A SUDDEN SHOWER.
Barvfooted boy. scud up the street,

Barefooted boys scud up the street,
Or skurry under sheltering sheds;
And schoolgirl faces. pale and sweet,
Clean from the shawls about their heads.
Doors bang; and mothers voices call
From alien homes; and rusty gates
Are slammed; and high above il all
The thunder grim reverberates.
And then abrupt, the rain, the raini
The earth Hes gaspine; and the eyes
Behind the streaming window-panes
Smile At the trouble Of the skies.
The highway smokes, sharp echoes ring;
The cattle hawl and cow-bells clank;
And into town comes galloping
The farmers horse, with steaming flank,
The swallow dips beneath the caves,
And firts his plumes and folds his wings;
And under the cataba leaves
The caterpillar curls and clings.
The bunble-bee is pelted down
The wet stem Of the hollyhock;
And sullenly IN spsttered brown
The cricket leaps the garden walk.
Within, the baby clsps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and vague;
Without, beneath the rose bush stands
A dripping rooster on one leg.

Workmen engaged in making the ex-

perfect skeleton was found, and under

which he had used during his life. In
the other graves but handful Of dust

Mccarthy took place before the San
Jose athletic club tonight, and resulted
in avictory for Mccarthy in the twenti-
eth round.
The men were we'll matched and the
contest was very scientific. Delaney
did most of the leading up to
the seventeenth round, and had worn
himself out to great degree. At this
time Mccarthy commenced his work
and found his opponent comparatively
easy prey. With left-handed iabs and
right-handed upper cuts Mccarthy fol
lowed Delaney over the ring. Mccarthy
showed superior generalship, and won
by his waiting tactics.
When Mccarthy saw his opponent
was growing weak, he started in to
finish him. In the ninteenth round
Mccarthy knocked Delancev through
the ropes. He was up at the end of
eight seconds; was knocked down again,
butarose at nine seconds. Mccarthy hit
him in the jaw, knocking him through
the ropes near his corner, and the call
of time saved him. In the twentieth
round Delaney fought gameiy, but was
too weak and was knocked through the
ropes at his own corner; he made a
struggle to rise but was counted out.
