When the allied forces entered the Brit
ish legation compound in Pekin, we are
told, they were amazed at the appearance
presented by the rescued legationers. Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British minister,
was freshly shaven and attired in immac-
ulate tennis fannels; United States Min
lister Conger was equally we'll groomed;
the women wore dainty. summer garments.
This was as it should be-a plucky gar
rison bearing itself CALAMITY and with

pathetic second glance which revealed to
the rescuing troops that the legationers
were pitifully thin and pale and haggard

they looked like a company of invalids.''

SEPTEMBER SONG.

Oh. let US all remember
September now is here;
The golden rod is blowing 4.
And glowing far and near; :
The Bob White blows his whistle,
The thistle sheds its fur
While ripens fast the chestnut =
The best nut in a burr.
The bloom is on the cider.
The spider grins and gaSDs.
And meath the garden wicket
The cricket romps and rasps: q
The gobbler's brightly beaming
And dreaming on one leg. rri
The busters exodusted
And busted on the peg.
The orchards red and yellow
With mellow, juicy fruit
Oh, hear the partridge drumming
And stunning on his lutte.
The air is blue and hazy.
The daisy says goodby.
And shines to clad the pumpkin
The pumpkin moon of pie.
The squirrels gayly tripping
And skipping on the rail:
The bathing suit Is hanging
And banging on the nail. =,
The smile upon the crulier
Ne'er duller CLOVIS and beams, =
The pig begins TO garnish r
And va-nish all our dreams.
The summer girl beguiIing.
Trips smiling o er the pave,
AS lovely as when gliding
And riding on the wave.
A sriph of May enhancing,
While glancing far and near.
To make US all remember
septsmber now Is here.
