One stitch and then another,
And the longest tear is mended."

Tell me some more of the Titles,

Some time ago saw little snow
flake in the air. Then the boys and
girls clapped their hands and said:
Now we shall have coasting!' Could
they coast on that one flake?"
How funny you are, mamma! They
kept coming and coming, millions and
millions Of them, until everything was
covered with white. And then the
snow grew deep, there were so
many"
I'm the spring, after old Jack Frost
had been having his own way all
through the winter, the ground was
bare. We wanted to see it green, and
then came blade of grass"
"A blade of grass, mamma! Why,
they covered all the ground.
There were trees and bushes, too.
They couldn't get along with one leaf,
could they?"
ooh, no; God gave them beautiful
leaves, millions of them. And it makes
the pleasant shade for us to play and
sit in"

You know whose it was.

Plenty more, my child. Our lives
are made up Of days, and the days are
made up of little minutes. Our Father
makes up many of His great things or
little things as you see, and He has or

much in any one day at school, but
d Hst learn one little lesson at a time

leeds, little faithful, willing services
for the dear Savior's sake"
Mamma went away and Elsie kept on

MAJ GIN. BROOKE
Conference Several Hours Yesterday With
 Secretary Alger.

Washington, July 16.--Major General Brooke was in conference several times today with Secretary Alger The two went over to the white house where ques- tions relating presumably to the proposed Porto Rico expedition were discussed Sec retary Alger and General Brooke declined to make any statement regarding the in teryiews.
 In other quarters, however, there are evidences indicataing activity in the di- rection of a prompt forward movement.
 Major General Wilson, now at Charles ton with a brigade of soldiers, has ex- pressed the opinion that that place offers the best harbor facilities for authorization between there and New Orleans.
 General Wilson has despatched an officer to Newport News to look into the question of shipping facilities, harbor, camp grounds and water supply at that place which seems to indicatae that the department Is consid- ering the question of sending some troops there for authorization.

INTERESTING QUESTION OF LAW
Raised in Inferior Criminal Court-Right o
 City to Require licence.


 An interesting question of law involving the right of the city to charge license to {, foreign firm doing work in the city was raised in the inferior criminal court yes terday in the case of the city vs. Robert Reynolds. e-s-s- ., -4s.
 Reynolds is employed by Falvy, Wilson & Co.,, of New Orleans, who secured the contract to furnish gas and electrical fixtures for the handsome new residence of Major E. M Tutwiler, corner Park avenue and Twenty-first street. Reynolds was sent here to do the work and was arrested by City Tax Collector Gambill for failure to take out electricians license of $1OO.
 The question in the case is whether or not the installation of the fixtures is such an engaging in the business of an cleo trician as would render defendant liable for license.
 Tax Collector Gambill was represented by J. l.. Meade, and M. M. Ullman appear ed for the defense., After, hearing the evil dence Judge Feagin took the case under advisement and will render his decision to- morrow.

WITH THE TROOPS
 AT CHICKAMAUGA
The Soldiers Quite Active in Their Work, Notwithstanding
 the Terrific Heat.

Chickamauga National Park, July 16.- The maximum temperature at Camp Thomas today was 9S degrees This was considerably above the average, but the soldiers were. quite active in their work notwithstanding the heat.
 The latest news from Washington has had the effect of greatly enthusing the men and there is not a regiment in camp that does not rejoice at the prospect of going to Porto Rico
 The First corps is especially hopeful of an early order to go with General Brooke
 There is naturally some fear in the corps, however, because of the irregularities in making up expeditienary forces hereto fore and it iss not all improbable that the regiments of th< third corps will be trans ferred to the firN and vice versa in mak- ing up the invading army for Porto Rico.
 Rush orders were sent a fw days ago for all the equippage lacking in this corps and it will now undoubtedly be supplied with everything necessary by the time arrangements can be completed for trans- ports. Four car loads of general equip ments. arrived from Rock Island arsenal today having been hurried through by ex- press,

