The DAYS of the Great Long AGO

As | sit on my porch looking westward,
This hottest of days in July,
The aspen leaves quiver before me.
In the breeze that is just passing by.
And | think as | see their leaves dane
ing,
As aspens so readily do,
OF tree once knew in my childhood,
And | know you'll remember it too.
For it stood near the old Stephens
school house.
On the edge of grass grown mound.
And was known as 1.-The Old Balma-
gilead,"
BY neighbors for miles all around.
How oft have we lain meath its
branches,
In the days of the now long ago,
And watched its leaves dance in the
sunlight,
As those dc now dance in its glow;
In the glow of this warm summer
evening,
With the sky of saffrony hue,
As | think of the school days at
Stephens.
And the Old Balmagilead and you:
How that summer when Miss Mason
taught there,
Whenthe skies were so warm and so
blue;
How we all went to wade in the creek,
George,
How we all got licked for it too.
Do you know how we used to go fishing
AT night, when the weather was fine.
How the moonbeams would dance on
the ripples
When fish sank the cork on the
line?
And how when we had landed mud
cat,
With skin something like creased
And a horn on each side meant for
business,
We found him quite worthy our
steel?"
And late in the night hieing home
Our pants soaked with wet mud and
slime;
How we crawled into bed tired and
sleepy,
Yet thinking we'd had gay time?
And when we'd grown up to be gos-
lings,
Young gents, if you please, of the
time;
How we went for those girls all about
there,
And thought them so wondrously
fine?
And they we're, too. old grey-head, you
know it.
Say how would you just like to be
About forty years back on life's jour
ney
And up at old Mud-lickwith me?
There was Mary, and Fanny. and Kate.
George,
And Molly, and Clara and Belle.
But which of them all was the sweet
est,
1t would now be improper to tell.

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Lord Dead

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Lord. of The
Dalles, died suddenly last Wednesday
at her summer home at Trout Lake,
at the age of 72. The immediate cause
was heart trouble. Mrs. Lord was one
of the most prominent women of the
state. having been the Oldest resident
at The Dalles, and one of the first
proponents of suffrage in the state, was
vice president of the regon Suffrage
League and a prominent member of
the Sorosis club. civic organization,
and the Christian Science church. Her
husband, Wintworth Lord. resides in
Portland.
Mrs. F. L. Houghton, of The Dalles,
is the only child. Frank Laughlin, of

A mouth like rosebud just opening,
Soft eyes that would make the heart
swell,
And the low ripping sound of their
laughter,
Dear boy, you'll remember them
we'll.
You remember those calls of an even
ing.
When the lamp in the parlor burned
And all the sweet nothings we told
them,
Which never another must know?
How the lips would get close, as you d
whisper,
How the arms would something en-
twine?-
But why thus attempt to paint glory,
You have been there, old comrade Of
mine.
What nonsensel but still this long
after
Their radiance yet breaks on my
dreams;
still hear the sound of the laughter,
| still see their eyes merry CLEANS.
Perhaps time has marred their fair
features,
And powdered their tresses with
snow,
Yet to me they're the same fairy
creatures
They we're forty summers ago.
You went off, you know, to Ohio,
And | to the western frontier;
You came back again and got married,
In something about like year.
While took more distant ramble,
But that has no part in this tale;
AS we used to say out on the ranges,
I'd rode on a different trail.
Adieu. then, old friend, and best
wishes,
And now when this life's sun is low,
Just bear them my kindliest greetings,
Those girls of the great long ago: y.

HALF BREED SELLS
"HIAQUA" TO INDIANS

George Orr, half-breed Indian, who
makes frequent trips to this city, has
made a speciality of one of the most
unique industries in the world. Orr,
who claims to know one of the few
places in the country where the "hia-
qua" shell may be secured, gathers the
shell in large quantities and makes
from it wampum, which is still in
great demand among the Indians.
The Indians residing in the neighbor-

quantities of the "hiaqua", which Orr
has cut into small round pieces and
strung into beads. Only last week he
sold $500 worth to local Indian.
The most of it is sold on time, 4"
says Orr, "but the men always pay
me. Recently | was on trade with
an old Indian who wanted to take
large quantity of the 'hiaqua'. The
deal was practically closed when an
Indian agent came up. ] did not wish
to deal with the old man while the
agent was around, but he quickly
guessed the proceeding and told me to
go ahead. If he wants to buy the
wampum, he said, nodding to the In
dian, 1t is none of my business.
