The flrst day Ut April will be All
Fools Day, and it will 10 celebrated
much more elaborately this year than
It has been in long time. There are
more fools than there used to be. They
may be divided into three classes, viz. !:
Common. or those who think the
cost Of living will ever 60 down again.
Preferred, or those who thought
prosperity would return right after
the presidential election.
Dam. or Those who thought Mr..
Rockefeller would have to pay that
o29, zoo, 600 tine.
The rain will patter on the roof,
and the colt will buck and dance; the
tickled calf will shake his hoof and
jubilantly prance: the robin will arise
At morn and chase the festive worm:
theSchool-hoy will wish the chicken
pox would spread and end the term;
the old fieas will breed other fieas up
on the itching pup, and the dirt will
ny with radishes and lettuce coming
up.
A fresh and sweeter oxygen will
glorify the days: the sun will tempt
the flowers with it's soft and vernal
rays; the farmer will put in his corn;
the ducks will lay again; the meadow
lark will wake the morn with rayish-
INK refrain; the native will moult Oil
his wool and don his summer jeans,
and man will pasteurize hts blood
with saSsafras and green's.
Cheer up. Cheer up. It's summertime,
Or will be pretty soon.
And ycnder are the roses that
Shall burgeon into june.
The proud peacock will strut around
And sprout another tail.
The quail will tune his tuba up
And whistle from rail-,
And we Shall scour our livers OH
With curly-dock and kale.

which attended the sessions of congress
when Mr.. Roosevelt was president.

The beasts OF Uganda we're beating
retreat, aud the slower we're trying to
stay With the Meet: lion came flying
aside from the rear, With his face mu-
tilated and one shredded ear.
I'VE thought, !" said the beasts,
As they saw him arrive,
You stayed back to face him
And eat him alive"
But the msn-eater only
Ran faster and whined,
Aud now and then ventured
A survey behind.
We'll, said the hippo, who ran IS
he could, did you eat him alive, as
you boasted you would" But the lion
limped onward, with never . word-at
least anything that the rest OF them
heard.
IN bet, said the rhino,
HE bit Oh his head,
And left them to tind him
All bloody and dead.
Whereat they all laughed:
And the great lion cried,
And licked It the gashes
All over his hide.
II see how it happened the ele-
plant said: our brother was up In .
tree overhead, and when he pounced
on him-s stranger TO fsar-the cruel
thorns tore him and shredded his ear"'
They all laughed again:
And the lion, Ill red
With blood, only shuddered
And limped on ahead.
70, come, they exclaimed,
As they follow with haste;
I'VE know that you ste him,
But how did he taste:"
The lion turned round at the top Of
. rise, and his whiskers were matted
with tears from his eyes. Don't taunt
me, he begged. land I'll tell you my
woes" And blood trickled Oh At the
end Of his nose
"We'll do it, they answered:
And, husky with grief
And fear, he proceeded:

OF CRIMINAL INTENT
Court Has Under Amusement Motion
to Instruct to Acquit-Govern-
ment Making Strong Fight
for Conviction
IBY Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, April 27.-"Tnstruct
to acquit" was the motion of the de-
Tense which was argued and taken
under advisement by the court today
in the trial of John A. Benson of San
Francisco, charged with bribing two
government clerks in connection with
land deals on the Pacific coast.
Counsel for the defense urged before
Justice Gould that the criminal intent,
If any, existed in the mind of Secret
Service Agent w. ]. Burns. A de-
cision is expected tomorrow.
Counsel charged that Burns concocted
a scheme to get Benson to offer Divi-
sion Chief Woodford D. Harlan of the
general land office money to secure in
formation in a secret government re-
port. They contended also that the
money said to have been paid to Har-
Ian was paid, if at all, for past SER
vices.
District Attorney Baker, however, de-
clared that Harlan, before the detec-
tives learned of his transactions with
Benson, voluntarily informed Benson
that the investigation was in progress
and that Harlan told Benson he would
keep him advised respecting the mat
ter. The money referred to, Mr.. Baker
declared, was in furtherance of a con-
tinuing agreement between Harlan and
Benson, the criminal intent not origin
ating with Burns.
