MY SHADOW.

have a little shadow that goes in
and out with me,
And what can be the use OF him is
more than / can see.
He Is very, very like me from the
heels up to the head;
And see him jump before me
when jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the
way he likes to grow
Not at all like proper children,
which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller,
like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little
that there's none of him at all
He hasn't got notion Of how chill
dren ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in
every sort of way,
He stays SO close beside me, he's
coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie
as that shadow sticks to me.
One morning very early, before the
sun was up,
l rose and found the shining dew
on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an
arrant sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me and
was fast asleep in bed.

ROSPECTORS-PAS AND PRES
ENT

The old-time proSpectors who wore
long whiskers and bull leather boots
are now raridly passing into history.
They can still be found ON baking
powder cans, in story books and on
the stage: but no longer upon the
native heath, says Clarence E. Eddy,
the Poet Prospector."
He was a hero who, between times
lived ON beans, sow-belly and sour
dough bread; but when the occasion
offered he could play poker, punish
whisky and paint the town. He would
perhaps regard the modern prospect
or rs a tenderfoot, for being moro
cos,nL politan and not the Simon-pure
product OF the hills.
When the modern prospectOr finds
that he cannot connect up with the
+ Ountain pay-Streak as per schedule,
he will likely try something else for
a change of luck Perhaps he will
lay off and study UP ON the fine arts,
take correspondence course ON nov
to get rich quick or be admitted to
profession. He may post UP on
rhythmic breathing, the fourth di-
mension of space, hypnotism, how to
rum hen ranch or how to live grace
fully ON 10 cents per day.
AN these things were abhOrred b.
the old7time prospector, but the mod
ern prospector may Use them as a
stimulus until he can get something
stronger. He has learned ito fit him
self to conditions and proceed "on
the lime of least resistance" Al
so he survives, while the old+time
prospector has followed the buffalo,
the grizzly bear, John L. Sullivan and
the Jersey Lilly into the limbo of the
things THAT were. And the modern
prospeotor now has the field I'm
time he ALSO Will become OsSified
and some new type of prospector will
take his place-perhaps someone who
can subsiSt solely upon mining GER
tificates and mountain scenery.
