San Francisco.

Serene, indifferent to Fate,
Thou sittest at the western gate;
Upon thy heights so lately won
Still slant the banners of the sun;
Thon seest the White seas strike their
tents,
. Warder of two continents!
And scornful of the peace that flies
Thy angry winds and sullen skies,
Thou drawest all things, small or great,
To thee, beside the western gate.
On, lions whelp, that hidest fast,
In Jungle growth of spire and mast,
| know thy cunning and thy greed
Thy hard, high lust and willful deed
And all thy glory loves TO tell
OF specious gifts material.
Drop down, o fieecy fog, and hide
Her sceptic sneer, and all her pride!
Wrap her, o fog, in gown and hood
OF her Franciscan Brotherhood.
Hide me her faults, her sin and blame,
With thy gray mantle cloak her shame!
So shall she, cowled, sit and pray
Till moring bears her sins away.
Then rise O fleecy Fog, and raise
The glory of her coming days;
Be as the cloud that fecks the seas
/ Above her smoky argosies.
When forms familiar shall give place
To stranger speech and newer face;
When all her throes and anxious fears
Lie hushed in the repose of years;
When Art shall raise and Culture lift
The sensual joys and meaner thrift,
And all fulfilled the vision, We
Who watch and wait shall never see
Who, in the morning of her race,
Toiled fair or meanly in our place
But, yielding to the common lot,
Lie unrecorded and forgot.

The cutting off of passes by certain

Irish orator in contrasting the difference

country and America. He said: "Oyer

mile, the middle class two cents and the
laborers cent and half But inN aer-

mile, the merchant pays two cents ana
the rich ride on passes"

and Rev. NJ. p Law of South Haven

beauty of the services.

Today Is flag Day.

The American flag is 129 years old,
and Flag Day is intended to commence
rate its birth, or rather the act of the
Continental Congress, on June IA, 1777,
by which the Stars and Stripes were
selected as the emblem of this nation.
The flag has remained unchanged, from
that day to the present time, save for
the addition of stars occasionally, to
mark the admission of new states into
the union. Other nations have changed
their emblems, as the result of wars,
but the Stars and Stripes have remain
ed a permanent fixture in the galaxy of
nations, and constitute, it is claimed,
the Oldest flag in the world.
1t is right and proper that the ami
versary of the birth of this beautiful
emblem should be generally observed.
There are other anniversaries, such as
Memorial Day and the Fourth of July,
when lessons of patriotism are taught,
but Flag Day has significance that is
peculiarly its own, and entities it to re-
spect, as wei. as to general obser-
vance. OF late years the Daughters Of
the American Revolution have taken
particular pains to see that Flag Day is
observed in a fitting manner, and in
this they have performed valuable
service, by intoxicating in the American
people new love for the national en-
blem.

HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
Nc err Faces His Prey. hut Attacks It
ON the Flank.

l have taken considerable trouble to
ind out how tigers kill large game
Some time ago | was asked to come
and see a full grown bullock that had
been killed by a tiger. On examining
1t found the animal had its neck
broken, and there were claw marks
on the nose and shoulder, but nowhere
else. There was no doubt that the
tiger had jumped at the bull and land
ed on the shoulder and when the bull
turned his head to gore the tiger he
must have put his claw out and with
a sudden jerk broken the neck.
On another occasion l went to see
young buffalo which had been killed by
tiger and found the same thing had
happened There were similar marks
on the nose and also on the near shout
der, which clearly indicated that this
animal had been killed in the same
way. Malays who have actually seen
tiger killing a buffalo told me they
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off a heavy carcass. such
as buffalo or bull. he gets most of the
weight across Ills shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as l
have often followed Il KILL and the
marks left indicate that only a portion
OF the animal was trailing along the
ground. | have known a full grown
bull, which ten men could not move,
dragged for two miles by tiger in Il
heavy jungle, where roots Of trees and
swamp had to be gone through. In no
case have | seen the pug marks facing
the wrong way except when stopping
to feed, which proves he must carry
portion of the animal over his shout
der
The old lea of Il tiger killing large
game by blow from his paw is non
sense; besides. in India tiger never
faces his prey, but attacks him on the
flank unless charged Another curious
fact that may seem very like fairy
tale is that tiger Goes not seem to
mind Il small lamp being tied over
kill about ten feet high. but will come
and feed | have Known three ooca-
sions when this hu been tried, and
each time Il tiger has come to feed
upon the carcass.-London Field.

The Bengalf,

The Bengal has the best brains OF
all the peoples in India and the readi'
est tongue. His memory is prodigious
and his fertility in talk inexhaustible.
He is something of an Irishman, some
thing of an Italian, something OF a
Jew-if one can conceive an lrisbman
who would run away from fight III
stead of running into it, an Italian
without sense of beauty and Jew
who would not risk f5 on the chance
of making $500. He is very clever but
his cleyerness does not lead him far on
the road to achievement, for wien II
comes to doing. rather than talking.
he is easily passed by people of far
inferior ability-London Standard.

Among the humorous memories con-
nected with English judges is one OF
Justice Byles and his horse. This EN-
inent jurist was well known in his
profession for his work on Bills" and
as this gave tine opportunity for al
liberation his associates were accus
toned to bestow the name on the
horse, which was but sorry steed.
There goes Byles on Bills" they took
pleasure in saying, and as the judge
rode out every afternoon they INDUCED
daily in their little joke. But the truth
was that the horse bad another name.

and when too curious client inquired
as to the judges whereabouts he was

science, that master was out on Bust

Our high scno.l demonstrated its
base ball superiority over Platteville
Normal Saturday in closely contested
game at the fair grounds in this city.
The fielding of the high school boys
was the main feature of the game, be-
ing almost free from error entirely.
The result of the game was 2 to 0.
Tuesday, picnic day, the Shullsburg
high school base ball boys came to this
city and tested the prowess of the loo
al school boys. A large crowd witness
ed the contest, which resulted in favor
of the home boys, score II to 8. Those
familiar with the skill of both clubs
say that neither showed their best form.
Farmers throughout the country
are complaining of fly which is tor
menting the horses. The fly is a pecu-
liar specie and nothing like it has ever
been seen before. 1t gets up in the
horses ears, causing the ears to bleed
profusely. Horses are extremely uneasy
and there is danger of them running
away when left standing. on the street
or in the fields. The fly is very small, a
great deal smaller then the common
house fly, and is of considerable length.
Old residents say there was never any
thing like it in this country before and
they know of no remedy to apply to
protect the horse.
Shullsburg Pick and Cad: A specimen
of the genuine hoboe infested our city
last Friday, and tried to work our citi-
zens for some of the coin Of the realm.
He landed in town Thursday night, ac-
companied by an unquenchable thirst,
which he allayed to certain extent by
visiting our numerous saloons. Friday
morning he doped his chin and hand
with thick coat of white salve, and
proceeded to work the residence dis
trict. He represented that he had fallen
down shaft at Platteville while work
ing for mining company, and broken
his jaw, also receiving severe injuries
to his hand. We do not know how much
money he collected, and the fact that
he was fake was not discovered until
after his departure. Such characters
should be brought before a physician,
and if proven to be- faxes should be
placed at hard labor.
