The house of Hal Ripley was practi-
cally destroyed by fire on Fourth ave

been occupied for some time and the
origin of the fire is unknown. 1t IS
thought that perhaps some children
were playing at the house or ON

While the house was not filled with
furniture, some very valuable articles
were lost, among them being some
heirlooms and antique furniture from
the foreign country. wedding gifts and
other articles of great sentimental

prices had been refused.
The fire department is said to have
made a record run, leaving the fire sta

spite the quick run the blaze had made
such headway it was impossible to

Though weary and down and out,
We fling lack a song, full-throated
ana strong,
For the ears of the Sunshine
Scout.
You sing of the hand Of Jehovah
You see out there in the West;
We sing of His finger only,
Which down on our hearts is pressed.
He chasteneth whom He loveth,
And as we pass under the rod
We're given the brand that was for
us planned
In the mind of a righteous God.
You sing of the wide free spaces,
Where always there's something
more,
You sing of the open places,
But We of the fast-closed door.
Though never at all does it matter
What the theme of the song shall
be,
There is only one thing that we sing
and will sing
Till the Giver of Song we see.
Believing that the young man had
by long imprisonment fully expiated
a crime committed in boyhood while
irresponsible through drink, l wrote
to the governor asking him to have
the case investigated and see if
something could not be done to re-
store him to freedom and give him
an opportunity to redeem the past
and become a worthy citizen. Since
his incarceration Burns has become
a convert to the Christian religion,
and for five years has been follower
of the lowly Nazarene, who, more
merciful than man, has forgiven him
for the one great error of his boy
hood.

a boy, is as guilty of the murder in

now undergoing punishment for the
crime.
When [ visited this prison year
ago the convict named, now in the
prime of vigorous young manhood,
came to me after my address to the
prisoners and thanked me, declaring
my talk had exerted more uplifting
influence over him than had all the
sermons he had heard preached dur
ing the many years he had been shut
out from the world. his sincerity
deeply impressed me and his lang
uage bespoke a man of more than
average intelligence. He had been
an industrious student in his boy
hood and while in confinement, but
he said nothing to me of the posses
sion of literary talent A short time
later l received a splendid letter
from him in which he enclosed the
following poem of his own compost
ton:
To Captain Jack Crawford.
We haven't your western prairies,
We haven't your mountains grand,
We haven't even the sagebrush gray
That grows in the desert sand.
Our gray is the gray of granite,
Our mountains are those of des-
pair;
IT'S little we know of your sunset
glow,
And we've never a Whit of your
air.
We haven't your days of glory,
We haven't your starlit nights,
We haven't the range of vision
You get from your lofty heights.
Our eyes wear veil, and blinded
We grope on the lower slopes;
We wake and we sleep, we work and
we weep,
