He sat upright and lowered his
bare feet upon the pavement. Out
side, the blue armament was full OF
stars, sparkling unevenly, as though
the wind was trying in sport to eX-
tinguish them. In the caves of the
porch he could hear the martins
rustling in the crevices that they
had come back, but few days
since, to warm again. But what
drew the man to the entrance was
the window in the cottage over the
wall.
The lattice was pushed back and
the room inside was brightly lit.
But a white sheet had been stretch
ed right across the window between
him and the lamp. An on this
sheet two quick hands were way
ing all kinds of clever shadows,
shaping them, moving them and
reshaping them with the speed of
lightning.
1t was certainly a remarkable
performance. The shadows took
the form of rabbits, swans, foxes,
elephants, fairies, sailors with
wooden legs, old women who
smoked pipes, ballet girls who PRO
quoted, twirling harlequins and
the prohles of eminent statesmen
and all made with two hands
and at the most, the help of tiny
stick or string. They danced and
capered, grew large and then small,
with such odd turns and changes
that the hageolet player could
hardly hold his laughter. He re-
marked that the hands, whenever
they were discontinued for mo-
ment, appeared to be very small
and plump.

play ceased AID the shadow OH

woman's voice, low but distinct.
The hageolet player started and
bent his ewes lower across the
graves and into the shadow be-
Meath the window. For the first
time he grew aware that a figure
stood there, little way out from
the wall. AS we'll as he could see,
it was young boy.
THAT was beautiful, mother.

Investigation OF every department in
the government service. Mr.. Wachter,
who is Republican, s;ys the public
service is permeated with grating.
He expects fierce opposition, but will
fight hard, he says, to show the rotten

In addition to the postal scandal and
the Indian land frauds, involving in

cultural department is laboring under
the charge that there was collision

Customs scandals and irregularities
in the letting of contracts have been

customs scandals in Porto Rico, and

were made that both the war and navy
department were controlled by cliQues
for their personal benefit.

A representative of the Maple Leaf
Telephone Co. of North Branch was in
this section recently and there are pros
poets of a telephone line from Milaca
ia Isle, and it may possibly be built
from Isle down to Mora. The people
are quite in favor of the proposition
as a telephone would be a great con
venience in this section where we have
no railroad. Everybody should help
the project along as every man living
in this community would need to use a
telephone a good many times during
the year, and it might save many long
trips as well as many dollars in the
course of year. All should feel will
ling to do something to help the pro-
ject along.

Booker T. Washington Arraigned by a
Boston Organization.
Boston, Sept. 2.-The Suffrage
League of Boston, a negro organiza-
ton, has adopted resolutions declar-
ing:
"Inasmuch as Booker T. Washington
has glorified the revised constitution
of the South, has minimized the Jim
Crow car outrage, has attacked the
wisdom Of the fourteenth and six
teenth amendments to the Constitu-
ton; has deprecated the primary i'm
portance of the ballot, has preached to
the colored people of silent submission
to intolerable conditions and makes
his people by-word and laughing
stock before the world, he is not a fit
leader for the colored race and no
president who recognizes him as po-
litical leader should receive the COL
ored vote of the North.
Wherefore, since President Roose-
velt has given him charge of the ap-
pointment of all negroes of whatever
state in the Union, and has made him
the negro adviser as to all policies af-
fecting colored Americans, in the in
terests of our race we call upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt to dispense with Mr..
washington as our political spokes-
man." .

borhood last Friday when the neigh
bors heard that two of Marcus Bryn-
ulson's children, age six and four years,
were lost and had been out all night in
the heavy rain. The children had been
sent at dusk for the COWS and lost their
way. About twenty of the neighbors
joined to search for the missing chill
dren. They were found about noon
only short distance from home. The
children seem none the worse for the
exposure in the rain.

He has not snarled at the metropolitan

the voters what il being done by their

On the contrary here is what he
said In his recent great speech to the
