Child Memories,


Just two little pattering feet,
Just two big bright blue eyes,
And a smile like the April sunshine
Chasing the clouds from the skies.
Just little warm hand in mine,
Just a sweet little mouth to kiss,
Just sound of merriest laughter
And cup running over with bliss.
Just two little shoes In a drawer
Laid by with reverent carer
Just faded old childish portrait
And lock of golden hair.
Just few broken toys in cupboard,
Just dolly all tattered and torn,
But stab through my heart when
see them
And a pain too deep TO be borne.
Just two little feet run on before.
Swift to the happy home;
Just child on the threshold waiting
And calling TO mother to come.
Just dream Of joyous meeting
And an eager welcome home.
Just two little outstretched arms
And a glad cry. Mother is comet"

COUNT BONI OUT
French Chamber of Deputies by Vote
of 27s 10 235 Declares Election Of Gas.
telIane Was Irregular and Invalid.

Paris, Nov. AFTER an exciting de-
bate the chamber of deputies today by
27S to 235 votes invali dated the election
of Count Bonidee Cas.ellane as mem
Der of the house. The question came UP
when the committee On contested elec-
tions presented it's report without rec
ommendation. leaving the chamber to
pass on the question. Emile Chauyin
made bitter attack On Castallane, de-
claring he had been guilty of irregulari-
ties and saying the county had nomi-
mated his opponent. being of German
descent and a Dreyfusard. Castellane
replied. CHASING the charges as false.
He said he had been iiccused of buying
the election and practicing charity for
election purposes. Nothing of the kind
had ever been proved, he declared, and
closed his defense with an appeal to the
chamber to uphold his election, which.
he asserted. truly represented the will
of the Inhabitants of all cuasses in his
district. The vote was then taken.
During the debate there was much
disorder, members on the left applaud
ing the attacks on Castellane and jeer-
ing at his reply, while the counts re-
publican associates gave hearty ap-
plause., The result of the vote necessi-
tates another election in the district
represented by Count Boni.

ANNUAL REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Transports Are Best Equipped in World
for the Service and Foreign Nations
Have Asked for the Plans With
View to Improving Their Facilities
for Moving Troops on Ocean.

Washington, Nov. THE annual re-
port of General M. I. Ludington, quar-
termaster general. is q review of the
work done by his department during the
wear. The most interesting feature is
what he has to say regarding trans
norts. in view of the desire in some
quarters to dispose of them. de says
the ships are fitted up in the best possi-
bic shape for the transportation of
troops and that representatives of for
eign nations have asked for plans OF the
fittings with view to improving their
transports. The report continues:
.of the many thousands of persons
who have been transported on the yes
sells of the army transport service since
Its inception, not one life has been sac
r.ficed by reason of any fault in the Mt
tings or accommodations on the army
transports. In view Of this excellent
record, and the experience of the de-
partnent in it's futile efforts to secure
suitable commercial ships for the trans
portation of armies during the war with
Spain, and the further fact that when
withdrawn from active service trans
ports. can not be advantageously dis
posed of by sale, am firmly convinced
that. even tho circumstances could per-
NIT the withdrawal of the transports
from the regular line of service to the
Philippine islands, 1T would be wise
policy to retain sufficient number OIL
transports as a part of the equipment
OF the army to be economically cared
for and kept in such condition as to be
promptly available for any emergency
which may arise requiring the trans
portation of troops on the ocean.

Hard Coal for Chicago.

Chicago, Nov 7.--Chicago's hard coal
famine was partly relieved yesterday
when the steamer Denver, bearing 1000
tons, arrived from Buffalo. The
Denver was the first boat of the
hard coal fleet to reach this port and
will be followed by steady stream of
others until the close of the season.
Despite the movement of coal now,
however, Chicago will be short of an
thracite this winter. The last cargo to
reach port was that of the steamer
Cuba, which landed 5000 tons, June
5. This was long ago consumed and
the new supply finds all the yards in
the city cleaned out.
