Old friend, we've journeyed far and wide
Der rugged hills and hollows;
With yearning hearts at eventide,
We've watched the homing swallows;
We've known the bitter grief and dole
that cry unheard to heaven,
Like some pc II, hell-bound tortured soul
Condemned and unforgiven.
Through sins fair vale, near sorrows mart,
We've wandered free and joyous,
Where hidden by the tempter's art,
Death waited to destroy us;
We've drunk life's bitter and its sweet,
Have seen our castles tumbled
In ruins at our weary feet,
Yet smiled, nor even grumbled.
Our blood has sanguined many field,
Though courage ne'er departed,
Nor foeman forced us yet to yield,
Nor either grown faint hearted;
We've known the peace of eventide,
When days hard fight was ended,
And sunsets crimson glory died,
AS earth and sky we're blended.
Then, to the bliss of sweet repose,
When real cares and seeming,
Depart, and life's stream gently flows
To slumber's land and dreaming;
We've felt the fury of the blasts,
And known the calm succeeding,
Far sweeter is the storm that's past
A lesson worth the needing.
We've known the warmth of summers sun,
The blight or winters weather,
And when at last, our race is run,
Well leave the track-together;
Aye, hand in hand, as in the past.
Well journey DER the river;
Together cen unto the last

JUDGE TRIP HOLDS THAT RAIL
ROAD Is NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR FIRE.

Tyndall, Dec. 24.-The Milwaukee
railway won an important fire insur-
ance case which has just been dis
posed of in the state circuit court in
this city. c. j. Dickson and several
insurance companies instituted the
action against the railway company
for the purpose of seeking to recover
the value of an elevator which was
burned during the month of Septem-
ber, 1914, 1t being alleged by the
plaintiffs that the fire was caused by
sparks from a locomotive belonging
TO the railroad company.
The trial consumed two days, and
at the conclusion of the offering OF
evidence Judge r.. b. Tripp directed
the jury to return verdict in favor
of the defendant railway company.
The case was decided upon the propo-
sition that the elevator In question
was situated upon leased ground and
that the lease from the railway COM
pany to Mr.. Dickson contained a
clause exempting the railway com
pany from liability for any damage
caused to the elevator by reason OF
fire which might be set by the COM
panys locomotives.
