Story of Fluff,

Our Fluff was nothing but a little
chicken, a common little chicken, but
We loved her more than most things;
! Ned loved her more than ever his
tin soldiers.
You see. there were several reasons
for it. One was that Fluff was live
thing, and though it's we'll enough to
/ make believe sometimes, it is not we'll
to do it all the time.
Then, you see, and this was the big
! reason, mother had Matched Fluff in
! the oven, to give us a playmate dur
ing those bitter cold days, when we
were shut in the house. And we had
been father and mother to Fluff, Ned
| her shell.
And when she grew up, like any 9TH
er chick, she'd follow us about the
house, and. indeed, all over the place,
just like a dog; and in the mornings
she'd give us no rest until we got up
and fed her. You see, Fluff loved us
TOO. which was more than dolls or tin
soldiers could do, though we made be-
lieve they did, of course.
One day they began building on the
lot next to ours, not a big house like
those they paint in picture books.
Ned and had one in our book. And
when the cottage was finished city
people came there, and Ned and l had
d neighbOr to visit.
We were very proper when we made
cur call, and told Fluff to stay at
home, but no sooner were we seated
on the front porch than there came
Fluff across the yard looking as dig
niied as could be. She hoped up the
steps and jumped right up to my lap,
and how every ose laughed.
Ned and l tried to explain that Fluff
couldn't understand why she was to
be left at home this time; but they
only laughed the more, and said that
Fluff was right; that it was very po-
lite in her to pay them visit
So they let her stay. and she was
very good, and made friends.
But one day Fluff went to pay call
by herself We had told her never
to go without us, but she disobeyed
is. and her disobedience cost her her
life.
Of course it was strange dog, and
when Fluff refused to be driven home
by him they fought it out, and no
one could stop them.
We had a funeral, and put a stone
over her grave. and Ned painted on it:
Here lies Fluff,
Our dear loved chick,
Who tried to bluff
The strange dog Nick.
We never knew what the strange |
dogs name really was, but Ned said |

A special to the Morning Jour nal from Washington under date of May 31st states thatan agree has been reached whereby the joint statehood bill will be re- ported tomorrow or next day on the basis of the first Foraker amendment.
 There is an astounding story current here tonight that the agreement will carry a provis- ion to the effect that all present county, district and territorial officers, including the present delegnteS in congress from Ari- zona and New Mexico, shall hold over for another two years in case constitution is not carried at the fall election. This provis- ion would, in the event of failure of the constitution, simply keep the present delegates in congress and all other county and district officers in the two territories in office for another full term oftwo years without an election. An effort is being made to modify this provision so that the pro-
