Local socialists and union labor men who today heard of his disap pearance, jumped at the most sens ational theory.

Tis years since I left my childhood home . ' On the banks of Ohio's beautiful stream, And now In a distant land I roam, And life seems only a fitful dream. For, foreign the landscape on which I gaze, And the scenes about me are strange and new; And strange are the faces, the man ners and ways, And the voices, alas! are different too. And turn where I will, I cannot find A link to connect with the life of the past; My heart is heavy, my eyes are blind With the teardrops gathering thick and fast. But I step outside as the night de scends, And I look aloft at the deep blue sky, Where the crescent moon ln the west low bends. ' And the gleaming stars pass slow ly by. . The Great Dipper's handle westward Bwlngs, ' And Arctums follows with radiant light, While Virgo near by with outspread wings Southwest through the heavens pursues her flight. And see! In the southern sky there burns The star of the Scorpion fiery red; There Sagittarius his arrow turns, And the Eagle of Jove soars over head. The beautiful cross of the Swan shines on high, And Vega, that marks the Orphean lyre; The milky way spans the dome of the sky, And Pegasus slowly climbs up higher. And I feast my eyes on each well known star That shines as an old-time friend ln the sky Though my weary feet have traveled far, I still am at home when I gaze on high. BULLOCK. COAL KING.
