WHEN HE poNEp H1s STRAW HAT

WHEN HE DONED HIS STRAW HAT
 There had been three warn days in Isuccession-not merely temperate days,
 but really warm ones. So Hockleben thought he might safely permit himself
 to wear his straw hat. He had bought lit rather late last year and it was in good condition without being too ag-
 gressively new in appearance. It seemed that it might be worn without
 exciting any comment. "Why should it
 excite comment?" asked Hockleben.
 He wore it.
 The following list of remarks he com
 piled after dinner on the evening of the fourth warm day: The idiot Walker. who lives next
 door; Hello, Hook! Rushing the seas on, ain't you? Where's your linen Etrousers?" The baggage man at the railway sta

 The conductor: Aren't you crowd | ing the season 1ittle?" One of two girls three seats down on the other side of the aisle: "Tee-hee!" The girl with her: @Tee-hee-heer' A little boy, accompanied by his mother: "Oh. look at the nan in the straw hat!'

HELD ANNUAL PICNIC.

Yesterday afternoon and evening the veteran and active members of the local division os naval militia were at Cosey Beach enjoying the annual celebration |of their organization, and also their en- |listment as members of the United States navy. The programme during |the afternoon was replete with ball games and athletic events.
 Last evening a, banquet with post Drandial exercises was the feature of |the occasion. Many of the old veterans

If the microbes would confine themselves to s1. 900 bills it would not be, so bad, be- |cause they do not circulate So freely as |fves do, but the microbe is no respec- |ter of bills. The microbe might have some difficulty in finding the $1, 900 bills, but it can find dollars bills with ease, land they are softer and more home- like than the others.-Chicago Tribune.

another, as a mason would lay stones while building a circular tower. They are moistened by caliva, which serves as sort of cement and are pushed down upon each other by the head and feet, and thus adhere tenaciously. The inside is smoothed by continued motion of the jaws, as a plasterer spreads mor- tar upon wall. It is not vanished however, as some naturalists have asserted. The top is closed, and the buil- der awaits within the signal to emerge whereat it brakes through the top, or occasionally the side wall. Like a from tier pioneer, it leaves it's house, and moveson, joinng the mighty procession of its migrant fellows. The huts stand empty in the silent cicada city, like an abandoned mining town whose boom has burst" or like the winter quarters of an army when the spring campaign calls afield.-(H. c. McCook, LID, in Harper's Magazine.

STEAMER sLocUM KNOWN HERE

Had Been Chartered by the Harugari
 Society for June 26.
 The General Slocum was one of the best known excursion boats running out of New York. For the last few weeks she has been carrying Sunday excursionists out of New York up the sound as far as Bridgeport. She was chartered by the Harugari Singing so- ciety of this city for an excursion that was planned to leave here a week from the lower end of the sound.

opposition To- Imperialism. one of his

he had served so long was in an add

Call the roll of that body and ask
how many of the men whose names It

speech on the Philippines in May, 1902:
