II presume you win remember the

Der one day last summer | took pen
and ink and wrote down what one of
your boys ate during the day and it
proved to be: One-half apple pie, one
half pint ngooseberries with puck

seedcorn, one dozen green apples with
stems, two feet and six inches smoked
sausage, one bite Indian turnip, four
eggs, one attempt green watermelon,
one acre mothers bread, 25 cents

There are a, great many people who
do not think much of the farm as
summer resort They prefer the NOUN
tain or the seaside or the lake where
there is more dyspepsia and other So
cial advantages. They want to go
where there is more intensity of inter
est and less homemade biscuits and
dialect. They prefer te' take their sea-
son of rest some place where it is cas-
Ter to become poverty-stricken and
harder to find time to sleep In short,
they do not regard the farm as sue
cessful summer resort because they do
not think it affords enough excitement.
In this latter respect we believe they
do the farm an injustice. We remem-
Der that the first day we ever visited
a farm in the capacity of tourist we
found almost more excitement than
we could consume. It was some years
ago anu VIC OpChCN OhC ~ viz
morning by attempting to slide off
the top of corn crib on a narrow and
fickle-minded board which succeeded
in evading us just as we had begun to
slide. At 10 a. m. we climbed to the top
of three-story apple tree, became
fast and were unable to return to earth
until p. m. At p. m. we obligingly
let down the pasture bars and allowed
about $3.50 worth of live stock to wan
der at will through a poetieal field Of
golden, waving grain. At 4p. m. we fell
out of a hay NOW onto the back of a
sorrel and sad-hearted horse who
seemed at loss to understand why we
did so. At 1880 p. m. we were induced
to try to hold robust calf by the tail
, out in the barnyard. We did not think
that we could do so and were greatly
surprised, therefore, when we found
ourselves able to hold the calf not only
! in the barnyard, but. down the lane
and out into the road and up through
the gooseberry orchard and over the
corncrib and out across the cucumber
vineyard into the purple twilight.
There is always plenty of excitement
around farm, and there are no life
preservers or surf ropes to go with it
either.

FUNERALS OF MINERS
Victims of Explosion in the Cambria
Shaft Laid to Rest.

Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-one hun.
dred and fourteen are now known to
be dead from Thursdays explosion at
the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria
steel company. 1t is not probable that
this record will be swelled to any great
extent. Many funerals took place
Saturday, every undertaken in Johns
town having more than he could well
attend to. Down below quarter of a
mile the streets of Conemaugh City
were clogged with corteges.
Fifteen victims Found.
At three o'clock Saturday morning
the charred and mutilated bodies of
is victims were brought to the West
mont pit mouth and taken to the
morgue. The bodies were found in
the upper end of No right heading,
where the explosion occurred. The
bodies were all lying far in from the
point of the explosion and could not
be reached until the heading had
leen entirely cleared of the noxicus
gases. Three deaths occurred during
the night at Cambria hospital. These
were among the last living victims
who were brought out of the mine
Friday afternoon in an unconscious
condition.
Every Chamber Searched.
Another Of these is in precarious
condition. 1t was learned at the pit
mouth Saturday from mine officials
that every heading and chamber both
to the right and left of the main
Klondilie heading were penetrated
during the night and that not trace
of any dead or living victims were
found. 1t is admitted that some
might have crawled into obscure
workings in their fight from the
afterdamp which followed the explo-
sion, and these succumbed to the
fatal influence of the gas.
Ready for Work.
Mine Superintendent George T. Rob
inson was at his office early Saturday.
He said they would have the mine
ready for work by to-day. He said
there was not the slightest danger
from explosion since the original and
only one of Thursday. The mine, he
admitted, especially the section known
as Klondike, always contained gas. 1t
did not exist in dangerous quantities,
he said, and to cause an explosion some
one must have violated the rule as to
lights. Every precaution was taken to
guard against accident.
Doctors Commended.
superintendent Robinson strongly
commends the Johnstown doctors for
their bravery that saved the lives Of
dozen OF more men.
"When we made our first dash into
the mine" he said, I'VE were taking
our lives in our hands, as none knew
what was beyond in our course. The
doctors came on and followed our lead
without the slightest tremor."
Left Destitute.
Johnstown, Pa, July 14.-Friends of
the dead miners and employees who
lost their lives on Thursday have been
going over the list of dead with view
Of learning the number Of widows and
Satherless children left behind and
who will be made helpless by the catas-
trophe. According to the most reli-
able data there are ca widows and 13s
children.

