PAGE SIX. "YUKON POET" III PENDLETON 'BOir ROBINSON WIIX sojourn for week AYliile S1ihIiIiir About Alaska Wrote Verses Which He Now Present Through Medium of tlie Vaudeville Stage -Is at tlie Orheum While Here One of Ills Cluirrtoterlsilr Efforts. Cob" Eoblnson, "root of the Yu kon" Is sojourning In Pendleton this week. While here he Is one of the attractions at the Orpheum. He Is vaudeville artist, but he takes that method of rrescnt'.ng his verses to the public. He came down from the Alas ka gold fields but a short time ago. When he arrived he brought with him a bunch of verses he had written when slushing around in frozen north. Here is one that was written since his ar rival and it is characteristic of his work: Tlie Sounlough's Ijuucnt. Well, rard, I'm clean disgusted, sure, So I've set down to write. I've seen this town, from end to end, And tasted each delight. I've tried their grub and drank their booze, It's Just the same old game, And after all, this outside life Is just about the same. You know up North we mushed and ..... .cussed The country and the cold. And took an oath when once outside No more to search for gold. But Bill, If you were only here, I know 'twould make you sick; They're hustling harder for it here "Lead pipes" the thing no pick. They're here to meet you at the boat, And give you a glad hand, They've got the mitt and size you up Before you even land. They shake your hand with greatest joy, You quickly lose all fear They're all your friends, you're glad you came And promptly buy the beer. They're glad you came, their Joy Is real You are a nice soft thing; They like your Jokes, and drink your booze. And give their Jaws full swing. They praise the boys who swing the pick; They take you round the town. And show you how to spend your dough They do that r!ght up brown. And all goes well and life's a dream, Your hardships are forgot; You go the pace and have the fun Your "friends" help out a lot. You never knew the way up North Prospecting round for pay, You had so many loving "friends" Who'd make your life so gay. The street cars din, the glare of lights Cast over you a spell; Seductive music, charming maids, All make your bosom swell. You order wine on with the dance, Why spare a little dust? There's plenty more where we found that; What if we do go bust? But whn the dreary morning breaks, No light no song, just ra'n; You try to raise your throbbing head. The effort is in vain. At last the time has come to think, I scarce know my own name; An arhine head an empty poke It's just the same old game. Fo Hill, that's why I'm coming back STOMACH AGONY.

Hun dreds of thousands of people w ho' suf fer from belching gas; biliousness, sour stomach, fullness, nausea, short-n'-cs of brf-ath, bad taste In mouth, fou! breath, nervousness and other distressing fymftoms, are asking th-m?e!ves that question daily. And if these same doubting dys I" r tir could only read the thousands or sincere letters from people who "life Mjff-r d as badly as thy (o now but who have been quickly and per manently cun-d by the use of Mi-o r.a, -.ne m gnty dyspepsia remedy that cures by removing the cause, they would (?o to Tallman & Co. this very day and get a large box of Ml-o-na tablets, and start themselves on the right road to health at once. The price of Mi-o-na tablets Is only aO cents, and Tallman & Co. guaran tee them to cure indigestion or mon ey back. Thin or lean or serawney people will find in Mi-o-na a maker of flesh and blood, because It causes the stomach to extract more nutritious matter from the food, wb'ch quickly enriches the blood.

IIAXFORD, AS "PETRVCHO," In "THE TAMIXG OP THE This outside life's a sham; rney nice you wnne your money lasts; These "friends" ain't worth a damn. They say a man who leaves this place To mush back over the trail. Has had his brain nipped by the frost His minds a little frail. That may be so but still I think, With all their clever art, That man's a "prince" compared with those Who're frozen to the heart. IEnvoi. I'm going back to the Yukon; I'm going back to stay. The frozen land of the midnight sun Where the bright auroras play. Going back where a man's a man Regardless of his poke; Where manhood means far more than gold. And honor Is not a Joke. You may keep your gilt and tinsel And all your gaudy show Tis a garren waste and colder far Than the land of Ice and snow. Bill, put on the old bean pot; First, wire a little dough; And I'll come back and play the game Where square deals only go. Bob Robinson, Miner Poet Copyrighted, 1906. Printed with his permission.

(New York World ) A long-horned ;cow belonging to Edward La Guire, a dairyman of Northwest, a hamlet near Sag Har bor, Long Island, suddenly went cra zy and killed five other cows before committing suicide. The crazed cow broke loose from her stall and at tacked the others, goring them until they died. The noise attracted the dairyman and his workmen, but she turned upon them when they tried to drive her off. Fearing she might sue ceed in killing all his cows, La Guire started for the house on a run to fetch his gun. Before he could return she had committed suicide by butting her head against an upright beam. A vet erinarlan believes she must have suf fered from rabies. How's Tills ?
