Picture an immense green with a
long. smooth course in its heart,
where knights in sasnes OF many col

flash back and forth carrying long
lances tied with huge ribbons; long
grand stand alive with pretty women
in summer gowns; and, as far as one
can see, mass of vehicles. This is
the scene of the typical Maryland
tournament.
In the center of the field is erected
the flower decked throne where stands

PRAISES CHILDREN OF JAPAN

Writer Enthusiastic over Infants of
FIowery Kingdom.
A recent book on the children of
various countries says: "A baby Jap
anese girl is the most delightful crea-
ture you can possible imagine; radi-
ant, happy, beautiful butterfly. She is
rarely known to cry, for she is rarely
slapped. What mother could have
the heart to touch so dainty a bios
som as the childfiower of this land of
flowers? The baby girl loves fun; she
loves toys, sweets and tea in little
cups; she loves to smoke, with a
funny pipe made of brass and kept
in her sleeve; and, above all, she
loves her big, round-headed doll She
is wonderfully playful and gentle, this
child. always ideally dressed and al
ways self-possessed. She has the
loveliest mouth and teeth and twink
ing black eyes, and she knows it, too.
The smallest Japanese wants to be
beautiful; each baby girl has her
dainty lacquer box of rouge and pow
der, she is like some wonderful fantas-
tic tropical blossom, some dear little
dragon fly. And her hair-how black
it is, with blue lights, and shining
where it is stiffened and gummed in
loops and hands till it seems to reflect
the gold lacquer and coral-tipped pins
that bristle around her head! Great
competition goes on between girls as
TO whose hair shall be most becoming
ly arranged, whose the smoothest and
most glossy, whose girdle shall be the
most gracefully tied and whose dress
shall possess the most harmonious
effect"

Every young girl is wearing her
prettiest clothes. Each one fully ex-
poets to be the happy maiden. whose
knight wins the honors, and who will
be crowned with the flowers. The
queen of the year will be the belle
for the whole season to come in that
locality.
The knights themselves are more
gorgeous tnan their ladies. There is
often an attempt to dress lin cos
tune" for the joust, and outfits are
sometimes chosen with. weird and re-
markable taste. Here an Annapolis
cadet in gray suit and shining but
tons, with a sash made from an Am
eTican flag twisted across his shoulder
jockeywise and a lace handkerchief
pinned to his sleeve, will mount his
charger beside farm boy in long
white ducks and a collarless pink
shirt; theme a fanciful gentleman in
purple velvet of courtly cut will ride
beside a modern horseman in a pink
riding coat and leather breeches; and
yonder knight in an imitation coat
of mail will dash up to a fellow in
blue jeans with Scotch plaid ribbon
fastened awkwardly about his waist.
Each knight chooses his name, a
fanciful one, which the marshal calls
out Justify. There are Knight of the
Raven Plume, the knight of Pleasant
Valley, the Knight of Annapolis, the
knight of the Wild Rose, and even
the Knight of the Onion Patch, as
one jouster with sense of humor
once dubbed himself at recent tour
ney.

IL Stands now. forsaken, on the hin.
A Warder to the ones below
That nevermore may cross the sill:
For olden belle and olden beau
Have bowed before the Makers will.
Within the church a shadow gray
The pews and aisles has overcast
shadow that will ever stay
SO long as the old church shall last
The shadow that upon to-day
Is thrown from out the dreaming past
Across the shadow sometimes drift
Live memories that somehow trace
picture. with motion swift
The picture OF a sanity face;
The face of one who joyed to lift
The songs and melodies of grace.
And then they troop adown the aisles-
The men, the matrons. and the maids:
And rustling ribalds, seemly smiles.
Come with the whisper of the shades.
And then-like all the afterwhiles-
The picture Of the old time fades
The quaint old church of long ago
With roses clambering it's sidesi
All, who can tell, and who may know
The joy and sorrow that it hides
The memory of clinging woe,
And buoyant happiness of bridesr
Sometimes, at eve, when all is stnI.
And all about the church Is calm.
And twilight settles on the hill
With something Of a hallowed balm,
me zephyrs come, and Groom and fill
The silence with an olden psalm.

HAS BEEN CONCLUED.
Dispositions Have All Been Taken in
Cross-McGuire Case.

Guthrie, o. T., May 1e.-George A.
Outcelt, of Tecumseh, who has been in
the city a number of days, states that the
taking of dispositions in the Cross-Mc-
CURE congressional contest has been con-
cluded Mr.. Outcelt was Delegate Nc
Cures attorney in the contest matter
and visited the various counties in the
territory securing all information pos
sibIe relative to the election.
From what has ben done Mr.. Mcclure
has gained nearly 800 votes as the re-
suit Of the contest said Mr.. Outceit.
1T is probable that he would have more
votes than this to his credit were the
contest matter gone into more fully.
There is absolutely no help for Mr. Cross
to win in this contest and I believe that
he and his friends realize this. 1t has
taken considerable work, but Their is
much satisfaction in growing that Mr..
Mcclure has made many gains in spite
of the fact that Democrats have been
making so many claims relative to this
contest
Many persons believe that the matter
will never go very far. Possibly far
enough for Cross and his friends 10 Sc
cure money from congress to pay for
expenses in bringing the contest.
