j. A. Lyons and wife are making
preparations this week to spend the
summer at their ranch near Palisade.
Herman Hoesch is enlarging his res
taurant and lunch counter, near the
depot. The change has made it me-
cessary for the Primrose Brothers to
move their confectionery establishment
across the street.
1t is the generally accepted belief
that the best friends of labor and
unionism, are those who say the least
about it. The City Union Band is
about to place piece on the stage,
through the assistance of several itin-
Grants. One of the means they have
of raising funds is to poach upon the
preserves of the legitimate newspaper
advertising field. this being the first
resource usually to raise funds This
would not be so bad in itself, as he
newspaper publishers throughout the
country are becoming callous upon
this matter, but the other thing which
they do is to go around and have the
various newspaper offices figuratively
''cut each others throats,'' by bid
ding against each other for some small
job. The City Union Band claims to
be a union organization. If it is SUCH
it should attempt to live by the pre-
cepts of unionism. The band is just
as unfair in its methods as if it laid
no claim TO unionism. Consistency
is a jewel and this band which bears
the name union should practice
little more of union principles. If it
desires the union scale paid to its
members. it should pay just scale
for its work

1t is an enlargement and modifica-
ton of fox and geese or 'tit-tat--
to- with which most school children
are familiar-and most school teach
ers as a result. A piece of paper is
marked off in squares-as many as
desired, the more the longer the
game-and the object of the players
is to get five marks in a row in the
squares. They may be connected in
any direction. The same mark may
serve in four lines if the player be
adept. 1t can be crossed in any direc-
ton.
As rapidly as the marks are drawn
five in a row the player tallies. He

Two bugs" players when we'll in
action bear every resemblance to
whist or chess players. Devotees of
these two games will resent the conn

conversation as the astute whist
player.
The spectacle of two men sitting
opposite each other, industriously,
painfully and cautiously making
marks on a square of paper, with all
the seriousness which might be given
an engineering plan, is apt to produce
amusement on the part of the specta-

game.

Once in a while a man, on making

MAKE GIFTS TO UNIVERSITY
Museum and Magnificent Clock Tow
Presented to Brown in Honor of
Benefactor's Grarddal1ghter

In memory of their wives, who
were sisters, an Italian count and a
New York lawyer have made gifts
to Brown university, at Providence,
r. l., which will prove not only va1u-
able to this institution, along with it's
many other new acquisitions, but also
monuments of interest to the people
of Rhode Islands capitol, in COM
memorating one of its oldest and
most influential families.
The gift by the New Yorker was
announced only last week, and con-
sists of an art museum. The donor
is Rush C. Hawkins, whose wife was
Miss Ann Mary Brown, a grand
daughter of Nicholas Brown, for
whom the university was named, and
who was one of it's principal bene-
factors The art collection for this
memorial has been gathered by Mr..
Hawkins in his extensive travels, and
consists of a valuable collection of
books illustrative of the early wood
engraving and printing. works of art
from Mr.. Hawkins New York home,
and many art curios.
The other memorial is in the form
of a clock tower, and will be erected
by Count Paul Banajotti, the Italian
consul at Liverpool. 1t is in memory
of his wife, who was Miss Caroline
Matilda Brown, sister of Miss Ann
Mary Brown.
The tower is ninety-five feet high
and, because of the hight of the crest
of land on which it stands, the bel
vedere which Surmounts the four
bronze dials will be more than 300
feet above the business streets of
Providence. In the still night it's
chime of bells in striking the hours
will be heard over a good portion of
the city. The lower part of the
tower, consisting of the granite foun-
dations and the Indiana limestone
base, will be of Colonial architecture,
to harmonic with the old college
buildings. Here will be the memorial
inscription telling how the tower
came to be built.
The building will be an acquisition
to the already beautiful grounds of
Brown university, and the faculty
and students express grateful appre-
citation of the gift.

catch the rooster, which they finally
did after good deal of work. Then
she said that there was only one
punishment prescribed for a witch
who assumed the form of bird, and
that was that she should be burned
alive. The servants agreed with her
and the result was that the unfortun-
ate rooster was taken into the kitch-
en- and showed into caldron of boil
ing water.
That evening the owner of the
rooster heard of its fate, and at once
began suit against the farmers wife.
In this way it became known that
many persons in Bavaria still firmly
believe in the existence of witches,
wizards and evil spirits.

moment the farmers wife entered
the yard and at the sight of the bird

The Debt the Country Owes.

During the recent session of Con
gress Senator N. B. Scott of West
Virginia made a most eloquent speech
in. the Senate in support of his bill for
a service pension of $12 a month for
every Union veteran. He began by
saying that the strength and stability
of the Republic depended upon the
zeal and patriotism of it's citizen sol
diers. With marvellous judgment the
Fathers of this Government saw that
the defense of the Republic must be
vested in all of it's citizens, and not
a standing army. Instead of main
tanning a standing army at large
expense to the people and always
a menace to their liberties, the wise
founders adopted a system of mutual
self-defense, and in which the people
would reward the soldiers who risked
their lives, their health and their fu-
ture prospects in the defense of the
Republic by appropriate pensions and
certain emoluments. They adopted
the plan of community of interests,
by which the people were expected
to take care of those who fought for
them. Upon this have been based the
pension laws passed from the begin
ming of the Government down to the
present time. He said
Il beg to assure you, Mr.. President,
that l am moved by memories that
are sacred to me, memories of by-gone
days, memories born amid scenes of
carnage and strife, and, standing here
beneath the shadow of this noble
structure, every stone of which rep
resents human sacrifice. whose lofty
dome as it rises to meet the sun in its
coming speaks for those whose voices
are hushed in the silent chambers of
the dead. to ask this people whose
country. whose Constitution and whose
Flag live by their sheroism and their
blood, to hear the feeble voice of a
comrade speaking for those who can
not be heard. Allow me to lay the
hand of patriotism upon the busy
wheels-hush the mad thirst of COM
mercialism, and bid them be still.
while our brothers blood cries -out
from the ground not for vengeance,
but for justice.
This measure, following the prece-
dent to the Mexican war, is intended
to remove favoritism and to do equal
justice to- all alike.
Large as the pension roll now APP
pears, mammoth as seems the aggre-
gate of a nations bounty, it is an ag-
gregate summed from all its wars.
Yet however large that roll be. it is
not so large as the muster roll, and
no man was summoned who was not
needed, and needed at the most mo-
mentous hour, having answered to
the call that tried the souls of men,
and to which call none but the true
and brave responded, they should not
now be forgotten"
