Health very good.
Fine weather prevailed the past
week, up to Saturday afternoon,
when considerable rain fell. which

Farmers have sown consider

conditions be favorable, planting
corn will begin in a few days.

heretofore, on account of the higf

our idea is that after the amour

Musings of Young Man While Watching the
Burning of His Old Home.
LOVINGLY INSCRIBED TO ALBERT N. c.

The Dawn waking in the East
And Life was in the air.
And, busy with my outdoor task
i had no thought of care.
But, ah, | knew not even then
was misfortune's prey,
And that The heavy hand of Fate
Upon my future lay
For, turning, 10, blaze of light
Flashed on my wondering eyes,
While sheets and tongues of urd flame
Lit up the morning skies.
Transfxed stood alone, and watched
The burning roof give way,
As on the cracking fires swept
Like maddened 6ends at play
know twas but simple Cot,
Half hid among the trees,
Where honeysuckles blocmed wild
To scent the summer breeze,
And DER the porch ran clambering vines
The MONDAY sun to screen,
And there the little swallows built
Their nest within the green.
Twas there my mothers loving eyes
Would smile upon her boy,
And there kept my heart attuned
To every childish joy.
Twas there roamed the woodlands DER
And frolicked with the breeze
And threw my tired limbs to rest
Beneath the old Oak trees.
Twas there my brothers shared my sports
AS sped the hours away,
And there little sisters voice
Was heard in laughing play.
Twas there gathered round the hearth
Each blessed eventide,
And Mother, with her dear, sweet face,
Was ever at our side
She loved our little woodland Cot,
With busy life astr,
And while it stood | always felt
1t held part of HER;
But ah, those sacred, holy joys
Were all forever rivep,
When Angels caught my Mothers soul
And bore it safe to heaven.
And now all desolate stand
And watch the flames burn low
And cannot stay the wretched pain
That bids the teardrops flow
Behind the scowling clouds see
No sunlight from the rift.
My~iome in ashes Mother gone
All, whittier shall drift

WHILES AWAY HOUR
BY RESCUING THREE
Citizen, Waiting for Friend, Pre-
vent DrOWningS.

Charles Schaupp, of 533 East Eighty
eighth Street, waited for friend last
night in the Cygnet Boat Club, at the
foot of East Eighty-fourth Street. 1t
is not of record that the friend ever
arrived, but Schaupp's time was not al
together wasted.
First of all the shouts of children
PLAYING on the river front attracted
Schsupp's attention TO dark ball bob
bing along well out toward midstream.
He got into rowboat with another
member of the club and came back
with a man who presently was able TO
say he was James Harper, without a
home or a wish to live.
Harper was taken to Bellevue Hos
pital, a prisoner. charged with attempt
ing suicide.
Schaupp looked at his watch and
then up the street. The friend was
not in sight.
There we're more screams after a
while-from out on the river SchauDp
climbed into his boat and rowed away.
He came back with two passengers,
both naked and exhausted. They were
Daniel Collins and Arthur Mazary who,
sent TO Blackwell's Island TO be treat
ed for the drug habit, had started TO
swim back TO the realm of white pow
der and golden dreams.
After policemen had put Mazary and
Collins into a patrol wagon and the
rescuer's name into little book,
Schaupp called it a night and went
home.
