The stranger glanced around in sur
prise, but responded:

When the sun IL was a-sinking. and tn.

When the sun IL was a-sinking, and the
chickens were a-blinking,
And the whippoorwill was raising Of a
row,
Then Sally of the dairy, with a smile just
like q fairy,
Would go out to do the milking of the
COW.
Upon this one occasion. and without the
least persuasion,
And while upon stool the girl re-
clined-
Yea, while her tender fingers yet upon
the udder fingers
That devil Of a COW kicked out behind
Poor Sally went a-sprawling and for her
sister calling,
And shortly she was carried off to bed,
But the doctors soon announced in tones
the most pronounced
That ere thu sun had risen she'd be
dead
o maiden young and fair, with a life so
free from care,
BE careful when a-milking you do goi
Keep ii ever on your mind that the COW
may kick behind
When the golden sun is sinking in his
glow.
The blacksmith is a strong. rugged
fellow, and l did not look for senti-
ment in his composition. Great was
my surprise, therefore, to see him
burst into tears after reading the poem
over to himself and to have him take
me by the hand and exclaim in a
broken voice:
ABE, it is the sweetest thing ever
written in all this world 1t will make
my wife faint away when she reads it,
but as soon as she comes to she will
begin to feel better and soon shake
off her sadness. BY thunder, but I'd
give a million dollars if l had it if
could touch the human heart like you
can. Your horse can cast every shoe
and your cart break down every other
day, but all repairs will be made at
this shop free gratis"
y day or two later 7 learned that his
wife did faint away upon reading the
poem and remained in q swoon for
eighteen hours, but came out of it at
last to ask for fried pork and potatoes
boiled with their jackets on, and after
a hearty meal began to live again
There was only one more call on my
muse that day. The Widow Spicer,
whose husband died nine years ago,
suddenly remembered the fact as
stopped to hand out her mail. and to
comfort and console her I invented the
following:

BREST FESTIVITIES.
Continued Enthusiasm Over British
and French Naval Reunion.

BREST, July 12.-The Franco British ma
val festivities continue to arouse much en-
thusiasm. The British commander, Rear
Admiral May, gave a luncheon at noon to-
day to the French officers. The health of
King Edward and President Loubet was
drank with toasts expressing the united
spirit of the French and their navies. The
parties of British sailors which have land
ed here have been enthusiastically received
by the French sailors and townspeople.
The harbor front and Main streets are
deliberately decorated with British and
French emblems and flags. The municipal
ity of Brest gave garden party to the
British officers this afternoon. The latter
will leave Brest for Paris tonight to take
part in the celebration Of the French ma
tional holiday July IA.

THE POLICY OF NATIONS
NOT BASED ON SENTIMENT OR
ANTIPATHY NOWADAYS
Former Foreign Minister Delcasse Elk
ploits Views on the Recent Naval
Amenities at Brest.

PARIS. July 12.-Former Foreign Min
lister Delcasse. in the course of an inter-
view published by the Gaulois today upon
the British and French naval amenities at
Brest, was induced to discuss his general
policy relative to Great Britain and Ger
many. He said:
THE policy of nations nowadays is not
based on sentiment or antipathy, out upon
their material interests. AS between Ger
many and Great Britain our commercial
balance shows where our interests lie. Great
Britain is our best purchaser, while Ger
many buys almost nothing of us and tries
to sell us all she can. Moreover, 1t is EVIL
dent that we could not leave open irritat-
ing controversies with Great Britain which
might precipitate an armed struggle, for
Great Britain holds indisputably the en-
pire of the seas. For every warship we
build she builds four five.
1T is therefore well to accept these mani
fest facts and consider the value which
British cooperation would give us In GER
tain eveIkualties The greatest intrinsic
value of such cooperation would be the
virtual impossibility in which 1t would
place Germany of making war upon US.
The Moroccan Issue.
NJ. Delcasse was asked if he considered
the recent menaces in connection with
Morocco as being serious. He replied: mot
at all. In case of war Great Britain would
be surely with us against Germany, and
then what would the infant fleet of Ger
many amount to? What would become OF
her ports? OF her commerce? or her
merchant marine? 1t would mean ami
hilation. That is the real significance of
the present exchange of visits Of the Brit
ish and French squadrons. An understand
ing between these two powers and coall-
ton of their navies would create a naval
war machine SO powerful that neither Ger
many nor any other power would risk con-
illusions upon the sea. 1t Is the which
1t is necessary to command today, a%d the
war in the far east has conclusively dem
onstrated that"
His Policy Outlined.
Continuing, NJ. Delcasse discussed the
probable effect of his policy If it had been
pursued. THE Anglo-French cordial
derstanding," he said, was an achievement
toward a definite understanding between
Russia and Great Britain, and this further
the French minister for foreign affairs.
The success of such a task would have
strengthened our influence in British coun-
ellis and assured for a long time the peace
of the world"
In cor clusion NJ. Delcasse was asked for
his opinion of France accepting confer
ence on Morocco, to which he gave the fol-
lowing textual response:
go to a conference Is a mistake-and
such a mistake!'
