Pleasures on tho Farm.
Oh, it's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant, new-mown hay,
To roll and romp and tumble,
And to while the time away,
What a JOY to lie and slumber,
Innocent Of worldly care,
On the clover in the haymow,
When some others put it there.
What a joy, when one is thirsty,
Ere as yet tits time to sup,
To consume the sweet ambrosia
That the cows have yielded up
To drink out Of the milkpail,
While you poise it in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What a Joy it is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm;
All, the very air seems freighted
With mystic sort Of charm;
Round and over all a dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems to Turk
That is, if you do the dreaming,
While some others do the work.

4 Sad Incident.

Esther Walthcr, the two-ycar-old
daughter of John and Maggie Walther,
Of 1907 Benton street, ST. Louis, was
killed while at play in the yard in the
rear of the Walthcr home. The little
one and her two brothers. Oscar and
Oliver, who are four or five years older
than she, were playing hide-und- seek,
and Esther got into n large bath tub
which was standing on one end in one
corner of the yard. There she remained
for several minutes while one of her
brothers was seeking her. When he
finally found her hiding place he
started for goal, and the little
girl tried to follow, but as
size stepped out the huge frame
of wood and zinc tumbled over and
caught her. An elder sister lifted the
heavy tub from the child and carried
her into the house. DR.. Schnde was
sent for, and responded ut once, but
when he reached the house he found
the little one was dead. Death, he said,
had been instantaneous, rs the child's
skull had been fractured and it's neck
broken.

ENGLAND'S CHINESE POLICY.
An Unconfrmed Report that Lord Sails

Pain of Resignation.

leaving for France, informed her una j.
esty the queen, that in the present
critical state of the relations with
Russia he must resign unless her fire.
quently expressed veto upon the
prosecution of diplomacy to the point
of war during her lifetime was with
drawn and he was given an absolutely
free hand, and that thereupon the
ministry made definite proposals to
Russia, which, in effect, amounted to
an ultimatum, is an elaboration of the
current gossip of the clubs and the SEN
sational weeklies, and is obviously i'm
possible of confirmation or denial Cir
cumstantial evidence all goes to dis
prove the statements.
Lord Salisbury has been spending
his vacation since parliament adj
journed in France. Sir Thomas Henry
Sanderson, permanent under secretary
Of state for foreign affairs, and other
most important officials of the foreign
Office, and likewise the Russian am-
bassador to Great Britain, NJ. DE
Staal, have been on the continent for
a long time. Apparently there are no
important negotiations afoot.
England abandoned the open-doOr
policy because Russia closed the door
in her face, rs has been pointed out.
and retreated to the policy of spheres
of influence, because it is necessary to
appear to have some Chinese policy.
Two British ships were withdrawn
from Chinese waters yesterday.
