DEEDS AND DREAMS.

Young John Jones sat down and dreamed
OF the things he meant to do;
And the way his fancy schemed
Gave his thoughts rosy hue,
81 am going to be great"
Said young John Jones;
Master great affairs of state"
Said young John Jones'
''Kings and queens on me shall wait"
Said young John Jones.
Young Bill Brown got down to work
In a corner grocery store;
And he hustled like Turk
Till his master paid him more.
81 don't know what I may do"
Said young Bill Brown;
But what can I'm going to-"
Said young Bill Brown;
"And I guess I'll get my due"
Said young Bill Brown.
Young John Jones still thought and thought
OF his futures flowery ways
And his fruitful fancy caught
Notes Of many nations praise.
So he dreamed and dreamed and
dreamed,
Did young John Jones;
And a brilliant boy he seemed,
Did young John Jones;
And a bright young man was deemed,
Was young John Jones.
Young Bill Brown just pegged along,
Learning something every day,
Cheering comrades with song,
Drawing large and larger pay.
He was rather commonplace,
Was young Bill Brown;
But he had an earnest face,
Had young Bill Brown;
And he hit steady paoe.
Did young Bill Brown
Old Jack Jones somehow has failed
To achieve the shining height
Which his youthful dreams assailed
With such fanclful delight
Couldn't reach the top somehow,
Could old Jack Jones;
Fame has never famed his brow,
Not old Jack Jones';
And he's poor and friendless noe,
Is old Jack Jones.
Mr.. William Henry Brown
Runs a wholesale store or two,
Owns quarter of the town,
And believes he's got his due. u
In the prints we often read I
or W. H. Brown;
He's noted man indeed,
Is W. H. Brown.
Doing things has been the creed
or W. H. Brown.

DELEGATES TO THE
 PEACE CONFERENCE
Rumored That the Prince of
 Wales Will Attend as
ENGLAND'S REPRESENTA-
Marquis of Salisbury and Lord Rose bery Will Accompany Him The Queens Influence Has Been
 Felt in the Matter.

London, December 31.-A report comes from a usually we'll informed source, that the British government contemplates being represented at the czar's peace conference by the Prince of Wales, the Marquis of Salisbury and Lord Rosebery, aided by military and naval commissions If true. this will give the project immensely greater importance than it has yet attained and is probably due to the personal infiu- ence of Queen Victoria.
 Except William T. Stead, who has thrown his whole energies into the leader ship of the peace conference propaganda, the mass of British subjects are skeptcaI on the whole subject.
 The island of Crete is the scene of an cx- pertinent similar to the one to be tried in Cuba. Prince George, of Greece who was formally installed this week as high com missioner of the powers seems to appre- ciate the fact that he has an opportunity to advance the prestige of Greece as well as his own personal prestige. He has be- gun to rule with an iron hand. The prince found the island honeycombed with religious and political factions, each threatening out rages upon its enemies. He quickly ordered the SoiulerS 10 auopt drastic measures and announced that he would suppress disorder even though he had to turn the whole island into barracks. His policy and Christian faith are so distastefvl to the Moslems that they are leaving in droves and there is report that the island will soon be popu- lated entirely by Christians and that it will subject of informal conferences between
 The projected maritime carfali through Nicaragua and Costa Rica has been the subject of informal conferences bewteen cabinet ministers and diplomats during the holiday week and the results confirm the forecast cabled to the Associated Press that the British government favors the ca nal being built by the United States with guarantees of its neutrality in case of war The negotiations on the subject are not being hurried. They have hardly passed beyond personal. exchanges of views be- tween representatives of the two govern ments. But they are expected to proceed smoothly to a conclusion satisfactory to the American supporters of the canal project.

EIGHT CLUB
 LEAGUE A REALITY
Magnate Dreyfus DisclOseS Some
 Inside Information.
LOUISVILLE TO BE LEFT OUT
Together With Washington, Cleveland and Baltimore-WholeT Thing De- pends on Decision of Von
 der Ahe Case in St. Louis.

Louisville, December 3i.-Contrary to the announcement made today In these dis patches that the directors of the Louisville baseball club would hold important meeting tonight at which deals of general public interest would be settled, no such meeting was held President Barney Drey- fus said, however that several offers had been made for the star players of the Louisville club. The consideration of the deals and their settlement will be made at
 the annual meeting of the stockholders next week.
 More important than this, however, Is the statement unequivocally made for the first time that the eight-cub league scheme is a reality, and that it's consummation hangs on the decision of the St. Louis courts, which will be made this week in the case of Muckenfuss vs. Won Der Ahe. If the courts decide in favor of Muckenfuss, and thereby busting yon Der Ahe, there will be but eight clubs in the league, and Louisville will not be one of them. The league has already made an offer for the Colonels with certain provisos, and the local magnates practically agreed to the terms.
 
 fuss, the Cleveland team will play in Mound City; Louisville and Washington will be bought out and abolished, and the Balti- more team will play in Brooklyn, thereby reducing the league to eight clubs. If Won Der Ahe wins his suit and he is kept in power by the St. Louis courts, then the re- duction deal will be blocked and the Louis- Vile club will probably dispose of some of it's star players. It can be said, however that the magnates expect the courts to de- eide in favor of Muckenfuss, and they have already made arrangements for a meeting of the heads of the eight clubs interested While MT. Dreyfus would not go into de- tails regarding the offers from the eastern clubs, he admitted that the New York and Philadelphia clubs were the ones that seek the Colonels' best players. He also admit ted that one of the offers was 900 for Outfielder Fred Clark and Charlie Dexter. MT Freedman also made an offer of $4 900 for Pitcher Cunningham. Philadelphia has also made offers for Clarke, Dexter and Kittredge. Magee and Clingman are also sought by the eastern magnates. It is stated that the local owners can dispose of four five of their players to the New
 York and Philadelphia clubs for at least $25, 900.
 Whether the Louisville stockholders will decide to dispose of these players is ques- tion which will not be answered until the annual meeting next week.

The Uoncesslon Disapproyed

Washington, December 31.-The secretary of state today formally disapproved the concession made in July by the Hawaiian government to the Pacific Cable company for an exclusive right of laying cables 10 Hawaii. It is understood that this action was taken in no spirit of hostility to the Pacific Calbe company, but the concession was disapproved, first on account of the formal protest made by the Hawaiian com mission and secondly, because it seemed best to leave to congress free hand in the disposition of the whole subject.

lowed pin. As Mr.. Cook was only 6
years of age at that time and his di-

readily to this foreign substance, the

As the years rolled by he could occa-
sionally feel tickling sensation and
finally lump the size Of an egg formed

would relieve him. The operation for
appendicitis was performed at Harper

score of years was removed. Cook is
rapidly improving.
