JOHN BULL EMII8IIGML.
OUR CELEBRATION.
ft* blrdi have been practicing (lew,
but today
They gar* up their concert and flew
■war:
!And the locuita and grasshoppers,
noisy and ahrill.
Could not make themselves heard,and
ao they kept still;
'And the bluaterlng wind went oft In a
huff,
Since nobody noticed bow loud h*
could puff.
And the clouds rolled up from the weat
In a row,
>or they thought that the nolae In the
world below
Waa the vole* of the thunder to call
them together.
And ao they began to make ahowery
weather.
And the Man In the Moon, being great-
ly perplexed
To know whatever would happen next.
Wished for hands or feet, as well as
• face.
To cover hla ears up, or run from hla
place.
And the baby stare opened their bright
little eyes,
And atared down below with the great-
eat surprise
To see how the rockets ahot up In the
sky
But they never guessed out
What It all was about.
That we were lust keeping the Fourth
of July.
—Peres Is Gardiner.
cannot ones. Why. one of my giant
crackera'll go off louder than all the
rrackera at the picnic put together!
Looky here!"
He reached to a root behind him,
and ahowed Louie a bundle of the
queerest looking "crackers."
He laid one on a boulder and lit a
fuae; and didn't Louie Jump at the
nolae when It cracked that boulder!
"Now we'll have some water-works,"
said old Arliona. And he droppeil one
with a lighted fuse In the creek by
the spruce, and It went off with a
splutter that sent the water to the
spruce's top.
"And now we must hsve a real big
cannon one," he aaid; and he put three
whole crackers in a hole In a dead cot-
tonwood. And In a minute that tough
old tree flew everywhere In splinters,
while a roar louder than thunder went
rolling through the bills.
"I reckon that beata anything at the
picnic," said old Arizona.
Everybody waa yelling, and just for
a minute I didn't know what to do. I
ran, but the crackers ran with me.
LOUIE'S FOURTH WITH "OLD
ARIZONY."
It was nearly noon when "old
Arlzony," coming down from his camp
for a bucket of milk, found a lonesome
little boy standlne guard on the door-
•tep while mamma was resting wltbln.
"An' so you ain't at the picnic?" he
■aid. How'a that? Your ma wasn't
feelin' right good, an' you stayed at
home with her so's your pa could take
everybody else to the picnic. Well,
that's rough! I didn't git to go my-
self, but sure's I'm a old gold-miner
from Arlaony I'm a-thlnkln' right now
old Arliona. as he put Louis on hla
of celebratln' this Fourth If 1 can run

"Oh, If mamma waa well I "
"THAT BEATS ANYTHING AT THE

I and Natal, entailing an additional as- expense under a single
peuditure of •.'.540.000 annually.
After denouncing in the strongest
terms the attitude and action* of the
lloers, Mr. Chamberlain, with great
deliberation and emphatia, added:
"The Transvaal's enormous secret
service fund has procured it f.-iends
aad advocates in every conn try The
way the British asbject there la treat-
ed la not only a sienaes to tkem all,
but Interfcrca with our prestige
among the natives, who now regard
the Boers and not the British as the
,wramouut power.
"Besides the brcaeheaof the London
convention, the Transvaal is flagrant-
ly violating the equality that conven-
tion tvaa Intended to secure. Its
misgo'ernment is a festering sore,
poivoning the whole atmosphere of
South Africa. The Hutch in Cape
Colony and Natal would be in the hap-
piest condition, but ao long as tha
disease of hatred aad suspicion pre-
vails In the Transvaal, it la impossible
to stop the contagion.
"Four times since independence waa
granted we have been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal. It is erron-
eous to aay the British government
wants war; but It Is equally errone-
ous to aay that the government will
draw back, now that it haa put ita
Hand to the plow.
"We hope the efforts that ara now
being made will lead to an amicable
arrangement, for Great Britain only
deairea justice, but there comes a time
when patience can hardly lie distin-
guished from weakness, and when
moral preaaure becomes a farce that
cannot be continued without losa of
self-respect I trust that time may
never come in this instance, but if it
does, Britons will Insist upon the
means to tlud a result cascutial to the
peace of South Africa "
The speech was warmly applauded.
In reply to a vote of thanks, Mr.

