such branch of univer
 sity education as he or she might de-
 sire from the Ii counties of Arizona.
 Prizes have always been found d stimulart to the students work. The ambitious one is encouraged as is possible in no other way by the mak- ing of such a prize a scholarship that is well worth the trying for. It is safe to say that if such a plan were adopted by the counties of Arizona the scholarship in the high schools would be materially elevated. The boy or girl who realizes that his or her education must end at the high school may on the other hand be governed by the feeling that he or she must get all possible in that

He apepared for several seasons as Murphy in The College Widow" Finding there was more remuneration in acting for mo tion pictures he took up that line of work The following from the New York Times is the account of his ap- pearance in moving pictures:
 Now. I am a bit of a coward, must confess, and therefore, as a matter of pride and self-respect, have made it a rule never to balk danger nor decline any hazard that came in my line of duty.

 jumping to death off a precipice.
 We were whites pursued by toma- hawk carrying, scalping Indians. They chased us through several miles of film taking and finally to the edge of a horrendous cliff. over which we were supposed to leap rather than stay and be tomahawked by our pur- suers.
 At the bottom of the cliff, out of range of the picture machines eye, was a lifenet held up by sixteen supers. Each of us went over the cliff like a shot. and the problem was for each man to get safely out of the net before the next one tumbled into it. For Gods sake. hurry up." I yelled to the man ahead of me. who was evidently taking his time. I had to follow quickly. and kerplunk! I came down almost on top of him. The lifenet gave way under the combined weights, and though the fall was partly broken I hit with great force on a stony bit of ground. My career as a mo tion picture actor almost ended then and there.
