of no mans land. Then both England
and France decided to annex it, and
orders came to two warships to proceed

of the reefs that surround the island,

rived he saw the tricolor flying from a
hill. and he was invited to come in and
lunch on French soil.

Tne Days Work.

Much Of the success of life depends
on proper preparation for the days
work. Most people work either in the
home or office, and they desire to get
the most out IF themselves. To rise
late, rush through the toilet and gulp
down a hasty breakfast is no prepare
ton for good days work, yet it Is
safe TO say that the majority Of women
begin the day in this way. 1t is just as
easy to rise in plenty Of time If one
will only do IT, The tendency on wax
ing is to stretch and yawn. \ few
minutes spent in this deep breathing is
always restful. This should be fol-
lowed by n few breaths Of fresh air,
drinking couple glasses of water, ex-
ercises that suit the case. the bath and
toilet. This forms a mental attitude
consistent with a good days work. A
simple breakfast-some take none
should follow before an unhurried jour
ney either to office or the routine Of
homework. Stand erect, breathe erect,
think erect. and half the battle OF life
Is won -Housekeeper.

will Immediately migrate campaign
to enforce the Sunday closing laws
against the saloons, compel them to
close up during restricted hours and to
obey other provisions of the code that

actment. This is the apnonced policy
of the successor to j. c. Thomas, who
has just come to Seattle from Ohio, to
make this his headquarters. The ulti-
mate intention of the league, as out.
lined BY Mr.. Cherington, is to close up
the saloons in the state Of Washington.

BOYCOTTcRS READY TO QUIT.
Chinese Who Started Trouble Have
Had cn0uah.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Consul Gener-
al Rogers, at Shanghai. has cabled the
state department that the Chinese
chamber of commerce at that place
deprecates the continuance Of the boy
colt in China against American goods
which, the merchants say, is attribut-
able in large part to the students.
Business is being seriously affected.
This dispatch is regarded here as very
significant.
The boycott was first instituted at
Shanghai, and singularly enough, by
the chamber of commerce which is
now SO anxious to terminate it. Ac-
cording to reports to the state depart
ment, the agitation extended as far
south as the Straits Settlements, where
the import business is largely controll-
ed by Chinese merchants, and Consul
General WILDER stated that the Shang-
hal boycott, as proclaimed by the
chamber of commerce, has been adopt
ed by the chamber of commerce at
Singapore.
From Mr.. Rogers report it is inferr-
ed that the merchants who started the
boycott have found that they suffered
heavy losses in trade and are DESTROYS
of removing it. The department has
also been informed that Minister Rock
bill has secured the aid of the Chinese
government in stopping the anti Amer
loan movement.

crossing Boring sea the weather was a
succession of storms. Az a result of
their three days trip they reached

I loved girl when l was young.
A girl l dared not try to kiss;
On love was shy and found no tongue,
But eyes told tales we could not miss.
The years have stretched a lifetime now,
And l have loved more girls than one
And I have kissed with deepest vow.
And kissed before | knew twas done.
And that first girl l never met
After her pigtails coiled her head:
And l cant say my eyes were wet
When someone told that she was dead.
Yet there it is; she is the one,
The only one Of women all,
Now that the list is closed and done,
Whom dreams of day and night recall.
Only last night she came to me.
Still silent came as shy and sweet.
And then | learned what life might be
Dream-dawn | sought my sweetheart

Within that haven reached at last,
There came no echo save of rest
From all the lifelong weary past.
