The Ghost Of Goshen.

In Goshen hollow, where hemlocks grow
Where rushing sills, with flash aAd flew,
Are over the lough resAs falling;
Where fox and bear and catamsunt hide
In hole, and dens in the mount in size,
i circuit preacher once used to ride,
And his name was Rufus Rawling.
lie was Sc: in his ways and, what was
strange,
If you argued with him he would not
change
One could get nothing through him.
Solemn and slow in style was he,
Slender and slim as a tsmarack tree,
AaA always ready to disagyes
With every one that knew him.
One night he saddled the sorrel mare
And started over to Ripton, whore
He had promised to do some preaching.
Away he cantered over the hill,
P ,st the sshoolhouse at Capen's mill,
The moon was down and the place was
still,
Save the sound of the night hawk
screeohing.
AT last he came to deep ravine,
And be felt kind of queer and mean
sensation stealing s'er him.
cid sorrel began to travel slow.
Then gave snort and refused to 60.
The parson sluoked and hollared 'Wnoap
And he wondered what was before him.
Then suddenly be seemed to hear
A gu<gling groan 50 very near

He wished he was hone sincerely.
And then before his startled sight
A light flashed out upon the night
That seemed to ''beat all creation
And through the bushes figure stole,
With eyes of fire aad lips of coal,
That froze his blood and shook his sou.
With horror and CONSERVATION.
He lost his sermon and dropped his book
His hair stood up and his saddle hook
Like a sawmill under motiSa.
No cry he uttered, no word he said,
But suddenly turning his sorlel's head
Away and out of the woods he sped
As fast as he could for Goshen.
Into the streets of Goshen town
The frightened parson came riding down
In fearful sort of fiutter.
Swift Is a wild goose In gale,
With cloak that Tapped like tattered sail
With face as white as Eastwood pail
Or q ball Of winter butter.
Hd told the nsighbors that he had seen
A fend of fire in Hu1's ravine
That had driven him back to Goshen.
He told of its deep and dreadful grsans.
OF its dismal cries and doleful moaus,
And got up great commotion.

AS full of fun as Q spring of flowers,
1t was l and a son of Jacob Powers
That got up all the wonder.
And, stranger, now it's many a day
Since Rufus RawlinG was laid away
In the churchyard over yondsr.

EAGLE IS NOT A KIDNAPER
infant Found, Protected by Dog, and
Bird Is Acquitted Of Steal
inc Baby.

Belvidere, N. Eagles making
their homes in the cliffs Of Jenny
Jump mountain have been exonerated
of blame for the theft Of two-year-old
Michael Dunai, who was missing for
"a hours. The child was found in the
woods half mile from his home. He
was unconscious, and his hands and
feet were partly frozen.
Young Michaei's parents we're work
ing in the field and left him on the
porch of their farmhouse. When they
got home at noon the child and the
family Newfoundland dog were gone.
Searchers hunted all night, some OF
them even visiting the eyries of
eagles on the mountain. suspecting
that one of the birds might have
stolen the baby.
A party from Danville came on the
child. The Newfoundland dog was
standing by and would let no one ap-
proach. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunal had to be
called before the dog would give up its
threatening defense Of the baby. It Is
believed the child win recover.

VISIT TO CALIFORNIA
Sight Of Mount Shasta, in It's Glory
and Beauty, Well Repays Tourist
for Long Journey

The most impressive mountain In
the world is Shasta in California. I'm.
like Pixies Peak and many other OF
the worlds great mountains, it is not
surrounded by number of lesser
ones, and its tremendous height--14,-
44O feet-is appreciated by the eye.
It is sublimely grand. and yet grace
fully beautiful Against the blue of a
California sky it's curved outlines seem
to sweep in the perfect segments of a
circle from the apex of the cone to the
horizon. Far up on its base the dark
green OF the timber-line is met by the.
virgin Wilderness of Shasta's snow, and
then on, up and up, far past the sum-
mer clouds. points the alabaster pyra-
mid.
Shasta is an extinct volcano, and has
two large glaciers. The Whitney
glacier is visible from the railroad. 1t
looks like narrow streak Of snow,
but it is over a mile in width, and is
scanned with great assures and crew
asses.
At times q natural banner is un-
furled from Shasta's Peak. This Is
called the SNOW banner of Shasta. !"
It only occurs when the gale attacks
the summit and blows the snow In
great gusts streaming against the
sky" as the railroad book has it

