Srocer's boy threw out to them.
In the next field some sheep and a
couple OF little lambs were confined.
A little girl came down from the
house, and calling one of the lambs
to her, she petted and Rugged it,
calling it loving names.
"How foolish that child acts over
that silly lamb, said one goat to
another. Am I not as beautiful
and endearing as a lamb"
ut is stupid to be lamb" said
the nearest goat. ~You cannot run
about as freely and eat greasy papers
and tin cans when you want to; you
had better be content to be a goat so
long as you cannot help yourself"
But the foolish goat would not at
tend to these words of wisdom. The
next time the little girl came near
the field he ran over to her and be-
gan jumping and prancing all about
her, seeking to attract her attention,
that she might pet him as she did
the little lamb.
But instead OF petting him the lit
tie girl was frightened. She cried,
and then her big brother, the farm
er's boy, came and drove of the big
goat with stick, and ended by Civ.
Ing him good beating.
Il suppose you are satisfied now,
you silly fellow" contemptuously
saic the wise goat to his mistaken
brother. "You would have been
much happier if you had BEEN con.
tent to stay here and eat greasy pa
pers and tomato cans. 1t is better
to act like a good goat than like a
bad imitation o. a lamb"

Five-year-old Frances got into the

Frances.

Frances looked abashed, and her

YALE BEATS HARVARD.
Close Race and Fighting Finish Between
the Two Crews.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 3d.
Yale's blue waved triumphantly at
noon today in her third and greatest
victory of the week, the annual var
sity crue race over the historic four
mile course on the Thames. 1T was the
hardest as well as the closest race
pulled by the great rivals for years and
until the last half mile was reached the
contest hung in the balance. By mag
nificent equipoise Harvard had the
lead, but the pace was too fast. The
crimson boat shivered, shuddered and
finally collapsed after sresigning lead
when the race was quarter over.
The blue oars on the other hand grew
steadier with every stroke and at the
close were sending the boat along at
one of the strongest, most uniform
and speediest rate ever traversed by
Yale shell
The contest was a terrible test of en-
durance, especially if the light weight
of the occupants OF the rival shells is
taken into account. A strong head
wind came up about 1910 and blew a
stiff breeze squarely against the backs
of the crews and kept the time nearly
minutes slower than the records
made by the crews last year.
Every instant during the race the
breeze increased and by the time half
of the course had been traversed the
Thames had been stirred into quite
formidable whitecaps and miniature
gale was blowing up the river, but the
| Gales' sand, endurance and training
won the day. Bob Cooks boys were
outclaSsed at the start by the Har-
wards sprightier and more effective
stroke on the first mile, but it was a
case OF survival of the fittest." This
, was evident from the time the Yales'
stroke began to tell at the end of the
second mile until the bow shot across
the line at the end of the fourth mile,

GALVESTON, June 30.-A dispatch
was received here tonight from Sena-
tor Miles Crowley, now in Washing
that Hon. George P. Finlay was to-
day appointed by President Cleveland
to be collector of customs at Calves
ton. Thus is seems that out of about
20 applicants for the office Finlay's
pole was the longest and he will sue
coed Gun as collector. This is par
ticularly sour grapes to Congressman
elect Gresham, who has been doing
everything in his power to defeat
Colonel Finlay. Speculation is already
rife as to who will receive appoint
meuts under Colonel Finlay There
are already a host of applicants for
the ;lace and upon his return from
Washington he viii be heseiged with
petitions and personal applications.
1t is safe to say, however, that no
Gresham man need apply. Colonel
Finlay's friends are jubilant over his
success.

To Tax Scenic Advertisements.

The practice of defacing natural seem
cry with great advertisements is not SO
prevalent in the United States as it was
a generation ago, and public sentiment
is steadily growing stronger against it..
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers of
nature recognize that some definite ac-
ton must be taken. The Thames val
ley, the most picturesque mountain spots
in Wales and the loyeliest corners of
Deyonshire have been greatly injured by
huge advertisements. The well known
architect, Mr.. Waterhouse, has pro
posed that if they cannot actually be
prohibited they should at least be di-
unfinished by the imposition of heavy
license tax.-Chicago Herald.

Shot According to Law.

KANSAS CITY, June 30.-Joe Bird, a
Choctaw negro, was shot according to
law at II o'clock this morning at Will
burton by Sheriff John Perry of
Gaines county. The condemned man
sat upon plank and his hands W re
held up by two other men. A piece Of
white paper was pinned on his shirt
over his heart and he was killed by a
bullet from revolver at distance of
five PAGES. Bird murdered his mother
in law and wife. Next Friday four
Choctaws are to be shot and the fol-
lowing Friday five more for the same
penalty as Bird. The murders by the
latter niue men were caused by poll

Yale's slow stroke hardly changed.
Two handred and fifty yards from the

slightly unsteady pace. The lead had
been increased to about 10 yards.
