MiSchievous Rnccoons at school.

Joe Mitchell was fishing out on Sequali-
chew creek, near the Huggins boys ranch,
on April J. says the Payallup Commerce,
and tells this truthful tale:
Il saw the counterpart Of boys school
/ was sitting on log when there came
pacing down a little path an old mother
coon with five young ones. The little fell
lows were about as large rs half-grOWn
cats. and were about as full of fun as a
basket of moneys.
III ever there was hard-worked teach
err it was that poor mother coon. She tried
to teach the little imps how to catch
and eat a craWdsh. When the old lady
got the little fellows in line at the water 5
edge she sedately walked to a rock and
gravely reached down into a hole ana
ceeded to wash it, but just as she was
about to eat it one little coon broke rank
and stole the crawfish.
This started a row. and all the little
fellows were badly mixed, while the old
one was administering bites and cuffs
finally succeeded in restoring order. and
then sent one of the little cOons to try
it in another hole.
Then the fun began in earnest, and all
the mischievous boys that ever made a
teachers heart ache We're angels of good
ness when compared with these little
coons. They pinched each others tails,
nipped each others ears, bit each others
legs, and worried the old mother until
she turned to and gave them a general
cutting all around.
ut seemed to me that each little coon
knew his lesson perfectly. and was de-
termined to get all the fun possible out
of the proceedings, for when the good
mother coon got so angry that she made
her bites felt. the little fellows got down
ate their crawfish with all the ability of
veterans"

Great Britain in the Caribbean.


! It does not appear that Great Britain
/ has asked Nicaragua to cede TO her Corn
Island. on the Nicaraguan coast. as an
I equivalent for her claim for indemnity:
yet our dispatches OF yesterday said the
I question OF such cesslon had been dis
[ cussed in a Nicaraguan cabinet meeting
The supposition is that Great Britain
wishes to get possession Of Corn Island in
order 10 establish herself in a position
to command the mouth OF the projected
Nicaragua canal. 1t may be doubted. how
ever. that Great Britain would set up a
strong naval station on Corn Island II
she should come into possession Of the
island. Why should she? She is already
established IN the Caribbean. and in po-
sition from which she could come about
as near commanding the mouth Of the ca
nal as II she had Corn Island. To the
northeast OF Nicaragua she has posses
sions at Jamaica and Bermuda. and to
the southeast possessions at British Gut
ana. She has also British Honduras.

bean coast within days sail of Grey

At Kingston and Bermuda there are
great naval repair stations. dry docks and
coaling and supply stations. The harbor

guard the harbors and the anchorages are
practically impregnable to an attacking
fleet. The forts mount some Of the heavi-
est guns known. and even at present i'm

to the defensive works at Jamaica.
From these stations. already held and

to the mouth Of the canal a feet quite
as powerful as any that could be sent
from Corn Island: and they could probably
be coaled and provisioned at Jamaica, Ber-
muda, Honduras and Guiana more read
lily and safely in time of war than at Corn
Island. Another consideration that makes
the establishment of a British naval sta
ton at Corn Island improbable is the
friendly relations that exist between Great
Britain and this government. Great Brit
ain cannot wish to break those relations.
Having already all the naval stations in
the Caribbean that there is actual need
for, Great Britain would hardly. care to
arouse this governments suspicious by
creating another station stnI nearer the
American coast, which would be only a
convenience and not necessity in case of
a dispute about the canal
It would seem that Great Britain al

The Ruiing Passion.

The romantic young clerk in the dry

"Oh, Mr.. Gingham, she replied, 81 am

going to say these things to me I should

The dignitary Of the church was. how
