A Sleepy Time Story.

can't get to sleep, my little boy, Phil?
II tell you a story if you'll keep still.
Ihere once was giant who grew so high
Ihat he bumped his head on the evening
sky,
And he thought a star was a FREELY
For it burned his ear and went whizzing
by.
With one big gulp he swallowed the sea
And left dry land where water should be.
And he said, This drink tastes gritty to
me-"
He had swallowed clamshels and ALL YOU
see!
Huge roast turkeys We're bites to him;
He swallowed thousand and still was
He ate green cheese from the moons pale
rim
And that's why the moonlight has grown
SO dim.
He thought the mountains were ant hills
too
So he trod them down with his mon
strous shoe.
And then he cried for something to do;
He cried. "Oh. dear!" and he cried. boo
hoo!'
Then he cried salt tears till an ocean
grew =.
Where his teardrops fell-this is truly
true
A n1onstrous ocean. all white and bluel
But when he saw what his tears could do
He wiped his eyes on a big white cloud;
Then he wrung it out as he laughed
You thought it was thunder and hid your
head
Under, the sheets In the small white bed,
And out you tsid not dare to peep
Till the greet big giant fell fast asleep
Asleep, a--sileep. a-slee-py Sleep
My boy end his giant are fast asleep

Indian Prayer Sticks.

Those acquainted with Indian Gus
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious. and
social ceremonies Of the red men.
Particularly among the Navajos. and
Pueblos are these plume emhlems
believed to have the utmost efficacy
for good or bad. .-s.. -
All about any Pueblo town may
be seen carefully whitfield sticks,
each with a tuft Of downy feathers,
generally white ones, bound at the
top Of it. They are prayer sticks
and are quite as curious as the pray
er wheels of Burma and the paper
prayers of the Chinese.
The feathers, stick and manner
of tying the feathers vary according
to the nature of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask a favor of
the ''Trues" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then,
taking it. to a proper spot, he prays
to those above and, planting his
stick, leaves it to continue his petit
ton.

John Habberton's Prank and Its Last

John Habberton, the author of
''Helen's Babies" told at dinner
party recently an interesting story.

one day they gave me the manu-

contained long passage in praise
of the work done in the world by
the great artists=-by the poets, the
sculptors, the musicians, the xarchi-

I, for mischief, changed one word in.

"Of course I thought the, proof
readers would catch. the error. My;
idea was that we should all have a
little laugh at Ruskin's eulogy of
the printer along with such fine fell
lows as the musician and the poet
and that then the types should be
set right again. But somehow my
willful blunder missed the proof
readers eye, and in that and every
following edition for many years]it
appeared; hence thousands of Amer
leans have admired the. perception
and the originality of Ruskin in
praising so highly the work. Of the
humble printer, thanks to me. I,
by: the way, didn't discover how this
error had endured till recently 1

of his law out of books and doesn't
know anything else, says the Wash
ington Post. One day a man en-
tered the attorneys office and want
ed him to decide a question concern
ing the ownership of calf.
The book lawyer reached down
several volumes and studiously
searched the index. He couldn't
find the word ''calf''. anywhere.
There is no. law on calves" was
his wise decision, and so he did not
settle the question.

Hobson's Choice,

Burn a cork one end and keep
it clean the other. You are then to
be blindfolded, and the cork is to
be held horizontally to you. You
are then to be asked three times
which end you will have. If you
say, Fright" then that end of the
cork must be passed along your fore
head. The cork must then be turned
several times, and whichever end
you say must next be passed down
your nose and the third time across
your cheeks or chin. You are then
to be allowed to see the success of
your choice.

How a Little Dutch Boy Became a
Great Physician.

Great Physician.
Among the lives Of eminent per-
sons recorded by DR.. Johnson is
that of Herman Boerhaave, very
celebrated Dutch physician. From
his early childhood young Boer-
have was extremely fond of learn
ing, and very soon his thoughts
turned to the study Of medicine.
When he. was little more than elev-
en- years old, he was afflicted with a
painful disease in his left thigh, and
none Of the surgeons or physicians
could do him any good. This strange
boy, by constant experiment and
careful study of his own case, sue
ceeded in curing himself.
He was most persevering and sue
cessful in his studies, gaining many
prizes, and when. he became pro-
lessor he did a great deal for the
cause of learning, especially of med
ical science.
Though a strong man, he had
many illnesses, and thus he learned
to feel for his patients.
DIR. Reerhaave used to tell his
friends that when he lay whole days
and nights without sleep and in
great. pain nothing gave him SO
much relief as thinking about his
studies and repeating from memory
the many things which he had read
and learned. He was always patient
under suffering, and the more he
had to bear the more he tried to
ease the pains Of others. &C. j.

