LOUBET's FINE SENTIMENTS.
An Address to French Troops i'm Not
able Contrast with the Kaiser's.

MARSEILLES, Aug. 12.-President Lou
bet, accompanied by M. Delcasse, minister
of foreign affairs, General Andre, minis,
ter of war, and Nj. Delanassan, minister
of marine arrived here this morning at
o'clock and proceeded Immediately to the
reviewing ground, where they inspected
the Chinese expeditionary corps. There
was much enthusiasm, with cries of 'vive
Loubetr' .'vive la Republiquev' and "vive
rarmee." The cheering was continuous.
After the review M. Loubet, taking his
position on the reviewing stand to present
the flags to the corps. said: In the name
of the republic 1 deliver to you the flags
of the expeditionsry corps. They are con-
fided to your loyalty and patriotism, which
L guarantee. Honor and fatherland' is
your motto. Soon you will inscribe upon
their folds the name of a campaign rem
dered necessary by the violation of our
rights, the disregard Of our legitimate in
terests and the brutal assault made upon
those who represent in China civilization
and progress.
Officers, noncommissioned officers and
soldiers, let these flags be to you a sacred
gift. They recall the lofty mission of
France, mission confded TO your cour-
age, TO exact from a country where the
essential laws of civilized countries have
been odiously violated, the chastisement of
the guilty and to impose some vivid indem-
mites for the past with necessary guar
antees for the future. They tell you that
the heritage of honor, the care of which
your elders confided TO you, cannot grow
less at your hands, and that, in this in
ternational army, which is formed for the
defense of civilization. those bearing the
French uniform must not yield in dis
cipline, endurance or courage TO any.
"They will also recall to you your fami-
lies, your children and firesides, and all
the affections which soldier leaves with
out hesitation when the service of his
country claims him. They will be the SYM
boil of your country in your very midst,
of your country attentive to your suffer-
ings and watchful of the dangers from
which wish you may soon be relieved.
I'VE will await with impatience, but not
with alarm. the return which will permit
US to share with YOU and your comrades of
the feet. under Admiral POTTER, our salts
faction and gratitude"
At the luncheon following the ceremony.
NJ. Loubet. replying TO the toast TO his
health. said: II came here, as / went to
Cherbourg. I'm order 10 dispel the criminal
equivocation which party spirit attempts
10 create. and which II wishes 10 per-
petuate by trying 10 dig ditch between
the army and the nation.
This monstrous effort will fail. It has
already failed. 1 am certain of it. Is not
the army a part OF the nation itself? When
military service is completed, will not the
members OF the army return to their own
firesides? The army and the nation make
only one. and inspired with the same
devotion TO France and the republic"

SPRINGFIELD CONTEST.
Zack MulhaIl and His Two
Daughters,

Wonderfully good news wes re-
ceived by the fair committee in
letter from Zack Mulhall Of Null
hall, |. T., in which he accepts the
committees invitation to attend
the roping contest, Wednesday
and Thursday Of fair week, and
that he will bring also, bis two
daughters with him, together with
their ponies, saddles and lassos.
This is without doubt the very
best possible news that could come
and insures the roping contest to.
be the most attractive exhibition
ever seen by the public anywhere
In the world. Miss Mulhall al
though young lady, still in her
teens, can outride any of the bold
est men riders in all the cattle
ranges, and throws a lasso with an
accuracy and skill that is the envy
Of ali the boys. Whenever she
enters a contest she creates the
widest enthusiasm aud the aud.
fences rise TO a pitch OF excitement
unknown in any other exhibition
yet given to the public. Those
who saw Miss Mulhall in Okiaho.
ma City say the sight was the
grandest they ever beheld, and
they are wild to see it again. 1t is
an assured fact that Springfeld's
roping contest with all its cowboy
entries and crowned by Miss Null
halls participation will reach the
very pinnacle of sporting events
and will be remembered with
keenest delight by every person
who shall be present. For years
the Springfield roping contest will
be an epic in the memories Of all
the southwest oountry.-Spring-

1t is hoped Che allied powers
will, when they enter Pekin, find
ample grounds for driving out the
Chinese, and the dismemberment
OF the empire, for to do such a
thing without some excuse would
be against international ethics.

IT IS WONDERFULLY MADE.
Signature Of Tams Bixby Of 1usko-
gee Is a Chinese Puzzle.

