Why shall we take her dregs?

Spawn of the peasant-uncouth and unpleasant
Son of the pauper and child of the thief;
Bred through the ages of jewellers in cages,
Starved of all but starvation and grief
Why do they grope to us?
Do they bear hope to US?
What would they write US on hstory's leaf?
Here be haven, but net for the craven.
Welcome each builder by brain or by hand
Thus were the sires who lighted our fires
God found them worthy and gave them the land
Far will we fare with them,
All will we share with them,
But for our cause must they steadfastly stand
Brothers, remember to nurture the ember
Let not the glory of Lexington fade.

The handsome and attractive picture

| Everybody's June fiction is rather out
of the ordinary. In the first place, Flea
nor Abbott maintains the standard set
by her famous prize stories. In ''Along
the Ripply River" she tells of love and
adventure and heroism with all her usu.
al charm and little more than her usual
vigor. and out Of it all evolves an alb.
sorbingly interesting tale. Robert Dunr
recounts the INSTRUMENTATION of one Of
Uncle Sans sailors who blondined his
hair for the good of the service It was
wrong of the sailor, but here's three
cheers and pardon for ''The Peroxide
Plugman." Anna Yeaman Condict tells
the dear, absurd and wholly delightful
troubles of Johnnie Stillman at a child
ren's party. "When Hearts Are
Trumps," she calls it. For the genuine
article in extravagant humor Porter EN-
erson Brownies ''The Spectacular Sui
eide of Slothful Slack" runs close sec
ond to Samuel G. Blythe's ''The Search

Successful In Severe Engage.

Madrid, Sept 23.-The Spanish
forces in Morocco, according to the
latest dispatches received here, we're
eminently successful Sept. 20 and 81
in turning Mount GuFaga and sur
rounding the ferocious Beni-Sicar
tribesmen. The government is pub
fishing broadcast accounts of many
thrilling and gallant episodes of the
fighting and the war fever is at a
high pitch. All the reports agree that
the Moors showed fanatical courage,
Of Spanish valor.
Near Taxdir four battalions Of Span
ish troops were deployed over a front
six miles long. They were charged
suddenly by 200 Arab horsemen. Gen
eral Tovar, perceiving that the enemy
threatened to break the line, sent out
a strong detachment of chausseurs
and cavalrymen to check them. The
two parties met with terrific shock.
At first the Moors broke, but they re.
turned to the attack several times be.
fore they were finally routed, leaving
many dead on the field. The Spanish
infantry then tented a retreat and
the Moors, reinforced, swept down
upon them. The Spanish line then
about faced and fired repeated volleys
point blank into the enemy, putting
them to flight. The dispatches re.
port that the Moors left 100 dead on
the field.
A total of $500 Moors, including
1900 cavalrymen, took part in the
fighting of Sept. 20. The Moors lost
400 men.
The Spanish troops under General
Orozco have occupied Aograz.
