DISMAL DAYS FOR WILLIE.

And has bought himself some dumb
bells which will make his

He goes walking every morning with

But it makes him mad when mother
thinks he ought to rake the
lawn.
Sisters got a tennis racquet and she
plays with all her might,
Every day she keeps it going and is
tired out at night,
But whenever mother wants her to
help sweep or get a meal
She forgets that life is pleasant and
you ought to hear her squeal.
Oh, l wish that I'd an uDcle living on

THE LEGEND OF RosALEEN

bAWN.
Grandmother, tell us about the girl
With eyes of the green-blue-gray;
How she dared to sing in the fairy
rath,
And the fairies stole her away;
How a single thread of her hair was
found
On the rowan bushes near;
How her mourning mother prayed
her back,
To bide for a single year.
Tell of the strange, still way she had,
And the strange, fond words she
knew,
That would lure the cooling dove from
it's mate
And the timid lamb from the eve.
Tell how she moved like a gliding
swan,
Or the mist that floats in the glen;
Tell of her songs, SO strangely sweet
That none could sing them again.
Tell how in that last cleaning time,
AS up from the fields she came,
To the sound of fairy music breathed,
She heard her own sweet name
"Rosaleen, Resaleen, Rosaleen!'-
And there by the door-stone lay,
AS wan and thin as a moonlit mist,
The mounted court of the fay.
Tell US about those prancing steeds,
With their names of flowing light,
Saddles studded with beamy pearls,
And shoes of the silver bright;
Tell how they flung their arching
necks,
And neighed like the signing breeze
When it whispers tidings of coming
rain
To the leaves of the thirsty trees.
Tell us about the fairy king
How his mantle cleaned and shone,
Green of hue as the emerald grass,
And with dewy diamonds sown;
Tell of the red, red cap he were,
Bound round with a golden ring;
Of his bloomy cheek, and his laugh
ing eye,
And his shimmering rainbow wing.
Tell us about the fairy court
Gay little him ard her;
How quick and merry and bright and
sweet
And daintily wee they were;
Their floating tresses Of moony gold,
Their garments of film and sheen;
How the tints of a thousand flowers
fair
In their tremulous wings were seen.
Tell US about the harpers nine
Who played such ravishing strains
The nimble page who tightly held
A riderless palfrey's reins
The waving banners, and all the rest;
And how, ere cleaning was gone,
The fairies had vanished forever afar
With Rosaleen, Rosaleen Bawn.

years, Mrs. Hattlebough, II, II
San Jose, Cal. demands an accounting
from her brother, Prescott Boynton,
of this city, of $4,000, which she al
leges was entrusted to his care. Mrs.
Hattlebough claims that since 1901
she has received no report as to the
money. The defense has objected TO
producing the books and the question
as to whether Boynton can be forced
to present the records will be settled
in the circuit court. Mrs. Hattie
bough was widow at the time the
money was given to Boynton, but a
few years ago was married second
time to leader of the Salvation

Shafts at Cannon.

Springfield, Ill.,, Sept 4.-Speaker
Cannon was the target OF some sting
ing shafts at the labor day celebra-
ton yesterday afternoon, directed by
Ben F. Caldwell, former democratic
congressman from this district, and
former Governor Yates. Caldwell
accused Cannon of keeping the
"eight-hour day" bill from the floor
of the house and also charged the
senate with arrogantly killing bills.
Yates, interpreting Caldwell's position
as a challenge, said: Il don't want
to let Congressman Caldwell put me
in the attitude of defending the rule
of Joseph G.. Cannon, speaker of the
house. l am for an eight-hour day

LAND CRABS QUEER WAYS.
Once a Year They Travel to the Sea
to Battle and to Lay Their Eggs.

to Battle and to Lay Their Eggs.
From Margaret Wentworth Leigh
toms Grabs and Their Habits in St.
Nicholas.-Does it not seem wonderful
that some crabs should live on Hloun-
tains, 1000 feet high? They have, in
addition to the lung, little reservoir
of water within their bodies for mo1S-
tening the breathing apparatus when
ii becomes dry. Though dwelling so
far from the sea, they have strong
affection for their old home, and once
year they make a pilgrimage to it
to battle and deposit their eggs. They
go in May (the rainy season on the
islands in the Pacific and Indian
oceans, where they live), in vast
hordes, straight to the sea.
Rev. Thomas Seedlings says in his
History of the Crustacea: THE
army is often mile and a half long
and 40 or so PAGES broad Each SOL
der marches sideways. They go over
everything that comes in they way,
be it hedges, houses, churches, hills
or cliffs They would rather Chamber
up at the peril of their lives than
in at the windows on one side OF a
house, right over the occupants, who
may be asleep in bed, and out at
those on the other side, causing the
the people no little fright. The van
guard, composed wholly OF males,
starts some days before the main
army. The noise which they make is
like the rattling of armor. If any
luckless soldier falls and breaks his
limbs he is Immediately gobbled up
by his companions"
Unlike most sea-crabs, the young OF
the land-crabs, do not pass through a
number of changes, but the little ones
are perfect when they leave the egg.
They lie on the seashore, clinging to
the rocks, and enjoying themselves for
some time before they go to their
home in the hills.
