dross:" he sighed, as he sat down. II

we cannot escape it. 1 have been fig
uring this afternoon. and find that 1t
will take about seven thousand to put
us on the road in good shape. OF
course, it will all come back to you
sooner or later. There are ten or
twelve parties who are anxious to fur
niSh the money, but as none of them
can play Hamlet 1 have turned them
down."
UNI" grunted Mr.. Bowser, who
had an idea that twenty-five or
thirty dollars at most would be want
ed.
"As for the part of Hamlet of
course, you couldn't expect to go right
on and play it at the start. You must
gradually work up to it. For the first
two weeks you will bring the spade to
Hamlet to dig the grave with"
Il wish we could make you a foot

Mr.. Bowser turned red and white.
I'VE must also get you a wig to hide
your badness. Do you think you
could reduce your weight by sixty or
seventy pounds" Hamlet has no bay
window on him, you know"
by thunder, man, but what are
you talking about!'' shouted Mr.. Bow
ser. as he rose up.
Calm myself. Horatio,'' replied
Mr. Blank. in soothing tones. Ham
let must be Hamlet Hamlet can
not be Bowser.'

the tones of thy voice hath a clarion

Mrs. Bowser was in the sitting
room. AS Mr.. Bowser came out he
was all a-bristle and ready for battle,
but she simply looked UP and smiled
and said:

Mr.. Bowser didn't answer, but he
thought it was-for him.-(Copy-

DECORATION AT BUCKLIN.
Services We're MARRIED by Rain
Which Was Badly Needed.

Bucklin. Kan, June decoration
Day is past and the outside decoration
here consisted mostly of mud, overcoats
and umbrellas, there were a few flags
and little bunting displayed, but the
persistent rain soon spoiled them. 1t
rained steadily until about o'clock
in the afternoon where there was a
break in the clouds, and the trip was
made to the cemetery. under the disad-
vantage of muddy roads and overload
ed wagons, which compelled some of the
people to get outsand walk part of the
way. The decor alton of the graves of
the departed comrades, was carried out
in accordance with the ritual of the
G.. A. r., after which the procession re-
turned to town. Harry Bone was to
have been here and deliver an address
in the afternoon, but he did not get
here. Prof. Seig. of Greensburg.
came over and addressed the people
in the evening and there was a short
programme given. The exercises were
held in the tabernacle and it was well
filed.
AS a Decoration Day it was some
what of a disappointment, but the rain
was needed, it being glorious thing
for the country.

well, here's the case" he said as
he descended from his high horse.
About a week ago Mr.. Horatio Blank,
the celebrated actor and manager hap
pened in the office just 1 was re-
peating Hamlet's soliloquy for the ben
eft of Green. and when was through
he was pleased to shake hands with
me and ask if he could offer any in
ducement for me to go on the road with
Shakespeares plays. I said nothing
to you about the matter, knowing that
you would treat it with your usual sar-
casm, but have had two or three talks
with Mr.. Blank since. He is satisfied
that l Will make the greatest Hamlet
ever seen on the stage. ( shall also
play Romeo.
You speak as if it was a settled
thing" said Mrs. Bowser.
1T is about as good as settled. He is
coming here this evening for a final
talk He thinks he can pay me sal
airy of $400 per week. but is going to
let me know. We intend to introduce
new feature in theatricals-play the
whole year through. He believes, and
1 quite agree with him, that people long
for Shakespearian plays in summer
more than in the winter Thus it will
be $500 per week for 90 weeks in the
year. Is there anything bad about that
for an income2'
money in the enterprise?"
Yes. few dollars. I think he
wants me to advance enough money to
pay for the printing. He will pay me
back double the amount when we get
out on the road. He has had 81 COM
panies and all have made money. He
is said to be worth million dollars"

REFEREES RULING CORRECT.
Sullivan Upholds OcI<erblad's Action in
Kansas-Nebraslxa Meet.

Lawrence Kan, June Accord
ing to a ruling received from James
f. Sullivan, president of the A. A. T.,
Referee Ockerblad was correct in dis
qualifying Alden of Nebraska for rum
ming inside the pole in the two-rnile rae
in the Kansas-Nebraska track meet
last Saturday. Alden finished second
in that event and had he been allowed
a place, Nebraska would have won the
meet President Sullivan in his letter
to Referee Ockerblad said:
you could not do anything else
It's immaterial whether he did gain
an advantage or not. the mere fact
that he stepped inside and ran inside
proves conclusively that he was look
ing for an advantage that apparently
did not come to him.
Neither Nebraska nor Kansas recog-
nizes the Chicago conference at pres
ent and the A. A. U. ruling closes the
question as far as Kansas is concerned

DEFENDS THE SOUTH.
Young Robert E. Lee Says She Did
Not Originate Secession Idea.

Richmond. Va, June In {
speech at last nights session of the
Confederate reunion. which aroused
the convention and which formed the
most important feature of the reunion
thus far, Colonel Robert E. Lee. jr.
said:
For the purposes of this occasion
We care not how the African slave
nrst placed his unhallowed feet on
southern soil. Although the south had
at one time no inconsiderable career
OF maritime adventure no ship or
shipmaster of hers has ever in a single
case been implicated in the illicit
African slave trade Her greatest
men always maintained slavery to be
the most dangerous element in the
country.
Virginia in October, 1878, and
Georgia, in 1898. passed acts prohibit
ing the importatio of slaves. Thus.
to the everlasting credit of the south
upon whose devoted heads holy wrath
has been so unjustly poured out she
leads the world in an earnest attempt
to prevent the very thing of which she
is accused.
Secession was not preached for the
first time in the south. 1t was threat
ened in the north four times before
South Carolina seeded. First from
Colonel Timothy Pickering of Massa-
chusetts. opposing the acquisition of
Louisiana; second. from Josiah Quincy
of MasSa chuSettS, over the proposed
admission Of Louisiana as a state;
third, from the Hartford convention,
in which five states were represented,
over the dissatisfaction occasioned by
the war with Great Britain. and fourth
from the legislature of Massachusetts
because it was proposed to annex
Texas to the federal union.
when the red curtain OF war
rolled up on the American stage. it re-
vealed the country in arms ready and
willing to defend all that makes life
worth living. the future of the coun-
tr-, the honor of the people, the
sanctity of the home"

OUR BEST CROP.
The President Says 1t Is the Citizens
Reared on the Farms.

