The Old SwimInin' Hole
BY James whitoomb Riley.

BY James Whitoomb Riley.
Oh! the old swimmin' -i1ole! WHARF
the criclx so still and deep
Looked like a baby river that was
laying half asleep,
And the gurgle of the wortcr round
the drift jest below
Sounded like the laugh Of something
we onc't ust to know
Before we could remember anything
but the eyes
OF the angels lookin' out as we left
Paradise;
But the merry days of youth is be-
yond our control,
And it's hard to part forever with
the old swimmin'- hole.
Oh! the old swimmin' -hole! In the
happy days of yore,
When I ust to lean above 1t on the
old sickamore.
oh! It showed me face in its warm
sunny tide
That gazed back at me so gay and
g1orified.
It made me love myself, as I leaped
to caress
My shadder smilin' up at me with
SIGH tenderness.
But them days is past and gone. and
old Times tuck his toll
From the old man come back to the
old swimmin'- hole.
Oh! the old-swimmin'- hole In til
long, lazy days
When the hum-drum of school made
so many run-a-ways,
How pleasant was the journey down
the old dusty lane,
WHARF the tracks of our bare feet
was all printed so plane
You could tell by the dent OF the heel
and the sole
They was lots o. fun on hands at the
old swimmin' -hole.
But the lost joys is past! Let your
tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the
old swimmin'- hole.
Thare the bullrushes growed, and the
cattails so tall,
And the sunshine and shadder fell
over it all;
And 1t notified the worter with amber
and gold
Tell the glad lilies rocked in the rip
pies that rolled;
And the snake feeders four gauzy
wings fluttered by
Like the ghost of daisy dropped out
of the sky,
Or al wounded apple blossom In the
breezes' control
As 1t cut acrosi some orchard lords
the old swimmJn'- hole.
OH the old swimniin' hole! When
I last saw the place,
The scenes was all changed, like the
change in my face;
The bridge of the railroad now crosses
the spot
WHARF the old divin'-log lays sunk
and forgot.
And I stray down the banks WHARF
the trees ust to be-
But never again will theyr shade
shelter me!
And I wish in my sorrow could strip
to the soul,
And dive off in my grave like the
old swimmin hole.

and unsupported, they see the wisdom
or obtaining exact information as to
their physical condition"
The creation OF such an attitude on
the part of the public is one Of the
most valuable achievements in the
West Virginia fight against venereal
diseases and is part of the general
growing feeling that to minimize We
nereal diseases they must be recog-
nized and dealth with as typhoid and
scarlet fever are. Health authorities
everywhere are working to enlighten
public ignorance of these scourges
and TO correct the semi ignorance
which is quite as disastrous. Careful
examination, of the which the blood is
a part, is recognized as the most pow
erful weapon against the half-knowl-
edge which believes that syphilis al
ways betrays itself in unmistakable
form and does not know that an in
lection too slight to receive attention
IN the early stages. may yet result in
locomotor ataxia or paresis years Ia
ter or in the death born and unborn.
1t is recognized, also, that thorough
examination is the best means for
counteracting excessive fear of syphi-
lis. The movement for control of this
disease will have made incalculable
strides when scientific examinations
become SO much the general custom,
that they will be taken as merely part
Of the usual course OF a thorough ply
steal survey implying nothing but
that the physician knows his busi-
ness"

which so often saps the physical and
mental strength of genius. And then
and for fifteen years the art world
which had known him, loved him and
which was just beginning to realize
what his future would be. believed
that he was dead. And his pictures,
which too often in his need had been
unappreciated, rose to very great val

Mrs. AIIis
And then Dicky and I in the Cos
grove farmhouse, had been shown a
collection of the paintings of Mrs. Cos
groves brother. Dicky had recognized
them at once as the work Of the miss
ing artist, and had pronounced them
to be worth $4,000. The reception of
his verdict by Mrs. Allis, a mysterious
paying guest of the Cosgroves, had
made me suspect that she was in a
plot to steal the pictures.
How swiftly things had moved from
that moment! My memories were like
my suspicious, the discovery that Rob-
ert Savarin was not dead, but still
living, although mentally unbalanced
for fifteen years, the result of the cruel
ty and desertion of the young WIFE,
the 'waif of the studios" he had ador-
ed. and the thrilling moment when
Robert Savarin, restored to sanity,
faced Mrs. Allis in the act of trying TO
steal his pictures. He had recognized

E.stinabIe Woman
Called By Death

1t is with much regret that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary
Gee, estimable wife of our old-time
t0wnsman Robert w. Gee. Death
came to relieve Mrs. Gee OF her suf-
fefing Saturday morning in Salt
Lake hospital where she was taken
about two weeks previous to be treat
ed for an injury which she suffered
by q fall, which injured her hip.
She was getting along nicely at
first, when she was attacked by the
grip. Things went from bad to
worse, and the middle OF last week
she developed pneumonia, and she
sank rapidly from that time until she
was called from this life on Saturday
morning.
Mary Gee had spent forty useful
years in Montpelier. and was So years
of age. Up to the time of her un-
fortunate fall, she had enjoyed fairly
good health, and got about in very
sprightly manner. When it was
known that her injuries were OF a
serious nature, she expressed a de-
sire to be removed to Salt Lake,
where her son Denton. is a practic-
ing physician, wanting to be brought
back to health under his care.
Mrs. Gee was known by practical
ly every resident of Montpelier, and
she had as many friends as she had
acquaintance. She Is survived by b
husband and six children, besideh
six grandchildren. The surviving
children are Leslie Gee of Portland
DIR. Denton Gee of Salt Lake; Cleve
Gee of Virginia. Mrs. Genevieve
Lemm Of Muslcegon, Michigan; Nell
and Sherwood Gee booth Of Mont
pelier.
Mrs. Gee was a member OF the
Presbyterian church and a member
OF the Women's Benefit association
of tho Maceabees and the woodcrafl
lodge.
Funeral services were held in Salt
Lake Monday.

MONTPELIER AS "A
SHOPPING CENTEF

That Montpelier has got good
stores and business institutions is
demonstrated every day by the num-
Der of out of town shoppers who
come here to buy goods of every de-
scription. Especially is this true in
regard to wearing appeared Some
of the bigger dry goods stores have
patrons who come here from Pocatel-
10, western Wyoming and northern
Utah. MANY Ogden people are known
to snop in this city. The Montpelier
merchants carry high grade lines,
and with lower overhead expenses
naturally sell at prices below those
OF other cities.
Metropolitan ideas are in evidence
In the leading stores of the city,
and being right up to the minute in
regard to styles Of apparel, the Mont
pelier merchants have won an envi-
able reputation for themselves, which
is working out to their advantage by
large circle of patrons at distant
points, as well as enjoying nearly O
hundred percent Of the patronage OF
the people Of the city and county.
