The hoy. Got In.

The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond of boys and always
wanted TO see lot of them in his audi
ence. He never gave a performance,
says the Cleveland Leader. when the
hooks and corners were not filled with
youngsters who had come in free.
One story of this sort was told by
Captain George J. Grammer. At the
time Of the occurrence Grammer. who
lived in GAINESVILLE. O., was standing
one afternoon with a crowd Of other
boys looking longingly into the tent,
but not having the price of admission.
1t was Mr.. Rice's custom TO stand at
the door until the first grand entry of
the circus people, when he would
leave. On this occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces of the boys
and called them around him. You
want to go in, don't you, boys?"
BET your lifer' shouted back the
youngsters.
III tell you what. All the boys who
are back here in ten minutes with clean
faces and hands get in
The words were hardly out of his
mouth before there was n dash for
the Muskingum river, and in less than
seven minutes 200 clean faces and
hands came back to the tent. The
boys went inside with a rush.

SAW MILLS TO CLOSE.
Inability to Secure Logs May
Necessitate an Early
Shut Down.
DUE TO LOW STAGE OF WATER
Heavy Rain is Needed in North
to Relieve the Situa-
ton.

The closing of the st. Crsix boom
is worrying lumbermen considerably.
Only heavy rains can float the logs
which are now tied up in the tribu-
tary. and which perforce keeps the
loggers from earning anything during
the period of their idleness.
"a right heavy rain is needed to
float the boom, and if this does not
come there will be trouble ahead for
the mills of the north" said lum-
herman Last year not only did we
have low water, but we had scarcity
in the cut. and lumbe went up in
consequence. This year we all
hoped to be able to stock up.
but unless conditions change there
will be no surplus. if there
be enough to supply the demand.
which promises to be excessive. The
northern mills are laid up. For three
weeks they have been closed down,
and if the cessation of the work has
not extended to this city. it is
simply because the mills here had
more foresight, and stocked up with
logs and RATS which were moored in
convenient bayous and bays along the
river, instead of leaving them in the
booms until called for"
Showers of Little Benefit.
There have been some showers in
the north. and it is imagined by some
people that the situation up there
must be better on that account, but it
is not enough better to be worthy of
very much in the way of confidence
for the future. The danger of fire is
over for the moment, where things
have been wetted, but there has not
been enough rain to influence the drive
streams, and there is no movement OF
logs on account of these splashes of
rain. The dry season, it is felt by the
river and L lumber people, is more
likely to get worse than it is to get
better, and the increasing heat of the
season is calculated to make it worse.
So far there is no change in the pro-
gram of the mills that have been plan
ming to close in the middle of the
summer, because they will be out of
logs by that time. If the weather
does not get wet enough to give them
relief it will take miracle to keep
them running

AsToR AND THE APOLOGY.

About the most copious, mean, vulgar,
and coarse proclamation of private ife''
that has ever been INDUCED in by any
newspaper printed in the English lau-
guage was the paragraph which recently
appeared in William Waldorf Astor' g
own evening journal, the Pail Mall Ga.
zette, concerning the alleged unlimited
attendance OF Sir Berkeley Milne at a
concert given by Mr.. Astor at Cliveden;
and this paragraph was not only fur
nished to his paper by Mr.. Astor him
self, but its publication was threatened
in advance of its appearance. But Mr.
Astor has apologized for his wanton as
sault upon Sir Berkeley, and it now re-
mains to be seen how far his tardy act
of reparation will 60 towards rehabili-
tating him in the estimation of the se-
lect aristocratic circle, TO effect an en-

of death. Yesterday came message
from our Minister conveying news that
will stir the world like trumpe. and
renew the life of trust perishing' under
the fatal stress Of long and weary waiting
in terror unspeakable. Three days ago,
on Wednesday, 18th inst, Minister Con-
ger was alive, and those with him in the
premises of the British Legation wee at
least not reported slain. They were sore
beset and in instant peril, but up to
sixty hours ago they had not been mas
sacred. The message is unquestionably
authentic, and the nations OF Christen-
dom are indebted to Minister Wa Ting
Fang for the exercise of his personal in
fiuence by which Secretary OF State Hay
has been enabled to send a cipher dis
patch to Minister Conger and get reply
forwarded through the hostile lines OF
the Chinese Boxers. Now that We know
our people have not yet been slaughtered

doubtless will be, only question Of how

THE MAN-HIS COAT.

There can be no objection 10 talking
about casting aside mems coats during
the heated term. This is a free country,
and the right OF free speech is inalien-
able. But something more than talk is
necessary ii men are to be freed from
that species OF thralldom.
One man, neatly attired in the cos.
tune which all man would like to wear,
is a more convincing argument for dis.
carding the coat than allthe chatter that
ever emanated from Chatterdom.
Leave your coat at home on very hot
days or carr It on your arm, not forget.

contrary, the purchase OF pianos, to a
large extent, means that tie SunhoNer
State is prosperous in this year OF grace

in this beautiful musical instrument
as it has been called with some exaggera-
zion, will tell you that the number Of
pianos sold in any given period OF time
furnishes very conclusive test OF exist
ing industrial conditions. OF course, the
sale OF all commodities is affected more
or less by the amount OF money in the
pockets Of the populace. But the piano
is exceptional. While it is not only a
luxury, but also a badge of respectable
ity, it can be done without. And 50 in
hard times the demand for it falls oil.
But when things improve it is one Of the
first products of human skill to feel the
increase in demand.
The spread of pianos in Kansas may
not conduce to the general comfort The
satisfaction felt by sturday farmer as
he contemplates the new article OF fur

experiences as his daughters practice for
