The sun is on the cllum tree
And warns the live oaks bOughs,
And where the w2ysidc thickets are
One hears the glad carousc
OF Wild birds planning sheir Wee hOmeN
And hears the field larks sing,
And all the world IS waking up
To sing a song of spring.
Soon, soon, the burning trash pile no~
VIII send its sitting rock
Into tIch nook and Granny. and
The prim housewife will seek
Each spcck of dirt and stir it up
And chase ii round about,
Roll up the mating ard me rugs
And hang the carpets out.
Soon. soon. the poor bedeviled man
viii long for desert isles
Or-Tather than house cleaning time
For grim war rent dchIcs;"
Soon will the ichor Of the spring
Stir him till he shall wish
To go far from the maddinS mop
To some loved spot and fish.
Soon will the wife who charmed us SO
In days aGoue arise
From bed by early candle light,
Grim purpose in her eyes;
Bid US goodby abstractcdly
And at the short days close
Meet us with dust rag round her head
And smut spot on 4ler nose.

of it deliberately threw what looked
like paper parcel toward the presi-

harmlessly. The missile proved to be q

FITS ORCHARDS STATEMENT.
BradIey's Experience Comedies With
 Testimony of BOise Witness.

Bradley's Experience COinci0es WiIn
 Testimony of Boise Witness.
 San Francisco. June Fired w.. Bradley former manager of the Bunk CT Hill and Sullivan mines in the Couer d 'Alenes, said last night that Orchards statement quite fits in with his experience.
 ''The attempt to poison me with strychnine in the milk" he said, was mainly frustrated by my habit of ear ly rising. my custom being to break fast before any one else in the house. On this morning I found bitter taste in the milk. spat 1t out and had the rest put out of the way. Several inno- cent lives were thus saved. This milk had only been delivered a few min utes before I tasted it."
 Bradley. continuing. related that he was so terribly injured by the ex- plcsion spoken of by Orchard. that he was unable to clearly follow the ac- Bunts of the outrage. He referred to the allegation that the explosion which wrecked his home and himself was caused by an escape of gas in the front hall which was ignited by match struck to light his cigar.
 The owner of the flat sued the gas company and was awarded $10.000 dam ages, the explosion being attributed to q defective meter.

THE CHURCH AND THE NEGRO.
Interesting sermon At Central Presby
 terian Church Sunday.

Rev. Neal L. Anderson, D. D., pastor pf the Central Presbyterian Church. will preach a special sermon Sunday morning on 'The Church and the Race Problem" No issue before the south ern people Is of greater interest or of more importance than the theme of this message. Every farmer, every merchant, every professional man. every salaried man. every industry Is vitally affected by the problems grow ing out of this issue.
 Says The Atlanta Constitution in a recent editorial: The problem is here also, large ant definite. there is no denying that fact. The solution is here also. It is equally distinct. Its feasi- bility has been established. It is in the hands of the Southern church. It's preachers, it's teachers. its active work CTS in all ranks regardless of creed or denomination"
 For many years Dr. Anderson has been a member of the Executive Com mittee of the Southern Presbyterian Church having charge of the evangeli- zation of the negroes, and for a num- Der of years has been chairman of the Executive Committee of the State Nor nal School for Negroes in Montgomery, succeeding in that position the late Captain J. M. Falkner.

 Harry Orchard has done many wrongs, but hope that he has repent ed, now that he understands their mag nitude and that he will be given a chance to lead a good, true and honest life after the present ordeal has passed"

 "The thought that his life was at stake did not influence him in the least in what he thought was right. After completing is term as Governor, he never believed his life was in danger, and I had practically forgotten the ordeal through which he had passed and believe he had. His assassina- ton was terrible shock"
