On the shore of lake where fantom mists
Wreathe and curl toward the empty skies,
Tinged with the hue of amethysts.

Wrinkled, worn with the stress of storm,
Derelict gaunt of a changeful plan;
Lonely, naked and bloodless form.
Where oncethe horned owl built nest
Are taloned spurs like witch's hand;
The plume wherein the breeze found rest
Is dream of ghosts, while stark stand
dream of thunders that growl and roar,
And of lightning bolts in the livid sky;
touch wild life can feel no more,
For ghastIy and stark and dead am 1.

Apollo Club Entertains

In place of the regular moving picture
show last Wednesday. July %, the Apollo
Club of Minneapolis made its annual trip
to this institution and entertained the in
mates with short program of excellent
songs. The Club, with membership of
about fifty, didn't arrive until $3.50 p. m.
on account of one of their cars breaking
down, so the intended program had to be
considerably shortened. The program
they were enabled to present in the short
time remaining, however, was fully appre-
ciated and generously applauded by the in
mate audience.
While waiting for the appearance of the
Apollo Club, the Nj. S. P. orchestra en-
tertained the audience with number of ex-
cellent selections, following which is the
program:

satiated with the same old song and dance
stuff. and their theaters will be the finest
and best equipped in the country for
vaudeville and motion picture purposes.
Mammoth symphony orchestras will be

Why Legless Men Live
the Longest

A man who has lost leg is likely to live
longer than if he had not lost it, and a man
who has lost two legs is likely to live long
er still. This remarkable statement was
made by Col. Openshaw, M. D., at the
opening of hospital for the limbless in
London.
The heart has to pump the blood into
extremities and back again, so that if the
legs are taken away the heart is relieved OF
a great strain and, other things being equal,
will continue to work longer.
And Col. Openshaw added that legless
man can be better swimmer than before
his loss.-Ex.

o thou that sendest out the man
To rule by land and sea,
Strong mother of lion line
Be proud of those strong sons of thine
Who wrench'd their rights from thee!
What wonder, if IN noble heat
Those men thine arms withstood,
Retaught the lesson thou hadst taught,
And in thy spirit with thee fought
Who sprang from English blood!
But thou rejoice with liberal Joy,
Lift up thy rocky face
And shatter when the storms are black,
In many streaming torrent back
The seas that shocked thy base!
Whatever harmonies of law
The growing world assume,
Thy work is thine-the single note
From that deep chord which Hampden smot,
Will vibrate to the doom.

ger by the jumps, scoring Peulen. Christ

ing the game.
Arndt. who opened up the artillery work
for the visitors, had all kinds>of speed but
was unusually wild with his deliveries. He
pitched only three innings and allowed but
one safe hit, struck out three men, passed
three on balls and bit one batsman. Nc
Pherson who relieved him in the fourth in
ming undertook to play in a position that
he hasn't had very much experience in. His
work in that position was as good as could
be expected of him and during his period
upon the mound he allowed six hits, struck
oat three men, passed two on balls, issued
three wild pitches and hit one batsman.
Wells who worked upon the mound for
the locals, struck out eight men, passed
two on balls and allowed seven safe hits.
On account of the excessive heat and the
locals having the best end of the game,
Wells did not exert himself very much in
pitching. He was willing to let his team
mates do their share in the defensive work.

Corn Remains What It Was
Before Columbus Landed

The early Indians grew flint corn for
hominy and -four corn for bread and soups.
They invented "succotash," composed of
maize and beans, with butter and salt add
ed. We owe to them all of our best re-
cipes for the preparation of corn, not ex-
cepting "hoecake' and cornbreads.
Corn remains today what it was before
Columbus landed, the great American
food crop. Our last years crop of maize,
loaded on wagons in single file and allow
ing 20 feet to each wagon, would make a
line long enough to encircle the globe nine
and q half times.-Ex.

The Engineer

The seven steel ribbed coaches
Draw smoothly to the shed,
And you and other passengers
Now hurry home to bed;
You've done your easy hundred miles
In ninety minutes clear
Then thank the man who brought you,
The old gray engineer.
Your hope, your love, your children,
The prayers that you have prayed,
Lie in his faithful fingers
On trestle, curve and grade;
By crossing, draw and culvert
His leaping engine roars,
And clear as altar lamps he sees
The green lit semaphores.
Unthanked and unremembered,
He holds your life secure;
His service does not falter,
His hand and eye are sure;
A thousand tons 60 flashing
Along that ribbon slim;
The roar of his tall driving wheels
Is very like hymn.
His miracle of power
Is terrible and swift;
Farewells and lovers meetings
Are equally in his gift;
In starlight or in snowstorm,
A man of creed austere,
He brings you home in safety
The old gray engineer.
