The Joys and Disapp t2nents That

I wonder how many old women there
were who baked and basted and then sat
waiting in their black silk frocks for the

served for the mothers, and it was to
have them come. Certain it is that a
holy pathOs settled over it as we cOntem-
plated it afterwards. We remembered
then that the "old woman" could not oe
as merry as we were. She had little dis
appointments that she hid from us How
plainly we understood them after the old
silk frOck was put away in the cedar
chest for the last time! How she must
have worked for days with what remain
ed of her skill, to renew the old foolish
nesses against the coming! She put
brandy in the one of her mince pies be-
cause John had always liked it. and she
left it out of another because Molly al
ways 'abominated it." She tried to coax
her old gray hair into the three short

she was a New England mother, she
made a batch of crullers with her own
hands and put them in the same old
crock in the pantry, where Frank used to
go slyly and steal them away How often
she found the crumbs in between the
sheets in the morning, and never men

because Frank liked them of "a nice Gin

hensible to her that Frank could get
beyond the cruller stage, and when she
took him to the pantry and pointed with
some flaming up of her old pride, to the

have made pretense OF his former zest

saw the tired old wrists crossed and tied
with a white ribbon Then he wondered
why he did not grant that poor little fa-

sing their praises to the world.

HATS AND TOQUEs.

Shapes Are Eccentric, COIorings Di-
zarre, Trimmings Extraordinary.
Hats continue to be the subject of
much comment, for the shapes are most
eccentric, the cOlorings most bizarre, and
the trimmings most extraordinary. There
does not seem to be any really settled
reason, Harper's Bazaar says, why any
one style of hat should be popular, for
there are so many different shapes, each
one of which is in fashion, that it is
merely a question of choosing the most
becoming. The three-cornered hat has
not been as smart as anticipated When
it is becoming it is very becoming, and

Seattle, May 2S.-During the last
voyage of the Churruca from Aparri,
according to the Manila Freedom, the
steamer touched at the island where
the Charleston was wrecked, for the
purpose of taking on number of
beeves. Several American civilians
were passengers on the ship and they
seized an opportunity to 60 ashore.

through the place they stumbled across

Washington, May 31.-A cablegram
received at the navy department. today
stated that the Newark had been des-
ignated to act as flagship of the senior
squadron commander, and that the ves-
sci sailed from Nagasaki last Saturday
and arrived at Taku forts yesterday.
Rear Admiral Kempff is the senior
squadron officer described in the dis
patch, and his visit to Taku, the near
est point to Peking attainable for large
vessels, has attracted much attention.
It is understood that there is already a

gathered at Taku, and since the with

point.
While prepared to act concurrently
with, though Independently of, the
European powers in the protection of
the life and property of foreigners in

ent any intention of making a hostile
demonstration in the Pei-Ho river. 1t

the purpose of getting as near as possi-

STRIKE sYMPATHlzERs.

Caused Another Riot in st. Louis-At.
tempt to Blow Up a. Car.
st Louis, May 28.-Sympathizers OF
the striking street car men were again
the medium of riotous demonstration
today, and as result another name was
added to the long list of wounded.
This afternoon, as car on the Jefferson
avenue line, running south, approached
Sullivan avenue, it was attacked by a
crowd of men and boys. Several shots
were fired at the car. The policemen
on the car returned the fire, and in all
about 100 shots were exchanged. Peter
Wells, patrolman, who was riding on
the front platform, was hit in the left
arm pit, the bullet producing an ugly
wound. 1t is not known who fired the
the men on the car drew their revolv-
ers. 1t was rumored that two men in
crowd we're shot, but they could not be
found by the police.
The differences existing between the
management of the st. Louis &
Suberban Railway Company and the
union men in its employ were salts
factorily adjusted this afternoon and all
danger of another strike has been avert
ed, at least for the present.
Twenty-Five miles of the Tran sit
Company were in operation today, but
few cars were running.
At 6 A. M. an attempt was made by
somebody unknown to blow up car
on the Spaulding avenue line of the
Transit Company. The wheels of the
first car struck something that explod-
ed with loud noise, and lifted the car
two or three feet into the air.

Pursuit-Dead Men Unarmed.
Salt Lake, May 31.-A special to the
Herald from Thompson. Utah, says:
A cowardly assassination occurred
about SO miles north of here yesterday
at noon. Sheriff Tyler, of Grand

by outlaws on Hill creek, about so
miles north of here.

Sheriff Day have been on the hunt for
cattle rustlers for several days, in fact,
ever since they killed George Currie on
April II. The posse had separated
from Sheriff Preece, of Uintah county,
and posse, early in the morning. the
latter being about three miles away
when the shooting occurred. The story
of the killing, as told by Deputy Sheriff
Day, who was only about SO yards
away when the shooting occurred, is as
follows:
The officers came upon the outlaws
camp unexpectedly. As soon as they
saw the outlaws they dismounted and
advanced towards them. When with
In a few yards from the outlaws, Sheriff
Tyler spoke to them, saying, ''Hello,
boys"
The reply made could not be heard
by Deputy Sheriff Day, but Immediately
after it was made, Sheriff Tyler and
Jenkins turned towards their horses,
supposedly with the intentionsof leav-
ing to get more assistance. As soon as
their backs were turned, the outlaws
shot them through the back, the bull
lets coming out of their breasts, killing
them almost instantly.