OikuaAuIS W ihIuS DihDy VI lthShu-
gee Is a Chinese Puzzle.
Tams Bixby, government olii-
cial at Muskogee, 1. T., is register
cd at the Baltimore hotel. There
seems to be nothing strange or ex-
citing in this statement. Mr.. Blk
by has a perfect right, no doubt to
register at the Baltimore or any
other hotel, as long as he has the
necessary price to pay for mis- reg
istration, and no one has eyer ac-
oused him OF not having the price.
But it is very likely that no one
who has not seen Mr.. Bixby's sig
nature before who glanced over
the register yesterday knew that
Tam Bixby's name was written
there. For of all signatures it is
the most undecipherable. When
people FIRST saw it yesterday they
thought Chinese Boxer had ar.
rived in town. Then they thought
there are no boxers in the Indian
Territory ana they were more
deeply mystified than ever.
There is only one way to de-
scribe Mr.. Bixby's signature. 1t
is a series of straight lines almost
perpendicular. There is a line
across the top Of the first one to
form a I and along about the GEN.
ter a b may be deciphered. But
otherwise the name is as unintel-
ligible to the uninitiated as the
etaoin Of the printers pied line.
II is said that when Mr.. Bixby
fret registers at hotel he is COM
PEELED to pay in advance as no
clerk would take the responsibility
Of trying to write letter TO a man
with such a signature should he be
thoughtless enough TO forget to
pay his bill.-Kansas City Times.

came to this town an alleged
preacher who said that his name
was Reed and an alleged doctor
who said that his name was DR..
Reed, The pair purported to be
cousins and they we're sleek, we'll
fed and good to look upon. The
"Rev." Reed donned the "sheep's
clothing" and preached a sermon
in the Christian church the SUM-
day after his arrival. His sermon
was so good that he was at once
employed as pastor of the church
and guardian Of the flock. He ac-
cepted the honor with a benign,
lamb.like countenanoe and never
once showed his VOLTS teeth.
Meantime, DR.. Reed had quietly
settled down here for the practice
of medicine and was officiating in
Weeks drug store. All was Sc

when burglars bold Gas was then

carried away upwards Of 5000
worth OF watches and pocketDooks.
This event filled the hearts of the
dapper pair-Dr. and Rev. Reed
with sympathetic sadness and they
were much agrieved over the loss
OF their good fliend, Weeks. II
affected their soulful natures to
such an extent that their health
had begun to pine away and a
change of climate seemed impera-
tive. So they-unobstrusive and
noteriety.hating men that they
were-on Saturday night took a
stroll by moonlight alone and ST.

happy was tie little singer
Looking forward TO the springsime.
Thus thS 'eng aud drcafy winter
Passed away With leaden footsteps
And again the hills and valleys
Weakened from their chilly slumbefs,
And the laughter Of the waters
Called to her with happy voices.
And she answered with her singing
Till the song birds Of the forest
Caught and niocked the happy echo.
But the voice she loved and longed for,
And the step for which she listened,
And the man for whom she waited
Ne'er would come again to greet her.
Aud the maiden sadly singing
In the starlight in the morning,
Seemed to draw him near In spirit
From his distant homie and people.
Aud the granddameof the maiden
Looked with sorrow on her grandchild
Looked with sadness at her fading,
Looked with anguish at her pining.
She who had been 50 light hearted
Till she met The pale faced stranger,
1ill she met the handsome Yankee,
Till she met with Ska-kle.los-ky.
"My dear daughter, +" said the granddame,
"choose a young man Of your tribe.
Do not waste your youth in pining.
Wait not for the tickle stranger;
Wait not for your fair faced lover.
Awful queer folks are the white folks"
Many springs and many winters
Passed away in swift rotation,
And the gentle Indian maiden,
Grew into sad-faced woman.
No more twilight found hersineihg,
Silent was her voice forever.
All the powers Of the magician,
All the pleadings OF her people
Failed to change the silent singer,
Or arouse her admiration
For the tall and handsome suitors,
Chiefs from far and distant nations,
Who had learned her hapless story
And had travelled far to WOO her.
But she needed not nor heard them,
For her thoughts were with the stranger
And the echo Of his whispers
Silenced all the other voices
Thus in melancholy sadness
With her mind to memory welded
And in patient resignation
So her days alike were numbered.
Thus she passed away in silence
To the land of the hereafter.
Still her sad unhappy story
Is repeated to the traveller,
And her home among the mountains
TO this day is sought by strangers.
If you go alone by twilight
To the cave beside the river,
Where the lovers in the evening
Rowed together in the cleaning,
You may hear the repetition
OF the songs as they were uttered
BY this charming Indian maiden,
By Nowita. the sweet singer.
