Such a beautiful nap he has had! year
Is none too long for him. Hark! Whars

She gave her ribbons hasty pat,
And smoothed her apron down.
A thump, a bang on the floor above
s'He's up" she cried, with look Oh love.
A bang and a thump-and then
Down over the stairs with bound ne
came,
And shouted, and Rugged the dear old dame
Till her cap fell off and her breath was
gone.
He called for his drum and he called for
his horn,
He danced and whistled and laughed ana
sung,
and raised such a breeze that the flags
he flung
From the windows tapped again.
TITS only my Fourth good Dame July,
so the wondering neighbors that hurried
by,
With motherly pride explained
s.He is just little bit noisy and wild.
I must confess; but the dearest child!
MY others are all of them gentle and mild,
But children differ-its always So
And boys will be boys, of course, you
know"
And down on her motherly knees she went,
And helped him to fire off his gun, content,
Though her fingers were burned and her
apron rent,
And her ribbons all spotted and stained.
1T was early dawn when his fun began;
From garnet to cellar he romped and ran
Through the neat little, sweet little house.
Tie strewed the parlor with tangle of toys,
The walls reechoed with riot and noise;
He broke her china and rumpled her hair,
And wore all her pretty new carpets bare;
And the sun went down, and the stars
came out
To see what the racket was all about;
And at twelve o. the clock with final
shout
He frightened the midnight mouse.
~S"The dearest childr said Dame July,
And she looked at the clock with heart
felt sigh,
AS she righted her cap with care.
"'I hope he has had a good time, the dear,
And-will stay asleep for at least a year!
The sweetest children sometimes, find,
Are a trifie wearing to the body and mind,
For boys will be boys, and I'm rather glad
My Fourth was nly-boy-I-had!'
And sleepily nodding her dear old head,
'tI guess l had better be going to bed
I'm a little bit tired-myself!'' she said
And went to sleep in her chair!

Primary and the two lowest classes
in the Grammar. The other for the
seven higher classes. Miss Swinton
was the principal of the lower school
and Mr.. Sutphen the principal of the
higher. Two such popular teachers
had never been known in Abingdon,
strict and firm yet gentle and kind,
popular with everyone and univer-
sally respected. Miss Swinton always
had an adoring circle of girls, yes, and
boys, too, around her at recess-time.
To-day there was more than the
usual crowd-but they stood a little
way back, and only the Thompson
twins leaned on her chair, one on
each side of her, and fingered her
chain and rings and looked up ador-
ingly into the kind brown eyes.
Dear Miss Swinton, was that story
you told us yesterday all true, every
bit of it?" asked Dottie.
Sand is the little girl going to die
if she can't get away by the salt
water?" cried Tottie.
''And did her father die down in
sCtlba?"
''And did her mother go out to
nurse her father and catch the fever
and die. too?"
''And is her auntie sick and lame
so she can't work for money, but
only get home and clothes for work
ing for that stingy old Barker?"
Ssh! Sh! Dottie-you muslin t"-be-
gan Miss Swinton, but Dottie hurried
out her question so quickly she had
no time to say any more.
''And is her uncle way up in the
KIondike, and-and-"
Then both chimed in together:
"And is he all the relation she's
sgot, and don't they know where he is
and will she die-certain sure-be-
fore they could possibly find him?"
Miss Swinton had been bobbing her
head in answer to all these questions
so fast that she looked a good deal
like a Chinese mandarin-and now
when the twins stopped to take
breath she answered.:
eyes, yes, my dears, it is all true,
every bit of it. Dear little Sallie Man
son is so very, very weak that the
doctor says she can never get well
unless she can get away for month
at least to the seashore and have
good, nourishing, wholesome food,
and her poor aunt is almost distract
ed, for though the hospital people will
fnd her home for a week or per-
haps two, there would be no one to
take care of her, and two weeks
would not be long enough"
Then the twins Strengthened up and
walked away without even stopping
to beg for kiss, and every one OF
Miss Swinton's admirers followed
them, and Miss Swinton sat there
Hooking after them with a queer little
half-puzzled smile.
81 wonder what bee those children
have got in their bonnets now," she
zsaid to herself.

Washington. Oct. 10.-William H.
Slayton, the New York attorney who
some time ago asked to be allowed to
represent Admiral Sampson before the
Schley court of Inquiry and whose re-
quest was denied bysthe court, today
presented a letter to the court ~on be-
half of Sampson again asking as coun-
sci for Sampson to be allowed to ap-
pear in court. FIFE asks that he and
his associate, E. S. Thrall, be permit
ted to appear before the court and be
given facilities which will enable them
to defend Sampson from attacks upon
his honor and good name, which the
attorneys allege had been made upon
the admiral by Schley's counsel.
Quotes From the Records.
Slayton quotes from the records OF
the court to show that counsel for
Schley accuses Sampson of conduct
ing blockade with vessels as great
as that selected by Schley, and of per
mitting the Colon to remain for an in
definite time after his (Sampson's)
arrival, in full sight of his squadron
without making an effort to destroy
her. The claim is advanced thai
these attacks were made covertly ant
under the name of argument, and af
ter such argument had been INDUCED
in. "The question at issue had beer
voluntarily withdrawn after full op
portunity had been taken to accuse
| Sampson"
| A reply was sent to Slayton to the
effect that Sampson was not part,
to the inquiry and that he would BIZ
notified when the court considered
him as interested.
