have crawled into a nail hole on the
back end OF some barn. However we
might suggest to the kickers that the
next time YOU sneak a mar of to
Washington to blacken some ones
character, don't send some broken
down, ring boned, spawned, broken
winded political hack with more in
dictments to his credit than Joseph
had patches on his coat and who caused
the department officials to hold their
noses every time he made his appear
ance. It is an old saying that wise
men learn by experience, but fools
never do. Ia tn, tn Ia. Ia ta."
The attention Of every tax payer in
Union county Ia respectfully called 10
the fact that the board Of county COM
missioners will meet as an equalizing
board on the 5th anu 9Th Of July. On
those dates every assessor in the
county will be present at the meeting.
Then Is the time to make any objec-
tons to the assessment Of 1894. 1t
costs the county 50 q day to have each
assessor pre- sent and there Is no ed-
son, if you object to the assessment,
why you should not register 1t on
either of those days. The law provides
that the assessment shall be equalized
and sent to the state board, after
which it is beyond the reach Of our
hands. No refunds will be issued on
the assessments this year unless q
palpable error exists, and If you have
any objection, make them on the DAYS
mentioned or forever hold your peace.
By order OF commissioners.
The genial souls who conduct the
Akron Register very kindly are look
ing after the political interests Of I'm
ion county. Appreciation is a virtue
| which the republicans hereabouts pos
sess and IL we can have the rest OF the
ticket picked out, it will w a good
deal OF bother. The Register in the
last issue states: "The many friends
Of o. j. Smith of Union county are
urging him to become Il candidate for
the Office of superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Smith Is a good republican and a
young man OF integrity. Oscar is a
fine scholar, having graduated from
the Northwestern Normal school at Lee
mars in 1886. Since that time he has
devoted his time wholly to school work.
He has held a high position in edu.
cational circles for a number OF years
and is looked upon by all parties as
being eminently fitted for the place,
II he desires to accept and the republi.
cans nominate him his friends in the
east half Of the county will stand b,
him irrespective OF party. He viii

that on the day after the battle Of

with a stone wall between the two
forces. The intervening space between

A Chinese Fiddler Who Prefers Gel
tic Melodies to Mclean Tunes.
Extensive as Is every San Francis
cans knowledge of the city's Chinatown
says the Call nowhere can be found a
citizen who had any recollection of hear
ing of a Chinese who played popular
airs on a violin with any sort of touch
that is suggestive of early training and
an ardent admiration for music. But
Lee Fong is just such a heather prodi-
gy, with history that is of exceeding
interest. They call him atom Flana-
gan,' for, strange to relate the boy has
a great liking for Irish airs and melo-
dies and plays them in preference to the
compositions Of German or American
composers. Tom came to California
about eight years ago. He first listened
to the playing of a violin at a theater
in Oakland. He liked "Melican mu-
sic," and often stood for hours at a
park or open air concert listening to a
brass band discourse popular airs. FL
nally the idea struck him that it would
be possible for him to learn to play the
fiddle, so straightaWay he hied him to
a second hand store where he purchased
a violin for Sc.
"Me no like China music" said he
with a contemplate sneer. 'Too much
dunn. dunn, too muchee squeak"
with the help of German, who jok-
ingly undertook to give Tom prelimin-
ary instruction in the productions of
harmonious sounds, the Chinese learned
to handle the bow with considerable
dexterity. His advance was rapid, and
in less than two years Tom could do
musical justice to any country hoedown
and inspire even a more elevated So
cial gathering with exhilaration when
he drew forth music out of the violin
strings.
-"Ilish music heep ively,' said Tom,
as he drew his finger along his violin s
bass string. You like me play for
your

The Story of Donzeu.

a little girl of eleven contributes tho
following story to an English paper:
once upon a time there was a. little
girl called Donzell, who lived in the
golden days of King Charles. She was
only sixteen, but she had been a wife
already, and was now widow.
Her boy husband had been hand-in-
glove with Ireton and Harrison. bnt
| Donzell was very loyal, and wore the
white rose in her dress, as long as the
White roses Powered around the porch
Of her home, the manor Of East-hv-
West
One day she was cutting herself some
Duds to wear, when her cousin, Roger
"altham came hastily to her in the
garden, telling her there was a Royal
ISL LAD IN sore distress and danger,
VINO had ridden from Frome to cast
himself on her mercy.
Il am no Royalist,'' he said. f1ount-
ingly, but I will not see the bow done
to death before my eyes. and I know
there are many secret holes in this old
rabDlt-Warren of thine See thou to
him now, Donzell"
And Donzell did. For weeks the cav
aller lay safely in the Priests Hole,
and then Donzell gave him her own
sorrel to ride to the coast, where he
might find boat whose skipper would
land him in a French port with no
questions asked.
After that Donzell heard no more of
him; but one day she got news that
her cousin Roger had been arrested by
the protector for "helping a malignant,
by name Charles Stuart and though
she rode in hot haste to Frome, where
Ireton lay, she was only in time to hear
the prisoner plead guilty and the ver-
dict of death in an hours time"
During that hour Donzell fought for
her cousins life as never girl fought
before, and before the hour struck had
signed away some of her lands to the
parliament, and Waltham was saved.
On their way back to East-by West
Roger begged Donzell to marry him:
but she knew it was only out of graft
tude, and she told him he should not
think of her, but Of Dorothea Randall,
who had loved him a long time
That night Donzell went for a long
row on the river that ran by the manor
SO long a row that to-day-three hun
dred years since-she has not come
back yet. Perhaps she has forgotten
Roger altogether, and sailed to Arcadia
to pay her devoirs to King Arthur and
G'inevere.
