BACK FROM

BACK FROM MOLLIE'S.
well, Mother, she's changed some,
has Mollie,
Mostly in looks I allow,
But she aint quite SO spry and so jolly,
An the's a few wrinkles now in her
brow.
She's Twin in style tho l tell ye,
Carriage am ho'sses an SIGH.
Her husbands a swell lookin' fellow,
ToFable handsome, an rich
Got a million or two now | reckon,
AM Mollie, she's spendin 1t wild,
But, dye know, I'd give half O my
homestead
Eff we jes' had her back here-a child.
1t amt that /, don't think she's happy,
She says she is-meltbe it's so,
But she's a different eye-not 81
snappy --
An clear as it was long ago.
AM her voice it don't ring like it used
ito ,
When she was a. laughin at me
Eatin' pie with my knife or a drinkin'
From them new tangled wash bowls
you see
For cleanin' yer fingers at table,
To keep from yer clothes gittin' s'iled,
An, Mother, she don't laugh so hearty
AS she did when we had her--a child.
She's runnin considerable to furrins,
Got a French maid, mebbe two,
Coin out evenin's to germans,
Teachin' her kids parley o
Grub's pretty nigh all new tangled,
Lii green p1ums ON TIL side.
An, Mother, / jes' Like ITO strangied,
An / coughed an l sneezed an | cried
When 1 tried to eat suthin' called
curry.
TIL dogding1est stuff ever made, n
I jes' spit 1T out in a hurry, %
| An didn't eat much-I was 'fraid.
An she aint readin' much in her bible,
Et least i cont think that she does,
For I low ct she'd hardly be li'ble
To read much, from tn time ct n was
When she'd come in % nights from tn

That's what she called 'em to me,
Butt guess they was higher to hoorays
From TIL one that she give AM I gee
Yes, Mother. she's changed some /

She kissed me, but tn kiss was clean
spilled
BY I'll dope that she had on her red

Little Beneficial Effect as q
Result Of the Proclamation
of Amnesty.

MANILA, Sunday, Aug. 12.-Reports
from the Visayas islands show that
there has been increased activity
among the insurgents there during the
last six weeks. The American losses
in the island of Panay last month were
greater than in any month since Janu-
ary last.
General Mojica in Leyte, and Cen
eral Lucban in Samar, are harrassing
the garrisons, shooting ainto the towns
during the night and ambushing small
parties, firing and then retreating upon
the larger bodies. The rebels possess
an ample supply of ammunition and
are organized to considerable degree.
The Americans have garrisoned three
towns on Samar island, two Of which
shelter tenth of the original inhabi-
tants, who suffer from the continual
''sniping" Of the rebels from the sur.
rounding hills. The third is without
any native inhabitants, the rebel out
posts, mile away, preventing their
return to their homes. General Luc-
ban Furnishes the islanders who have
any relations with the Americans.
Cebu is likewise disturbed.
When amnesty was proclaimed it
practically was without effect, and the
expectation that the proclamation would
accomplish much before the expired
time is daily Diminishing.

O. P. Huntington, president Of the

died at his camp, Pine Knot, IN the
Adirondacks, about midnight.
Apparently well on retiring at II
o'clock he was taken suddenly with a
choking spell, which was quite COM

thought to be serious, but he became
worse. AS soon as the seriousness Of
the attack was realized, messenger
was dispatched to the neighboring
camp Of Governor Lounsberry for a
doctor, and he was on hand in half an
hour. Mr. Huntington died without

his people. He said he would like

LONDON, Aug. 15.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war office, under date of
Pretoria, Aug. 13, as follows:
Kitchener reports from Schoolplaab,
eight miles east of Ventersdorp, that
Dewet blew up three of his wagons.
Six British prisoners who escaped from
Dewet's camp state that Mr.. Steyn is
confnad in the camp under surveil-
lance, and that Dewet was forced to
abandon his ammunition and 80 horses.
They also confirm the report that Me-
thuen captured one Of Dewet's guns
and shelled the main convoy effec-
lively. Ian Hamilton telegraphs that
he hopes to be at Blaauwabank today
with his main body. Mahon's mounted
troops are pushing on to the westward"
Another report from Lord Roberts Of
the same date says:
"Methuen and Kitchener still follow
ing Dewet and Steyn yesterday reached
Modderfontein, 10 miles east of Ven.

Dewet's rear guard.

There was an atmosphere of acute
suspense in the state, war and navy de-
partments through the early hours Of
the day. It is generally recognized
that the campaign in China is rapidly
approaching a critical stage. The latest
News From the American Advance,
which inferentially included the forces
Of Great Britain, Japan and Russia,
made 1t seem probable that the word
"Pekin" might be flashed over the
wires at any moment. The interna-
tional advance guard, arguing from the
progress it already has made, must be
by this time close to the point on the
road where China will elect to make
her last stand in defense Of her capital,
unless at the last moment she chooses
the part Of discretion and comes to the
terms already laid down by the United
States and tacitly agreed to by the
other powers. Thus the officials here
momentarily are expecting one Of two
