PoIIy's Comment on wildcat Scrap

From the Denver Republican.
The two wildcats in a box in baggage
room at the Union Depot had glared at
each other for n couple OF hours last even
ing before the trouble begun. All the fore
noon they had growled and the supposi-
ton is chat they had said things 10 each
other that were not complimentary. The
larger OF the two had spilled the water
belonging to the smaller one. He had
switched his tail into the others face and
in various ways had given the youngster
to understand that there was apt TO be
trouble Toward evening the Two sat in
opposite corners and glared at each other.
The latter animal about o'clock thought
II was time to make the interior OF the box

Minister conger's Safety.

While an authentic dispatch from
Minister Conger dated July IS, states
that he-was safe on that date, the mes
sage qualities his future safety on the
ability OF the allies to give prompt
succor. He. on Wednesday. was In the
British legation, which was being sub
jected to n continual bombardment OF
shot and shell, and this feature OF his
communication Is anything but reas-
surlng, but at the same time his stua-
ton is not altogether hopeless.
The above news Is confirmed by n
dispatch received in London from Sir
Robert Hart, director of the Chinese
imperial maritime customs Mt Pekin,
stating that he was safe. Former dis
patches declared that Sir Robert had
been mastered with other foreigners,
the report with great circumstantlallty
adding that he had been offered safe
conduct out OF Pekln by Chinese au-
thorities, but had declined and cour-
,ageously remained to die. This dispatch
with the one from Minister Congcr,
wholly discredits The horrible tales Of
harbaric massacres that have shocked
civilization. AS the legationIsts have
wlthstood the attack OF the fnnnticnl
boxers this long, let us hope they can
hold out until the allies rescue them
from their desperate situation.

Little Faded Flower"
The Critic: There died In Trenton,
n. j.. on the 23rd OF December, at the
age OF seventy-two. n real poet of the
people. Ellen Clementine Howard
was born In poverty. and In poverty she
lived and died. In Copcrstown, N. Y,
the home OF Fennimore Cooper, Ellen
Clcmentine Doran was born. Her
father was a calico printer. and moved
from factory town to factory town In
search of work. At the age OF seven
Ellen began her work as factory
hand. She married, when barely
eighteen. Joseph Howarth, like her
iather calico printer. Misfortunps

done In those days was necessary TO the
life Of the nation. At that time, like the
present, there was class OF rebel SYM

were called "copperheads" and but

Gus than those In the ranks OF the Con-
