SUNSET ON LAKE SUPERIOR

Close Of the Day.

A sunset on Lake Superiori Match
1t, in its respondent beauty on late
November day, If you can. The clouds
that had darkened the sun as the
TranscontiDental Limited sped along
the precipitous shores, melted away,
leaving narrow streaks, like ribbons of
gray floating above the waters rim.
Dappled gray clouds In masses cIung
to the zenith. The slowly setting sun
began to paint its own heroic picture.
The ribbons of clouds changed from
gray to pearl, from pearl to amethyst
and then to richest gold. The convo-
luted masses overhead WILDLY reflect
ed these changes. The quiet waters of
the lake shone like mirror of pol
ished bronze. The sun was sinking
fast. While the passengers were voIc-
Ing their delight, the last ray of the
sun disappeared, and lake and rocky
shore sank into the shadows of night.
As the train climbed above the lake its
waters were left out of the range of
vision, but, strangely enough, the lake
seemed to appear again in the dis
tance, with low-hilled islands outlined
In faint glow of red. We discov-
cred that what seemed to be Islands
were floating clouds, and what seemed
to be the water In which they rested
was an Illusion. 1t was caused by the
clear atmosphere lit by the gray light
OF fast-faliing eventide. 1t was beau
tiful and impressive, but an Illusion
that quickly disclosed Itself and melt
ed AWAY as the train sped on.-John

elk which was recently pictured and
storied the country over after having
been captured in pool at the bath
house and placed in the City Park,

that was killed was chased into town

herd feeding near town.

The knight bounded down the stairs

The old lord listened with wonder

The famous stories of the middle
ages were preserved by three agen-

were poets and origindtors; the trou-

learned monks, who set the more
important legends down in vriting.
One of the latter was a monk of
