The Little jap.

The Little Jap.
The little Jap he pegs away
Night after night, day after day;
He's always going right ahead
That's why so many Slavs are dead.
He doesn't stop TO rest or sleep.
But though the roads are rough and
steep
And foe-begirt, still day by day
The little Jap he pegs away.
The little Jap he doesn't talk
Nor diagram with pen or chalk
He doesn't tediously explain
How certain forts his men viii gain.
lnsead he saves his breath and strength
To shout with when he shall at length
Have felled the grisly giants stalk
The little Jap he doesn't talk.
The little Jap he doesn't brag
Or madly masticate the rag.
He doesn't gloat DER fallen foe
Until that foe is lying low;
He doesn't tell the world his plans,
But marshals silently his clans
And scraps with vim that cannot lag
The little Jap he doesn't brag
The little Jap he doesn't wait
And sit around and rail az fate,
J Instead he tackles with vim
Whatever's In the way of him.
He doesn't soak in jagful juice
He knows such things aren't any use.
He's busy early, busy lateA
The little Jap he doesn't wait.
The little Jap thus teaches YOU
And teaches other people. too
lrhate 'tisnt wise TO jag or brag
or mouth the mastioative rag.
or walt or murmur or complain,
But just TO work. come sun or rain.
Less theorizing more of DO
The little Jap man teaches you.

FOUR KILLED
IN BIC STORM
Tornado Sweeps Western New
York Picnic Grove.
VINEYARDS AND oROPsLAID WASTE

Five Thousand People Of the Town of
Stockton, chautauqua County, Have
Terrible Experience From Lightning
and Falling Trees.
jamestown. n. Y, Aug. 26.-Chau-
tauqua county has been swept by a
tornado which left death and great
destruction in it's path. At Parkhursts
grove, where the Stockton town picnic
was being held, 5000 people were on
the grounds when the storm broke.
Four were killed and several injured.
The dead are Mrs. Austin E. Pierce
Of Fredonia, Miss Ina Scott of Shumla,
Orin Dalrymple, sixty years old, and
an unidentified child.
The injured are Mrs. Orin Dalrymple
of Shumla. who will probably die, and
Arthur Bills of Portland.
The storm came up suddenly. Trees
in the grove were struck by lightning,
many Of them were blown down, and
the rain fell in torrents.
The coroner says the force of the
storm struck about half a mile east Of
the grove. The tornado followed a
comparatively narrow path. Had il
struck the grove with full force the
death list would have been enormous.
Crushed by Falling Tree.
There were 5000 people in the grove,
and 800 carriages with horses were
standing under the trees. A large ma
pie tree was uprooted in the grove its
trunk and branches smashing six car
riages and killing four horses. Orin
Dalrymple, Miss Scott, his grand
daughter. and Austin A. Pierce were
instantly killed. Their skulls were
crushed. Mrs. J. Anderson of Portland
was trampled under the hoofs of plung
ing horses. George Arnold was in.
jured in a similar way.
The buildings in the vicinity were
blown down. and others were unroof
ed Hundreds Of forest and fruit trees
were blown down, and corn and oat
fields were laid waste, entailing a loss
of thousands Of dollars.
At the assembly grounds at Chau
tauqua many trees were unrooted, and
a portion Of the fence around the
grounds was demolished. The mems
clubhouse was badly damaged
The vineyards in the county suffered
and it will take years to bring then
back TO their former condition.

~ RArfTUDE is human trait

ready to acknowledge Indebtedness;
they live In state Of perpetual
thanksgiving. Others receive gifts
and eagerly appropriate them without
SO much as a thank YOU"
Now comes one who would again i'm

people of Delaware, and on one Of our
bright and ambitious young lawyers lin
particular. The great and only jed.
Addicks remarked at the convention the
other day that Robert H. Richards
could not have his support as Attorney
General as he had recommended him
for the Office he now holds and Mr..
Richards had never thanked him.

statesman IN conclusion.

gard himself as settled. He can have
no reward--at least IN this life We
don't know how far in the future the

Possibly he felt that he owed his debt
Of gratitude to the people Of Delaware;
to the Attorney-General who appoint
ed him, or TO the host of friends who
urged his appointment, Possibly he
felt that he was giving full return to
the State for his meagre salary. and
that he didn't have to get down on his
knees to anybody But. oh, how sadly
mistaken he was
He didn't fawn; he didn't crook the
pregnant hinges OF the knee; he didn't
go to Addlcks TO inquire how he should
perform the duties of his office. Pos
sibly he was even SO blind to his obli-
bations that he would have sent bood-
lers, including their chief to jail had
the evidence been obtainable.
SO. Of course, Addicks named another
man for the Office OF Attorney General
and the presumption is that this time
he is counting on fun display Of grat-
itude.
