THE DUEL

The bingham dog and the calico cat
Side BY side On the table sat:
Twas; half-past twelve. and what do
you think?
Neither of them had slept a wink!
And the old Dutch clock and Chinese
plate
Seemed to know as sure as fate
There was going to be an awful spat.
Ct wasn't there simply state
What was told to me by the Chi
nese plate).
The bingham dog went "bow-wow-
wow"
And the calico cat replied "meW-oW!
And the air vas streakel for an hour
Or so
leo.
While the old Dutch clock in the chin
ney place
Up with its hands before it's face,
For it always dreaded family row!
-(Now, mind I'm simply telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares
is true).
The Chinese plate looked very blue
And walled: oh, dear! what shall
we do?''
But the ginghan dog and the calico
cat
Wallowed this way and tumb1ed that
And utilized every tooth and claw
In the awfu1est way you ever saw
And, oh! how the bingham and cali
CD few!
Don't think that l exaggerate-
l got my news from the Chinese
PLATED,
Next morning Where the two had sat
They found no trace of the dog or
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away;
But the truth about that cat and pup
Is that they ate each other up
Now, what do you really think Of
that?
(The Old Dutch clock, it told me So
And chat is how 1 came to know.

General Fred D. Grants favorite
story of his father is one that aptly
illustrates that great soldiers faculty
of sizing up situation in few words.
y 1--WE had an old coachman." he says,
g5ttwho was not the brightest man in
the world, but what he did not know
about a horse was not worth learning.
Mother used to can on him to do all
sorts of things that We're not in his
line, and old John, of course, was
always making Mistakes to asGravate
her. Once she sent him to the bank
to do some business, and he did it
N:rong. She told father all about it
and said:
5$S5yt.I guess you'll have to let John go.
{ He never does as he should anything
"a want him to do"
l}sS s Well, motne1,' said my father, if
John could do everything you want
him to do, and do it right, he would
not have to be our coachman.' New
York Times.

Of the leading journalists of Europe.
Discussing the Rrsso-JApanese war he

the iuhabitants outside the members
of the governnent, the army and navy,
people or the residents OF the larger
cities, know that there is war.
Since l have been in America, have
seen much more interest and excite
ment over pews from the front than
there is in Russia.
..R Iss.a will be progressing for the
conflict an later reports of the fight

are acquainted with the conditions.
News OF tie Russian reTerses will

popular. We can send millions OF
troops into the field and will do SO
