BILLY HAD A LARK.
Runaway Pony Scattered Delicious
Butter Balls Along Half
Mile of Street.

Billy was a beautiful bay-colorc4'
pony. He was none of your heavy.
slow-going farm horses that have to
be urged on their way. Not he'll
Like a swift deer he cleared the
ground, and hors setback riding on Billy
was a delight. Everyone loved him.
He was so beautiful. He would toss
his fine head and arch his neck in
such a saucy way when being har-
messed that one was sure he was
only waiting impatiently to be off
on gay canter.
One morning the weekly supply of
butter was needed and Arthur was
| asked to run over to the farmhouse
for it. He was just waiting his
chance to ride Billy, so he said there
was not time to walk before school,
so he guessed he'd ride Billy over.
Mother protested, but Arthur
| pleaded, and so much time was lost
that mother saw that she must go
without the butter or allow Arthur
to ride the colt.
Billy looked very sweet and inno-
cent of any mischievous plan as he
trotted out of the yard at a very
mild pace. 1t was the first time
Arthur had ever been on his back,
and he sat proudly. The only thing
that made him realize that he was
not valiant knight on a prancing
charger was the tin butter pail on
| his arm.
Arthur reached the farmhouse in
good time, and the empty butter pail
was exchanged for one filled with
half-pound prints of delicious yellow
| butter.
Arthur started for home. Billy, in
| fine feather, was cantering along
| gayly. A few rods from the farm,
near the road, stood small black
smiths shop, where several men were
lounging about, waiting for the
boss" to come and set them to work.

gave long, low whistle, which start
ed Billy on the round run. Arthur
was nearly thrown by Billy's sudden
spring forward, and in his efforts TO
regain his seat and control the horse
the pail of butter slipped further up
his arm, the cover fell off and Billy
and Arthur went prancing through
the main street of the village, scat
tering balls of golden butter behind
| them.
Everyone rushed to doors and win
dows at the clatter of hoofs, and
soon men and women, girls, boys and
babies started in a procession after
the proud knight, who was scattering
gold in his path as he scampered by
on his proud steed.
When Billy dashed into the yard,
the last print of butter lay in the
road some yards behind him, and
mother rushed out to find a dishev-
eled rider, painting horse, and all
the neighbors with all their children
congregated in her backyard. But
that was not the worst of it; she
found an empty pail.
Arthur had to walk back to the
farm for more butter, and he had
plenty of company on the way, who
thoughtfully pointed out the little
soft yellow heaps to him, lying at
intervals in the road.
But Billy? Well, he was not a bit
penitent. He only smiled when they
led him in the stall and tossed his
head as much as to say: THAT was
fine lark, wasn't it?"-N. Y. Trib-

And see the funny things
They are the widest animals
With horns and tails and wings.
The beetle is a 'Noceros,
This bugs Buffalo,

Because he's big and slow.
The spotted yellow lady-bug
A lovely Leopard makes,
This monster fish-worm is a Boa,
These monster caterpillars, Snakes.

facture, and not Etruscan. The mirror
disk has diameter of 10 centimeters.
The rejecting surface is slightly, and
at present not uniformly, convex. The
edge of the disk is ornamented with
the egg" pattern, which is not visible
in the illustra ton. The back is plain.
Twenty years ago it was the com
ment of Greek scholars that despite
the fact that mirrors were shown by
Attic vase paintings and reliefs to
have been in common use, not one had
been found. Since that time number
have been discovered, of which the
one now at the art institute is sam
pie.
This mirror has its handles now de-
tached from the disk. AT the back the
bronze part of the handle is prolonged
upwards in the form of a palmetto,
which served to make the attachment
to the disk secure. In front the orna-
mentation consisted of a figure of
siren with -recurved wings, surrounded
by scrolls and palmettes.
The especial interest which attaches
to this Chicago mirror is the fact that
the handle proper is preserved-a cir
cumstance which is recited as unusual
among Greek mirrors of that historic
period. For determining the date Of
the mirror there is no evidence, ex-
cept the style of the bronze relief. The
composition as a whole seems to indi-
cate that it was made in the fifth CEN
fury B. C. The year $50 B. C. has been
taken as the approximate date of its
manufacture and use.

