 Now. you keep your eyes on things, pa. You'd better not go of the place all day. You might weed out my flower garden this afternoon, and you might give the cellar clean. ing-up. It needs 1t the worst way
 Yes, and the barn ought to be put to rights. You might as we'll do 1t as to sit around doing nothing all day. A little work and exercise are good even for old folks. I wish that you would fix that broken panel of fence at the back part of the garden. guess you'll find pottering around Kind of work enough to last you all day"
 There was gathering gloom on the face of the little old man standing at the barn yard gate as he listened to these words from his son and daughterin-law. They and their three rosy and happy children were about to drive away to attend the "big day. at the county fair over in Hadley, six miles distant, and the old man was to be left at home to Took after the place."
 This duty had fallen to the old mans portion every time his son Hugh and his family had gone any where for the past six months. He had acquiesced meekly enough, but there was always a spirit of rebellion in his heart.
 T am always left at home to look after the place. said the old man, bitterly. "A little work is good for old folks, is it. hey? Then I'd ort to be amazin' healthy, for I work all O the time. wonder If little pleasure wouldn't be good for old folks now an then? Hugh an his wife never seem to think O that. b'lieve that Hugh an Lyddy reely plume them selves on bein' mighty gen'rous be- cause they give me home As if l didn't more than pay my way! Made . hand in the hay field all summer. Nobody gives me home! I earn one, by Joel"
 He held his head erect and squared his sloping shoulders. There was sudden concentration of all his will power, and his voice sounded harsh and strained as he said aloud: T sha'n't do mite O work this day blamed if l do! I don't care what

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The pretty Irish playlet "The old Neighborhood" has lost none of its charm and is delighting the audi. ences at the Jacques this week whore 1t is the headline feature. MT Cal- lahan is one of the best of characttr comedians in vaudeville and is ably supported by Miss Jennie St George who is a harpist of rare ability. The Bottomley trio troupe of acrobats are local boys and have a very sensa- tional high bar offering. They per- form daring stunts in mid-air and work with skill and smoothness. Many of the boys friends attend each performance and give them a biz re- ception. Ali Grant and Mis- Ethel Hoag have a very amusing convsrsa- tional comedy act. Nils 1la Grammar sings several of the latest popular sings. The Levinos, Martini and Maximilian, the Krattons and the electograph are other features.

Hugh and Lyddy say when they
 come home! I'll give 'em as good
 as they send if they say much to me !!
 If l had fit things to wear I'd dress
 up an go to the fair, but as it is, I'll just lazy round the place all day, an have that much of a good time"
 He thrust his hand into his pocket and drew forth an old leather wallet, which he opened. There was nothing in it but two-dollar bill and some old newspaper clippings. The old man looked at the money and said a little bitterly: That's all I have left O my last quarters pension noE.y. The rest O it went for the new things Hugh's children are wearin', an that they didn't hav the grace to thank me for. an some O the money went for Lyddy's new bunnit she's so set over. an the rest helped to pay for the new harness the horse has on. There want dollar to spare for some new harness for myself. That's the way 1t goes. Just as soon as l get my pension money a lot O new things are needed, an Hugh an Lyddy think I don't need any money, as l am so we'll provided for here. Provided for! Humph,"
 A feeble smile of comfort came into the tear-stained old face as he said: But I've got ahead of 'em in one way. I've got s350 in the bank that they don't know a thing about. an that they ain't goin' to know a thing about had that much saved up an in the bank when sold my place. an I'm thankful I had sense enough to keep my mouth shet about it. An yet I don't dare draw an spend a cent O it. or they'd be fierce to know where I got the money. But who cares what Hugh and Lyddy say? don't, Drat 'em, I'm eoin' to fetch out some papers an my pipe. an one O Myra's pies that she told me not to touch. an a piller. an just lay round on the grass an enjoy n.y. self all day. been under the lions paw long enough"
 Two hours later the old man was in the full enjoyment of his bold de iance of Hugh and Lyddy. He was sitting in the shade. with his back to the apple tree. bis pipe in his mouth. and in full enjoyment of . book he had long wanted to find time to read. when he heard the gate creak on its hinges.
 Looking up he saw q small. alert looking woman of perhaps sixty-cdd years of age entering the gate. She wore a clean but faded calico dress. and she had stifny ssarrhed blaeand- white gingham sunbonnet on her AnnA I1s ssabonnss vas -Iined vitA

