New York is being seriously consid-
cred by the administration for place
on the American commission to nego-
tiate peace with China.
Bloody Campaign Is Likely. IS.
i; The news from abroad going to
show that Germany seems bent on
military rather than diplomatic meas
ures, has aroused the various officials
here to the realization that bloody
times may yet be in store for the al
lies in China.
This nation has declared that it
will hold the culprits who were guilty
of the recent outrages against the le-
cations to "strict accountability" for
their crime If China's mood remains
sullen and Incorporate, little can be
expected from her government in the
way of furnishing these rogues her
self
This nation. in the words of high
official, cannot retract what it has
said on any one of these propositions,
and if events bring about a crisis that
means actual warfare, the United
States must meet it as it did the first
crisis in China
The fact that Germany is reported
on good authority to be making ready
to launch a broad military program
in China indicates that the kaiser Is
intent on making good use of his emf
nent military representative in the
flowery kingdom, Count Won Valdez

The ungratefal cuckoo.

To hear the cuckoo's CHEEKY note you
might think he had the clearest con-
science In the world. He can have nei-

would not carry It OF so gayly. We
say nothing OF the "raptores." who are
q race apart but the most disreputabIe
Of birds. as rule. are guilty Of moth

daw will steal for the mere fun of the
thing, for he can make no possible use
Of plate or jewelry. and sometimes un.
der temptation may make snatch at
a pheasant chick. Spatrows are, Of
course, notorious thieves, but they rank
no higher In crime than the sneaking
pickpockets. But the cuckoo, 90 to
speak. is q murderer from his cradle.
He violates the sanctity Of a hospitable
hearth. His first victims are his own
foster brothers. and before he tries his
wings on the first flght he is imbrued

Dog Days are Here.

The dog days are upon US. Satur-
dey vas The first 0ne. 1t rained.
Sunday was the second one. It rain
ed. To-day is the third one. And it
rained this morning.
There are scores Of people all over
this country who believe that it will
rain now every day for forty days,
that being the accepted limit Of the
number Of the dog days.
But these so-called dog days being
simply the result Of an old supersti-
ton tie weather bureau takes no off
cial cognizance Of them-from pure
iy meteorological standpoint they are
This dog day business is supposed
to be brought about by the rising Of
the star Sirius above the horizon at
the same time as the sun.
Sirius makes this rise about this
time of year.
The old superstition takes color
from the fact that Sirius is called the
dog star, not because it looks bit
like canine, but owing to its location
in the constellation Of the CAMS
Major, or Great Dog.
Sirius is the star OF the Arst magni-
tude. Astronomers tell US that it is
the brightest star In the heavens.
They say that Sirius is only 123, ,000,-
600, 900 miles from the earth and 80
amazing in its brilliancy that were
the sun that far from the world it
would appear as star Of the sixth
magnitude and not be visible to the
naked eye.
They add that it would take just
400 suns like ours located the same
distance from the earth as Sirius, to
give us the amount Of light which
comes flooding through space to our
world from this same old Dog star.
Sirius was known to the Egyptians
under the name Of Sotkis. They no.
ticed that its rising always preceded
the rising Of the river Nile, and be-
lieved that the rise Of the Dog star
led the freshets.
This is probably the reason why
old timers firmly believe to this day
that the Dog star causes the dog days
and 40 days Of rain.
The Romans named the star Sirius.
They locked upon the lumipary as
star Of i'll omen, believing that its
rise above the horizon portended the
oppressive and deadly heat Of sum-
mer, and also gave rise to wars and
other calamities.
According to some superstitious
worthless, the rising of Sirius is 6
forerunner Of large crop of mad dogs
and
Well, the wars are already here.
The fact that they came little
prior to the rising Of the Dog star
this year can, perhaps, be accounted
for on the ground that the course run
by this dazzling s'shiner" is irregular
and at times absolutely zig gag.

your umbrellas. Journal.

Queer Effect.

