New York, June "A Washington spe-
cial to a morning paper says that Otis has
been cabled definitely to suspend hosiili-
ties during the rainy season and to make
preparations for decisive blow as soon
as dry weather again sets in.
The administration is represented as
having made up its mind that Aguinaldo
does not intend to surrender and that it
would be waste of money and men to
attempt to fight the natives at this season

other hand, the more conservative element
points out that the rainy season has al
ready commenced in the Philippines and
that II would be a waste of men and re-
sources to throw large body of men
into the islands at the beginning OF the
sickly months and to have them camped
in barracks until they could come-out in

! Advices from Professor Schurman OF
the Philippine commission have been uni
formly optimistic. and it is understood that
further sdvices OF the same tenor were re-
ceived today. This was also borne out by
the press dispatches, which spoke OF gem

the friendly native people.

THRE EE SONGS.

A poet in the rosy prime
And blithe and dewy morn of time,
When song was natural as breath.
Three songs sent forth to fight with
death.
And one he made to please the crowd,
1t pleased them, and his praise was loud
1t pleased them greatly for day,
Aud then its music died away.
And one he made to please the few.
II lived century or two;
Twas sung within the halls of kings.
Then vanished with forgotten things.
And one he made to please himself,
Without thought of fame or pelf,
But sent it forth with doubt and fears.
and il outlasted all the years.
No other song has vital breath
Through endless time to fight with death
Than that the singer sings apart
t. please his solitary heart.

VERY sMfRT HORSES.

''Big Jack" is not the only in
telligent New York horse that Mrs.
Gabrielle Il. Jackson tells about in
the article. under that title, in the
January 80 e isSsi.y: nclt. srp
she says, d great many very clever
and very beautiful horses in our
big city. Indeed, Wee Wrinkles
and l know several ourselves.
"Billy Borden" for instance, who
knows his milk route so well that
his driver has only to say, "S West
Sixty sixth, Billy" or "9 West
Sixty fifth, Billy" to have him go
at once to these addresses, or any
other with which he is familiar.
Again, he will say: "No milk here
to-day, Billy" and Billy iogs on.
Then there is 'Dan Sorrel. - who
draws the milk wagon that takes
the milk TO Central Park Dairy
every corning. His driver often
amuses the children that gather
about his pet by saying
''Now, Dan, l believe you are a

Dan is great fun. Nor must we
forget our old pet "Jingo,' of the
mounted policemen's horses for
he was truly wonderful, and |
might go on almost endlessly tell
ing OF his remarkable sagacity and
cleverness.
Jingo and Wee Wrinkles were
warm friends. for Wrinkles spent
two winters in a home very near
the West Seventy second street en-
trance to the park, and each sun
shiny day carried her lump OF su-
gar to Jingo, who would perform
all sorts OF tricks in order to win
his reward. He would waltz. go
down upon his knees, shake hands,
fetch pocket- handkerchief that
she made bclieve she had dropped,
whisper in his riders ear, and do
many things besides.

Bloomfield Democrat.-Two OF the
most successful hunters in Perry county
! are III. V. and J. w. 4. Hartzei, sons OF
Isaiah HartzeI, of Wheatfield township.
During the last hunting season they
killed four wild turkeys, twenty-siX
pheasants, two hundred quail, four
hundred rabbits and about twenty
squirrels. This probably beats the rec
ord of any other two hunters IN the
county.
Complaints are coming from a num-
ber of counties i'm Pennsylvania, that
horses are taken from barns ana Stables
| in the country, at night, and used ana
returned sometime before day light
The evidence that horse has been out
is plainly revealed by the appearance
of the animal Sometimes the horse Is
left at another barn miles away from
the one from which il was taken. some
one will get hurt at that business.

SOMETHING foE NOTHING

We have heard of the boy who
wanted to eat his cake and keep it
too, but never before of business
man who sold his goods and then
gave the purchaser credit for the
amount paid. To learn about this
send 10 JAMES VICKs Sons, of Ro
chester, n. Y, who agree to do
this in their Guide. The Golden
Wedding edition OF vick's Garden
and Floral Guide is certainly an
artistic work, with its twenty-four
pages Autographed in colors, and
nearly one hundred more pages
filed with handsome half-tone
illustrations, photographed from
Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables and
homes.
While'this Guide is really too
expensive TO give away, they give
it with a Due Bill for 25 cents
worth OF seeds for only Is cents.
Another new feature is the doing
away with the old packet of Vege-
table Seeds and stating the guam
tity in each case, the buyer getting
more for his money.