and encouraged by their confidence
, and support He had spoken from
, the heart, because he believed they
' had reached a critical turning point

bearing them talking, opened th*

the bucket of milk, she filled one also
with cake* and plr*.
"Well. I reckon this beats all th*
rldey-go-round* at th* picnic!" said
old Arliona, aa he put Lout* on hla
burro tl*d at the garden gate.
And Louie thought so, too, as th*
burro carried blm. easy as a cradle,
all the way to old Arliona'* camp,
where th* big apruce stood up Ilk* a
tent over the pack-saddles and pick*
and pans and blankets.

course. We alwaya do. We didn't be-

and have everyone to think you a nui-
sance beside.
We had a good lot of crackers, and
my horn waa almost the biggest size
there is. though papa did say it waa a
pity I didn't get a fog-horn. I am not
sure whether ho was In earnest, how-
ever: he Isn't always.
We had no accidents; that la, noth-
ing to speak of. Polly burned two or
three of her Angers a little, but we
made that all right with soda and a
rag. and she never cried a bit; but
there waa an epiaode, and It happened
to roe. This was the way It happened.
I wanted both my handa to use, and
I had a piece of punk in one of them,
and there waa no place to lay It down,
and everybody elae's handa were full,
too. ao I—well. I Just put It into my
pocket ror a minute. It was lighted,
but 1 didn't think It would do any

and the faster I went, the harder they
popped. Then all at once I saw what
to do, and 1 pulled off my Jacket and
threw It on the grass. Luckily It waa
my Jacket, and not my trouser-pocket!
Billy took It up and shook out the
crackers, and then he turned out th*
pocket, but there wasn't much left to
turn. It was just a black rag. and it
dropped Into little pieces. Then there
was a big piece that looked as If it had
once been white, and that, tbey said,
waa my handkerchief, but I should
never have known it.
Well, of course they all laughed at
me a good deal, but I didn't mind

Is: Don't carry crackers in your pock-

Weekly. Ita myatir rites and ceremo-

great beauty and magnificent dimen-

r.ound of hammer and trowel was never
heard. Two hundred feet below the
surface of the earth, at the end of a
half-mile of windings through narrow
tunnels into the very heart of a great
limestone and porphry mountain, was
the wonderful temple—a tavern of
large dimensions abd exquisitely
adorned by stalactites bejond the pow-

at Blsbee. A. T . drifting their way in-
to the dark depths of earth, came sud-
denly upon this cavern. In the light
of their tallow dlpa It seemed like a vi-
sion Into earth's inferno. There were
the many-hued carbonized lime drip-
pings of centuries, within a limitless
rift that was shadowy and weird. The
cave haa alnee been seen by people
from many parts of the world, and Is
said to be one of the most beautiful
subterranean caverns yet discovered.
For the Masons the winding paasages
were brilliantly Illuminated by elec-
tricity. and within the main chamber

there were Innumerable lamps and an

management. For the past two months
parties representing Mr. Loving have
taken options on cattle and ranchea to
the amount of •?0,OUO.OO). These op-
tions expire July I, but It is under-
stood if necessary they can be renewed.
No doubt is expressed but that th*
big deal will be consummated for the
prices to bo paid are fair. Mr. Loving
says there is no intention to form a
cattle trust, merely an effort to con
duct an extensive cattle business, the
largest in the world. There are
6,000.000 cattle in Texas valued at
1120.0.10.040. Mr. living aays there
is no intention to disregard the anti-
trust lawa of the state; that the or-
ganization of the company is nothing
more than an immense cattle trans-
action.

Burkholder, a newspaper man, has
created a sensation in political ami
army circles in South Dakota by
charging that a United States Senator
forged a letter In support of the Sen-

ward politician*. Tha letter purported
to have been written by an officer of
the Firat regiment, Bouth Dakota vol-
unteers. whose name was withheld
through fear that the writer would be
court-martialed.
The letter reflected on practically
every feature of the conduct of the
