PremonltOry Poem.

I'd like to write OF gentle spring;
OF balmy breezes. birds that sing,
OF butterflies upon the wing,
And daises growing near;
I'd like to write Of soft blue skies,
The love light in fair Nelie's eyes,
The charm OF mothers rhubarb pies,
And also cool book beer.
I'd live TO write of robins red
And little iledglings 10 be fed;
OF planting panses 10 the bed,
And fancy climbing peas
Ia like to write Of grass so green
And woods where violets are seen,
And also OF the early bean
Excuse me while sneeze.
I'd like to write of spring. butt
Have yet to note soft blue sky,
Or see cloudlet floating by;
OF butteih es, and so
| will not write OF gentle spring;
No verses fr m my pen III fling,
Because as sure as anything,

THE DOCTORS WIFE Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac- tice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape Nuts food that I unhesitatingly recommend it to all my patients.
 Tt is delicate and pleasing to the palate Gan essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being so softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen water very nourishing and refreshing. This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape Nuts in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit deal of nourishment that even the out any distress.
 My husband is a physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it many times for his patients.
 Personally I regard a dish of Grape Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the ideal breakfast for anyone-weH or sick Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.
 In any case of stomch trouble, ner- vous prostration or brain flag, a 10 days trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward nourishing and rebuilding, and in this way ending the trouble. There's a reason" and trial proves.

 OF A HERO
General F. D. Baldwin
 Reaches Age Limit
An Active and Continuous Military Career Which Began at the Opening of the Civil War.

Washington, June 26.-General Frank Dwight Baldwin, commanding the southwestern division with headquar- ters at Oklahoma City, was retired by age today. He has served longer and more actively perhaps than any officer connected with the military establish ment. He enlisted in the civil war with the Michigan horse guards, in which he served as second lieutenant from September 19 to November 22, 1861. He was promoted to first lieu tenant March 19. 1862 He was made captain January 23, 1864, and was mus tered out of the volunteers June 10, 1865.
 He entered the regular service as second lieutenant of the Nineteenth infantry, February g, 1866, and having been promoted to first lieutenant he was transferred to the Thirty seventh infantry and later to the Fifth infantry. He reached the rank of captain. March 20. 1879, and major, April 26. 1898. He was transferred to the Third infantry a year later. His promotion then was rapid and he passed through the vari- ous grades until he was made brigadier general June 9. 1902.
 His promotion to his captaincy was for gallantry in action against Indians in Texas and his promotion to the rank of major was a reward for his gall lantry and for his successful attack on Sitting Bulls camp on Red Water river. He was awarded a medal of honor for distinguished bravery at the battle of Peach Tree Creek, Ga, July 20, 1864, while serving as captain of the Nineteenth Michigan infantry. He was voted a second medal for bravery in the Indian campaign in Texas ten years later.
 He commanded the first body of civ ilized troops that ever reached the south shore of Lake Lando island Of MindanaO, and after a desperate en- counter with MOros at 7the battle of Bylan, May ?, 1909, he completely van- quished' them
 After his service in the Philippines he was appointed to the command of the department of the Colorado, whence The was raised to the command of the southwestern division.

St. Petersburg, June 26.-At today's sitting of the lower house an interpeI- laion regarding the restrictions i'm posed upon the press led to a general discussion of the subject. many Of the speakers vigorously attacking the gov ernment. NJ. Gamarteli. a member from the Caucasus, expressed satisfac- tion at the revolutionary. agitation in the army and M. FeOdorOvsky. in be- half of the ministry. which. he declared must remain outside the political arena as otherwise Russia would have 10 undergo a series of revolutions
 Several speeches on the subject Of the Cossacks referred to the spread Of liberal ideas among the troops and practically were open appeals to the Cossacl1s to refuse to continue to do police duty.
 At the conclusion of the debate the house adopted a resolution to the ef- feet that the summoning of the sec ond and third categories of Cossack reserves to the colors without the i'm perial warrant was illegal. as also was the use of the Cossacks' whips in street disorders and demanding an explana- tion of the ministry

DAMAGE
 SAYS J. 0. ARMOUR
Speaking of the Effect of the Inc
 spectiOn Agitation.

New York, June 26.-J. ogden Ar mour. head of one of the largest of the Chicago packing houses. accompanied by his wife and daughter, Lolita, who has been under the care of Professor Lorenz. in Vienna, arrived here to- day on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. In a statements made public tonight MT. Armour has the following to say re- garding the recent packing house ex- posures:
 ''On summing up what has been said about the packers and what has been done to the packing industry, one nat uralIy inquires: What has become of our bOasted American fair playY
 "One of the largest American indus tries has been attacked and attacked without reason in a way that has dis credited American goods of all kinds abroad, All over Europe there is open agitation for a boycott on American products.
 '"The entire export trade of this country has been badly damaged. To estimate the total loss no wwould be merely guess work. It may run into the hundreds of millions. When Am erican industries are slandered by persons who pretend to speak as Am ericans. it is to be expected that for eign competitors will take advantage of it.
 "As the report of the National As sociation of Manufacturers, which T have just read we'll puts it, the pur- pose of the "reformers" seems to have been to kill the industry first and then reform it.
 There is some satisfaction in the way users of Chicago meats. and es- pecially canned meats are now testi- flying to their quality in the face of what has been said. San Francisco would have starved to death after the earthquake and fire if Chicago canned meat had not been at hand. and the health department. says that period was the healthiest in the city's history English army officers and inspectors are giving similar testimony. It Is gratifying that the developments are proving the unfair character of the Neill-Reynolds report.

Speaker Cannon Will Keep Open House Un-
 til All Work Is Finished
Notice Served that the Pure Food Bill Must Become Law, Also Rate Bill, and that Meat Inspection Shall Be Fact.

Washington, June 26.-Congress will stay in session until its work is fin- ished. This is the dictum of Speaker Cannon and his lieutenants and is be- ing emphasized at this time to counter act any impression that the pure food bill at least might go. over until the next session.
 There is also trouble on the meat inspection bill, and the tie up'' on the railroad rate bill indicates delay. The immigration bill is also in conference. as are several of the appropriation bills
 All of these things must be worked out without any date of adjournment being set, according to the decision of the house leaders. When the work is done an adjournment resolution will be forthcoming in short order.
 While the situation today spells de- lay until next week, the work on the floor is progressing. Members say there is no need of prolonging the session be- yond Friday if the conferees make up 'their minds that the work must be done or that agreements which will meet all demands can be arranged on all matters before that time and that if the idea of prolonging the session for the purpose of killing certain bills is abandoned this week will see the end

 During the day the naval appropria- ton bill, which has been in conference for several weeks, was finally passed, the senate receding from its amend ment-concerning the naval training station at Port Royal, s. C., which was the only item remaining in contra versy
 The most interesting incident was q conflict over a motion by Senator La Toilette to enter upon the considera- ton of the bill, limiting to sixteen hours the time railway employees engaged in the movement of trains may be em- ployed consecutively. There was great difficulty. in securing a voting quorum. but the requisite number ultimately was obtained. Several speeches were made on the bill
