A TAKER OF
CRUMBS
By Charming Pollock
Copyright. 1904. bu Claiming Pollock
By Charming Pollock

"The red sun slipped over the edge
OF the earth and left her sitting there.
She was very lonely. After moment
She walked 10 the window and began
reading her letter for the fiftleth time.
Dear Lady O. Mine was its first line
Dear Lady O Mine
Anne Stacey's laggard fingers drop
ped from the typewriter keys into her
lap. and she whispered the last words
OF the paragraph 10 herself almost low
ingly. The story was too nearly fin
ished TO be written all over again. and
yet that was the very phrase which
opened the note lying at her side.
To epitomiZe the romance OF her own
life was one thing she thought: to use
Its language was another. For an in
slant she was dlSgusted at the recollec-
ton that she had intended 10 offer any
part Of the little history for sale. and
she was about To tear the page from
the machine Then came the reaction.
She remembered how many empty
hours she had spent in an attempt to
force something purely imaginary from
her brain She knew the story she had
lived and written was an interesting
story and that she could dispose of il.
After awhile the tired fingers returned
listleSSly 10 the keys, and the sentence
in her mind staggered across the white
sheet before her
The end of the procession had been
reached when the dinner bell rang.
Anne Stacey laid the completed manu-
script on her desk and added the note
TO a small bundle locked in her bureau
drawer. Then she stood before the mir
ror and patted her soft brown hair in
several places The face that stared
back at her was a plain face-sweet
and honest hut far from beautiful.
The mouth was too large, the nose too
small. the eyes sufficiently far apart
10 denote intellectually, but not near
ly close enough for that prettiness
which is worth SO much more TO wo-
man. Anne had been told these things
almost from the time that her eldest
brother had been able TO talk, but she
sighed as she crossed her tiny room and
walked into the hallway. A mingled
odor Of cabbage and burned beef as
cended the stairs with the noise OF
many voices Then the bell rang again,
and Anne went 10 dinner
She had expected 10 make corrections
in her story afterward and 10 post IL
when she went ont for her usual car
ride. Instead. she unlocked tie drawer.

Animals That shed Tears.

Humboldt states that he had mon
key that shed tears when ii was seized
with fear Rengger noticed that the
eyes OF a small South American monkey
filed with tears when il was prevented
from getting some coveted object or
was much frightened. Darwin cites a
third case Of a monkey from Borneo
which in the geological gardens was
frequently observed 10 cry when griev-
ed or even when much pitied. Sir f.
Tenant, describing the capture of ele-
plants I'm Ceylon. says that when
bound some OF them lay motionless
with no other indication OF suffering
than the tears which necessarily flow
ed from their eyes. The keeper OF the
Indian elephants i'm Regents park has
several times observed tears rolling
down the face OF the old female ele-
plant when her young one was taken
away from her.

Give Willie a Chance

Give Willie fire crackers? Certainly,
man,
Bring up the lad on a civilized plan:
Let him have hand grenades, pistols,
long toms,
Shimose powder aud dynamite bombs,
Field pieces, shrapnel and modern car
bines,
Magazine rifles, internal machines.
Give him the tools of terrorist spy
Then he'll be fixed for the Fourth Of
July.
Wilhe's been poorly equipped in the
past
He was just modestly dangerous last
Fourth of July-you remember, the dear,
How he Just managed to blow off one
ear,
Pulling his grandfather's arm from the
socket,
Setting the stable on fire with a rocket
If you but give him a decent chance,
why,
He'll do his duty next Fourth of July.
Willie's bright little fellow, I'm sure,
All he needs is a chance to mature;
Genius for murder will never expand
Shooting off baby torpedoes by hand
III it's patriots duty to shake
Nature to pieces, then come, let 'er quake
Give little Willie the proper supply
And he'll be heard from next Fourth OF
July.

The Glorious Fourth.

