"The best good luck Of every year
Is scattering sunshine and good cheer;
The world was built one-half for play
And both the halves we live each day"
THE oldest caller at the Gypsy tent
Was granny all alone and bent,
And poorly clad in shawl and hood
And on her back load of wood
Which she had gathered by the way
As through the woods she came that day.
The Prince gave her the softest seat
And placed a cushion for her feet
And took the ugly, tiresome pack
OF crooked sticks from off her back.
Then ordered Jappy quick to make
Some Gypsy tea and to bring some cake.
Mufles at once was all alert
And rubbed his head on granny's skirt
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-03-06

And meowed and purred as if to say
There is something doing now to-day;
For just before he was curled up snug
In his usual place upon rug.
WHEN granny finished her cake and tea
Prince Domino inquired if he
Could be of service or comfort bring
Or send the wood or anything.
Granny looked up and her silence broke
And these are the very words she spoke:
I'm very old, fourscore to-day,
And in cabin down the way
All by myself l lonely sit
From morn till night and stockings knit
To earn the pennies that | need
To buy some bread and my chickens feed
My only child is long since dead
But he left fortune, it is said,
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-03-06

BY asking questions, three or four,
The Captain found the little store.
Twas filled with pictures, books, and toys,
And at the counter girls and boys
Were buying things, jolly crowd,
And everybody laughing loud
Behind the counter the merchant lad
Was showing the different things he had,
While his little sister, ten years old,
Was tying up goods already sold.
The Captains suit of army blue
And his manly walk and the interview
Made the older children give him rank
AS a messenger from city bank.
But when he spoke and suffered some
The children knew at once he'd come
From the Gypsy camp mile away
Which they had heard about that day
The note was opened and its contents read
BY the merchant lad who to Dinkey said:
please tell Prince Domino for me
That any day from nine till three
He'll find me here; or I'll stay till four
To give him welcome to my store"
The Captain said as he turned to go,
Dem words you S-speak I think know,
But I'll r-repeat each word of talk
And get all s-safe in my woolly head,
Den tell de Prince jus w-what YOU said"
But when he reached the camp that day
He gave the message in this way:
dat merchant kid way d-down de pike,
He say 20 c-come jus when you like"
WHILE Captain Dinkey was on his tramp
The Prince was busy at the camp.
The country folks had heard the news
And callers came in ones and twos,
Some men and women, young and old,
And boys and girls to have fortunes told.
But the Prince in his most kindly way
Said. How do you do?" and sIts a pleas.
day."
And showed the callers his famous cat
And let them walk about and chat
And see the tent and his dapple gray,
Ard then to each he had this to-sayi
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-03-06

The lad had gone an hour before
With rod and gun down to the shore
OF a little lake to try his luck
At catching fish or shooting duck.
No one was in the neighborhood
And he thought dip would do him good.
But when poor Dutchy was getting dressed
His coat disturbed the hornets nest.
Continued next Sunday

In English cash which he saved for me
AS Captain of ship at sea,
All in gold coin which he buried deep
Safe in these woods where it would keep
But | have walked all round and round
And searched and searched each foot of ground
Looked under rocks and dug deep holes
And searched in hoows and on knobs
And measered points from tree to tree
And worked on maps he made to see
Ii could figure out or trace
Just how he meant to find the place
And now, good sir, I've come to ask
If this cat OF yours can do the task
BEFORE the Prince had time to speak
He heard near by a piercing shrek.
He excused himself and quickly went
Down steep hill back from the tent
And there found Dutchy partly dressed
All tangled up in a hornets nest.

TX. GRANNY'S VISIT.

TO the little village a mile away
Dinkey was sent with note next day.
This note was to a boy addressed
And sealed in wax with Mufaes' crest.
The writing said that Domino
Would call within day or so
And bring with him his famous cat
And look about and have chat
And see the store and perhaps he might
Ask his permission to stay all night
And find the thief and locate the cash
And keep the business from going to smash

News Of the National Capitol Briefly Noted in
Passing for the Reader.

March 4th will remain the day for
the Inauguration Of the President, az
heretofore. Efforts to change tho
date of. such inaugurations from
March 4th to the last Thursday in
April have failed. Now an effort is
being made to fix the second Tuesday
in January as the date, but it is said
that the April plan having failed, the
January plan will fail also. Thou
sands of people who have attended
these inaugurgations from time to-
time want the date changed, when
they will not SILVER and shake on
Washington s-now-coyered streets.
They are not interested so much in
the constitutional" questions In
volved as they are in having Congress
tell them frankly why it is necessary
to veil the matter in mystery and
uncertainty. There is absolutely no
doubt that the requisite number Of
States will ratify an amendment to
the Constitution to change the date
Of the inauguration if Congress Will
pass the bill.

