Granny's Ragamuffin.

Poor granny wears clutches and cannon
get about like the rest of u.s. In the sum-
mer when we go to church on Sundays she
sits on the little veranda built just for her
SO that she can walk right out upon 1t from
a low window. We call it granny's veranda.
and we all love to sit out there when we
visit her.
Our house Is nearly three blocks away.
There father and mother baby Bessie and
I live as cozily as can be. Bessie is only
three but the dearest little baby you ever
saw. One Sunday when father and mother
and 1 went to church Bessie was left at
home with Dora the maid.
That same morning granny sat on her
veranda thinking of the far away time when
she was a little girl. How long ago 1t
seemed but the roses were red then and
the honey bees were sucking the sweets
from them just the same is now.
All at once there was a queer looking
sight coming up the street. 1t looked more
like a little ragpicker than anything else.
The. Jacket was so many sizes too large tina t
it almost touched the ground. On the crea-
lures head was a mans felt hat, so big
as to nearly cover the. face and all. A
little wicker doll carriage with a most for
lorn-looking rag doll was being wheeled
along, while a red shawl, partly in the car
riage. hung with one end dragging along
the ground.
Granny tried to make out what the OBJ
ject was. She put on her far-sight Specta-
cles, took them off and rubbed them with
her kerchief, put them on again, declaring
all the while to herself that she could not
possibly make 1t out. She did decide that
1t was little girl. so she called out:
Hey! Whose little girl are you. and
where are you going?
The: little girl, for granny had guessed
right, tipped her head far back SO she could
look out from under the big hat and re-
piled:
I'm taking my dolly out for ride When
we get TO Main street we'u get on the
trolley
Where do you live. little grl2" asked
granny.
Nowhere" was the. answer. I'm Just
giving my dolly a ride" And she started
along.
Granny tried again. Haven't you any
father and mother?'
mo, just have dolly, and we're going
to the park" She toddled on. but half turn
ed to call. Goodbye, granny"
Dear mel dear me!' said granny to her
self. She seems to know me. 1t will never
do to let the child co.
Here. little girl. won't you please come
and let me see your dolly?'
At that the child turned squarely around
came up the walk, backed up the front
steps, pulling the baby carriage after her,
and toddled straight through granny 8
room and out TO the little veranda
''There!' she said, holding up a tattered
and undressed rag doll.
And what do you suppose. The little rag
amuffn was granny's own little grandchild.
Bessie, who had put on sisters Jacket
papa'S hat. and had then run away from
Dora to give her rag dolly ride.

Fiddler Crab.

AS soon as mother hippo lays her eggs
her husband gathers them up and carefully
tucks them into a pocket, thickly lined with
fat which he has for the purpose When
the little horses burst their egg shells they
eat some of this fat, but hunger soon drives
selves.

which gives him his name. He lives, with
hundreds and hundreds of other fiddler
crabs, all along the Atlantic shore south of
Cape Cod. He and his brothers dig 20 many
burrows along the banks OF the salt marshes
that sometimes great masses OF earth are
undermined and washed into the sea.
The hddlers are shy fellows. If they see
any one coming or hear suspicious noise
down they pop into their holes. They
eat carrion, but often carry seaweed into
their burrows, as they prefer to dine at
all their meala out.

TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION
GOVERNOR CARTER OF HAWAII
DESIRES TO RETIRE FROM
THAT POSITION.

Honolulu, June Ex-Governor Carter
mailed his resignation to President
Roosevelt on Wednesday,. He will
leave on June % for Washington to
discuss the matter of his retirement
from the governorship. He has been
in cable correspondence with the presi-
dent regarding it and has received
permission to go to the capital for a
personal interview.
Governor Carter says he had urged
President Roosevelt to accept his res
ignation and appoint successor His
action, it is declared, was not due to
the election of e. M. Brown as high
sheriff, but had been under considera.
tion for some time. 1t was first writ
ten ON June 6, but was withheld on
the advice of friends, who asked him
not to send it to Washington.
The resignation was the elimination
of a long series of events which led
Carter to the conclusion that he could
be of more service to the territory Of
Hawaii outside the gubernatorial chair
than in that position.

suburbs along the south shore of Long
Island, Coney Island, Rockaway Beach
and sections of BROOKLYN.

Federal Officials,

=
Roswell, N. NJ, June 24.-Benjamin
H. Tallmadge of Chicago of the C. l..
Tallmadge Southwestern Land COM
pany has been arrested here on the
charge of subornation of perjury. Tall
madge was taken before United States
Land Commissioner Karl Snyder and
gave $4,000 bonds for his appearance.
The warrant was issued by Commits

in the rich artesian belt of New Mex.
leo, the most valuable land in the ter.
ritory, have been secured through
fraudulent desert entries. This land
unimproved sells at from $50 to $50 an
acre. All of these cases are under in.
vestigation.
Mr.. Tallmadge declares that all OF
his deals have been according to law
and that 1t will be SO proved.

Injunction Against California Fedora
ton Of Labor.
San Francisco, June 24.-United
States Circuit Judge Morrow has
granted the application of Dietrich E.
Loewe & co. Of Danbury, Conn, for
temporary Injunction against the Cali
fornia State Federation of Labor and
the San Francisco Labor Council,
which has been boycotting local firm
of jobbers in the hats manufactured
by Loewe. The Injunction pendente
lite was granted on the ground that
the unions had conspired not only to
protect themselves but to destroy the
property and ruin the business of the
compliments.
The defendants contention was that
they had used neither force, threats
nor intimidation and had only urged
on the friends of labor the necessity
of using their patronage for the bene-
it of labor-a constitutional right
'*But can it be truthfully said that
this is all that has been done by them
in enforcing the boycott?" the court
proceeds and points out that this is
the power OF combined numbers and
that the company is helpless unless
they surrender the arrangement and
control of their BUSINESS to a labor
organization"

STRIKE DRAGGING ALONG.
No Decision Reached by Settlement
Committee.


Chicago, June 24.-Three concrete
problems confronted the Transfers
Joint Council strike settlement COM
mittee in session during the day with
the executive board of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Transfers.
Upon the decision of the leaders to
adopt any of these seemed to depend
the settlement or continuation of the
strike. The first plan considered was
to accept the employers terms, aban-
don the union button and get back
whatever places may be had. The
more belligerent members favored the
calling of a general strike of team
sters to carry the point that the union
is to the teamster what the flag is to a
patriot in battle. The only other al
tentative was to let the strike con-
tinue on the present lines.

peared to be in the saddle. The

ress in negotiations with Chairman
John V. Farwell, Jr., of the action COM
