on's first. While l sat on the
counter looking at things, saw
the incest krife-four blades
and gimlet! | wanted it the
first minute, and the longer l
looked the more | wanted it.
1 had money enough to buy 1t,
if I didn't buy anything for
baby: so at last l took it. I
thought I'd call it buying for
Laurie; but 1 could use it just
the same. Well, when L show.
ed it to mother, she said it was
a, very nice knife, but there
was little look on her face
that made me feel queer inside.
She said baby was too little to
use it, for he'd cry to have it
OPP ened, and cut himself, if it
was open.
'Yes'm, but thought he'd
like it when he gets big enough,
1 told her, It's just the thing
for a boy like me to use.'
"Sbe and father looked at
each other-the kind of look
that makes you think it means
something, only you don't know
what-and then she said:
&" Well, that will be a long
time to wait; so I must wrap it
in tissue paper and lay it away
in my drawer, where it will
keep bright. It's Laurie's pres.
emit; so it would not be right to
let any one use or spoil it be-
fore he gets it,
Wasn't I disappointed! But
I couldn't say anything, and
that knife was laid away, and
father nor mother didn't say
another word about it. This
week my birthday came. Did
you know i was eight, years
old, Mis- Grey? 1 hoped father
would get me bicycle, but I
didn't know; and what do you
think he did that morning? He
came into the room rolling a
great big wheel, mans wheel,
and said he bought it for my
birthday.
" Why I can't ride that one
l told him, and 1 felt most ready
to cry.
mo, not yet he said. cool
as you please; but you'll grow
up some day. It's just right
for me to ride now
HE and mother smiled at
each other over my head; / know
they did and I thought if we
were going to do that miser'ble
old present business all over
again, he should have it just
the way 1 did. So 1 said:
"It's very nice wheel; but
it's a good while to wait. I'll
do it up though, and lock it up
in my room so it'll keep new,
cause it's for me, and 'twouldn't
be fair for somebody else to
S poll it while I'm growing up
How he and mother did
laugh! The lump sort of went
out of my throat then. so l
could laugh, too, and father
said:
Well, that is turning the |
tables, isn't it, Jamie boy?'
"T'hen lie brought in another
wheel just right for me-he'd
only bought himself Il new one,
:oo-and we had a splendid ride
together. 1 guess he thought l
lidn't need any more preachin'

During the past week we have
heard at least half a doze mer-
oh ants complain about trade
being dull and wondering what
was the matter with Paris.
The town is all right. 1t is To-
Gated in the midst of an unusu-
ally large aud rich territory
and naturally should be one of
the busiest places in this part
of the State. The trouble is
with the men who grumble
about dull times and yet make
no effort TO improve them-too
many OF them do their advertis-
ing on little two-by-four black
boards instead of using the
newspapers of the town which
are read by practically every
family in reach of the town. If
you have real bargains and
want the'people to know about
them use printers ink instead
of a little blackboard to adver-
tise them. Trade will improve
when the proper effort-is made
by those who want trade.-Par-
is Appeal.

BULGARIA PREPARES FOR WAR.
Conflict with Roumania Seems Probable

Conflict with Roumania Seems Probable
Troops Being Modified.
Belgrade, Servia (via Semlin, Hun
garay), Aug. 24-It is reported here
that Bulgaria continues to prepare for
war with Roumania. Three divisions
are being modified and the general
staff is taking every means to insure
the readiness of the troops. A cabl-
net council was held and a message
sent to Prince Ferdinand, who Is at
Mannheim, urging him to lose no
time in returning to Servia.
Sofia, Aug. 24.-Relations between
Bulgaria and Roumania are being
strained more every day. The situa-
ton has not been improved by the
violent language that has been used
on both sides. The Roumanian gov
eminent addressed another note to
the Bulgarian authorities protesting
against the persecution of Roumanian
subjects, by the Macedonian commit
tee. The Bulgarian government re-
piled that If it were found possible to
fix responsibility for such acts on any
one the guilty parties would be pun
ished. A number of Bulgarians have
been expelled from Roumania.

patch was sent,attacking the forbidden
city. This is the inner Enclosure Of the
imperial city.
The war department has received the
following cablegram:

London, Aug. 24.-"The allies are

Bruce wires to the British admiralty
from Taku, under date of Aug. 20, add
ing that the engagement was reported
to have taken place six miles south OF

Admiral Bruce also sent dispatch,
dated Pekin, Aug. II, from the gen.
eral officer commanding there, in which
nothing is said as to the situation In
Pekin.
1t gives a partial list Of the British
casualties during the siege of the lega-
tons, the death of Captain Bernard

heavy road and forced march the naval
brigade was unable to participate In
the entry" adding that the way they
brought their gums by boat and road

which they may be proud"
Occupation of the Palace.
An official dispatch from Tientsin,
dated Aug. 20, and received at Toxic,
repeats that the Japanese occupied the
imperial palace at Pekin Aug. 16 and
says that about Aug. IL the dowager
empress and the emperor and min
listers left Pekin with 5000 troops,
their destination, it is supposed. be-
ing Singan. Pekin, being in great con-
fusion, was divided into several dis
tricts.
Half the Tartar city was placed I'M
der the control of the Japanese, and
committees of Japanese, American,
British, Russian and French officers
were appointed to maintain order. A
detachment of Japanese troops rescued
the foreign missionaries and Chinese
Christian converts who had been i'm
prisoned in the palace. Two hundred
Japanese were killed or wounded.
"To-day 1900 Americans attacked
the imperial palace" says dispatch
to the Morning Post from Pekin,

Rover Trained Them.

Mr.. r. c. w. Howard Of DuvA
county, Florida. vouched for the truth
OF the following incident, which came
under his observation: Rover, large
shaggy dog. was the occupant of a
well-kept kennel, and was frequently
accompanied by a duck, which finally
gave a supreme test to his friendship
by laying an even dozen eggs in a cor
ner OF his kennel. Rover did not re-
sent the encroachment, but, on the con-
trary, seemed to feel the responsibility
of guardianship, and at night lay with
his nose a little closer to the door Of
the kennel. while the duck sat on the
eggs in her pre-empted corner. In due
season eight ducknngs appeared, and
Rover appeared as delighted as IL he
had dug woodchuck out Of his hole
in the pasture lot. A week later the
mother duck lost her life in a COW.
kick accident. and Rover at once as
sumed the care of the web-footed or
phans, nesting them in his long hal,
at night and in the daytime swimming
with them in the pond.
