The -Four Guests.

A knock at the door, but he
Was dreaming a dream of fame,
And the one who knocked drew softly
| back
And never again he came.
A knock at the door, as soft.
AS soft. as shy as a dove,
| But the dreamer dreamed till the guest
was gone,
And the guest was Love.
A knock at the door: again
The dreamer dreamed away
Unheeding, deaf to the gentle call
OF the one who came that day.
A knock at the door: no more
The guest to that door came.
Yet the dreamer dreamed of the one whs
called,
For the guest was Fame.
A knock at the door, but still
He gave II no reply,
And the waiting guest gave CHEEKY hail
Ere he slowly wandered by.
A knock at the door; in dreams
The dreamer fain would grope
Till the guest stole on with humbled
sigh,
And the guest was Hope.
A knock at the door; twas loud,
With might in every stroke.
And the dreamer stopped in his dreaming
thought
And suddenly awoke.
A knock at the door: he ran
With the swiftness of breath,
And the door swung wide. and the guest
came In,
And the guest was Death.

Declined to Meet Victoria,

Mr.. Samuel Young was the only Irish
Nationalist member Of parliament who
accepted an invitation to the jubilee
garden party at Windsor In 1897, says
the London News. The late Queen Vic
toria had been informed that no Irish
Nationalist members were among her
guests. 1t subsequently transpired that
Mr.. Young was present, whereupon the
queen expressed her desire that he
should be presented. Search was made
for Mr.. Young, who was at last disc0v-
cred In one Of the picture galleries. He
was informed Of the queens gracious
command that he should be ushered
into the royal presence. He paused
and then, with an intense seriousness
of manner. said: mo, no. l have al

He began to call for help, but his
comrades, instead Of going to his
rescue ran away, thinking he had
fallen into the hands of the hostile ma

hold of his knee, but would not let go

The wrong way to 90 upstairs,
according to physical culture
teacher, is to lean over, contract
the chest, hoop the shoulders and
bend the whole body forward from
the waist. The person who goes
upstairs In this way will be ex-
hausted at the top of even short

done is considered a good exercise.
The head should be erect, the chest
expanded, the shoulders back, with

Visit of Gems. De Wet, Delarey and

by Enthusiasm.

The Hague, Aug. 2o.-A public re-
ception was accorded to the Boer
generals on their arrival here Tues
day from Rotterdam. Gen. Eyter, in
speech, paid tribute to their he
roic deeds. Gen Botha replied, ex-
pressing the appreciation of the Boer
officers at the warmth of their re-
ception and referring to the consola-
ton which it had been to them to
know that while they fought their
women and children were being sup
ported by Dutch generosity. The
time, added Gen. Botha, had not vet
arrived to make public all they knew,
but probably at no distant date they
would publish their account of the
war.
The visitors were escorted in pro-
cession through the town in oren
carriages, and were everywhere loudly
cheered by the crowds assembled. A
number of Beers who served during
the war formed a guard of honor for

MIMIC WARFARE.
big Battleships Begin the Fall Naval
Maneuvers ON the At
lantic Coast.

New York, Aug. 2O.-War on the
North Atlantic coast began at mid
night Tuesday and will continue until
noon on August 25. The ships of the
blue squadron, commanded by Rear
Admiral Francis j. Higginson, strung
out along the coast from New York
to Boston, will be the defense of sum-
mer resorts and important ports from
the attacks of the agile white squad
ron, which is composed of the Prairie,
the Panther and the Supply, with Com
mander John Z. Pillsbury as its COM
mander in chief.
Commander Pillsbury, with the
three ships under his command, must
try to make landing on the North At
lantic coast some time before August
rs. If he succeeds in getting through
the defending line of ships and in es-
tablishing base on shore the white
squadron will have won the search
problem"
On the other hand, the white
squadron will have been defeated if
it is caught within the range of guns
of the blue squadron, the principal
ships of which are of stronger arma-
ment than the attacking fleet. The
game will end with the accomplish
ment of one or the other of these
results. The white squadron will be
unaware how much the commander
of the blue squadron knows about
the location of the white squadron,
and the commander of the blue squad
ron will not know how much his OPP
ponent knows of the method of at
tack which will be employed by him.
The Prairie, Commander Pills
bury's flagship for the time being,
was last reported from Province
town, Mass. That was Monday
What the position of the Prairie
now is, and what the position of the
remainder of the ships of the white
squadron nobody knows except those
on board. The supposition is that
they are somewhere far at sea, wait
ing or maneuvering for an advan-
tageous moment to make a dash at
the coast.
After the two squadrons of the navy
have had their go at each other they
will combine against the army. The
second part of the war game contem-
plates an attack on the batteries de-
Tending the eastern approach to the
city, which will be commenced soon
after the conclusion of the first prob
lem. There is to be an alnnistice of
two days-a period of final prepare
ton in which both sides will grid up
their loins for the encounter. This
period of preparation begins at mid
night on August 20 and expires atmid-
night August 81. Then war is on be-
tween the two-strenuous but sham
hostilities which will last throughout
six battle-rocked but bloodless DAYS.

NOT A SHOT FIRED.
Venezuelan Revolutionists Have No
Trouble in Occupying Seaport
Town of Cumana,

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Aug.
20.-News has just reached here that
the seaport of Cumana, in the state of
Bermudez, Venezuela, was occupied at
noon Tuesday by the Venezuelan rev.
olutionists without the firing of sin
gle shot.
Cumana, which is about 200 miles
east of La Guaira, was occupied for a
short time by the Venezuelan revolu-
tionists last May. Upon this occasion
also the government forces left the
town without offering resistance. Gu
mana is about so miles east of Bar
celona, which was captured by the rev.
olutionists the early part of this
month. The revolutionists now hold
the custom ports of Ciudad Bolivar,
Guaira, Cano Colorado, La Vela de
Coro, Carupano, Barcelona and Gu

Minnesota's Grand Exposition Will
Be Held Sept. | to 6, 1902.
Everything Points to the Greatest
Fair Yet Given.
REDUCED fATES ON ALL RAILROADS
Good Roads Train a Feature---Na-
tional Cattle Show.
Amusement Program Which Beats
All Records.

Minnesota has good reason to be
proud Of her State Fair.
Taking all things into consideration
it is, perhaps, fair to say that no 9TH
er influence is working out so much
good to the state as the State Fair. 1t
is doing powerful educational work;
it is introducing broader methods of
farming; it is stimulating stock
growing; it is developing horticul-
ture; and it is advertising Minnesota
to the world as no other institution
can Or would.
Within Il decade the Minnesota
State Fair has risen from an incon-
spicuous place among the state fairs
of the country until it is now the
largest of all; and it has even out
stripped the great Canadian fair at
Toronto, which has held first place
for many years in attendance and re-
ccipts. Last year over $4,000 people
passed in through the turnstiles Mt
the Minnesota State Fair grounds.
The Minnesota State Fair is the
only one which can maintain great
national cattle shows. No other fair
attempts these shows. And the great
cattle breeders associations would
not consider making exhibitions at
any of them if the matter were
preached.
Evening Amusements.
The Minnesota Fair was the first to
introduce evening entertainments and
the only state fair which has made
them success. A feature of the
evening entertainments this year will
