us this the telegraph ofllceyr
Asked childish voice one day.
AS noted the click OF my instrument
With Its message from far away.
AS IL ceased, / turned at my elbow
stood the merest scrap OF boy,
Whose childish face was all aglow
With the light OF a hidden Joy.
The golden curls on his forehead
Shaded sweet eyes OF blue,
AS II II bit Of the summer sky
Had lost In them It's hue
They scanned my dingy office
From ceiling down to floor,
Then turned ON mine their eager gaze
AS he asked the question DER,
els this the telegraph office}n
"lt Is, my little man"
said. "Pray tell me what you want
I'll help you II can"
The blue eyes grew more eager
The breath came thick and fast,
And ! saw within the chubby hands
folded paper grasped
"Nurse told me that the lightning
Camo down the wires some day.
And my mamma's gone to heaven,
And I'm lonely all the day.
For my papa's very busy,
And hasn't much time for me.
So fought I'd write her letter
And I've brought it for you to see
I've printed II big so tho angels
Could rend out quick the name,
And carry = straight to my mamma,
And tell her how It came.
And now, WON'T you please to take 1t,
And frow 1t up good and strong
Against the wires in funder shower
So the lightning will take IL along?n
All, what could tell the darlingp
For my eyes were filling fast;
turned away TO hide the tears
But cheerfully said at last;
"l'll do the best can, my childn--
was all that I could say.
@Fank you" he said; then scanned tn
sky,
GDo you ink It will funder today"
But the blue sky smiled In answer,
And the sun shone dazzling bright,
And his face as he slowly turned away
Lost some Of its gladstone light
"But nursen he said, alf | stay so long,
Won't let me come any morei
So good by; I'll come and see you again,

MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. S.-A paper pub
lished near Forman, N. D., brings out
romantic incident in connection with
the nomination by the Republican
state convention of Miss Emma Bates,
Of Valley City, to be state superintend-
ent of schools. Miss Bates had charge
of her canvass for the nomination and
found formidable opposition in John
Devine and Professor J. H. Holland.
She was able to sidetrack the latter
by making herself solid with the young
mems Republican league. She then
entered into negotiations with Mr..
Devine, first demanding unconditional
surrender. This he refused. After
further negotiations it is said he agreed
to pull off the track provided that if
she was elected state superintendent
she would make him her deputy and
marry him in the bargain. After some
deliberation she agreed to do this pro-
vided he would stump the state for
her.
AS he is a powerful speaker with
abundant wit and repartee, Miss Bates
is conceded to have made the shrewdest
political deal vet known.

GRIFFIN'S CASE.
Held in One Case, DISCHARGED in
Another and the Third PendInp

Held in One Case, DISCHARGED in
Another and the Third Pending.
John J. Griffin was held bv Justice
Johnstone yesterday for $3.50 on a
charge of burglarizing Tribolet's meat
market last Saturday night.
His examination on charge of COM
mitting burglary at ] j. Casey's house
and stealing gold watch belonging to
Rolla Baker was begun but terminated
suddenly. Baker testified on the night
the watch was stolen he was sleeping
on cot outside the house. Soon after
midnight he got up and went to milk,
when he returned the watch was gone.
District Attorney Williams soon lost
interest in the watch and began to
evince curiosity about the interior Of
Mr.. Casey's residence.
"No you DON'T" broke in Attorney
Ainsworth for the defense; this Is no
fishing excursion" The district attor-
ney admitted that the testimony OF the
prosecuting witness destroyed the bur-
glary theory and he began drawing up
complaint charging Griffin with grand
larceny. This was afterward abandoned
but still Griffin's troubles were not
over.
There was another charge of burglary
against him. Casey's house was again
the alleged point of attack and a silver
watch was the result of the foray. This
watch belonged to J j. Collins and who.
ever stole it took it from within the
house. The watch was found in the
possession of Griffin and was readily
identified by witnesses as the one
stolen. At this point the case was ad
journed until this morning.

PARIS, Aug. 8.-The Matin today
publishes a long article on the rela-
tions of the European powers to China
Japan and Corea. The editor is most
apprehensive of covert attempt at
overreaching on the part of Great
Britain, advising France to remain
neutral as long as possible.
1t says: "However if any power ex-
cept China and Japan seek to gain an
advantage in Corea, France must hold
in reserve the right to act so as to take
a similar advantage for herself. 1t
would be necessary also to readjust the
balance of power IN case it should be
destroyed by Great Britain occupying
Port Hamilton or Russia occupying
Port Lazareff."

WILLING TO help JAPAN

TENDERS or SERVICE FLOWING IN
Such Aid Cannot Be Accepted, and II Is

Serve In Such a Cause.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Several hun
dred letters containing tenders of service
to the Japanese government in the pres
ent wal with China have reached
tbs legation here. They come from
nearly every part of the United States
One Of the latest was from an ex-confed-
crate at Greenville. Miss, Offering to
raise a battalion, and even regiment, OF
men II desired at that place aud New
Orleans; another was from the Foreign
Legion OF Cleveland, o.; a third came
from an individual who WAS willing 10
raise com any Of picked sharp shooters,
and the fonrth WAS from person who
had some torpedo device he was willing
TO part with for consideration. Such
communications az the last mentioned
are turned over to the naval attache Of
the legation to do with AS he deems best.
To the others the legation officials return
polite destinations. II ia a penal offense
for Americans to serve either in the
Chinese OF Japanese eerv,ce while the
two nations are at war, so that the latter
government cannot under any circum
stances accept the offers.
