one Day with the Children.

One Lay with the Ch1ldreus
Big girl opened her dark eyes and
raised her head, for her usual morning
look at the weather land then with a
cry Of delight cried:-
wake up sister, our beautiful day
has come, and guess mamma has got
| breakfast most ready, for I smell pam
cakes, and baby is up. Les hurry and
dress and help her all we can so she'll
get thro' quick
Then such a hurry to get their
clothes on, each one trying
to get ready to use the buttonhook
first; for these are not ''brain child
ren" nor paper Children but real girls
who use their buttonhooks for fish
hoks or wellpoles or shepherds crooks
or, well, anything Consequently have
TO borrow grandma's Oftner than Occa-
sionally
And what manner Of day has caused
such joyful anticipation?
A beautiful June day, just ready for
picnic? An early winter day, lust
right for the first SNOWFALL fight? A
frosty winter morning when there is
such crust on the snow that they can
coast anywhere over the fields?
None Of these! A dreary spring day.
Rain falling in torrents and the snow
disappearing and bringing to view all
the dark dismal objects which have
been out Of sight so long.
The chickens run about looking like
well, like a "wet hen.'' The cat
creeps in leaving a. row of muddy
tracks behind on the already damp
hoor, but mamma takes time to kiss
the little faces and say "ho,ho, now
We'll have fun
Poor tired mother, her head aches,
and she feels that she can never endure
the long, dreary spring rains, but she
must keep a bright exterior for the
children's sakes.
She longs to give them so much and
can give them so little. Big girl loves
pretty things and 'believes she will
be an artist and paint all the beautiful
things in the world Little girl loves
music and wants to know how to
make it." She don't know what baby
loves, but has an idea she will want
to rival Mrs. ROrer," for she has to
have her finger in every pie that is
made.
And mother knows all these things
have to be gained by long years Of
study and travel, and-but we will not
follow her train Of thoughts; for it al
ways ends like this !,
I don't know where they may wan
der, nor. what the future may bring,
but Lord help me to give them happy
childhood. Only give me strength to
live one day at a time.
And why is this to be a beautiful
day?

~ #1he latest conception Of the inventive
genluses who cater to the requirements

Ihe novelty is intended to take the
place of buggies and carriages and is
designed to be Of service at all seasons

The tires are four inches in diane

Prepared for PickDOckets

One experience of the attentions of a
pickpocket is enough for most men,
but certain young electrician, who de-
scribes in an English electrical journal
how he was deprived of a much-prized
500 rfpinthrough the Establishments
of Il sweet-voiced, pretty though light
fingered maiden, is understood to be
willing to lose a weeks salary if some
enterprising thief would only TRY it on
again. He was stepping on the plat
form from railway car, and the old,
old story-the comely young woman
embraced him rapturously, exclatming,
"My dearest Charlie, you are heret'
His name was not Charlie, but he was
the dead image of her dearest brother
Of that name, hence the mistake. When
he presently realized that his pin was
gone the desire for revenge was strong
within him. He arranged small con-
tact for the successor to the lost scarf
pin, bought a tiny electric bell, and
made double pocket accumulation. He
is now ready for all emergencies. If
the fair lady again mistakes him for
her brother the tinkling Of the tiny
pocket bell will be the signal for fra
ternal hug which will last until the po-
Hceman arrives. A contact is made for
his watch, any attempt to disturb
which starts the ten-tale. The third
item of his comprehensive electrical
outfit is small incandescent lamp
concealed in an artificial flower pinned
to his coat. This lamp is for pleasure
rather that for business. 1t can be
turned on at the theater during the
performance when the lights are turned
down and a look at the programme is
desired. The plant is completed by
a fine platinum coil placed in a cavity
made Of asbestos, by means Of which

somewhat questionable statement:

FrighteninE a Tiger.

