Animals and Music.

The effect of music on animals was
recently tested by Il violinist in Ber-
lin menagerie. The influence of the
violin was greatest on the puma. which
became much excited when Quicksteps
were played, but was soothed by slower
measures. Wolves showed an appar-
ent interest, lions and hyenas We're ter
rified, leopards We're unconcerned, and
monkeys stared in wonder at the per.

PRUDENCE.

Prue--for Prudence-is her name,
How it does belle her!
For in foolish madcap pranks
No girl can outvie her.
Always in some mischief new.
Seek some new folly,
Often to be mourned next day
In deepest melancholy.
Always thoughtless when she acts,
Never once malicious.
Forever getting into scrapes-
To me she is delicious!
Prudence! What name for her!
How 1t does belle her!
Yet in witching charm--for me
No girl can outyie her!

The Ruy from TOWN.

Last night a boy came here from town
To stay a week err so,
Because his nav is all run down
And needs rest, you know. VI
His name is Cecil. and he's eight,
And he can't skin the cat
His nav she calls him Pet" I'd hate
To have name like that.
He wears collar and tic
And can't hang by his toes; 1
guess that would nearly die
If had on his clos;
He can't ride bareback, and to-day,
When we slid on the straw,
He asst if ROSTERS help to lay
The eggs pick for nav.
When our old gander Kissed he run
AS though he thought he'd bite,
And he amt ever shot gun -
Or had homemade kite; Z
He never MIXED COW and he
Can't even dive or swim
I'd hate to think that he was me,
Pm glad that mint him.
He thinks it's lot of fun to pump
And see the water squirt,
But won't climb in the barn, and jump,
For fear of gettin' hurt.
His clos are otile nice and fine,
His hairs all over curls,
His hands amt halfas big as mine,
He oug. y3r,ex with girls.
A little while ago when we
Were foolin' in the shed
He suddenly got mad at me,
Because bumped his head.
There's lots of things that he can't do,
He thinks that sheep'll bite,
:snd he afraid of ganders, too;
But he can fight all right. Il

Lincoln, Neb, Aug. 1.-According to w.
J. Bryan. J. P. Morgan is the most dan,
gerous man in the United States. Mr. Bry-
an devotes some space in his editorial
In the Commoner to-day in indorsing the
criticism Of the German emperor in his
estimate Of Mr.. Morgan, and then goes
the kaiser one better. He says:
1.-The kaiser Is a discerning man. In a
short visit with Mr.. Morgan he found out
what seems to be not apparent to many
Americans, namely, that the great f1nan-
cier is perfectly blind to the natural and
necessary consequences that will follow
his schemes. If Morgan were philoso7
pher or student of human nature he
would know that evil and only evil can
follow from the monopolies which he has
helped to organize. He is either without
conscience or without judgment, or it is
more charitable to take the kaiser's view
and consider him as incapable of seeing
consequences far ahead
HE is on a par with the drayman
who starves his horse. or the farmer who
who EFFORTS from his customer, or the
parent who allows his child to work in
the factory when it ought to be in school
only he cannot plead necessity as an eX-
cuse.

dangerous as Mr.. Morgan and the plutoc-
racy for which he stands. 1t would be
fortunate for this country If all our peo-
