Whooping Cough.


The whooping cough had caught
many children of certain neighbor-
hood. A certain mother of a bright
little boy had many fears lest her son
should take 1t. She had talked and
worried about it so much that her boy
was almost afraid to leave her side.
One night after the little fellow had
been put to bed donkey was being
driven past the house, and when right
in front of the house he began with
that terrible voice of his. 'Hee-haw,
hee-haw."
With shrek the little boy leaped
from the bed, screaming at the top Of
his voice: The whooping cough is
coming, the whooping cough is coming.
mammal"
He didn't catch the whooping cough
that time.

A japanese Lullaby.

A japanese Lullaby.
Sleep, little pigeon, and fold your wings,
Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes:
Sleep to the singing Of mother-bird swing
ing.
Swinging the nest where her little one
lies.
In through the window moonbeam
comes,
Little gold moonbeam with misty
wings;
AL silently creeping, it asks ''1s he sleep
ing. r
Sleeping and dreaming while mother
sings?"
Way out yonder see star,
Silvery star with tinkling song;
To the soft dew falling hear it calling,
Calling and tinkling all the night long.
But sleep, little pigeon, and fold your
wings.
Little blue pigeon with mournful eyes;
Am l not singing? See. I am swinging.
Swinging the nest where my darling
lies.

struck me as agreeing with all had

sistent purpose. How easily such a
man must have become subject to the
resolute Steinhardt,

ing over the government to Cuba, that the officers consider the whole situation very serious.
 It Is pretty well understood that Sem ator T. c. Platt, senior senator from New York, will succeed himself. His many years experience in the Senate has made him one of it's most brilliant and useful members. Once in a while news from the Empire State comes here to the effect that the senator is getting old. Any one to see him here would laugh at this. What he lacks by reason of age is more than made up by his great experience. A younger man might fill his seat, but not his place. He is a grim veteran of many hard fight, and he se- cures for his constituents with care an effort what a young successor would lose after hard battle. The Senate is for the veterans. Washington and the regular organization could not afford to lose T. c. Platt. In this connection 1 may say it is also understood that Benj. Odell will succeed himself. The Roose- welt clique in his state will not dare to oppose him. Odell will succeed himself while in office on every side. He has been resolute, fearless, forceful governor and cannot be criticized. His removal of Guden, sheriff of Kings county has dem onstrated his inflexible will.
 There is Title chance for the House bill repeating war revenue taxes. It has been found to- be so loosely drawn and defec- tive that the Senate finance committee may report an entire substitute for the measure. It is not the purpose of the committee to change the intention of the bill to repeal all the war taxes, but only put it into language that will carry out that intention. The most serious de- feet is in the tobacco schedule, which in the form passed by the House would not only remove the war tax, but in all probability would also reduce it below the rate which existed before the pas- sage of the House bill.
 It provides that the tobacco section of the war revenue act and the amend ments to it by the law of last March shall be repealed, and that in lieu of the tax of !2 cents per pound now imposed by law on manufactured tobacco stuff etc, the rate shall be 6 cents a pound The reduction made by the act of last march, however, was not accomplished by specific amendment of the tobacco section of the war revenue act.