Chairman Payne Makes a PROPOSE
ton to ''InsurEents."
Washington, March IA proposition
for settlement OF the controversy was
made to the opposition by Chairman
Payne Of the ways and means committee.
The plan is that the proposed reciprocity
shall not cover the present sugar crop of
the island, which is nearly harvested and
which it is feared the sugar trust has al
ready secured, that the scheme shall re-
main in force one year only, so as to cover
next years crop, and that the leaders of
the house shall enter into an arrange
ment to prevent the senate making re-
auctions in the duties below 20 per cent,
even going so far as to agree that the
house shall kill the bill If the senate fur
Their reduces the rates below 20 per cent.
This proposition was considered by
thirty-five members of the opposition in
caucus and a plan was devised for meet
Ing committee, which will probably con-
sist Of Chairman Payne and Representa-
t1yes Cannon and Dalzell. The commit

agreed upon. This is believed to be prac-
thcally the only common ground upon
which the contending forces can meet

cided to report the Hepburn bill, provid-
ing for the construction of an isthmian

port by Senator Morgan, chairman Of the

status of diplomatic negotiations with the
Central American republics concerning
the canal. He stated that the representa-
tives of this country and those of Mica
ragua and Costa Rica had met in consul
tation and had agreed upon practically all
the points to be covered in concession
treaties.
The bill authorizes the president to ac-
quire territory for right of way for q

direct the construction Of a canal Of suf-
ficient capacity to accommodate the larg-

FUNSTON PHILIPPIC
Will the Little General Be Rebuked
From Washington?
DENOUNCED AMERICAN FIL1PINos
Hint That No Reprimand Is Coming
Because Funston Sides With
Administration.
New YORK Sun soecHaI ss-vIoa.

Washington March 13.-General Fred
Funston's speech delivered at Chicago,
in which he sharply criticizes and abuses
Americans who are not in sympathy with
the military operations of the United
States soldiers in the Philippines, is re-
ceiying the earnest consideration OF the
president and secretary of war. COM
plete report Of what General Funston said
was turned out by the president to the
secretary of war. with a request that he
determine whether or not Funstons LAM
guage is deserving of rebuke.
The little Kansas generaloh has gone far
Their in upbraiding those of his fellow
countrymen who do not agree with his
views than any other recent arrival from
the Philippines. When the cable brought
| from Manila an alleged statement from
General Wheaton that certain senators
who had criticized the operations of the
army ought to be hanged for treason a
| great upriar in congress followed. The
secretary Of war Immediately cabled Cen
eral Chaffee to demand an explanation of
General Wheaton. General Wheaton very
| promptly denied the language attributed
to him: # he had not done so he would
probably have been court martialed.
General Funston has not used the
abrupt language attributed to General
Wheaton in his condemnation Of oppOn-
ents of the governments Philippine pol
| icy, but has said the same thing in a
| more diplomatic way. 1t is doubtful it
Funston will be called upon for an ex-
PLANTATION Of his language. The policy
Of this administration is to ignore viola
tions OF the articles of war by officers who
stand by the administrations policy.
This was illustrated by the censure of
General Miles for expressing the opinion
that Dewey's verdict was the correct
conclusion in the Schley case and the sub
sequent failure of the president to repri-
mand Captain Mahan, who expressed the
conviction publicly that the Ramsay Ben
ham verdict was the correct conclusion.
