For all the boys had fled
Ana all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot, where they used to meet
Was a sight to make one blue
The grass was growing on every base.
And the paths that the runners made
For there wasn't a soul in all that place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong day
For why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep
The pony neighed from his lonely stall
And 1onced for saddle and rein;
Ind even the BIRDS on the garden wall
Chirped only a duh refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
md nobody had a single taste,
Save only The birds and bees.
There wasn't a messenger boy-not one
To speed as such messengers can;
If people wanted their errands done,
They sent for the messenger man.

NEW GUNS FOR GUARDS.
Effort Being Made to Secure Late In
ventions for Colorado.

Denver Aug. 22.-It is very probable
that within a few months the national
guard of Colorado will be equipped with
arms vastly superior to the old Spring
field rifles, which members of the First
Colorado volunteers used so valiantly
at Malate few days ago. The chief
objection to the Springfield rifle is not
that it is not a formidable and reliable
weapon. but that smOkeless powder,
the advantage of which was demon
strated at Santiago, can not be used
in the Springfelds. 1t is the ambition
of the adjutant general to equip the
Colorado boys with a weapon much
more modern.
For that purpose he has been in COM
munication with the Winchester Re
peating Arms company of New Haven,
for the purpose of securing a sample of
their latest product. One of these guns
has been already shipped and is daily
expected at the state house This gun
was presented in competition with the
g-Jorgenson rifle in 1892, when the
army board accepted the latter. Many
experts however, still believe that the
Winchester is superior to the Krag-
Jorgenson today.
If the tests of the new gun are salts
factory Adjutant General Barnum will
recommend it's adoption by the militia
of Colorado. The state has require
ments for fully 400 such rifles. The
new Winchester shoots the same cali
Der bullet as the Krag-Jorgenson and
permits the usage of smOkeless powder

LEADING LAPY AT EMPIRE.
Miss Jessie Millward Ready For Her
New Duties.

New York, Aug. 22.-NIiss Jessie Mill
ward arrived here yesterday from Eng
land on the Germanic. She came to
take the place of leading woman of the
Empire Theater company which was
left vacant by the withdrawal of Miss
Viola Allen. Miss Millward said yes
terday that she was looking forward
to her season here with much pleasure.
She did not know, she said, whether
she should remain here longer than for
one winter or not. Her contract was
for that time only. If the Empire COM
pany went to London next summer she
would go with it, and if it did not go
she should return to England anyway.
Whether she returned or not remained
to be determined.
Miss Nillward will go to Chicago in a
few days, where the company will begin
it's annual tour. The season in New
York will open probably with ''PhrOsO,"
the stage version of Anthony Hopes
novel of the same name. in which she
will play the title part. Miss Mill
ward has played here several times be-
fore She accompanied Henry Irving
on his first visit here, and she came as
a star with William Terriss in
Roger la HOnte," in 1889. playing at
NfblO's garden, under the mana GENE nt
of Augustin Daily, and in other cities. Her
last visit was four years ago, when she
again came with Irving and played
in Beckett at the opening of Abbey's
theater now the KnickerbOcker.
