The Turkey Dance

All the turkeys gathered
On the lawn one DAY..
Dressed in nice brown feathers
Looking bright and gay:
There they met and courtesied.
Partners chose at will.
Then with stately stepping
Danced a real quadrille.
Every turkey gobbler
Bowed TO turkey hen.
Tiptoed down the middle.
Circled round. and then
Crossed and swung his partner
Back to place and pranced.
Gobble. gobble. gobble.
So the turkeys danced.

Madrid, Oct. 25-Lieutenant General
De Luque, minister of war in the new
liberal cabinet, in an interview today
confirmed the report that the govern
ment had decided not to push further
the Moroccan campaign.
He said that if the liberals had been
in power before they would have avoid
ed the bloody and costly war, and that
henceforth the object of the govern
ment would be to guarantee the safety
of Mellila by system of fortified po-
sltions which We're already occupied.
Fromn now on, the minister of war
said, the work of the army would be
that of pacification and not of domina-
ton, and while it would defend these
occupied positions, and an effort will be
made to induce the Riffs Ito disarm
and in this movement the aid of the
sultan's emissaries was to be enlisted
Deluque added that tho the liberals dis
approved of the recent acts of repres-
sion at Barcelona, Ferrer had been
proven guilty on evidence and had been
legally and judicially condemned.

suprene Court Adiourn,.


Washington, Oct 25.-Out of respect
Rufus w. Peckham, the supreme court
of the United States today adjourned
until next Monday.
Announcement of Justice Peckham's
death was made by Chief Justice Full
Ter Immediately after convening Of
court at noon today. Immediately upon
the announcement court adjourned un-
til next Monday. Simple as were the
chief Justices words they created a
profound impression. The fact that
they were spoken slowly and uttered in
an undertone which rendered them all
most inaudible added to the solemnity of
the occasion, and this effect was great
ly heightened by the solemn visages
and somber official garb of the jus
tices. AS usual the members of the
court entered the room as a body and
in single file, and Nheir black gowns
almost trailing behind them lent to the
occasion as much of the funeral as if
there had been special preparation for
the occasion. Without permitting any
,semblance of business, the chief JUS
tice made this announcement, and at
1902, headed the other way, the small
procession marched out of the room,
not to return again for seven days.
All attendants and spectators remained
standing until the members of the court
had disappeared from sight.

OBJECT TO PUBLICITY.
"Insursent Territory" to Launch Pro
test Against New Tax Law.

st. Paul, Oct. 95.--Congress Will
again hear from the insurgent country
when 1T convenes in December, this
time in the form of an emphatic pro-
test against certain of the provisions
cf the new / per cent corporation tax
law, notably that requiring minute re-
turns of the years business to be filed
in reports which after passing into the
possession of the internal revenue COL
lector becomes public documents and
open to the inspection OF any Interested
citizen.
Representatives of the largest ousi-
ness interests in st. Paul have already
met to consider the wording OF the new
law and have arranged to present their
objections to congress thru members of
the Minnesota delegation and TO make
n pointed request for the moderation
OF what are believed to be wholly un-
necessary clauses. Steps are also he
ing taken to bring the effect OF the new
law to the attention of business cor
porations and business associations
generally thruout the west, that they
may join with st. Paul in presenting
these new problems to congress-
ST Paul business corporations do not
object to the amount of the new tax
or the manner In which 1t is levied.
but they have obtained ruling from
Washington which makes II plain that
their returns. upon the basis of which
the new tax will be levied. will after
they are made by the president or 9TH
err principal officers of each business
corporation. become public documents
open to the public. This feature OF the
operation of the law has aroused a
vigorous protest and results in every
American city in many odd and un-
equal situations OF which those In st.
Paul are typical.

his campaign at the tabernacle with a
great day, In the afternoon he spoke

children wishing to be christians to rise
to their feet and nearly a thousand
stood up. The members of the secre-
tarial committee passed the cards, ask
ing the boys and girls to sign them,
expressing their determination to lead
a christian life from henceforth, and
indicating their church preferences
The number of cards signed was 694.
Saturday night had been set apart
for the Bohemian people. and hundreds
of them were at the tabernacle. The
congregation as a whole, filled the
building more than three quarters full
and Mr.. Sunday, as he looked at the
section where the Bohemian -Ameri-
cans We're seated and then over the
audience truly said:
II can't for the life OF me tell where
the line of division Is. There seems
to be no discernible difference between
the Bohemian Americans and the
Americans"
One of the great features OF the
meeting Saturday night was Mr.. Sun

and his sympathy for all that makes
