The Ranks Grow Thinner.
The years slip by, tie blue ranks thin
ner grow;
With each recurrent May
Along the streets with steps less firm
they go;
And every brow is gray.
But every May the glory of the fight,
That in their youth they fought.
With fuller radiance and a steadier
light
Eliminates our thought.
They saved our land to Freedom!
What were we
But for their patriot zeal?
Let US pay homage to them; let them
The depth of debt we feel.
A few more years and all that splendid
host
OF true and earnest men,
Whose deeds and triumphs aye shall
be our boast
Shall pass from mortal ken.
But every May while lives the. land
they saved
Men shall their deeds retell,
The pains they bore, the tolls and dan
gers braved.
Their faith invinciblei
Selected.

TIE parade will take place on Sept. IL
This has not been formally promul-

is, nevertheless. foregone conclusion
The day preceding September 10
which will fall on Tuesday, is Perry's
Victory Day, and the battle of Lake
Erie is to be concentrated in connec-
ton with the encampment by making
the exercises naval in character. The
naval parade will take place that day
and, as well, sham naval battle on
the same great lake on which Perry
won his fight on September 10, 1873
The land parade, without question
will be on the day following, Wednes-
day, September IL. Never has the

foreign markets, the st. Paul "Pion-
eor-Press' gives unqualified support to
the Babcock programme of 20 revising
the Dingley tariff law as to abolish
protective duties on foreign productA
competing with the products of the
iron and steel trust Out-Heroding
Herod. the .'Pioneer-Press' is prepared
to go much farther than the Babceck
bill in the direction of tariff reform,
for it urges that
Every consideration of party policy
demands that the Republican party
shall promptly deprive its enemies OF
a weapon which may easily become
powerful and effective in their hands
that it shall completely dissociate the
protective tariff from the trusts by the
speedy adjustment of all duties on
trust-made articles"
If this wholesale scheme of tarin
revision were to be carried out the re-
suit would be to practically place the
country on a free-trade basis, for there
are very few industries which are not
to some extent in the hands of trusts
Therefore, to repeal protective duties
on all foreign articles competing with
American trust-made articles would
virtually involve the repeal of all pro-
tective duties. What, then, becomes of
the concerns operating outside and in
dependent of the trusts? There are
some thousands of such concerns
which are engaged in supplying the
home demand and do little or nothing
in the way of export business. For
example, the wooden trust. Only a
small proportion of the manufacturers
of wooden textiles are incorporated in
to the American Wooden Company.
Shall all these mills be deprived of
protective duties merely for the sake
of Furnishing com bination with which
they are in no way connected? Shall
the iron and steel producers outside OF
the big trust be forced to close down
their mills and discharge their work.
men in order that free-traders and
tariff thinkers may make the gallery
play of taking away from the billion
dollar trust the protection which II
frankly states it does not need and
does not want? That sort of claptrap
would not disturb the billion-dollar
trust a particle. AS a matter of fact
it would play into the hands of the
big trust by driving a large number
OF non-trust concerns out of business.
But how about the non-trust concerns
in all the different lines of industrial
oduction-concerns which employ a
greater number of wage-earnerS than
do the trusts? Republican newspapers
of the "Pioneer-Press'' stripe should
think of these things before plunging
heels-over-head into the antitrust
tariff reform puddle.

The latest fad of critics. the New
York Press says, is to rebel against
the names of months. They point out
that 1t is absurd for Europeans and
Americans of today to dedicate one
sixth of the year to the memory OF
Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name
third after heather gods and god
desses, to have two months of doubt
full nomenclature, and to designate the
remaining four by misleading numer-
fcals, September being obviously ninth

Little Girls Army Mascot.

One evening toward the close of the
war, while union soldiers lay in camp
on a hillside near the Staunton river,
in Virginia, the cry of Halt! Who
goes there?" from a sentry started
lounger to his feet, and several of the
more curious ran to the guard to find
out what the trouble was. A minute
later all knew that the night visitor
who had been challenged was no en-
envy. A little girl about 10 years OF
age, holding a white kitten in her
arms, came forward into the light OF
the fires, conducted by two soldiers,
who had told the sentry to pass her
in, and looked as proud as if they were
escorting a queen. The whole regiment
gathered including the colonel himself,
to look at the child and hear her tell
her story. A very short story it was
scarcely a paragraph-but there was
matter enough for a full chapter. She
lived near by, with her father, who
was sick and poor; and they were
northerners, she said, and union
folks Her mother was dead, and her
brother had been killed while fighting
in the federal army. She wanted to
give something" and, when the union
soldiers came, she thought she would
bring her pet kitten and present it to
the colonel. The colonel took the lit
tie girl in his arms and kissed her,
and said he was not a bit ashamed OF
his weakness. He accepted the kitten
with thanks, and its innocent donor
was calamity escorted to her humble
home. loaded with generous contribu-
TONS The white kitten was adopted
by the regiment, but continued to be
the property and special pet of the
colonel, and when the war was over
he took it home with him. Like the
white lamb that stayed and fed with
the victor after the battle of Antetam,
the little creature, during its short but
stirring army life, was a daily inspira-
ton of better feelings and thought in
the presence of all that is worst-a liv-
ing flag of true cleaning among the
thunder clouds of human passion.

Wichita, Kas., June 9. - The
most disastrous storm which has
ever visited Oklahoma prevailed in
Kay County last night. A tornado
struck Billings, Eddy and Tonka-
wa, and its influence covered
stretch of country ten miles wide
and thirty-six miles long, destroy
ing towns, farmhouses and crops.
The financial loss will exceed $780,

At Eddy three persons were
killed;

Hugh Prather, nose broken.
Lud Williams, head crushed.
Howard Humagan, head badly
crushed.
Rnby Higenbothen, face crushed
and internal injuries.
A. ID. Evans, leg broken.
A feature of the storm was the
extent of the territory it covered.
Sweeping down from the Kansas
state line and covering about fifty
miles in width, the rain, wind and
hail swept over the country as far
south as old Oklahoma.
The rain simply fell in torrents.
The fury of the storm centeied in
tornado about 6:30 p. IN.
The twister took a southeastern
ly course and was most disastrous
on belt of ten miles square in
Eastern Kay county.
The little town of Eddy was
struck. and, of the ten or fifteen
buildings in the place, all were
leveled to the ground except the
railroad station and elevator.
One unknown man was killed
and several persons slightly injur-
ed by flying debris.
The track of the tornado between
this place and Tonkawa, a distance
of about eight miles. was laid
} waste. Five farm houses with
, barns and outbulldings were blown
away, but the occupants all escaped
! without injury.
The fine fields of wheat in the
i, midst of harvest were laid waste.

. terrible force upon Tonkawa.

I houses were scattered like so much