A man riding on horseback across the
country in India came suddenly upon
tiger, which crouched as if to spring.
The horse started to turn, but as that
would only have invited attack, the
man gave him dig with the spurs.
This caused the horse to rear, and the
tiger at once turned tail and ran away.
Mr.. Elliot, who tells the foregoing
story, tells also another. A friend of
his had gone out after the days work,
carrying a book and a gun, and seated
himself in the tall grass Of hillside,
hoping to get a sambur deer. All at
once he heard something approaching,
and saw a large tiger come into view
at very short range.
The tiger crouched, and the man was
afraid to raise his gun, as the beast
would probably spring upon him be-
fore he could be ready to fire. Tiger
and man looked at each other in si-
lence.
The man had heard Of the effect of
the human eye, and threw into his look
the fiercest expression he could COM
mand: but the tiger returned it with
interest. -
Then the man bethought himself to
try the effect of the human voice.
Gathering himself together, he let out
the most awful yell he could muster.
The tiger rose to his legs and turned
half round. The man, greatly encour-
aged, uttered another yell, and the
beast disappeared in the grass.

CAPITAL PERTURBED.
Rumors and Counter Reports Keep the
City in Constant FurHe.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Although re-
ports have been current that the White
House guards had been reinforced Presi-
dent aud Mrs Cleveland were seen driving
through tie principal streets of the city in
an open Carriage with only the colored
driver on the box. A local afternoon
paper printed n story that a special guard
was on duty each night outside the presi-
dents door. but the report is not true.
The White House grounds and house will
be well guarded aud close watch will
be kept for suspicious characters. but
President Cleveland is decidedly averse to
being kept under guard, as it were, and
moreover, the ordinary arrangements for
guarding the White House when crowds
are here are considered sufficient.
4 matter which gives the president more
coucera was the permission local real es-
tate dealer gave Co1ey TO encamp In
Woodiey park, which adJ0ins the preSi-

sp.cial Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. r., April 25-Ihe
axe which Judge Henry w. Scott las
been holding over Burke and Bro"h'
editors of the Daily Times ournai, ior
two months has fallen at last ana tney
have been sentenced to $3.50 fine and ten
davs in Jail and are now in the county
bastile serving out their time. The lnols-
,a.iop of the citizens and denunciation
of Scott's action is heard on every side.
Over one thousand of the best and most
nrominent citizens of the city have called
at the Jail this afternoon to express their
sympathy with the victims OF the
brutal Judge and an indignation
meeting is talked of. The scene In the
court room at the time OF the sentence was
dramatic. Scott had prepared long and
lahored explanation of his position and he
read ir in his most impressive manner,
dwelling on the enormity of the offense
and its danger TO the community. 1t took
over An hour and a half to deliver the SER
mon. and towards the close he paused and
asked if the defendants had any apology
to offer.
MIR. Brown said: 81 have no apology to
offer / want to say, however, that the
article complained of was written and
printed in Mr. Burke's absence and be Is
wholly free from blame in the matter"
Mr.. Burke said: 81 am one of the editors
of the Times Journal and endorse all it
has said, and am ready to take my medi-
cine with my partner. l have no apology
10 offer"
The sentence was then pronounced and
an appeal refused, although the defend
ants had $1,000 bond prepared and could
have easily given "A 5000 bond. 1t IS prob
ible a writ OF babeas corpus will be APP
piled for through Judge Dale or some
other Judge of the supreme court.
The offense complained OF was contempt
of court. the Times-Journal having
charged in it's columns that Scott WAS
with holding and suppressing grand jury
report. Later it commented very severely
on the courts action i'll the McMaster case
and were leading spirits in the editorial
meeting ON Monday which passed resolu-
tious condemning Scott.
The fight is on and it looks as If it would
be fought To the bitter end.

ON THE QUI WYE.

HELENA, Mont. April 25.-At II o'clock
the Butte contingent Of Coxey's army was
thirty miles west of Fort keogh, and indi-
cations now are that they will meet with a
very warm reception at Fort keogh, pre-
vided they make any resistance. Colonel
Page, in command, has issued strict orders
to have every man at his post, and even
the Indian company is prepared TO take an
active part. The impression here is that
an attempt will be made to run past Fort
Keogh at some late hour in the night, but
Colonel Page, with the assistance of Off
GERS. is prepared for this, and Hogan will
never pass keogh.
