Uncle David's Summer Boarders.

We've been takn' summer boarders-they
come down a week ago
Thought we'd make Il little extra, kind OF
on the side. you know
Had a piece put in the paper. SOS to let
the people. see,
Jest what kind Of commodations we
could give them-ma an me
Purity soon we got letter from some
people up in town.
Sayin' they had read about us, and they'd
bring the children down.
Ma and me done lots of pldnnin' when
we'd got the bargain made.
AS to how we'd use the money that the
summer hoarders paid;
| says: Ma. you've got to spend it buyin'
clothes n things YOU need
But she snook her head decided and she
answered. NO. indeed,
You've been wantin new buggy n n.
barn needs rootin', too
| won't touch single penny, but | leave
it all fer you
There is purity Mrs. Plimley, with her lit
tie bits of feet,
That somehow you're always seem. and
her smile awful sweet.
And there's Plimley with his golf sticks
n his coat as red as blood
And their little darlin' daughter like a
jest in the bud.
And besides them three. another-it I'd
saw him first ] vo"
We'd of took no summer boarders and
we'd still be happy now
First a wheel run off the wagon, smashn'
things all up. but oh
Little Willie didn't do it, He's so inno-
cent, you know
Then we found the turkeys crippled-hit
with stones. II sticks n things
Couldn't blame sweet little Willie-all he
hasn't is the wings,
There's a dozen broken winders. n inc
pump all out of gear.
And the chickens run fer cover since dear
little Willies here.
Gates, somehow. keep comm open, so the
pigs go tearin' loose
n II II
to beat the deuce,
Guess our fruit'I be failure from the
way it's droppin down
Lord, | wish these summer boarders had
to hurry back to town.
Barn most caught fire Monday-burned a
ton of hay, but oh
Little Willie never done it! He's too good
for that you know.
Worst thing happened, though when
Plimley, with his red coat on. went
To the pasture where the cattle had been
left to browse about;
lie was busy knockin' golf balls when our
Jersey bull caught sight
Or that coat and came a-tearin down the
| hill with all his might
There was bags and golf sticks fyin'-
with a man up in the air
Little Willied be an orphan II the fence
had not been there.
Well. the doctors very hopeful-thinks
I he'll pull the patient through
He has bruises most all over and a brok-
en- rib or two
And they say I'll have to settle-itll be
d whoppin' bill.-
We've got through this kind of business
me and ma have had our fill!-
/ don't wish these town folks blasted
that you know, 'ud be sin,
But I've got "A big sign painted, No

Bryan the Alarmist.

Since Bryan came upon the political
stage he has been consistently an
alarmist. He began during his brief
congressional career by joining Roger
@. Mills in warning the country against
the .robber tariff which was threat
ening to make the American people in
dustrial slaves. In the campaign of
1892. his voice reverberated across the
prairies in appeal for the abolishment
of this awful agency of ruin. The
Democracy won the campaign, the
tariff was revised, and the country's
industries and finances went to the
lowest ebb known in decades. So much
for the first alarm he sounded upon his
police whistle.
In the next campaign the Nebraskan
statesmen forged to the front by virtue
of his voice and a stolen metaphor and
declared that the hard times were due
to the decentralization of silver and un-
less the unlimited coinage of that
metal was authorized at the ratio of
16 to the ruin of the country was GER
| tain and everybody but a few gold
| barons would starve at once. The
The triumph of Republicanism, fol-
| lowed. as was pledged the people, by
| the passage of the Dingley tariff and
| the passage of the gold standard law,
| has given the nation the greatest
prosperity in it's history. So much for
William J. Bryan's second wall of
warning and alarm.
| Now. in the campaign of 1900. he has
repaired his whistle and it is sounding
another alarm. He stands upon a plat
form which declares that Imperial
| ism. is the paramount issue He.is
blowing the poor old whistle harder
than ever, and tells the people that the
declaration of Independence. the con-
stitution. sthe flag. civil liberty and
even the, republicfitself are in great
and imminent. danger. He even fears
the con1ingsae Of an empire" And so

The Coming Of Cuban Independence.

It is only question of months before
an independent government is in oper-
alton in Cuba and the last American
soldier is withdrawn from the shores of
that island. While in Washington, last
week, General Leonard Wood had most
gratifying reports to make as to the
condition of the island and the rapid
progress made toward fitness for self
government. AS a result, there is no
doubt that before another year has
passed the Cubans will be left to gov
ern themselves. Even now there are
fewer than 5000 American troops on the
island to assist General Wood in the
al convention will be called in the fall
| to be followed by the election of a
president and legislative bodies, and
upon their installation the American
rule of the island will cease. No doubt,
1.-THE American constitution will be
closely followed as model.
After independence. what? 1t may
be that self-government will not prove
a success and that the strong hand of
the United. States will be needed on the
island. But the pledge of April 20. 1898,
must be kept and the opportunity IF
self government given the Cuban peo-
pie. Most Americans believe that
sooner or later the annexation of Cuba
will come about. 1t is inevitable that
the future population of Cuba will be
largely American and it will be strange
if the island does not ask for
annexation since it would give
the island as much lib
|erty as independence will give it,
and more privileges and benefits. But
the movement for anneXations should
not be forced. 1t should come ercm
the island itself and we believe it will
come in the natural course of events.
And when Cuba askes for annexation
there will be no note of hesitation in
the favorable answer given. In the
meantime, the pledge of independence
must be kept, and the world will watch
with much interest the birth of the
island republic.

The Boston Herald calls attention
to a serious kind of calamity that New
England is too frequently called upon
to encounter. namely. that of fires in
the woods such as ran through many
acres on Cape Cod, last week. Maine
has many experiences of this kind and
the loss has been enormous. Some
times these fires are set by sparks from
railroad trains, sometimes by hunters,
and in this case berry pickers are sup
posed to have been the offenders. 1t
is perpleXng to devise a means for
their prevention. They might be easily
suppressed in their beginning but the
chances are that no one will be at hand
to undertake the work, and when they
get under headway the task becomes

section than in the West, but the wood

Aside from the more immediate utility
as we'll as the beauty of our forests
they are needed to contribute to the
protection of the land against both
droughts and freshets. If it is possible

la.o.,he Frozen Zone.

In the journey toward the far North
of Mrs. Peary and her little daughter
there is a touch of nature that makes
the whole world kin. Every American
heart wishes success to the Wind
ward" and happiness to those concern
ed in the voyage and in the former
chapters of effort, endurance and cour7
age which had led up to it. Mrs.
Peary expects to find her husband well
and either ready to return successful
or to remain another year for final
advance to the pole She goes into the
frozen zone alone, with a faith and
daring which is thrilling to contem-
plate. The sadness of her journey lies
in the fact that she must tell Lieut..
Peary of the death of their second
daughter. born shortly after his de-
parture, two years ago.
For decade. Lieut.. Peary has been
doing his Arctic work. and the records
Of science and discovery show how
great have been his achievements.
Whether or not he reaches the pole,
that great geographical prize of the
ages, it is certain that his accomplished
work will take foremast rank in the an