Comes the Fourth and men with whisk
ers
And with dignity 10 burn
Go out like some yearliug friskers
To the street and do turn,
Sending up the dazzling rocket,
Shooting crackers like jay;
Out of mind and out Of pocket,
How they kick themselves next day.
Then they do some tall resolving 80
As to next years day and date,
While the potion is dissolving
That will set the headache straight;
After this, they always figure,
They will do it never more;
Possibly they will be bigger
Fools and kids than eer before.
When the spring old Winter bounces
And the early buds appear,
Then the family man announces
He won't celebrate this year.
But his good resolves all shatter-
With the rising of the sun
lie forgets about the matter
And gets busy with his gun.
We can all be patriotic
When the show is under way,
But it seems quite idiotic
When we think of it next day.
As we view our family treasures,
Bruised aud bleeding, halt and lame,
We feel doubtful if the pleasures,
After all, are worth the game.

A" Actors success Nay Not Depend

An actor, known variOusly as "eXpe-

Jet OF frequent euloGy. walked out Of

his hand ana "A look of blended JOY and
citation irradiating his well scanned
face.
I've got my new part" he cried joy
ously TO a friend whom he met on the
sidewalk. and it's great"
Indeed" said his friend What's

Dunno" replied the Thespian cheer
fully, but it's simply great II you

his friend proceeded To "heft" the type
written roll. remarking as be handed
it back that ii must weigh at least half
a pound
II this good all round actor had pos
sesSed any real knowledge of his craft
lie would have known that tie failure
he scored was due 10 the fact that his
half pound part was one of those
worthless ones which read we'll and

Paw Paw People Pleased.

The championship game between
Flint high school and Paw Paw high
school was satisfactory in every way
to Paw Paw people. The game was
an interesting one and close enough
to make it interesting until its close.
Both clubs should be complimented
upon their gentlemanly bearing and
clean ball playing. The decisions
given by Sanger were Just and his
experience in the box gave him the
right qualifications for deciding the
nice points in pitching. It was a
spirited game all through and in only
one inning did more than four men
face Reynolds. that being the sixth.
when Flint scored two runs. Paw
Paw won the game by superior bat
ting ability. bringing in FIVE scores in
the first three innings. Decker, as
usual. hit the home plate for run in
the first inning. In securing this
score he was aided by the sacrifice
hits of those following. This method
of team work explains why the high
school boys have been so successful
this season, winning Is games, and at
last defeating the only club with a
like record. Pitcher Reynolds sue
ceeded in striking out nine of the s.
men that faced him. Moffett of Flint
struck out one. The fielding of both
clubs was very good and every chance
to gain a point taken, the out field of
both mines taking every fly that came
in their territory.
To say THAT the result pleases Prof.
O'Leary is feeble expression to use

THOUSANDS FALL IN Battle.
Recent Casualties in MaHchuria Esti-
MAYED at 5000.

Toxic aevices say that the casualties
in the fighting ut Chenchiehpao and Hell
koutai are estimated ut 5000 on the side
of the Japanese and 10000 on the Rus
sion side. Russian activity on the Shakhe
river seemed TO have ceased after the
fights at Chenchiehpao and Heikoutai,
where the Japanese were victorious The
object of the operations is not clearly I'M
derstood here, but it is suggested that
the Russians either intended to turn the
Japanese left and move heavy force
down west of the Lao river, or were
seeking to divert attention from a pro-
jected operation against the Japanese
right. 1t is reported that the weather
has been milder, but il is still cold, so
that it is impossible to expose the troops
at night.
The Toxic press expresses the opinion
hat Gen. Kuropatkin either ordered the
movement to divert attention from the
domestic conditions in Russia or plan
ned to make fight before Field Marshal
Oyama had been heavily re-elforced.
The Russian attempt to turn the Jap
anese left has resulted in complete fail
ure. The Russians chose the worst
weather of the season, depending. per-
haps, upon their familiarity with a snowy
country to aid them in their operations.
Their artillery attacks on the Japanese
permanent line were. it is thought, a
demonstration to prevent the withdrawal
of men to re-enforce the Japanese left.
All Sunday afternoon and into the
night an artillery duel was kept up across
the ShakheEriver. There was much
heavy rife firing from positions where
the intrenchments are close.