 Funerals.

Johnstown, Pa, July 13.-"We know where the explosion in the rolling mill mine occurred We know what caused it. We know who caused it. If he were alive criminal action might reach him.

NEW MINISTER FROM CHINA
SIR LANG CHEN TUNG TO SUC-
 CEED MIR. WU.

Newly Appointed Diplomat Attended
 Yate-New Ministers to Russia,
 France and Italy Also Named-sIr
 Liang's Appointment PIeases the
 Americans In Pekin.
 Pekin, July 1S,-sir Liang Chen Tung, secretary of the Chinese embassy to the coronation of King Edward, was to-day appointed Chinese minister to the Unit ed States
 New ministers to Russia, France and Italy have also been named. The se- lections for these posts show that the dowager empress continues to regard the diplomatic service as unimportant. None of the appointees is of higher than the blue-button rank, and none has held any important office. All of them, except Liang Chen Tung, are un- known to the foreign community. Liang Chen Tung's appointment pleases the Americans here.
 The newly appointed diplomat was educated in America. He once attend ed Yale university and is able, dignified and honest. He is the first of the body of students sent to America in the sev- enties to receive recognition befitting their accomplishments, the Chinese off, cials having disliked them because of their progressive views.

COMING TO THE [. s.
Crown Prince of siam to Make a Visit
 tO Us.

New York. July 19.-It is learned from authoritative sources that the Crown Prince of Siam will come to the United States in the same simple manner that he has visited King Edward and the various continental rulers, accompanied only by his brother, the next in success sion to the crown prince, and two aides de-camp, officers in the Siamese army. The crown prince is in his twentysec- ond year, and for more than eight years has lived in England, speaking and writing the language. He has been ed ucated at Oxford, is president of the Cosmopolitan club of that university, and is most simple and unaffected in his manner. He possesses a fine, lib- eral mind and is said to be thoroughly imbued with western civilization, as is also his father, the King of Siam. He will call on the president and secretary of state officially, either in Washington or such other place as the American authorities may designate.

Assem- bling at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, July 13. - The advance guard of delegates to the greater min- CTS convention, which will meet in this city Thursday, will arrive tomorrow morning. Whether a general strike will be ordered or not will be ordered or not will be the great question of the con- vention The national officials of the miners organization are expected to oppose this movement. The radical ele- ment, which is in favor of the general tie-up will have great deal of strength in the meeting, however, and may be able to control affairs.
 The five districts that called the con- vention, the three anthracite districts of Pennsylvania, with West Virginia and Michigan, will probably vote for gen. eral strike A majority vote is all that is needed to decide on this action. and the five districts will have over one- third the nominal voting strength of the convention.
 It is almost foregone conclusion that the convention will take steps to pro- vide a defense fund for the anthracite strikers, whether a general tie-up is de- cided on or not.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK 4 CAR.
Terrible Accident Narrowly Averted
 Near New London.


 New London, July 13.-A dastardly attempt to wreck trolley car on the Montville line was made tonight about three miles north of this city. A heavy steel rail was laid across the tracks short distance from a bridge which crosses an arm of the Thames river, and had the car left the track it surely would have gone over the declivity and the list of dead and injured would have been appalling.
 The Montville line connects Norwich with New London. Fast time is requir- ed to make proper connection, and it is nothing unusual for the cars to attain a speed of thirty miles an hour. The 8 o'clock car was crowded and it struck the rail with crash, sending the ob- struction to one side.
 Almost a panic ensued immediately, as the shock to the passengers was ter rife. The motorman checked the speed of his car and an investigation was made. The rail was found alongside the track. It had been carried for a considerable distance to a position on the tracks with the evident purpose of throwing the car with it's passengers into the river.
 The road at this point runs along a high declivity and a terrible accident has been predicted many times. No clue to the would-be wreckers has been found, although the authorities have a posse securing the country for informal tion that would lead to their detection. The trolley company will offer a large reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty Wretches.

