CAPTAIN. DICE,
Upon the shores of Lafty Like. Tahoe, Oz, mnther, in the little hiddon bay Called Emerald, there lived, some years ago, The sailor, Captain Disk, whose board
was gray
And grizzled with much washing in tho
Gooan's salty spray.
Long years he sailed upon the stormy.con,
And saw his comrades perish, one by one, And go to feed the shocks. At hist
thought he
I'll leave the ocean ore my days are done, And have some Christian coremony when
y race is run.
Upon the bosom of this quiet hay
He found a little isle of solid rock, "Hem,' thought bo, is the plus for meto |
My shivered timbers down, safo from the
alock
Of tomposts, and of tourists who at
Bepulchres do mook,
Long time he worked there, long and jati."

With hammer, chisel, crow-bar, sledge, J
and drill,
And digged himself gavo, six feet by three, And thon pulled over kone, took out his
will,
And told the world about it in the final
codicil
Above his sepulchre he built a roof,
And nailed orons upon it for a sharing Then fancied that his final howo was proof
Against the main, the devil, and all harm; A very comfortable bunk, and very ang
and warm
His house was now in order, and ho found.
It rather lonesome kero, with naught to do
But trim his little gacht and cruise around The island where his grave was in full
viet :
Which recreation made him feel at tinos
trilobine.
So often, on ne days, he would repair
To Rowland's custom-house across the
lako
(A gia-mill is a custom-house' out there),
And there the Captain would spin yurns;
and slake
His thirst with whatsoever drink the boys
neked him to take
Sometimes be took too much, atleast he did
On the momentous day which we deplore. Twan calculated that he soaked his quid
Seme twelve or fourteen times; and then,
before
He sailed for home, he filed his jug with
a gallon wore.
Oh, fenriul are the storms of Lake Tahue, And often take the sailor unawares....... And when the tempest ones begins te blow,
He has but little time to say his prayers Nor always makes the best of this, but
reefs his sail and sours.
Next day they found the sail-lxoat upside
down,
An car or two wars testing there alive by. The only other relic was a brown
Half-gallon jag, a-bobbing high and dry i Half-empty now, but it had been full of
pernicious rye.
But Captain Dick, they found him over

To look for him was hardly worth the
while
Whon Lake Tahoe's deep water closes o'er
A may, he sinks a quarter of a mile Before he stops, as has been proved quite
frequently by trial
So, reader, if of this you have a doubt,
Just take a pilgrimage to Emrald Bay, In whose green no there stands, with
Inteli-string vul,
The summer cottage of Ben Holladay, Where Sailor Jack will woleuma you if
Ben should be away.
There you will hear the burden of this

And see the Captain's picture on the wall, And see the ship ha carved in idlo timo,
And see the cars they picked up from the

And see the empty grase, which is the

ELECTRIC GIRLS. (The New York Finca, ) . The introduction of illuminated ballet- girls has greatly added to the attractions of the spectacular sago. Girls with electric tights on their foreheads and batteries con- cealed in the recesses of their clothing Grat made their appearance a year ago, but, na yat, the use of illuminated girls has not spread beyond the stage. There is, how-
ever,
a great future awaiting the grand lea of incandescent girls, and there is reason lu beliove that in a very short timo private house will be lighted by girls, instead of etationary electric lights.
