l will steal out to lay--said the old yellow
hen,
will hatch out brood Of late chies,
will SO far away.
will lay ev'ry day
Aud nest securely will fix.
I'm aware II is cool, but my plume It is large |
will keep the eggs eosy and warm
And if ever they hatch,
I'll do nothing but scratch
Aud protect them from hunger and storm.
But alas The old farmer soon finds out
the nest
Yet the eggs now are unfit for food,
So he put them with more
To be sent to the store
Since twas too late To hatch them for brood
True he places them down in his budget SO
neat
With some fresh ones placed nicely on top
And he cared not whim
When the grocer paid him
II they sold to beggar or fop.
All no II he thought, 1t was little he cared
lie was void of humanites prize
Like hog-his own greed,
Urged him on TO the deed
And he goes on the same till he dies.
Now the eggs are transported and then
they are sold.
To man who is crippled and poor,
Who has ten ragged chaps
Who all jump, skip and clap
When they see him with eggs a, the door.
Now they hustle the pan and they laugh and
they joke,
They all jump. sing and dance and play
tricks,
But who knows what dread
; Enters each little head
! When they find in the eggs little chicks.
Now to all you who read--this epistlc take
heed
Do not deal out expansion this way
DO not be like old Spain
Who would kill just for gain
And who sells half hatched chicks out 70
pay.
A Just reflect back to Rome and the plebian
. home
When they went TO the lone sacred hill
o When the fugitive moaned
And the patrcian groaned;
oh return, we will aid but not kill.

THE GLORIOUS GAME.
iioys OF the 12th and 25th Cross Bats on
Xmas-25th Wins by Score OF
10 to 3.

From Manila tP. ID Tribune, December ~, 10,
Anyone who doubt that the boys in blue
love the national game and that most of
them are pretty expert at that glorious sport
should have witnessed the 'pug of war"
upon the diamond at Panique on Christmas
Day between the Twenty fifth Infantry
team and the boys of the Twelfth Infantry.
This was the second game played between
these two teams and from start to finish the
game on Christmas Day was cxcitingly in.
terestng. Neither team is an entirely new
organization nor are any of the members of
either amateurs.
Owing to the roughness of the diamond
several errors occurred, which otherwise
would not have happened.
"Rooters" for both sides added much to
the excitement of the game.
In detail the game was as follows
Thompson of the 2sth, pitched a fine
game, the I2th making only three hits off
his pitching. Ford, his new catcher, caught
his first game and did very we'll. Grimes
had five strike outs 20 his credit, so he hns
not lost his old time form.
The score was close, S to 3 in favor of the
2sth up to the 9Th inning when the 2sth
with two hits combined with three errors OF
the Ia tn made il and after that the zsth
were on ''easy street, In their half of the
9th they got two more on two hits and two
errors.
The I7th did not quit, however, but with
two bases on balls and an error by 2sth or
first base IL looked as if they were good fol
several scores but one man struck out,
Myers was caught on steal to second by a
pretty throw by Ford and the last man ou
Crawford to first and it was all over.

correspondence OF the Argus
Washington, ID. c., Feb. TO, Iooo.-That
English diplomacy is away ahead of English
military geueralship has once more been pro-
ven by the Niearaguacanal treaty. sent to the
Senate this week, which instead of being
received with shouts of approval, as Mr..
Mckinley seemed to think it ought 10 be,
has been met with stern protests, even from
supporters of the administration. Although
England is in a position where ii would
have agreed to almost anything proposed by
this Government, which is almost its only
friend among the nations of the world, the
English diplomats got exactly what they
wanted. TO reduce the treaty TO every day
language England graciously agrees that we
shall build the Nicaragua Canal with
American money, provided that she and all
other nations shall have equal use of the
canal both in peace and that the U. S.
agrees never to fortify either end of the
canal. Unless many Senators change their
present attitude. this treaty will not be rati-
fed, unless its present jog-handled features
are cut out The sentiment in both branches
of Congress, regardless of party, favors the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal by this
Government, provided that we have abso-
lutte control of il, which means, of course,
the right to close it to our enemies in time
of war.

After all their bluff and buster. the Re
publican Senators are afraid of going before
the country squarely on the issue of the
single gold standard. and this week the
majority Of the Finance Committee re-
ported the old international bimetallism
bamboozler as an amendment The amend
ment, which merely says that the bill is not
intended to place any obstacle in the way
of the accomplishment of international BIZ
Ele,allism, is too palpable humbug to fool
any man, but it is intended to ease the
consciences of such so-called Republican
bimetaIlists as enator Chandler, who was
instrumental in getting the amendment re-
ported, and to give such western Silver Re-
publicans as care TO take advantage of il an
opportunity to sneak into the gold camp

While no official statement is forthcom-

absence from Paris Of those in control OF
her foreign policy, the following, emanat
ing from an official associated with the
French government, expresses the views
OF the ioreign Office at the present june
tuie:
I'VE have no revenge to seek i'll China
and we have no intentions to demand such
recumpense in the shape Of indemnities
us will create resentment against foreign
ors. Our policy will be one Of liberal edu
cation, the effort TO teach this great mass
OF people to trust and regard Europeans
ia>orably. In the end TINS may result in
the advancement of civilization for the
one and commercial prosperity for the
others. Those who think that a changes
OF government will change the character
Of the Chinese people have not broad
understanding OF the deep seated IDEAS
which centuries have bred in them. To
make radical upheayal Of their form OF
government just at this time would do
more harm than good. We snail attempt
to find suitable person Of liberal ideas
towards foreigners who will assume the
reins of government Our position follows
the identical lines of the United States in
| nearly every instance. Commercially We
| Wish the broadcast international construc-
ton To be placed ON foreign privileges,

try declared an open door at the time it
| did, France herself would have done 50.

They Want Their CuAtOmers to
Join Them.

Portland, Aug. Eft is now a con.
coded fact that Travelling Mems Day
at the Elks' Carnival, to be held in
Portland, will be one of the greatest
attractions of the fair. September s
has been set as Travellers Day. and
every travelling man in the northwest
will be in line in one of the most
unique and instructive parades ever
witnessed on any street. Each travel.
ing man will be decked out in a linen
buster, wearing white crush hat with
blue ribbon band and carrying an
umbrella. There will be at least 200
OF them in line. There will also be
numerous floats, each representing the
different centuries, from the 18th to
the present date, with elaborate cos
tunes suited for the occasion. They
will also show the different methods
by which they travel, including the
pack mule, stage coaches, buckboards,
freight trains and Pullman cars. The
hotel Accommodations which they have
to contend with will not be left out of
this parade. 1t is the desire of the
travellers and also of the houses they
represent, that all of their customers
and friends be present that day so they
can see the travelling man in his every
day trials, showing both the good and
bad OF their trips. The boys are max.
ing special preparations to treat their
customers and friends in 4 royal way.
