After hours at the show to our home
we will go
For family chat by ourselves,
And we run up the stairs doing flip
fiops in pairs,
With the ease of number of elves.
Uncle William is old, been perform

Since the days of the first tented

But his pipe he will light with man.

With match that is held in his

Grandmamma-once admired in tho
ring, now retired
Waits for us in her own inglenook,
She is taking her ease on flying
trapeze
While persuing best-selling book,
Poor old grandpa is stiff, but his pipe
he can Whit
While he juggles bunch Of fresh
eggs,
And stands on his head while he hops
off to bed
For he likes to be kind to his legs.
Brother Joe often sings while he mer-
rily swings
BY his toes from the high chande-

And If callers come in he will soul
fully grin
And request them to tickle his ear;
Sister .Bess has to sew-she en-

But she cannot sit still; not all all
So she stitches each wreath while she
swings by her teeth
On rope that hangs out in the
hall.
Cousin Nell-she stands, with whip
In her hands
On a hobbyhorse that she will rock:
With "Hoop-la" she leaps through
a hoop where she keeps
Yarn for darning her papa's sock.

oreaon to Be Remodeled.

Washington.-The famous battleship
Oregon is to be modernized and Secre-
tary Metcalf has announced that he
had authorized the expenditure of
81 900, 600 out of the naval repair fund
for that purpose.
Of the best type of warship when
she was launched, the Oregon is al
most already obsolete and to make
her equal to modern men-of-war she
must be extensively overhauled.
The changes to be made viii be
similar to those ordered for her sister
ship Indiana, the most important be-
ing the substitution of balanced clip
teal turrets for the present round
turrets, which cause the ship to heel
heavily when all four of the big 12-
inch guns are pointed over the same
side of the ship. The alterations will
be made at the Puget sound naval sta
ton, where the Oregon has been lying
since her return from the Chinese sta
ton, and will consume one year.

but the Russian cannon dates back to
a time and place when atrocities were

Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition, which
will be held at Seattle in 1909. Here
is the story, as told by the sailors of

When Russia owned Alaska the gov.

was a formidable fighting craft

EAGLE WEIGHS A TON
BIG WOODEN FIGUREHEAD OF
-. THE WARSHiP NIAGARA.
Relic of the Old United States Navy
Will Be Sent to jamestown Expo
sition from the Charles.
town Navy Yard

Boston.-An immense eagle. ten teet
high and y feet long and Wa.-allg
about a ton, is incIcsed u r great
wooden cage at the ChaTlestowu navy
yard and within a day or 1WO will
start for the jamestown exposition Oh
a special, car ~ compliance with or
ders from the navy department at
Washinz on.
For many years this bird. which is
carved in wood has made its home at
the local yard. for good part of the
time resting on a large wooden pedes-
tai in the middle OF the gun park,
where it has been the wonder of thou
sands of visitors from all parts of the
world.
Carved with wonderful skill and
made in the strongest and most care
full manner, the eagle originally was de.
signed for use as a stem ornament on
the United States ship Niagara, and
for several years, or during the life
of that ship, on the active service list
of the navy the big bird proudly float
ed at the Niagara's PROV, his head pro-
truding over the water and the wings,
partly extended, resting against the
sides of the stem.
In order that the wings might fit
properly, a section of the birds back
was removed. and when the Niagara
was put out of commission and
stripped of its fittings at this yard
soon after the civil war the eagle was
removed and placed in one of the
buildings. Finally it was brought out
again, the back filled in, and it was
painted and set up on the pedestal
which had been built especially for it.
In order to make the bird still more
lifelike a pair of the largest artificial
eyes manufactured was purchased and
set in place. Probably no wooden
ship of the American navy ever had a
more striking or artistic stem orna-
ment than this great eagle.
While the local navy yards officials
are glad to be able to send so striking
an exhibit to the exposition, they are
fearful lest it never be returned. They
feel that it properly belongs to the
Chaflestown navy yard, and ought to
be kept here permanently. The Nj
agara was built here, in one of the old
wooden ship houses. which was re-
Gently torn down to make room for a
modern building, and the figurehead
has long been one of the sights of the
reservation.
Besides the eagle the navy yard is
to send to jamestown the historic
steel scroll which graced the stern Of
the flagship Olympia Of Admiral Dew
ey's squadron at the battle of Ma
Mia Bay. This piece has for some
time been on exhibition in the muse
um in the corridor of the main office
building of the department of con-
structiOn and repair.

GIVES BIG FARM TO NIECE.
Relatives and Church in Controversy
Over Property Worth $4,000.

Champaign, IIl-The village OF
Homer in the southern part of this
county, is excited over the eXtraOrdin.
airy gift made by Josiah GOrham. an
aged resident of that place to his
niece and hOusekeePer, Mrs. Louise
Pyatt, the gift being his entire prop
eTty, consisting Of 800 acres of land,
valued at $175 an acre. Mrs. Pyatt
will have a hard time retaining the
gift, however, as GOTham's son Henry,
who lives in Champaign, has filed a
suit in the circuit court, charging Mrs
Pyatt with obtaining the property by
undue influence 1t is only two months
ago that the woman invited her aged
uncle to come from Champaign, where
he had been living with his son, to
Homer, where she could care for him.
He readily consented, as did the son,
who, however, demanded a contract
from her in regard to compensation.
This was agreed to, but for some rea-
son was never written out. Rev. o.
K. Doney, Christian minister, walked
into the Citizens bank at Homer and
told the cashier. Perle Virgins, who
attended to the business affairs Of
Josiah GOrham, that Mr.. GOrham had
made over his farm to Mrs. Pyatt,
who would devote a part of it to for.
eign missionary work in the Christian
church. Virgins communicated with
the son, Henry G0rham, and the latter
at once instituted suit He will allege
that the old man is incapable of at,
tending to his own affairs, and that
he did not know what he was doing.
