The Bridge Builder

An old man going lone highway
Came at the evening" cold and gray,
To chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sulen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide.
-"Od man. said fellow pilgrim near,
1'You wasting your strength with building here
Your journey will end with the ending day.
You will never again pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
GOOD friend, in the path I have come" he said,
There foloweth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me,
To that fair haired youth may pitfall be;
He too, must cross in the twilight dim
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him"

1t costs very little to deliver key of beer.
The same key is used over and over again.
There is no waste and there is plenty of foam.
The United States government collects ST tax
on each barrel of beer. The brewers must have
millions of dollars for building imposing
sions in cities and at the seashore, purchasing
steam yachts automobiles, palace cars, dia-
monds, etc. After the saloonkeeper pays his
license fee he still retains an enormous profit.
Then, too the Northwestern Liquor Dealers
Association must have large sum to spend in
every community where such fight as ours is
going They must hold their territory or
go out of business.
Then, too, the Retail Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation must have large sum to spend in

tillers of Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis and
Peoria dictate the policy of their city govern

Monitors Log is Preserved

The original log book Of the famous
Monitor. covering the period Of her en-
gagement with the Confederate iron
clad Merrimac In Hampton Roads ON
March, 9, 1862, Is preserved among the
historic records of the navy depart
ment. ".T~csskpessssesssaus-
The restoration Of the log to the de-
partment was due to Captain Louis
stodder Of the United States revenue
cutter service and an officer on the
Monitor during her entire service. For
years he treasured the log among his
most valuable possessions, but as the
infrmities Of age increased he desired
to see 1t placed where Its preservation
might be assured. Hence 1t was that
he forwarded 1t to the library Of the
navy department.
The entries cover dates from Feb. &c
to the end of 1862 and tell of the little
Cheese box on a raft" laundering of
Cape Hatteras on Dec. 81. 1862, when
Stodder was acting MASTER. and Of her
engagements with the Confederate bat
teries at Sewalrs Point, Hampton
Roads, and at Fort Darling, In the
James river. But by far the most In
teresting concern the fight with the
Merrimac. Among the entries on Sun

Catches a Whist|ing Fish

Cleveland.--A musical fish was
caught the other day In one Of the
lakes of Shaker Park Its captor said
that 1t wlistled when taken into the
boat, and this claim was vehemently
corroborated by the two young wo-
men who We're with him.
The young man who caught the
whistling f9h said he was so surprised
when the fish whistled that he nearly
tell into the lake. Its whistling, he
said. was ali the more mystifying be-
cause it's mouth was SO wide 1t seem
ed nearly impossible that 1t could
pucker enough to whistle.
He brought the whistling fish
ashore alive in bait bucket and
took 1t home to put in an aquarium,
saying that when 1t had regained its
composure 1t might favor with the
rest. e. ~ ss' N.Y. so s.' (
William HoSner, a well-known agri-
culturist and engineer. who formerly
liYed near Shalef Lakes, said that the
so-Salled whistlns fish was doubtless
OF the common p6ut variety. which he
said he often had caught In a lake
near his farm m New England.
Mr.. Hoffner said that the young
man who took the pout home. hoping
that 1t would favor with the rest OF
the tune, would almost certainly be
disappointed. as pouts. he said, have
but one note each.
Mr.. Hoffner added. however. that he
had been told by Job Whipple. an old
resident of the neighborhood. that on
still. moonlight summer nights the
pouts sometimes gather at the far
end Of the lake In school and whis-
tie In chorus. Each pout pipes in its
low, sweet. watery note to blend with
the other pouts in choral effect
which is most strangely affecting. said
the old resident.

HOTTER THAN BLAzES
BAD STORM FOLLOWS

With the thermometer hugging round
the 100 mark for the past ten days. and
every body grumbling it has been any
thing but pleasant for ye editor. Most
folks looked on US as being to blame for
the whole thing. However Tuesday re-
lief from the long sweltering spell came
in the form of heavy electric storm,
wind, rain, and hail. Trees were blown
down, limbs flew in all directions, barns,
sllos, fences, and telephone poles were
down in the path of the storm in many
direction. Some damage to be sure and
it did a whole lot of good.
Nevertheless the dear people con-
tinue to kick. We have almost come to
believe it's human nature for'em to do
so.
During the storm Monday evening the
farm house of Alfred Nulk, two miles
south and two and one half miles west
Of Clio, was strdck by lightning. Mr..
and Mrs. Nulk were badly burned by
the bolt and were unconscious for nearly
an hour. This farm adjoins the George
Rathbun place where two horses were
killed by lightning about two weeks ago,
A silo and windmill on the farm of
Fred Tinker were blown down. Mr..
Newton had barn completely wrecked,
and on the farms Of Chas. Lembaugh,
Geo. Kinckerbocker. and Guy Selby silos
were blown down and wrecked.

Lion Springs on Trainer

Altoona, Pa.-With the hot breath
of lion tanning her cheek and his
roar mingling with her screams for
aid as he stood over her in an iron
bound cage, Mile. Florence, a woman
animal trainer of the Ferart Carnival
company, faced death by being eaten
alive here.
Mile. Florence had forgotten her
whip In the cage. AS she went to re-
cover 1t the beast sprang through the
air, landing with full weight on her
shoulders. Realizing that his sharp
fangs would sink into her flesh. Col.
Francis Ferari, who chanced to be
nearby, acted almost instantly.
Il With two jumps he was at the cage
with Colt revolver. He sent a
stream OF bullets into the lions hide
at such short range that q burn sur.
rounds every bullet hole. The yevoi-
YER did its work and the king OF the
Jungle fell dead with his claws en-
tangled in the clothing Of the woman.
She was saved but severely Scratched.
The animal was worth $4,000.
