Buffalo Bill
Son of the West, he knew her soul,
Lived her life, heroic and free;
Blazed her frontier way to her goal;
Saw in the future her galaxy,
Stars resplendent that rose on his view;
Helped her to fashion her destiny great,
Building untrodden empires new;
known was he in each rising state;
Pioneer trains he guided where
Else but for him in desert lost;
Indians he knew and of beasts the lair;
Braved he all dangers, risk and cost,
Kindred in soul to Carson and Boone.
Last was he of the Vests great scouts;
First of Rough Riders, "Wild West"
dragon,
Scaled he at last Deaths grim redoubts!
Lay him now in his rock-hewn tomb,
High on the summit of Mount Lookout!
Sunshine, starshine, snow or bloom,
Ever round him, our last great scout!
Deeds he wrought that echo still
Name and fame of Buffalo Bill''t
H. T. Sudduth.

The Way Home

Whichever way the feet may tread,
However far the place,
We find Loves holy fountainhead,
And know its tender grace.
Our footsteps always lead us home,
Our hearts are guiding too;
And voices sound from all around.
Ah-Home is calling you!
Man strays to foreign lands and fair.
His missions bid him go.
And we must wander everywhere
If duty will it so.
But through this pilgrimage of years
Some fate has planned it thus;
Our hearts keep track of safe trails back
And Home is calling US!
Youth sets bold foot outside the gate,
And faces westward no!
The Little Mother begs him wait,
But Youth is bound to go.
And there are many lonely years.
And there are eyes made dim,
Till loves sweet way shall fix the day
When Home will call to him!
The pathway back is red and rose;
The birds still have song;
The same clear childhood river flows
The same green wood along.
And oh, but it is good to feel
That old sweet ecstasy,
Its poignant grief, its great relief,
Ah-Home is calling me!
W. Livingston Ldynsd.

At Long Falls

1t was determined to have new bridge
and dam over Long Falls. A neighboring
town wanted electric power; the county
wanted safer and better bridge; and the
lumber company, which had long and
valuable log chute, was ready to have that
improved and strengthened. The work of
replacing the woodwork with steel girders
and cement piers and sides had been well
and safely done. The workman were COM
pleting and testing the stop-log apparatus
of the dam, when big pry stick broke and
two men were hurled backward. One fell
into the log chute and was swept with great
speed down into the river beyond. A log
makes this journey in four seconds, and this
He kept his presence of mind, and when he
was plunged into the pool at the other end,
he swan as hard as he could under the wa
ter to escape the logs whirling above his
head. When he came to the surface he was
in comparatively quiet water, and swan
easily to the shore; but his companion did
not fare so we'll.
Both sides of the cut through which the
water falls are rough and jagged. The wa
| ter is lashed into fury. From the angry,
tossing flood, mist and spray constantly
| rise.o
The second workman was plunged, not
into the log chute, but into this roaring
| chasm. He was a clever waterman, and,
quick as cat, he turned in the air and
caught at one of the Jagged rocks. His
hold, however, was very precarious.
"Hold on!'' shouted the foreman.
"We'll get you rope!''
The men hurried to bring help; but the
mans hold began to slip. He chung as
| we'll as he could, but there was nothing to
dig his fingers into, and down he went into
the boiling water.
But he was caught by broken limb of
tree that lay amidst the rocks. The men
on the dam shouted to him to hold on
They worked frantically. They shot a
line across the river and passed strong
rope to the opposite bank. That was now
lowered in the hope that the man could
seize it. But he was choking in the spray,
and dangling from the limb without being
able to help himself.
Then the man who had gone down the
log chute asked the privilege of going out
rope was hauled in and he was tied fast to
it. Then he was lowered over the waters.
The men above could hardly see what
was happening, so thick was the rising
mist; but they swung the daring rescuer
lower and lower until it seemed that he
must reach his friend. There came reas-
surfing tug on the line.
Then the spray whirled aside for mo-
ment, and the spectators saw the man who
had been hanging on the tree lifted high
over the rocks, only to fall again into the
raging food. The rescuer made frantic
efforts to reach his fellow. That effort was
too much for the ropes that bound him.
He. too, fell into the roaring water.
| The men on shore climbed hastily down
the rocky bank. In an eddy at the bottom
of the first mad rush of water they found
the man who had bravely gone to the res
cue OF his mate. He was unconscious, one
arm was broken, and his body was badly
lacerated. They dragged him out and
worked over him until consciousness re-
turned. But the body of the other man
was not found until the next spring.-Es.

The old family physician being away

Leaues From Our Poets
The Country Faith


Here in the country's heart
Where the grass is green,
Life is the same sweet life. =
As it e'er hath been.
Trust in God still lives,
And the bell at morn
Floats with a thought of God
Der the rising corn.
God comes down in the rain,
And the crop grows tall
This is the country faith,
And the best of all!

MORE THAN NONSENSE MAKER
Edward Lear, Known to Most as Gen.
tie Humorist, Was Also Famed
as Painter.

Most of us when we think of Edward
Lear think vaguely of someone who
wrote delectable rhymes of nonsense
and fun, q man who made queer pic
lures of impossible creatures to go
with his rhymes, who compiled weird
natural history and botany all his
own, and spent his life making odd
jokes.
We have sung, or heard someone
else sing, his 'Owl and the Pussy
at"-and-and-well that's about
all.
But Edward Lear's nonsense books
were the very smallest part of the
work of a long and busy life, and his
real labor was that of painter rather
than a writer.
More than what he did, even, was
what he was-a lOvable and charming
man, adored by children, with the gen
tlest heart in the world, q great lover
of beauty and devoted to his friends.
Lear's real character and work have
been described in st. Nicholas, by Hill
degarde Hawthorne. Though Lear's
work was in general so serious, to
the end of his life in 1888, Miss Haw-
thorne says, he continued to write his
ridiculous verses and make his funny
sketches in letters to his friends.
