THE LAST PARADE.

They were days to he remembered,
When at sound Of trumpet call,
Young recruits, we left the village
Bent on glory one and ALL
And the music round US flashing
Made US feel that evermore
Our lives were worth the living
As they never were before.
/ remembered the day
When we rode all away
To the dreams that the music madet
And our hopes, one and all,
When the old trumpet call
Rang out clear for our first parade.
1t was glorious while it lasted,
But the years went by too soon.
Youth should stay little longer
When lads bold dragon.
Then, like shadows from us drifting,
Comrades fell in foreign land.
Home asainl The roll call found us
But u bspkep little band.
As we rode down the street
To the old measured beat
1t was tears that the music made,
And it seemed like prayer
For the lads who would ne'er
Stand again by our side on parade.
But the marching days are over.
Veterans now at ease we stand
Till the order comes for marching
To the last and restful land.
Only when the troops are passing
Our ninety years we all forget.
And the old familiar music
Makes us feel we're soldiers yet.
And we're young once again
AS We bark to the strain
Till the sounds in the distance fade.
SO we wait, one and all.
For the last trumpet call
That shall sound for the last parade.

A Woman Who Tried to Read q Novel In

with complexion the shade of ap-

are unaccustomed to the wonderland
of large city. She took Turkish
bath the other day, and this is the
way she describes that interesting
adventures:

NEW MAR LODGE.
The Beautiful Eeme of the Flies on the
River Dee.

The Beautiful Eome of the Flies on the
River Dee.
Mar Lodge-or New Mar Lodge, to
give it its proper title--was situated
on the south bank of the Dee, about
three miles above Castletown, Aber-
deenshire. Originally it was small
stone house known as Corriemulzie
cottage, with garrets for bedrooms,
and was used by members of the
Fife family as shooting box. When
the present duke came into the prop.
erty in 1879, Old Mar Lodge was
then let, and so he had to content
himself with the smaller of the two
places. To procure the necessary ao-
commodation he had to make addi-
tions, and these additions have gone
Oh until Mar Lodge became almost
in itself a small village. A drawing
room was added on the west; then
extra bedrooms, with fine billiard
room, grew up, also on the west.
These last were thrown back q little,
leaving an open space for carriages
to arrive in front of tho principal
entrance. A small chapel was built
behind and above the lodge. On the
same level a ballroom was put up.
This was constructed Of wood and
was very handsome on the inside,
being decorated with large number
of stays heads. The entrance hall
and dining room were also recon.
structed.
The grounds around the lodge are
very beautiful The hill behind
slopes down to the Dee and is cover
cd with pine, birch and mountain
ash. Peeps up and down the valley
may be had, with the granite noun
tains often hidden or partially so in
mist. The fall Of Corriemulzie, al
though open to the public, may be
said to be within the grounds of the
house. 1t is very charming cas-
oade, which splits in two streams
and falls a considerable depth into q
deep glen, where tho steep gray rock
is covered with luxuriant foliage
and q wealth of wild flowers.
About quarter of mile higher
up tho Dee valley above New Mar
Lodge is the Victoria bridge, wood
en- structure, with an iron arch over
the roadway at the southern end, on
which is the word Victoria" on one
side and "1S4S" on the other, that
being the year in which the bridge
was built.
After crossing the bridge there is
a wide park or "strath, and close
under the pine covered hill on the
north side is the picturesque group
of ruins known as Old Mar Lodge
When this house was erected no
one seems to know, but it may be
assumed to be about a century old
It is here every year that the Brae-
mar gathering is held. All the men
on the Fife estates, attired in their
clan tartan, then turn out to take
part in the highland games. The
duke is always present clad in the
kilt and usually entertains in prince
ly style the royal and other leading
visitors.
The Flies are not shelterless.
Among other residences besides
their own house at Is Portman
square, west, London, they may
choose between Duff House, Balvenie
castle and Auchintoul, in Banffshire;
Inness House, Moray; Coriston, For
farshire; Delgoty castle, Skene. Alb.

IT RAINED EVERYWHERE.
Heavy DOWnpOur in OkIahOma, Kansas
and An Over Nebraska.

and All Over Nebraska.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June 1.-The rain
Sunday night was a veritahle water
spout over much of the country and the
greatest part of the territory. At Cres-
cent City it was almost g waterspOut. and
within an hour many streams were out
of their banks and bridges were swept
away.
At Orlando, in the northern part of
the county, the dwellings of NJ. Hurle-
mau and John Dulaney were struck by
lightning and badly damaged. Fifteen
persons were in the formers house and
were badly shocked, but all recovered.
Reports from Saltwater, Perkins. Chand-
Ter and other points east and west say
that from two to five inches of water fell.
This insures good corn and grass for
the majority of farmers and everybody
feels encouraged.
OMAHA, June 1.-Two inches of rain
have covered the entire state in the past
48 hours Fields of grain which had
been abandoned as ruined have revived
and will in most cases make full crop.
Rivers and irrigating bitches are run
ming full and crops can be made without
further rain during June.
HAYS CITY, Kan, June 11.-One and
three quarters inches of rain fell here
last night The prospects for some wheat
are better. The spring crops are all
right.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Jnne IL
Heavy rain this morning and added to
Sundays downpour, has thoroughly
soaked the ground Farmers say the
ground is wet further down than. for two
years and prospects for corn are very
bright.
EMPoRIA, Kan. June 11-Another
heavy rainfall in this section this morn
ing The NeOsho river is on a boom.
LARNED, Kan, June 11.-This section
was visited by a copious rainfall this
morning, the fourth inside of ten days.
Wheat which was supposed to be an en-
tire failure promises at least one third
of the average yield in the county, while
spring crops are in splendid condition.
KANSAS CITY, June IA special to
the Star from Wichita says: There was
a good rain over Sedgwick county this
morning Wheat harvest is in progress
and the yield is more satisfactory than
was expected. The grain is we'll filled
and solid Much of the wheat is being
headed. The oats crop will be fair
Corn is very fine.
Floods in Europe.
PAU, June 1.-The floods continue
throughout Navarro and the lowlands of
the Pyrenees. Severe suffering as a re-
suit of the floods is reported from the
Basque country. Roads, bridges and
railways have been swept away and
fields have been destroyed by the rush of
water from the hills.

money is ready to build the lower dam,
and l believe it will be built 1t is a
fact that the upper company has no
and l do not see how they can do any
thing. 1t can be shown bv the records that
a charter was never granted by congress
ceeded. When the other company was
organized it was chartered under the
laws of Colorado, but when they got
their act of congress it was for a Kansas
corporation"
Clearing OF Trees
Ex- Street Commissioner Naylor is
experimenting the work on the proposed
site of the lower dam and the men are
now at work scraping and clearing off
the trees
If the council decides that work was
commenced in good faith the company
has year in which to commence the
real work, and if they continue there
will be no question of good faith.
There is contract with the city for
600 horse power at $40 per horse
power. and this will be in full
force if the work is con-
tinued. This would mean that the com
pany would receive a yearly income of
$4,000 from the city and that would
pay a fair rate of interest on 100000.
1t can not be long until the doubt must
be removed about the work, for if the
company continues to spend money on
the dam it is good evidence that they in
tend to build it. for they could not afford
to keep 40 or so men at work very long
merely as a "blum"
