Watch Our Windows For Bargains - GOLDEN RULE BAZAAR. The Pioneer's Last Goal. Upon the verdant Weatern plain he stood And gazed across the prairie'a broad expanae. Then restless, toward the distant fringe of wood Beneath the sunset sky swept on hit glance. A trackless plain had been the flowery land, A desert spreading o'er a fruitful soil, Until he came and wrought with restless band A paradise rewarding well his toil. But soon be heard the westward march ing throng, And caught the city'a stifling breath from far. The noisy moving crowds would come ere long His aolitude, his wider life to mar. Again his soul with restless throbbing yearned To conquer new-found wilda beneath his hand. He craved the acent of furrowa freshly turned Upon the virgin soil in newrr land. Anon unon his dream v vision rose A land of mountains, streams and giant trees Whose very motion seemed calm re pose, While gently flowed the western ocean's breeze. A nature strange, but grander yet and freer Lay westward goldened by the setting sun. The zephyr wafted oftly to his ear The plashing of the distant Oregon. Then shone his eyes with newly kindled fire; Again ambition atirred bia heaving breast, And louder spoke hia spirit's new desire : Onward, onward, toward the sea-bound west. Andrew Franzkn.