ANCIENT GREEK MIRROR.
Once 1t Was the Property of an Attic

This is the kind of a mirror the
Greek beauty used when she set about
to add to the natural adornment of
her Attic features. 1t is now in the
art institute at Chicago, having been
purchased by Martin A. Ryerson in
Paris and deposited in the institute.
1t is said to have been dug up in
Etruria, but is pronounced by Greek

A SMACK GOES DOWN
FISHING VESSEL AMELIA LYONS
 IS LOST.
Three Persons Meet Death in the Waves as Result of a Squall in Pensacola Waters.
 Four Saved.

Pensacola, Fla, July 13.-Three men were drowned this morning by the wreck ing of the Amelia Lyons, a fishing smack from Mobile. Four survivors reached the city this morning and told the story.
 Captain Sullivan said that early he was called from his bunk and informed that a squall was coming up. He went to the deck quickly and saw signs of an ap- preaching squall. He ordered the crew to clear away topsails, and as this order was given a puff of wind from the southwest caught the sails hardly filling them.
 The Lyons went over instantly, and all were fioundering in the water several miles from shore. The captain said one of the crew, named Fernandez. dived be- low and cut the painter of the only dory, and the small, egg-like boat drffted off.
 The captain and Charles Powers, Will Fernandez and John Stokes reached the drifting dory after 6 time and clambered into 1t after resting.
 The painter was thrown to a white man named McVeigh. but he failed to catch 1t and went down. The cook. known as Frenchy, did not emerge from the fore castle and was drowned. Will Ward, an- other white man, was drowned.
 The survivors fought the waters and reached the shore about daylight. None had on clothes, but a kind steamboat man discovered them on the gulf beach and provided clothing and sustenance.
 The smack was new and was valued at $10000.

ENeLAND's TARIFF POLICY.
Official Document on German-Cana
 dian Discussion.


 London. July 13.-A white paper was issued by the Foreign Office tonight, giv- ing the correspondence between Great Britain and Germany in connection with the German Canadian tariff discussion.
 The dispatches cover tthe period from May 9. 1908. but their text adds little to the statemets by Foreign Office officials brought out in Parliament from time to time. The general tone of the correspond ence indicates a greater willingness on the part of Germany to discuss in q friendly way the question of Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain's advocacy of a re- taliatory tariff policy.
 June H Germany suggested an inter change of ideas with a view to friendly settlement This suggestion was accepted by Lord L,ansdowne, although the British Foreign Secretary, in closing his note, re- iterated Great Britain's refusal to admit Germany's right to treat Canada or any other colony granting special tariff con sessions to the mother country as a sep arate customs territory to be made to suffer by retaliation for privileges granted to the United Kingdom.

Receiver Smith Takes Possession of
 Subsidiary Company.
 New York, July IRA long conference between Receiver Smith and counsel was held at the office of the United States Shipbuilding Company today.
 The conference. the receiver said, was one of many which have been held lately. He said that he had signed an order ter minating the leases of the subsidiary shipbuilding plans.
 In the organization of the United States shipbuilding Company, he said, the prop critics of the subsidiary shipbuilding com pany's were acquired and then leased back to the subsidiary companies for one year with proviso by which they may be terminated on a five days notice. The properties were leased upon rental to consist of the earnings of the plants. In order to get control of the properties the receiver had terminated these leases. The order, the receiver said did not include the Bethlehem Steel Company.
 ''The Bethlehem Steel Company does not stand on a par with the other sub- sidiary company's?" was asked of the re- ceiver.
 We do not know yet" he replied Even the lawyers are in doubt of that

COOPER IS HOPEFUL.
Says New York is in Condition to Go
 Democratic.

Washington, July 13.-(Special. )--Repre- sentative Sam B. Cooper. one of the veteran members of the Texas delega- tion, is in Washington, after having spent several weeks in New York State, where he has been in connection with develop ments of business touching the Beaumont oil district.
 MT. Cooper talked with number of prominent men of both parties during his visit and says that from their express sons on next years events there is de- cided indications that conditions are ripe for New York to cast Democratic elec- torial vote.
 Conservative Republicans quietly con- cede this.
 There is not much discussion of can didates," said Mir Cooper. They realize that very much depends upon the con duct of the two parties at the session of Congress to intervene between now and the meeting of the two national con- ventions Much also is involved in the kind of treatment the administration and the legislation end of the party in power will have to mete out in the now absorb ing matter of departmental corruption. Still 1t is very evident hat the uppermost feeling in powerful and influential circles in New York State is more Democratic now than for many years"