Lansing, Mich. June 1.-THE best
crop is the crop of children, the best
products of the farm are the men and
women raised thereon said President
Roosevelt in his address at the semi
centennial of the founding of agricul-
tural colleges in the United States, in
the course of which he discussed race
suicide, manual training and the dig
nifty of labor, and advocated recogni-
ton as professional men of those who
work intelligently with their hands or
till the soil.
After a strenuous six hours in the
state capital, during which he made
three addresses and held reception
at the state capitol, President Roose-
welt left at APO o'clock for Washing
ton on the Lake Shore road.
At the agricultural college President
Roosevelt spoke to about $4,000 people
from a stand erected on little Knoll
at the head of the campus. Seated on
benches Immediately before the stand
were students of the college, hundreds
of alumni who have been attending
the semi-centennia1 celebration OF the
founding of the college. Standing on
the turf behind were thousands of
people from this and other Michigan
cities

and then leave him in the lurch.
1t was an explanation, but 1t didn't
satisfy the explainer. He saw smile
on Mrs. Bowser's face and began to
flush up as he said:
That's always the way with you
doing your best to find some fault.
wish 1 hadn't said a word until the
company was ready to start out on the
road"
Il am not finding fault, Mr.. Bowser,
am simply asking for information.
There's a ring at the bell. 1t is pro-
badly your man Blank. Go ahead and
make your arrangements with him. I
shall expect box all to myself on the
first night you play Hamlet
Mr.. Bowser ushered his theatrical
manager into the library and carefully
closed the door and they took seats
at the table. The said manager didn't
look to be worth a million dollars. In
fact, he didn't look to be worth much
over 10 cents. His silk hat had wit
messed many ups and downs in the
world, and his tightly buttoned frock
coat was worn and shiny and showed
that ii mad often stood before the free
lunch counter and taken in the bean
soup. His cuffs were frayed and his
necktie faded and the hand that had
darned one knee of his trowsers must
have held a darning needle. He had
his assurance with him, however, and
that was the main thing.

the Bowery once and Mr.. Bowser acted
just like an actor 1 saw there. Did you
ever hear of an actor called Mr.. Hamlet,
ma'am?''
Hamlet is a character in one of
Shakespeare's plays" replied Mrs. Bow
ser
Then that's what he's trying to be.
and if you can't stop him 1 must quit
my job. I'm the sole support of an in
valid mother as you know, and don t
want to be suddenly blown high-sky and
leave her to go to the poor house"
Mrs. Bowser felt that she now had the
key of the mystery in her hands. That
evening she was watching for Mr.. Bow
ser's return from the office. She saw him
drop off the street car at his usual hour,
and noticed that he stepped off with a
one, two three stride. AS he entered the
house he bowed tremendously to her
and superior. When they had returned
to the sitting room he began pacing up
and down, and presently she said:
Mr.. Bowser I want to talk with you
for a few minutes. You have been act
ing rather strangely of late. Have you
got some great trouble on your mind
that you are keeping from me?"
My mind was never more clear of
trouble he answered with a bow and
a smile.
But you have got some plan on
hand
IF have. oh. woman. thou must re-
strain thy curiosity till such times as I
see fit to unfold"
Are you thinking of acting on tho
stage?"
'Methinks thou hast hit it close
Then tell me about it. AS a wife 1
am interested in your welfare"

BowsER THE angel.
Also, Bowser rs Hamlet and just
Plain BoWser.

Mrs. Bowser was puzzled and perturb-
ed. Mr.. Bowser was going about strik-
ing strange attitudes and muttering &c
himself, and he had cried out in his mid
night sleep:
Lay on McDuff. and damned be he
who first cries hold. enough
Something was up, but just what it
was Mr.. Bowser was keeping to himself.
She made cautious inquiries as to
whether he was looking for a farm, in
vesting in a flying machine or expert
menting with a new hair dye, but he
only smiled in a knowing way in answer.
When the cook was asked in a casual
way If. she had noticed anything queer
about him of late she promptly answer
ed:
Yes, ma'am, have, and / was think
ing of giving notice before he broke out
and set the house on fire or killed us

house with bomb and jumped into the

What have you noticed about him ?''
''Well, ma am, he got out into the back
yard the other evening and threw his
arms around and muttered. He jumped
ahead, and then sideways and back

ing to himself 1 went to a theater on

AN ADVANCE FOR ALL.
Telegraphers Get Concessions From
Western Union.

New York, June 1.-The threatened
strike of 10000 telegraphers against
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany will not take place. The officials
of the company and Samuel J. Small.
national president of the Commercial
Telegraphers of America. have been in
conference over the situation affecting
the operators for several days, and
Mr.. Small announced that there would
be no strike.
In settling their dispute with the
corporation the telegra pliers will win
a great victory. An agreement is to
be effected on the basis of an eight
hour work day for the operators and
the 10 per cent increase is to extend to
all of the knights of the key.
1--WE will get the eight-hour day."
said Mr.. Small, but final settlement
will not be reached until next week.
The Western Union has been very fair
with us in the conference and all the
questions in dispute will be an1icabiy
adjusted. At no time was there any
danger of a strike" ~
