GREATEST IN AMERICA.

Monster Parade at Chicago to Inaugurate
Dedication Ceremonies.
The civic parade. Thursday, at Chicago
was the most notable affair of the kind
ever seen in this country. Eighty
thousand men on foot and thou
sands more mounted and in car
riages, tramped over the route be-
tween the densest masses OF people on
sidewalks. The spectators numbered over
a million, and were so closely massed that
for hours men and women were as effectu-
ally con aned as II prison. The buildings
along the line OF march we're apparently
bursting with humanity, and the decora-
tions OF the city were something wonder
full There were over 10000 strangers in
the CITY.

Yes, patientas my life has been.
One dearest sight have not seem

Alas nay dreamsl they come not true;
Thought to see fair CarcassonDel
Ihave not seen fair Carcassonne.
One sees 1t dimly from the height
Beyond the mountain blue;
Fain would walk five weary leagues
do not mind the roads fatigues-
Through morn and evenings dew;
But bitter frost would fall at night.
And on the grapes that yellow blight
could not go to carcassonne.

They say IL is as gay all times
AS holidays at home;
The gentles ride in gay attire,
And in the sun each glded spire
Shoots up like those of Rome
The bishop the procession leads,
The generals curb their prancing stee6s--
Alasi know not Carcassonnel
Alas! saw not Carcassonnel
Our wears right he breaches loud,
And bids us to beware,
He says, 30 guard the weakest part,
And most the traitor in the heart,
Against ambitions snarel"
Perhaps in autumn can find
Two sunny days with gentle wind;
then could go to Carcassonne,
l still could go to Carcassonne.

Ii this my wish offendsl
One sees more hope more high than he
In age as in his infancy,
To which his heart ascendsl
My wife, my son, have seen Narbonne,
My grandson went to Perpignan;
But have not seen Carcassonne,
But have not seen Carcassonne.
Thus sighed peasant, bent with age,
Half dreaming In his chair.

A lady now living in Detroit, wife of an

a rodent:
Il was Is years old at the time and very
fond of pets. We had a family of Maltese
kittens which were just beginning to run
about when this incident occurred.
My father had killed litter of rats,
the old mother rat escaping. That night,
after had retired, felt one of the Nal
tese kittens creeping up to my face.
took it in my arms. and went to sleep
with my cheek resting against it. In the
morning 1t was still there, and took 1t up
IL both hands to fondle it. and saw it was
big brown rat, and dropped 1t with a
scream.
My father heard me and ran into my
room, He caught the rat and dropped it
out OF the window into rain-water bar
rel, where ii was drowned. 1t was the
mother of the little rats he had killed.
and he said mother rat is docile and dis
inclined to bite. But 1t was an experience

be OWNED In,erna,lonal Hen..

The advantages which people who live
exactly on the line between two countries
have In escaping the customs and other
regulations OF both countries have often
been recounted. Probably the most pic
turesque and innocent instance OF this
kind OF evasion comes from the far west
ern town OF Nogales, which lies exactly on
the boundary between Mexico and Ari-
IONA.
On the United States side of the line In
this town eggs have been rendered dear
by the new tariff upon eggs, inasmuch as
the hens Of that region are chiefly owned
on the Mexican side OF the line and fed by
the peasants on cheap Mexican grain.
Recently Maine Yankee arrived in
Nogales, with an eye to business He was
convinced that his opportunity lay in the
high price Of eggs.
Accordingly he put up large henhouse
exactly across the boundary line. At the
American end he provided nests; and at
the other end he regularly fed his hens
with low-priced Mexican grain.
The fowls ate their grain in Mexico and
then walked across the line into the
United States to lay their eggs. The
transaction was perfectly honest, for OF
course the proprietor OF the hennery
struggled neither grain nor eggs. But he
awaited himself OF high prices on one side
and low prices on the other.-Tombstone
Prospector.