It has not been proven that BaTon

speare's, The various attempts at
such task have all turned out to be
melancholy failures. 1t has been shown
that there are many difficulties in the
way of believing that the historical
Shakespeare wrote the immortal dra-

anybody else wrote them, The STRAIT

glory Of their authorship, and if he

PROGRESS IS GOOD
NO HITCH so FAR BETWEEN THE
THREE FACTIONS REPRE-
sENTED AT NIAGARA.
REBELS START FOR CAPITOL
Discussions Of Conference Are Kept
Secret by Request Of Husrta's
Agents.

Niagara Falls, Ontario. Smooth
progress toward an agreement on all
phases Of the Mexican problem is be-
ing made by the mediators and the
American and Mexican delegates.
This was stated with emphasis by
the mediators after day of confer
ences. principally with the Mexican
delegates. The three South American
diplomats made it plain that, while
every aspect of the Mexican situation,
both internal and international, had
been laid before the delegates, no for
mai basis had been reached for the
tratment In any specified order Of the
issues involved, nor has the relative
Importance OF the main issues been
defined. The discussion thus far has
been general The mediators have
taken the position that they are es-
sentially counsellors They will not
suggest names for the provisional
presidency, nor will they recommend
any form Of government. From the
Mexican delegates themselves must
originate proposals concerning the in
ternal affairs Of their country, and
these suggestions will be transmitted
by the mediators to the American del
egates.
United States Rights.
The theory under which the internal
questions are being brought into the
discussion is that the United States
has a right to say whom it will recog-
niae as provisional president Of Mex
leo, and, therefore, can indicate in adj
vance who will be acceptable, On the
agrarian problem, too, suggestions
must originate from the Mexican del
egates. Thus far the question has
been whether Mexico's land problem
could properly be discussed in an in
ternational tribunal. The Mexican del
egates regard it as purely internal
question. The American delegates, on
the other hand, have maintained that,
as the land question has bred revolu-
ton after revolution, some program
should be considered with view to
influencing gradual settlement OF the
question. The purpose of the American
delegates, it is said is to place the
problem SO conspicuously before the
world as an obligation Of the future
provisional government that no new
administration could ignore it.
+. Officials Are Delighted.
Washington Satisfactory reports
from the Mexican mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls increased the
hopes Of the Washington government
that international warfare can be
averted and ultimate peace brought to
Mexico. The interchanges between
American commissioners and the pres
ident were not disclosed, but there
was a feeling of buoyancy at the
white house and state department de-
spite disquieting rumors. That sat
isfactory basis for working out the
international dispute had been reach
ed was declared to be a fact.

RAGTIME GOOD FOR CHILDREN
Expert at Music Supervisors Confer
ence Defends Popular sonss-says
They Are Beneficial.

Minneapolis, MINI. -Ragtime music
and the singing Of popular songs Of
the day does not injure the musical
mind of the public school child, but
rather encourages individual musical
ability, says Ralph L. Baldwin, must
cal supervisor Of the public schools at
Hartford, Conn, who is in Minneapolis
attending the seventh annual meeting
Of the National Conference Of Music
Supervisors.
Il have learned" said Mr.. Baldwin,
that ragtime music or the singing of
popular songs does not iniure the
child unsteady; that is. if not carried
to an extreme Ragtime music is moth
ing more nor less than foot ticker
for all of us, and it is good change
to fall back upon after pursuing music
for some time You know we have
to have a change in music once in a
while, just as we have to have va
cation or rest from our work, and this
lighter vein of music is what brings
about that change. It would not be
good enough, though, for the public
school pupil to just follow the popular
songs of the day and do nothing else,
for it leads to nothing"
