Tramping a country road!
A.faring in gypsy fash ion
With never q gypsy's load;
Set free as the winds in springtime,
Heart.glad as the day is long,
Rejoicing in rain or sunshine,
In tune with the robins song.
Oh, the things one sees a.tramping!
The green, wild things that grow,
The CLEAN OF the tall red lily,
The tangle OF ferns below;
The gay, glad life OF the tree.tops,
The shadows that slowly fall
The long, still slope OF the meadows,
And Gods sky over all

FIRE PLUG STREAM
DRENCHES A HOTEL.
Pebble in Valve Prevented Water
Being Shut Off-Early-M Morn
ing Surprise for Guests.

A defective fire plug at the northwest
corner Of Seventh and Pine streets caused
much excitement early this morning. Water
from the four-inch plug shot sixty feet in
the air and across the street. and drenched
the Golden Lion Hotel. which suffered con-
siderable damage in consequence.
The shower was caused by little stone
which worked its way under the valve OF
the water plug, effectually preventing for
twenty minutes the turning of of the
water.
George vassel, q negro driver of q sprin-
king wagon, attached the hose OF his
wagon to the plug shortly before O'Clock
this morning. His wagon filled rapidly and
overfowed. The driver vainly attempted
to check the flow. The valve would not
turn, and. as the driver detached the hose.
he was drenched with stream OF water
which shot sixty feet In the air. Thousands
of gallons of water were hurled across the
street through the windows and on the roof
of the Golden Lion Hotel, which Is four
stories high. There were forty-four per-
sons in the hotel, and those who occupied
west rooms were caught by the streams
which spurted through the windows. The
guests made hurried exit and closed the

Berlin. July s.-Although the United
States Ambassador Andrew ID. White. quite
recently denied to the correspondent of the
Associated Press that he intends to resign.
the correspondent now learns from close
personal friend of Mr.. White that he will
resign next year upon reaching his 10th
year. Mr.. Whites decision to resign was
taken before the news of his sons suicide
yesterday reached him, but 1t is believed
that the sons death renders Mr.. Whites
decision irrevocable.

MIR. White is at present staying at Sass

fore. he was personally inaccessible to the
correspondent of the Associated Press.
Horace White of Syracuse cabled to Sec
retary Jackson early this morning the news
OF the death Of Frederick D. White, but did
not say he had committed suicide.
The correspondent, after receiving de-
tails Of F. D. Whites death, wired to Am
bassador White at 9 o'clock this morning
and has just received reply from Mrs.
White, saying:

Liberal Leader Is Extended Vote of by His Part

London, July 9-The much discussed
meeting of Liberals called by Sir Henry
Campbell- Zimmerman, the Liberal leader in
the House of Commons, with the object of
ascertaining whether he still retains the
confidence Of the party. was held at the
Reform Club TODAY and resulted in the
adoption Of vote of confidence in the lead

Liberals attended.
The Liberal-Imperialists headed by H. n.
Asquith, We're there almost to q man, but
Sir Henry Campbell -Bannerman and Sir
William Vernon-Harcourt were the only two
who received any marked recognition on en-
tering. The crowd watching the arrivals

Mr.. Asquith expressed the highest appre-

regretted that the Liberal leader in the
House had not been more outspoken in a
policy OF honest difference rather than in
an impossible attempt to reconcile differ
ences. He urged that those taking the
Views which he himself held, should be free
to express their opinions within the pale Of
the party. Mr.. Asquith then supported the
resolution of confidence in Sir Henry
