"A priest had taken out sports

of building a church in the event OF
his hunting venture being successful.
He shot fine elephant with heavy
tusks. and while he was examining the
animal natives appeared and claimed

said. to their chief Maquenda. To
cIinch their claims they asserted that
the elephant had been lame. and point

hunters. This happy discovery put
an end. at least for time, to this
abominable measure. for the circum-

TRUE FREEDOM AND HOW TO GAIN IT.
By CHARLES MAcKAY.

2 want no flag, Haunting rag
For Liberty to fight;
We want no blaze OF murderous guns,
To struggle for the right.
Our spears and swords are printed words,
The mind our battleplain;
We've won such victories before.
And SO we shall again.
We love no triumphs sprung Of force
They stain her brightest cause:
Tis not in blood that Liberty
InscrIbes her civil laws.
She writes them on the peoples heart
In language clear and plain;
True thoughts have moved the world before,
And so they shall again.
We yield no more in earnest love
or freedoms cause sublime;
We ioin the cry. Fraternity"
We keep the march of Time.
And yet we grasp nor pike nor spear
Our victories to obtain;
We've won without their aid before
And so we shall again
We want no aid of barricade
To show front to wrong;
We have a citadel in truth,
More durable and strong.
Calm words, great thoughts, unfiinching faith,
Have never striven in vain;
They've won our battles many time,
And SO they shall again.
Peace progress, knowledge. brotherhood
The ignorant may sneer.
The bad deny; but we rely
To see their triumph near.
No widows groans shall load our cause,
No blood of brethren stain;
We've won without such aid before.
And so we shall again.

It Is quite likely that the taste Of
the water during the summer is due
to certain salts found in the water at
that season Of the year. The reason
that this taste appears in the summer

Some Trouble Is Also Experienced In Getting Wickersham Confirmed

Washington, June H.-Two contested nominations were before the Senate today in executive session. They were Benjamin F. Barnes, assistant secretary to Presl- dent Roosevelt. and named for postmaster of Washington. and James Wickersham, to be judge of the United States court for the district of Alaska. There was an understanding that vote would be taken on the Barnes nomination today, but the Wickersham case was first on the calen- dar.
 Senator Carter moved to displaee the Wickersham case and this was done by a vote of 20 to r. By this time 1t was so late that it appeared that a vote could not be had without night session and the case went over till 8 o'clock Satur- day.
 The opposition is being led by Senator Tillman The Wickersham case was taken up again, and an unavailing effort was made by Senators Foraker and Bailey to get a vote.

 The trouble was caused by an intoxi- cated colonel, who, hearing litter from group of enlisted men, sabred one of the soldiers. The latters companions thereupon fell on the colonel with clubs. Two of the soldiers were arrested, and as soon as the news spread, the regi- ment mutinied and demanded the re- lease of their comrades. Captain Kose- min, who ordered his company to fire upon the mutineers, was killed by his own men.
