The situation remains entirely un-

cept that both armies have doubtless
strengthened their defenses and ac-

The Russians continue their recon-

gagement or change in the japanese

The Japanese continue to ignore the
daily shelling which takes place in the

places the whole line of trenches are
so close that the Japanese can draw
fire at any time by displaying caps on
sticks. A few casualties result daily
from rife fire.

FIXING PRICE OF POETRY.
The Only Way of Deciding What the
Real Article for Magazine
Use Is.

The great magazine editor was wrapped
in thought and cigar smoke. To him came
an assistant editor with d poem, relates
the Chicago Post.
This seems to have passed the usual
test" said the assistant.
Have l read it?' asked the editor.
"Yes."
WAS l able to make anything of it,"
"No."
"Then accept it, of course"
But how much shall we pay for it,"
The great editor increased the cloud of
thought and cigar smoke.
Have you read it," he asked, at last.
yes"
Were you able to make anything out
of it?"
NO"
Looks as if it might be pretty valuable,
doesn't it? How many of our manuscript
readers have tackled it,"
Six"
Gould any of them make out what the
poet was driving att"
We'll, Robinson thought he got a glim-
mering idea of the underlying meaning"
That takes $40 off the price," sand the
editor. Just figure it up according to the
usual methodist added for every man
who couldn't understand it and $40 deduct
ed for every man who could. We've got to
pay good prices for good poetry, and
there is only one way to decide what has
real magazine merit"

dunes back of you. They were a peace
able and happy lot until n day the
medicine man warned them they must
go out to fight the Arapahoes, or all
the wild game would be killed or
driven away from the hunting grounds.
All that night the south wind
brought me sounds of hustle and hur-
ry, and next morning, just at break OF
day, | looked u and saw the warriors
going away. The moaning of the
squaws, the walls of the children and
the bowls of the dogs foretold grief.
Half the day passed and then little
Wau-nee, the fayOrite son of the chief,
was missed. he had followed his faith
er. Again the moaning and wailing
va resumed, for it was feared little
Wau-nee would never come back alive.
Next day there was a terrible bat
tie and many Indians were slain, but
the Ogallalas had been victorious. AND
yet, at what a cost, for among the 9TH
ers, found with his face to the foe and
a tiny bow in his hand, lay the pride
of the chief-Wau-nee.
Carefully the body vas lifted and
brought back to camp, where for three
days and three nights he and the others
were mourned. Even the old chief
shed tears, perhaps the first in his life,
and in his Indian tongue vowed that
up from the heart of the little boy
should spring a flower which would
spread all over the west and prove to
+ho hroDoh0nC fhot tho rcoo Of tho
Ogallalas was immortal.
Then they buried the little Indian
boy, digging a deep grave by my side,
and over the mound they heaped rocks
brought from the banks of the Raw
hide, leagues away.
Summer passed, fall waned and the
plains were covered with q mantle of
snow. Under the M slept the little
red boy. Then spring came and the
south wind melted the snow, l watched
and one day saw a green leaf coming
out of the little red boys grave. Day
by day it grew, and then | saw a bud
forming, and | was so pleased that l
dampened the grave with dew. Anoth-
err day passed and the bud opened, and
the first wild oxeyed daisy had its
birth.
still another season passed and
spring came and the little oxeyed dali
sizes scattered farther and farther from
the little red boys grave. They
crept up hill and down dales-far out
on the plain, and now you can find
them growing everywhere, but. as the
old chief said they would. they all
sprang from the heart of the little red
boy."-Eugene O. Mayfeld, in Chicago

COW AND PIG WE'RE CHUMS.
An Odd Animal Friendship Which
Led to All Sorts of Trouble
and Mischief.

A lady who has a large estate in
Brookline, Mass, tells an amusing story
of an odd friendship between two ami
mails that lived on the place. The cow
had been a resident for over two years
when a pig was added to the stable
Piggy was put for a few weeks in quar-
tiers beside the cow. In May the COW was
staked out in the field to feed on grass.
Contrary to her previous custom, she
seemed very uneasy, feeding a little and
then uttering a serious of mournful bel
lows, like a COW deprived of her calf.
The pig IN the stable. too. kept UP a
series of shrill squeals.
Disturbed by the noise, the lady sent
for the s~tableman. to ask what was the
trouble.
Sure, ma'am. | dunno" said he. THE
cow do seem most unhappy. An the pig,
too"
Put the COW back in the stable" the
lady said. | cannot endure such noise"
This was done, and quiet prevailed for
the rest of that Gay. The following
morning the cow was again turned out
The lamentations began again. Again
was the COW returned to the stable, and
silence reigned. The third day the
stableman Quieted the tumult by putting
piggy out in the field. too. Both animals
fed in peace and quiet. And since the
pig did good to the orchard rather than
harm by his roofing. he was allowed the
freedom of the field with the cow.
If the pig got a few rods away from his
friend he would throw up his snout and
sQueal his loudest, and then scamper
back to her as fast as his legs would
carry him. When they slept the pig lay
beside the cow. Their affection was mu-
tual.
The friendship continued in this wise
until spring, when the cow had a calf.
She had then small interest in her
friend. the pig. and he. poor creature,
was consumed with jealousy. He rooted
the boards of his pen so persistently that
he broke it Town and got in with the
COW. Then he rooted and bit the calf
v~iciously. The maternal wrath of the
COW was reused. and there was trouble
in the stable. The cow was hooking and
trampling. and the pig was roofing and
biting cow and calf unfortunately.
The stableman went to the rescue. He
drove the pig back into his W quarters
and repaired the pen. Piggy sulked for
two days. refusing to eat, and then he
apparently recovered his spirits and &C
cepted the new conditions. At times
during the summer. however, he turned
Jealous and rooted v%iciously at the divid-
ing boards and squealed forth his hurt
feelings.
Whether the COW and pig would have
resumed their former friendly relations
cannot be told. for the luckless porker,
being now in good condition, went the
way of his kind.-Youth's Companion.

Nor within the curtains flare,
He would surely find her there.
So beneath the lounge she's pressed

No. she's not there any more.

accusation which they brought against
Him He denied ard clearly refuteG,

publican and sinner. This charge He
admitted by some of the most beauti-
ful and tender parallels and by His
loving, compassionate and helpful at

Funniest Kind of a Party.

Here is an amusing idea for a chill
dren's party, an idea, too, which may
be carried out with a very trif1ing out
lay. Invite the young people to a sheet
and pillow case ball. To convert these
into wearing apparel suited to the oc-
casion presents some difficulty, for
they are not to be cut in any way.

attending such a party showed q good