 Months Absence Strengthening Out Affairs In Canal Zone ana
 Cuban Capital. WASHINGTON, April 24.-Return. ing to Washington after a months ab. sence, Secretary Taft has resumed his routine duties at the war department. It Is doubtful if in his Washington experience the secretary has had to deal with more newspaper men than the swarm which surrounded him at his office. Of course they were inter- ested in his southern journey, but they were mainly desirous to learn just what the secretary intended to do in answer to the challenge which Senator Toraker had issued in regard to the contest in Ohio. The secretary, how. ever, frankly told them that he did not feel that 1t was proper for him to make any kind of statement at this time as to his political opinions and plans.
 One point developed, however, that might be regarded as significant in view of the fact that 1t has been re- ported he had intended to cancel his proposed Philippine trip in order to go on the stump in Ohio.
 Replying to direct inquiry, the sec retary stated that it is his intention to sail for the Philippines about Sept. next.
 This statement was made, too, after the secretary had spent nearly two hours in close conference with the president. for after attending his first cabinet meeting In many weeks Secre- tary Taft was invited by the president to remain at the White House for luncheon, and that time was spent very profitably in free discussion not only of the secretary's observations in his southern trip, but also of the political developments here in his absence and of the policies to be pursued in the flu ture.
 What the plans are was not dis. closed, but after the luncheon the sec retary reiterated his statement that he intended to go to Ohio on Friday and would make three speeches while away from Washington-one long one at Gin cinnati on the occasion of the meeting of the Western Federation of the Yale Clubs. one at Dayton at the corner stone laying of the Young Mems Chris. tian association and another at Clncin- nati before the Business Mems club. But the secretary added, with smile. that none of these speeches would be in any sense political.
 Later in the summer he expects to go to Iowa and to Minnesota, in each case to address the state universities, but the secretary did not say that these addresses would be nonpolitical He was wanted in Oklahoma, and he said he would go if he could. He had been told that bitter political fight was to be waged there, and if he went into the new state he would have to enter that fight.

Sir Robert lunched with District Attorney Jerome and went through the Tombs.

Such streets would never be tolerated even in the small provincial towns of Great Brit ain. l noticed many streets where the stones seemed to have been thrown in loose in any fashion,"

Fred said crop prospects in Wis
consin were very poor. Garden
stuff is not growing at all, hay is
poor, the grain is just peeping
through the ground. The
weather there has been very cold
all spring and Fred said he wore
his overcoat only a day or so be-
fore leaving for home. Crops
all along the route were none of
the best and grain on the prairie
is looking better than any seen
except, perhaps, some near
Helena, Montana.

Closing of ParOchiaI School.

Today marks the close of the
first full school term of the
Catholic parochial school at this
place, the term having covered
nine and one-half months. In
honor of the closing of the term
the children who attended school
this term and some who attended
last year, numbering about one
hundred in all, were taken for
a picnic and day of general en-
joyment yesterday to the Gobel
farm at the foot of the mountain
west of town. The merry crowd
of children were driven to the
picnic ground in four 4-horse
rigs provided by Messrs. H. H.
Nuxoll, Tackle, Duclos and
Jenny.
This morning, Friday, June
21st, high mass in celebration
of the feast of St. Aloysius, pat
ron saint of the school, was read
at $3.50 o'clock, the shool children
singing for the mass songs the
Gregorian chant. After mass
they adjourned to the school
where a number of religious and
patriotic songs were sung.
Father Berthold, the pastor,
then delivered a short address,
after which the report cards and
examination papers were dis
tributed and the school dismiss
ed.
1t might be we'll to say here
that this school was started in
December, 1905, and Sisters
Agatha and Thecla, who taught
the first partial term, also taught
the full term just closed. The
total enrollmsnt for this tern
was 80 and there were some 6e
scholars attending up to the las
day. All of the school patrons
express themselves as being
highly pleased with the schoo
and the progress made by the
students and the Sisters are tx
be thanked for the work they
have accomplished since thu
school started.
Father Berthold, pastor of the
parish, wishes to thank all thu
patrons of the school for theil
patronage and hopes the same
good feelings and conditions will
exist next term, also that all the
children just dismissed will b.
able to resume their studies
again this fall.
