The digger lay painfully swaying
His tail in the dusty road
AS he told,this remarkable story
To the Gro and Listening toad:
II havelived in these regions for ages,
Haven't counted the ears as they run,
But my father who lived before me o.
knew well Methuselah's son.
have baffled the wild red warrior
Who 50 oft my kindred slew
With his bow and his stone-tIpped arrow.
Ere knew of the pae-faced crew.
But they came and were clearing our hazels,
And Staying my kindred to boot;
And soon they were plowing our holes up
And planting to grain and to fruit
But circled about their small clearings
And dug up the sproutlng grain;
And when they came seeking to slay me
| scud to my hole again.
Ilaughed as thought Of their folly,
And said / shall never die.
But, alas for that fatal apple
And he heaveda dlsconsolate sigh.
"Go on said the toad, who was listening,
And the crow. whoiwas noting It down,
Gave low, halfaudibe chuckle,
AS though he We're just catching on.
"l'd been told that this wonderful creature
Who is spelling the land for my kin
Had the finest of fruits for his table,
And thought will Just take EN- in.
So climbed up a tree in the orchard,
Cast about to see no one was nigh,
Then turned to inspect the great apples
That grew in profusion near by
And selecting fruit of the incest, ~
Sunk my teeth in its leathery hide" sa
Here he rolled over, kicked once and shuddered
He had ate the "Ben Davis" and died. 8.
The toad for time sat in silence,
AS he pondered the story just told, /,
Then caught the green fly that came buzzing,
And wondering, hopped off to his hole. e.
Said the crow, as he eyed his late client
"Let MS hope he has died for the best,
Ard winding his tallons about him, - ~
Flew, cawing, away 10 his nest.

At the Christmas exercises at Big
Glow, Sherman county, A. V. Under
wood in his essay got off the following
sentiment:
0 America! be true to thy trust,
Humanity depends upon thee. Sheath
not thy sword. nor return Thy hayonet
to its scabhard until the whole world
shall he free. Until every country
shall be free. Until every country
shall be ruled by It's own people I'M
Ill hireling army shall be no more.
Until throughout the whole world
shall be written, in every fort and
every harhor, in every beautiful valley
and on every mountain top, in each
country village aud the crowded city,
this ledge of justice and secnrity:
Every man, both male aud female,
has certain undeniable rights and that
among these are Life, Liberty aud the
Pursuit of Happiness. And then
will the waste places rejoice and the
desert shall blossom as the rose.

Major Edward McConpiIIe.

From the San Francisco Call of Feb
ruary 1th we clip the following inter-
view touching the death OF the brave
Edward McConyille.
According TO Lieu.enan, Colonel J.
w. Jones, Of the First Idaho Infantry
Volunteers, who lately reiarued from
Manila, Major Edward McConyille, the
brave soldier who met death In the de-
Tense OF Msnila on Sunday, WAS one Of
the most gallant officers In the service.
The colonel greatly deplores his taking
on, As be esiremed him highly. In
speaking OF the dead officers past life
Colonel Jones said Major McConville
Was veteran Of the Civil War and had
opposed him 10 a number OF battles
around Richmond. McCouyille was a
member Of Mcclellan's army and the
colonel WAS hgh,ing with Lee.
"At the close Of the war, said Colonel
Jones, "Maior McConyille continued 10
the army and Was sent out among the
indians. While in their country be be.

temperament and 10 time became one

What Spain Did to Sape Cuba.

II Is doubtful II the world will ever
be informed OF the true cost of the Span
ish effort to hold on to Cuba during the
last three years. A French statement
tending TO show that 1t was not worth
while TO sacrifice 30 many lives and so
much money simply to retain thor
oughly disaffected territory, gives
probably the clearest view Of the situ-
alton.
In March. 1895, when the last insur-
rection broke out, there was about 12,-
600 Spanish soldiers on that island. UP
to June 1898, Spain sent there over 1871,
600 high officials, officers and soldiers
The total losses Of this large army, by
far the greater part from yellow fever
and other diseases, exceed l04, 900 men
or more than half.
Excluding losses In property, ships
merchandise, indemnities, and other
items impossible TO estimate, the money
cost OF this three years campaign was
upward of s350,000,0 900. The expendi
lures from January ! to June 3 las
alone amounted TO $50, 900 900. 1t Il
these APPALLING figures that have recon
ciled Spain in large measure to the
loss OF the island.-Ex.

Egan Suspended for Six Years.

WASHINGTON, Feb .7.-Tbe president
today caused to be promulgated the
sentence In the case OF Egan. The
court martial sentence was dismissal
from the army, and the president has
commuted this to six years suspension
from duty, which covers the remainder
OF the time prior TO Egan's retirement
in 1905.
II was stated by the adjutant general
that Gen. Egan's suspension carried
him to within a few days OF his retire
ment and to the age limit. He will be
reinstated in time to retire with the
regular rank and pay provided in such
cases. The sentence of suspension,
according to legal officers Of the depart
ment, does not deprive Gen. Egan OF
any part of his pay, but as the sentence
reads without rank and duty" he loses
his allowance, communication of quarters,
rations and fuel and his horse allow.

item.
