WHITE FEATHER.

There is no need to mention the
name of his regiment here. That
ia secret that belongs to the army
alone.
Suffice it to say that his comrades
are proud of his name.
He should never have entered the
army at all, much less hard rid
ing cavalry regiment which had q
reputation to sustain by q yearly
tribute Of broken necks and collar
bones.
His proper vocation was that Of o
linen Diapers assistant, and he had
filled that occupation very satisfsc.
torily till one evil day he had fallen
in love with a girl, silly, shallow
girl, at whom no practical man or
boy would have taken second look.
He adored her, and she adored
soldiers. In their walks abroad
she would direct his steps toward
the Horse Guards or Wellington
barracks, that she might gaze at
the fine strapping soldiers who we're
to be seen there, and every time she

The Kissaphone.

The reason why kiss
Contains such much felicity,
Is Just because each pair Of lips
Is full of electricity. .
II flashes In the eye,
Or In smile 80 tender,
And there the lips together pressed
Produce the kiss in splond0r.
To work the kissaphone,
You do not need battery,
Nor any dynamo machine
With magnets and such matter-y;
You do not ring a bell,
Nor central call Hello-inc.
1t only wants wish, sigh
To set the thing a-going.
The kissaphone was not
Invented by an Edison;
1t has never been patented
Like corsets or a medicine.
1t don't get out OF gear
If anything Is missing;
There Is no yearly bills to pay,
No charge for extra kissing.
The kissaphone's In use
Through the whole community;
You need not be millionaire
To have the opportunity.
There's no more cost to pay
For one kiss or for twenty,
So why not push the thing along
And kisses have plenty.

The Summer Girl or Maiden Of the Sprays

o the summer girls in laces
Walk the broad delightful beach,
And the sun prints on their faces
Just the simple legend "Peach."
All the waves with glee are roaring
As they dance along the shore,
Full of JOY is their outpouring
Cause the summers here once more.
o the pillows on the briney
And tho foam is on the crest,
And the bather looks so finey
He Just parades around undressed
All the sons of Father Neptune
Frolic where eel.grasses grow,
But there's deep and dank deception
Hidden In the undertow.
O | the bather's backis burning
And the freck is on his face;
Bubbles big the surf Is churning
And the wavelets run race.
o the dainty city maiden
Screams when high the pillows grow,
And the crab with laughter laden
Grabs her by her pinkest toe.
o the shirt waists ON the girley
And the girley's on the walk,
N WI uOopAbO bh0
OF the sea she still can talk
In sweet accents most enraptured
Like the songs the wavelets sing.
And to ice-cream when tits captured
o she doesn't do q thing
o the wind blows herky-j erky
Through the moistened atmosphere,
And the maskerette is perky
With the necktie ON her ear.
o the boardwalk Is resounding
With the tunes that make US weep,
And the surf for aye is pounding
On the doorway Of the deep.
o the sun is sweetly smiling
In q reddish hottish way,
And the midway Is beguiling
The excursionistic jay.
o the tintype takers taking
All the "please-look pheasant" grins,
And the faker's busy taking
All the gapish "just-come'ins."
o | the gentleman from Goshen
Loafs with languor In the brine,
Where he dallies with the notion
That the ocean Is divine.
0 the yachts are wing.a-winging
Where the salty zephyrs blow,
And the frankfurters are singing
or their dog days long ago.
o the bait Is ON the hooklet
And the booklets on the string,
And the wee fish takes q looklet
Ere he thus begins 10 sing:
o you like to grace your table,
But can't eat bait today;
Then the fisher tells the fable
OF the fish that got away.
o we choose the summer season
Far away from all the rest;
Should you wish TO know the reason
Then the maiden's al her best.
o the waves 90 whighey-whirly
As they roll upon the sand
Mid the roar and hurly-burly
or old ocean in command.
o OF house and lands and places,
Yes, of all I'd freely give
For the summer girl in laces
Who Is just too sweet to live.
There's one spot mid life's sad clashing
Where I'd while my own away,
IT'S where the waves go splashing
With the maiden In the spray.

MAY CALL AN
EXTRA SESSION
Congress May Reconvene to
Deal With the Chinese
Situation.
MORE TROOPS NECESSARY

Rwmors Say the President Wants
to Serve In the Oricnt-Condltlons In
the Philippines Will Not Permit tho
Recall of Troops From There.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Persistent ru.
morS arc aGoat that President Mckinley
has decided to call an extra session of
congress to deal with tho Chinese situa-
ton. If war exists i'll China, growing
out of the destruction Of tho United
States and other legations, it will be
necessary to send moro troops to China.
Owing to conditions III the Philippine,
no more troops can BE- withdrawn safely.
Therefore, ;t will require authority from
congress to furnish troops
1t IS quito certain the rcconvening of
congress has been discussed, but none of
the officials here will admit it.
The situation may change ut any mo-
mcnt,and the first advances from Peking
will undoubtedly decide whether the
immediate future will bring peace or
war.
IhcrC are two possible causes for war
i'll the situation. One is the destruction
Of tho American legation or the murder
ing Of tho American minister. The
other is the action of the commander at
Taku, who ordered. his men to fire OH
the international fleet. If his action Is
sanctioned by the Peking government,
state of war exists, but if he acted
without authority and his hostile act Is
diSayowCd there may be peaceful solu-
ton of the incident. II adviccs come
from Pciing that Minister Congcr and
other Americans have been murdered
there will b. no other course open to the
administration but to sond n force strong
enough 20 bring the Chinese TO their
senses and make the lives of Americans
ns safe in China as they would be in
