treaty will delay the submission of that
document to Congress beyond the period
originally fixed, namely, the beginning of
the session.

WISHED HE HAD THE STORY BACK

Funny Tale Lost on Non-Appre olative
German Audience.
! Col Adolphus Busch, who has been
doing some booming as q member of
the st. Louis Exposition exploiting
committee, tells the following story:
Last summer when l went to Eu-
rope I took along my head brewer,
whose admiration for his adopted
country is only equaled by his desire
to appear thoroughly Americanized.
together we visited his native town in
Germany, where he was made much
OF. Or course they had a 'koramers,'
and my companion took the oppor-
tunlty to endeavor to make a speech
after tn. American style, but ia the
German language, of course. He start
ed out boldly, though he is no public
speaker, and got along fairly well un-
TIL he attempted the funny story which
ne knew should accompany every
American speech worthy the name. It
was runny, l assure you, as he told it.
but his hearers were too well-man-
nered to laugh at their fellow-towns-
man, and SO it fell fiat. Discouraged
ana dlsgusted by this lack of appre-
clatlon OF American humor, he drop
ped heavily into his chair, and. lean
ing across the table, whispered hoarse-
ly to me:

FROM THE MARKET PLACE.

To lift the burden from the weak and old,
To ease the load, give honest work for gold
That those we love may live; bravely to
Within the market place, with heart and
hand
As true and strong as when in other days
We sewed and spun, and trod sweet house
hold ways
May be u woman's part. Yet do we
prize
Not less our power to help, to sympathize,
TO love and bless. W. face the life we find
In our W day, care not to look behind
Or waste the hours in grieving that cur lot
Is cast in times when labor cries, "Spare
not"
Bearing in patience the contemptuous stone
Flung off by those who dream, and have
not known,
So will we live and work, be stout of heart,
Nor fear to lose through toll the better
part.