Speaking Of PISTOLS said New
Orleans lawyer, 81 ap reminded of
remarkable case in which I was inter
ested soon after the war, when was |
prscticing over in Alabama. A gem
eral shooting affray, growing out of o
family fued, had taken place at @
crossroads store, and an influential
planter named McDermott was killed.
He was standing behind o little. shed,
considerable distance away, at the
time; and o young man named Lee
Allen was firing out Of the store win.
dow at another Of the crowd. McDer.
mott was hit in the head aud che bullet
was identified as coming from Aliens
pistol, which was an English weapon
Of very unusual size-caliber AZ.
But singular part Of the affair was that
the place where the planter stood was
out Of the range of the window. The
corner of the shed interposed, and it
was simply impossible to understand
how the missile reached its mark. l
was engaged for the defense, and, af-
ter carefully measuring the ground
aud firing several test shots, became
convinced that my client was innocent
and that there had been another At
caliber pistol in the fight. The cir
cumstantial evidence seemed to bear
out my theory indisputably, and l felt
confident of an acquittal, when, at the
eleventh hour, the unexpected hap
pen ed and knocked out my props. It
occurred to the prosecuting attorney
to test Aliens weapon and find out
exactly how it carried. Accordingly,
he screwed it in a wise and blazed
ent distances. The result was as
tonishing. Up to about SO feet it
shot all right, but at that point the
bullet suddenly veered at all sorts Of
extraordinary tangents. Sometimes it
sailed up into the air, sometimes it
plunged downward, and sometimes it
swooped off to one side. The expla-
nation, however, was simple. 1t
seemed that Allen had found the bar
rel too long, and, week or so be-
fore the fight, had fled of several in
chcs. That operation completely de-
stroyed the effect Of the riAing, and,
instead Of imparting o true circular
twist to the bullet, it gave it peculiar
English as billiard players would
say, which was es liable to send it in
one direction as another. That ex'
pertinent fully explained the mystery
Of McDermott's taking OF. My client
was convicted of manslaughter and af
terward pardoned. Idon't know what
became Of the pistol. 1t should have
been preserved as the only gun on
earth that pitched curved balls. .

4 story From Dublin.

1t was at a Dublin dance. What lent
additional luster to the occasion was
the expectation that certain impor-
tant peer would put In an appearance
and sc cousse, dsncS s.lth certain
Fortunate Gsnsels. The guest 5e the
evening was, however, late. An ex-
cellent and fussy- person saw a very
pretty girl sitting out dance after
dance. He went up and. speaking to
the mother, observed:
'Tt Is quite shame that your pretty
daughter should be sitting out In this
way. You must really let me intro
duce her to some nice young men who
will give her all the dancing she
wants"
"WhIstr cried the mother. "Be aisy;

Then he jumped down, and his face,
though very brown, became blanched
with fear. He recalled the young Ger
man surveyor, the lawyer and Don
Carlos Arispe.
Then came the master Of the house,
Don Diego. tall. strong, and his face
eomber. He was choking with appre.
hension. He. too. looked In the win
dow and shouted.
And there was no reply.
Then he tried the door. aud. luckily,
the young people had not put up the
wooden beam. he went in, and touch
ed the sleepers. They moved not.
They were.-sleeping the last sleep!
Don Diego was o strong man, but he
felt deadly Ill. Demons haunt this
accursed roomrf he cried out. Then,
Ponciano having called the men Of the
escort. they came and entered the
room, Astonishment was depleted on
their faces. They refused to believe
that the captain and his bride. so calm
in death, were not asleep. They
groaned In spirit, and one of the men
shouted In Captain Delmonte's eur:
Captain get up! 1t is nearly 8
o'clock" But the captain was far
AWAY.
The same judge who had been sent
for before was summoned. The judge
came late In the afternoon. He re-
called his previous visit, and yet he
said: "No suspicion cnn attach to you,
Don Diego. nor to your wife OF serv-
ants. This is an act Of God; this room,
this bed, they are accursed. Let us
remove the bodies; they may be buried
in the morning, and next day will
draw up papers relating the mystery
Of this room, which should be barred,
never to be opened again."
The men Of the escort wept like chill
dren; they were good loyal fellows.
and fond Of the captain and his bride.
Old POnciano was SO overcome that he
fell in an ataque and died incon-
tinently. A whisper went about that
he was q poisoner, and that his heart
had accused him! So the servants
gossiped.
| At $50 in the morning tile young
couple were buried In the presence Of
the judge who also presided over the
interment of Ponciano, not without
some feeling Of suspicion in his heart
regarding the old man. But Don Diego
said: "Ponciano served my father be-
fore me. He was tho soul Of honor,
though poor and q servant No, no; Let
us take down that bed, for so. per-
chance, we shall ease our minds,
though believe that the room Is filled
with demons"
Late In the afternoon the judge and
Don Diego, with the men Of the escort,
went to the grand room. It was bright,
as Is the wont Of windowed rooms aft
er great tragedies. Servants began to
take the bed to pieces, trembling with
superstitlous horror. When the eanO.
py was removed, everybody was petri-
fed and felt turned to icy rigidity.
Concealed in the top was nest Of ia
rent:::!as: They scattered as disturbed,
these demons in reality. and the men
ran out Of the room, fearing them.
Here was the long kept secret Of the
fatal room. These creatures had de.
scended at night and killed their vic.
Tins and then returned to their nest in
the canopy.
All was duly set down by the Judge
and attested by nil the witnesses. And
this closed the grewsome chapter OF
horrors at the hacienda of Valverde.-
