During the hottest part Of the night
the lad amused himself by chasing .

here and there. carrying death and
destruction wherever they went To
these neither goat nor boy seemed to

British Soldiers Played the Naslons,

the British soldiers were stationed on
Long Island. The inhabitants had hid.

places. One lady concealed some gold
coins In a ball-shaped pincushion of
the kind worn by the Dutch house.

She was sitting sewing one day
when q party of British soldiers en-.
tered the room. A young oflicer, spy.
Ing what to him was novelty. cut
with his sword the ribbon by which
the cushion was hung and began
game Of ball.
Soon the rest Of the company Joined
the sport. Boisterously, from hand
to hand. the ball was batted to and
fro. It was roughly snatched and
tossed, and sometimes 1t fell into the
ashes Of the fireplace, and barely es.
capped confiagration. Now and again
q soldier would catch It on the tin Of
his sword and send 1t spinning on
with rent In its side.
Every moment threatened to reveal
the precious contents. To show the
least anxiety was to betray the secret,
and the owner was forced to sit un.

and to zee her fortune flying through
the air, at the mercy Of the enemy. At
last the cushion. torn and battered.
but still guarding its treasure. was re-
turned to Its mistress. and the intrud-
ers. tired Of their play. left the house.

THE SPRING SHOWS.

Sunday seems to be the day for
snow. For three weeks in succession
we have had a snow storm on that
day and two of them have been the
real thing, too. With warm sun,
however, such as we now have, the
snow cannot last long and the only
result Is a great deal of slush and
much disagreeableness to everybody.
We can all find comfort in the fact
that the storms must cease some time
soon Spring birds have already
been heard and budding trees and
blossoms will be with US in few
weeks. 1t is much better to have all
the winter now and have it over with
than to have a real warm spell fol-
lowed by snow and freezing weather
to kill all the fruit blossoms.

terests of corporations seeking pos.
session of tracts of the national
woodlands. The act was passed re-
gardless of the fact that on these sew
enteen million acres surveys had been
made and the necessary papers pre-
pared for their conversion into forest
reserves.
President Roosevelt was equal TO
the emergency. BY stroke of his
pen he added these acres to the ma
tional forest reserve. The next coIl-
gress will not dare attempt to over
ride the presidents action, nor will
the majority have any desire to. 1t is
more probable that greater power
will be given TO the presidential ell
bow. NEWARK Advertiser.

But If the bill should be defeated
in the senate by the tactics proposed,
that will not put q quietus to the ag-
itation for its passage. The same
measure is also pending in the as
sembly, where it has been fathered
by MIR. Alexander. of Hudson. AL
though this bill has the same defects
as the Colby one, Mr.. Alexander has
signified his willingness to ha 1t
amended on the same lines as the
proposed change in the senate meas
ure, and there is a probability that 1t
will be reported in corrected form to
the assembly as a. committee substi-
tute. The sentiment of the house
majority is favorable to the plan, and
1t may be expected that the bill will
pass by the aid of both republican
and democratic votes. This will put
the whole matter before the senate
again, and will force the members of
that body to go on record squarely
either for or against the System of IL
rect nominations. There will be no
escape from accepting responsibility,
and the senators must choose be-
tween acting in accordance with the
wishes of the political bosses or COM
plying with the demands of the peo-
