The trend of events in the east would
seem to indicate that Russia desired the
friendship of France merely for financial
reasons, and that their recent and much
lauded alliance was nothing more than a
shrewd business movement on the part of
the cars government. Russia desired to
secure large sum of money; France had
the money; Russia made overtures of
friendship, and the gratiled and enthusi-
astic Parisians were ready to open tho
doors of their vaults. Now hitch in the
financial arrangement having occurred

ernments.

Three Trout. 30 pounds.

When Mr.. George caught his big
trout of week ago Wednesday.
weighing 10l pounds. everybody who
hadn I actually looked at the striped
fellow were just a little inclined to
smile indulgently at the mention of
his weight. And those who had seen
him, had felt of his teeth and measur-
ed his surprising girth, went away
fully convinced that the ultima thule Of
trouting possibilities in the Kinnic-
kinnic had at length been reached.
There was no use fishing for anything
bigger; it wasn't to be had. Even if
il was, 'twould hardly be safe TO 20
boating any more, let alone going in
swimming. And when in a few days
Mr.. George had hooked another whup-
per and dragged him out of his watery
element into ethereal moonlight.
these good people were confirmed in
their opinion, for behold, the puny
thing weighed only an even eight
pounds. Yet even the conservative
judgment or these sane critics was
still to receive shock, and that right
speedily. For on Monday evening in
the quiet companionship Of DR.. Toby
and DIR. Parker, both clever fishermen.
Mr. George frightened his line Il trifle,
drew back step into his garden, and
sententiously enough, that
he had one, thank you, the father of
the flock. And as lie lay in the ice
chest the next day, weighing u!
pounds and measuring % inches in
length and l94 inches in girth, the
father of the flock" looked as fine a
specimen of a rainbow as one would
care to see, and a thoroughly fine
fellow for the banner trout of the
Kinnickinnic.

In Clover.

little maid in clover walked,
And from her fragrant pathway talked
To birds and butterflies that sped
Quite uuafraid above her head.
Tho ardent sun der brow assailed.
Her ttCant hat behind her trailed;
And as they uvut beneath the breeze
The purple blossoms kissed her knees.
And all the warblerS in the wild
Were blithely singing TO the child,
Who flung them, as she passed along,
A peal Of laughter for their song.
And golden hummlng- birds that few
Amongst the blossoms in the dew
Would poiSe themselves in air and pause
To beat their wing, in mute applause.
And o uncCnsciO rs little aid,
Now running barefoot in the glade,
Nav neither bIqnible- bush or thorn
Fer bring your innocence to scorn
But when your hair shall brOwner grow,
And all in stately gowns you go,
Oh, may you enter Aiden'S door
And live in clover eyermOre
