N gave his kids the batter-bowi-she'd

She seq it makes cake fall down
when youngsters shake the floor
N when the cake was baked real
brown ma turned il out to cool.
NJ then she sez- Now, May, since you
an James are home from school,
III let You make the icing So May

Yes. now that's all right
Now, Jimmie, get the sugar 10 snake IN

So 1 brung out the sugar from the row
of caniSters-

We didn't get the icing bowl fer fear
twould make US sick
We didn't say a single word to pa about

He thinks its awful funny. lettin' On

ONE. TWO, THREE.

1t was an old, old, old, old lady.
And a boy that was half-past three;
And the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping,
And the boy no more could he,
For he was a thin little fellow
With a thin little twisted knee.
They sat in the yellow sunlight
Out under the maple tree,
And the game they played I'll tell you
Just as it was told to me.
1t was hide-and-go-seek they were
playing
Though you'd never have known it to
With an old. old. old, old lady
And boy with a twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding
In guesses One. Two, Three.
You are in the china closet,
He would cry. and laugh with glee-
1t wasn't the china closet;
But he still had Two and Three.
You are up in papa's big bedroom,
In the chest with the queer old key.
And she said: You are warmer and
warmer,
But you're not quite right. said she.
1T can't be the little cupboard
Where mammals things used to be;
!, l. nl,Jt ae the clothes Press, S.rlnd-
ma"
And he found her with his Three
Then she covered her face with her
fingers,
Thct were wrinkIed and white 400
And sns guessed where the boy was
hiding,
With One and Two and a Three
And they never had stirred from their
places
Out under the maple tree
This old, DID, old. old lady,
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady,
And the boy who was half-past three.

ACTIONS TALK.


It's not the things you talk about
That give you lasting fame.
Your schemes to benefit the world
And make yourself a name;
The noble plans, so well designed.
That somehow wont go through
No. these things won't distinguish you
It's just the things you do.
And If you only sit and talk
About the schemes you've Planned,
Why, never will biographies
OF you be in demand
For people want to see things done
That's what they want from you.
They don't care much for promises
It's lust the things you do.
So get your thinking cap, my lad;
Don't sit and idly dream.
Let action, action, be your rule
When you've devised scheme.
The world Will give you credit when
You've made your dreams come true,
But schemes and dreams won't give you
fame
It's Just the things you do.

GROWING.

When I was five I used to believe
In fairies, and / wouldn't leave
My mother for minute;
didn't want TO go at night
In any, room. 'cept where a light
Was burning brightly in it.
When | was six / really thought
The world was fat and stopped off
short,
With just high walls around ii:
And when L lost my dolI-I cried
And couldn't stop, although tried,
Till Sister Mary found il.
But now I know what things are true,
And / go yisitin' Cousin Lou
Alone She's almost eleven
Dark rooms don't friShten me-and !
Just only very seldom cry
For now I'm almost seven.

good to you little folks. But then !
am sure he cohld not help being
good to you. I'm just as glad as !

folks can say
One of my little friends asked me
not long ago please to leave the
Kings Christmas dinnel. alone and
not steal it as did his fine turkey on
Thanksgiving Day. | just want to
tell all of you that the King ate his
dinner in peace and that | have be-
come a prime favorite with him be-
cause of a little trick played on his
counselors. made some pictures
of it and you will find them in an
ether part of today's paper. | had
lot of fun ali to myself, but the old
counselors would ike to have me
sent TO the dungeon or somewhere
else where could not play tricks on
them. The King now thinks I'm
fine and guess I'll have my own
way from now on.
You will see the usual puzzles to-
day for you to work out, and a pic
tuTe which | want the little club art

For the paint picture there is only
one prize; also there is but one for
the puzzle. In both cases the picture
which is painted the best and the
puzzle which is correct and which is

the prizes. There are three prizes for
answers to the rebus picture and the
same rule is followed in that case.
I'm sorry that every one cannot get
a prize, but you little folks must re-
member that originality must count,
along with the correct answer.
Well, my dear friends, again
wish you all the blessings of the
New Year, and SO good-by from
your faithful friend,

many of these false certificates In use
that our officials have hard time in
preventing a deluge Of Chinese coolies
coming In under the pretense that
they are merchants or students.
II realize that we want to have ami
cable commercial relations with China
and hope this matter will be adjusted.
For the first ten months Of the present
fiscal year our trade In cotton goods
with China amounted to $4,000, 900,
against a little over 100000 for the
same period Of the previous fiscal year.
II will be a loss to disturb this trade
and I hope II will not be DONE"
The President asserted that he was
determined the Chinese should have
fair treatment under the law whenev'
er they applied for admission to this
country. He believed this was not OH.
ly in the interests Of manufacturers
and business men, but no more than
Just to the Chinese. No definite decl.
sion was reached, the matter being re-
ferred to Secretary Hay.
. This was the last Cabinet meeting
this summer unless the President calls
one while he Is at Oyster Bay.

APPROX IS DEAD.
Mexican Ambassador at Washington
SuccuInbs to Long Illness.

Washinton. March 25.-Senor Don
Manuel AZpiroz. MexicoS first am
bassador to the United States. died
Friday evening at the Mexican en-
bassy surrounded by members of his
family, aged 60 years. Although a
sick man since last fall. the ambassa-
doris death was due to a relapse
caused by exposure on inaugural day.
Against the advice of his physicians,
Senior AzDiroz left his sick room and
attended the inaugural ceremonies at
the capitol where he came near faint
ing.
For years the ambassador has suf-
fered from gastritis and this weakened
his heart His death was unaccom-
panied by suffering.
Senior Don Azoiroz left his law of
fee to enter the Mexican army and
rendered gallant service in the upris-
ing of his country against the French
Intervention, rising from second lieu
tenant to colonel. After the fall of
Queretaro he was appointed prescott
ing attorney in the cOurt-martial of
Macmillan, Miramion and Meja.
When the revolution under Diaz
overthrow the existing government,
Azpiroz retired to private life.
In May, 1890, he became assistant
cabinet of General Diaz and held that
position until his appointment as first
ambassador of Mexico to the United
States.
The imperial house of Austria mas
always taken the position that Senior
Azpiroz, through his connection with
the court-matrial OF Macmillan. was
in part responsible for MaXimilian's
execution, and during the early days
of the service of Senior AzDiroz at
Washington this fact proved of keen
embarrassment to himself and the
Austrian representative. Finally it
was arranged that when brought to-
gether at official functions these two
diplomats should exchange formal
greetings. This however, was not un-
til an embarrassing incident had oc-
Cured at the White House during the
administration of Mckinley, when the
Mexican ambassador was assigned to
escort to the dining room the wife OF
the Austrian ambassador. and the lat
ter felt compelled to decline
The ambassador is survived by
widow and two daughte and his son,
second secretary of the embassy
Messages of coincidence were sent to
the Mexican government by President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War Adee.