EXHAUSTlNG CHASEOF TRACY
HARD PRESSED BUT STILL
 AVOIDS CAPTURE.
Keeps i'm Hiding Despite the General Belief That He is on the Verge of Collapse from Bnclsshot Wounds and IHness-The Hunt Being Pushed With Greater ZeaI Than Ever,

Seattle, Wash, July 13-Notwith- standing the general belief that Tracy is on the verge of collapse, as the re- suit of buckshot wounds and illness re- sulting from exposure in the wet brush, he managed to keep hidden from the officers to-day. This was especial ly disappointing to the four sheriffs now on his trail as they had led him an e4- hausting chase up to last night and hoped to push the pursuit to an actual encounter to-day.
 Vigilance had been redoubled and the encircling cordon about the district where it is almost certain the man was hidden, was stronger than ever. The deputies secured the neighborhood, but beyond discredted reports of the con- victs appearance near Enumclaw, noth- ing was heard of him.
 The officers, however, have not wav- cred and the hunt is being pushed with greater zeal than ever. It will be con- tinued without cessation. The sheriffs are convinced that the convict is within the territory guarded by the deputies and posse men.

HOWE $ STETS0N.
TROUBLE ABOARD.
Deck Hands on City of St. Lawronce
 Came to Blows.

Sergeant Cook at police headquarters last night received word from New York by telephone stating that there was trouble aboard the steamer City of Lawrence, which carried the excursion conducted by the St.. Joseph Young Mems club to North Beach yesterday, and advising the police here to be on the pier when the boat docked. Word was sent to Sergeant Mcbride at thea Grand avenue precinct, who sent squad of six men to Heaton's wharf. and as the steamer tied up at 10 o'clock the policemen expected big time. The sight of six policemen evidently put damper on the trouble-makers, for the police had nothing to do, but, on the contrary, found very. orderly crowd. Some of the deckhands and firemen got into a fight as the boat was leaving New York, and it is understood that one of the firemen was put in irons on the way to New Haven. The~lnen came to blows, but all the fight in the men gave out before the City of Lawrence reached New Haven.

MR. WU NOT SURPRISED.
Had Been Informed Hts Services Were
 Needed in Another Capacity.

Washington, July 1S.-Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister at Washington. was not surprised to hear the appointment l of a successor to himself, as he has been expecting an announcement of this character for some time. He had re- ceived notice that his services would be required in another capacity, and for this reason has been prepared to hear of the naming of his successor at any time. Sir Liang Chen Tung, the newly appointed minister, is comparatively young man, being only a little over forty years of age. Like the present minister, he is said to be a man of pro- gressive ideas, whose opinions have been formed from his education, which was received partly in the United States, from his former connection with the Chinese embassy here and from his contact with European civilization in the course of several special missions. Cheng was one of the four parties of Chinese boys who were sent to the Unit ed States about twenty years ago for the purpose of completing their educa- tions. The idea of the Chinese govern ment was to have each of the boys spend fifteen years in this country. ten
 years of which were to be in the pre- paratory schools and the remainder in
 the universities. Before Cheng had completed his course however, the plan was discontinued and he returned home. While Chang was minister to Washington some years ago Cheng
 served as interpreter during the three # ,te iY,01 Ia tor hn secretary of a special mission sent to Japan: and when the jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated he filled sim liar position to the embassy which went to London. It was from his connection with the latter mission that he obtained his knighthood and received the title of Sir. Last year. when China dispatched a special mission to Germany to make formal apologies for the murder of Bar on von Ketteler, Cheng was a. member of the party.
 Minister Wu has not been officially advised of the appointment of his suc- cessor Mir Wu has been at this capi- tai since April. 1897. His relations with the administrations of Presidents Mo- Kinley and Roosevelt have been of a most cordial character. The ordinary term of ministers in the Chinese diplo- matic service is three years and they are not reappointed MT. Wu's term of service, however. has been continued indefinitely from time to time. He was of great assistance to his government during the Boxer troubles. Several months ago he was appointed q mem- Der of the commission to codify the ex- istng Chinese laws and prepare a set of modern laws for his country. and it is this business which in all probability the Chinese government has in store for him when he returns to his native land. MT. Wu also is minister to Spain and Peru.