-lt . tl .'.a,aA.- DEATH OF LIEUT..
 JOHN J. BLANDIN Result, of Shock Received When Maine Was Blown Up. WAS OFFICER OF THE WATCH -. .a-s s5; At the Time of the Disaster-9rought on Ner- yous Disorder We'll Known in Alabama, and Visited Relatives in Selma and
 Birmingham Few Month Since.
WAS OFFICER OF THE WATCH

Baltimore, July e-Lieu enant John J. Blandin, who was officer of the deck on the night that the United States battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor, died at noon today in the Shepherd-Pratt hospital in this city. His death was the result of meningitis brought on by the shock received when the Maine was de- stroyed.
 Lieutenant Blandin, after giving his tes- tmony before the board of inquiry at Key West, was assigned to duty at the United States Photographic office in this city His wife and two sons lived here, and. it was thought that the change in the character of his duties would result in restoring his nervous system. This did not prove to be the case, however, and from the day of his return to his home in this city his freinds noticed a. marked change in his demeanor. He seemed utterly unable to dismiss from his mind the horrors of the fatal night which saw the destruction of the battleship and the destruction of |. so many of his comrades, and on July l he broke down under the strain and was re- moved to the hospital. In the delirium which quickly followed he reverted con- tinually to the incidents occurring with the destruction of the battleship and fancied himself again on deck issuing orders and aiding in the rescue of his shipmates. His wife was with him constantly, but for the past week he has been unable to recog- nze her. It was hoped until the other day that he might recover but his illness took an unfavorable turn, and last night his physicians gave up hope.
 Lieutenant Blandin, whose death is chronicled in the above dispatch is well known in Alabama. having been reared in Selma, where many of his relatives reside.

Report That SiO,oOO,OoO in Dust is on the
 Way From the kIondlke.

Victoria. B. C., July 16.-A further con trfbuton of s25O,OOO in gold and drafts to swell the Klondike treasure receipts has arrived here on the City of Seattle, five hours behind the Cottage City. The for tunate winners on board were Ed Levin, a four years resident of the Klondile; F. A. Raney, Captain Holmes, George Holems, Devine and Habernal, of Seattle, and ten others.
 Raney. as spokesman of the party, says $10,000, coo in dust is outbound by the lower river boats, while a party of which he is a member brought a quarter of a ton ef nuggets and dust with them. It is antici- pated that all the larger river boats will have trouble in crossing the Yukon flats, as the river is lower than usual at this sea- son of the year, and this will naturally augment the traffic by the upper river, even though the Skaguay-Bennet railway cannot be completed this season.

There has been ne fall for renewal of the supply of armor piercers, as Admiral Smapson's fleet seems to have used very few of them thus far, confiining their work to the big ex- plosive shells. The latter. although not made for armor piercing, are tested by the navy department to pass through four inches of solid steel, not exploding until through the steel They have done such execution that Admiral Sampson has re- served almost his entire stock of armor piercing shells.
 The navy department will not set time for the departure of Watson's squadron, but with the delivery of the Yankees sup ply of ammunition very few days will be lost before this formidable squadron will be headed for Spain.

Congressional Situation.

The Congressional situation in
Blount County at present is just
this: Bl0unt is ov rwhelmlngly in
favor of Gen. F. d. Owings and
hundreds Of our citizens have de-
mandrd that he become candi-
date. They feel that he is the only
man who can unite the factions
among the anti Gibson forces. IL
"Dock" runs he will not lose 800
votes ia the county, even if all Of
the other candidates stay on the
track This is the plain truth as
we see it, this week Of court, when
so many people are here from diff
ferent parts of the county. We
never saw anything so unanimous
and we think Mr. Owings owes it
to his friends TO say whether or not
he will become a candidate. We
do not say this because we are
prpjudiced against any Of the other
men, but because it is fact.