THE WORST IS over.
Great Danger from Waters
in Paris is Passed.
EXPLANATION OF THE FLOODS
Little Fear tf Predicted Disaster to
The Great city-conditions Are
Improving Everywhere.

Paris, By Cable.-Slowly, very
slowly, the swollen waters of the
Seine, which reached the high mark
at 2 O'Clock last Saturday morning,
are subsiding and at midnight the fall
measured about four and a halt III
ches.
The danger c. some great calamity,
such as has been predicted now seems
over, although the situation contln-
ues to be critical at many points
within the city.
The effect of the removal OF the
water pressure has been to weaken
foundations generally and this causes
the greatest anxiety.
It is generally believed that the
breaking of the dam at Gonnevllllers
appreciably FASTENED the climax by
releasing an immense amount OF wa
ter, but the consequences below are
appalling. Gonnevilliers and Colon
bes, having 10000 inhabitants, are
completely submerged, the water
reached the tops of the houses in the
lower sections while the flood is
backing up into the very center OF
Asnieres.
Certainly 10000 have been driven
from their homes by the flood IN the
valley of the Seine to the hospitals
and other buildings which have been
placed at the disposition of the re-
fugees.
The local government authorities
are displaying great devotion and
zeal in the work of salvage and
rescue. Nevertheless the conditions,
especially in the country districts,
are pitiful. The houses Of farmers
are submerged to their roofs, and
in manv cases the inhabitants have
lost everything including their live
stock.
A number of deplorable incidents
have been reported. Several shop
keepers, who attempted to charge
q~uadruple prices have been mobbed,
while a grocery who was driven to
the upper story of his house by an
angry crowd fred a revolver, wound
ing a woman. Rowdies have at
tempted to pillage many Of the
houses and at several of the towns
they have been driven off by the
military.
The explanations of the floods
given by French scientists are of
especial interest. Etienne Statislas
Mouniere, the eminent %geologist,
considers the phenomenon to be more
of a geological than a meteorological
nature. After explaining the action
and reaction of the water in the
strata below the surface. he declares

MEAT BOYCOTT is felt.
Wholesale Meat Sale OFF 20 Per Cent
At Atlanta-Farmers Holding

Wholesale Meat Sale OFF 20 Per Cent
At Atlanta-Farmers Holding
Meetings.
Atlanta, Ga, Special.-"The sale
of trust handled meat by the whole
sale has fallen off fully 20 per cent
since the Atlanta boycott was put
into effect the first of the past week."
said T. R. Sawtell, the well-known
Atlanta wholesale and retail meat
dealer Saturday night while discuss
ing the present meat situation.
Beginning Tuesday Of this week,
40 labor organizations Of Richmond,
Va, began a 60-day fight against the
trust by agreeing to eat no meat,
going it on vegetarian diet.
Other towns and sites in the South
as well as the north and middle west
are joining the ranks of "We Do
Not Eat Meat"
Reports from New York say the
entire city is ~placarded with eat no
meat signs, and butchers are join
ing the crusade:
Meat prices were down IN local
retail markets.
Boycott Hits Dealers, Say the Master
Butchers.
New York, Special.-The United
Master Butchers of America, in a
statement given out here, decry the
meat boycott as "misdirected energy
which is defeating its own end" The
statement urges. the removal of tariff
on all live stock. 1t says in part:
sit is not the packer who recciv-
ed the most severe blow from the
boycott, but the retail butcher, the
man who must earn his living and
support his family through the sale
Of meat. Why not go to the root
of the evil; why not seek the cause
of the disease?
"High meat prices are due mostly
to the great scarcity of live cattle.
The national government. eXacts a
tariff on live stock, shutting out out
side sources Of supply. Therefore
we demand. in the name of the great
American consuming public, that the
federal government take immediate
steps to- have the duty on all liv'
stock removed"
Farmers Withhold Produce Fror
Sale.
Nevada, Mo-, Special.-Three hun
dred farmers at a meeting here adopt
ed a resolution agreeing not to sell
any cattle, hogs, poultry, eggs Or
butter for 60 days, beginning Febru-
airy 1. Their action is a protest
against the statements of the large
packing house interests that the
farmer and stoclman is responsible
for the high price of foodstuffs.
A letter will be sent to all the
farmers associations in the United
State requesting them to withhold
their products from the market.

said Chairman Crumpaeker, Sin re-
porting the bill, it is important to
know relatively the number Of AMI
mails slaughtered and the hides pro-
duced in the large packing establish
ments and the number of animals
slaughtered and hides produced On
the farm and in the small butcher
ing establishments. 1t is also i'm
portant to know whether there is a
shortage of food animals or whether
the price of the products may be af-
fected by the percentage that is
slaughtered and controlled by the
large establishments. This census
can be taken by special agents az
