z y far-off Indias mystic land
Is the coast of Trincomalee,
Near which. thousand years ago,
Grew beautiful Gingho tree.
Its fruit was large and rich and sweet,
Il It's perfume tinged the air,
And many traveller. meath its shade
Would rest the nOontide there.
There came a King of the farther East,
Who had jOurneyed over and through
The mountains high and the wales so deep,
When the Gingho came in view.
Here viii we rest, my weary men;
All praise 10 Cod said he.

TOHNNY had been a good boy for
a long time and received from his
teacher a book on the life of George
I'll Washington. He read the book
~ over until he came to the part
where George Washington cut down
the cherry tree and never got whipped.
So Johnny thought he would try and
cut down his fathers tree and he said
to himself when he went to get the
hatchet: "Of course l won't get
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-04

whipped because George Washington
didn't
The tree was soon chopped down and
he went into the house and his father
said: Johnny, my boy, who cut down
papa's cherry tree?" Johnny said:
Father, l cut it down with my little
hatchet."
You did said the father. then I
will whip YOU" So Johnny was fooled.

20, King! o. King! the tree is deadr'
Cried they in loud alarm
What evil spirit hath done this
Hath done the Gnngho harm?"
The King bethought the sin was his,
And a voice came from the tree:
God placed me here for man and beast
But not for such as YET
They left the spot: they iourneyed on
And on, beyond the plain;
Then from the tree the foliage sprung
And rich, ripe fruit again.

Beneath the tree they pitched their tents
So thankful that they Wept;
They ate and drank most heartily,

And In his selfish brain

There has been less correspondence on
this subject of late between Secretary
Aiger and General Brooke than has been
generally supposed Last Wednesday the
latter cabled the war department that he
proposed to begin the payment OF the
money TO the Cubans, the arms TO go into
the custody OF the mayors. Secretary Al
ger did not reply TO this, as 1t concerned
a matter In which the president himself
