Jim's Sweetheart.

Mother put on her Sunday best.
Her lilac wedding gown,
And white straw bonnet neatly tied
With strings of brown;
We woke before the rsostefs crowed,
And started in the dew
Ts see the boat race, for eur Jim
Was captain Of the crew.
He tesk it in his curly head
To want college course;
l parted with the pasture lot
And sold the sorrel horse.
We sent him every penny saved,
And made sesdy pair
In garments that had long outlived
Their days of useful wear.
The surging throng closed up in front,
We could not see our son.
But soon mighty cheer went up
And told US Jim had won.
The crowd took up the college yell
And sent it to the skies,
And college colers everywhere
Shook out their brilliant dyes.
He stepped ashore, loo ked up and saw
His mothers wrinkelsd face,
And hurried to her through the ranks
OF broadclsth, silk and lace.
He never gave single glance
Toward tho pretty girls.
But kissed her on the withered lips,
And on her silver curls.
His sunburnt face was glorified
With proud and happy smiles.
He did not mind because her hat
Was years behind the styles,
But led her out before his friends
A figure quaint and prim,
In stiff, oldfashioned lilac silk
my sweetheart, boys,' said Jim

others fixed certain valuations for va
rious timber and other lands that rep
resented considerable increase over
/ the former tax assessments and that
the county board OF equalization has

county assessor. They now appeal FOL
the 4tate tax commission TO review
their assessments and TO rule as Il
whether their assessments or the de
ductions made by the board Of equal

GERMANY SHOWS
RECEPTIVE MOOD.
Reply is Favorable 10 General
Arbitration Treaty.

Washington, Aug. 15.--The reply
OF Germany to the proposition for a
general arbitration treaty with the.
United States was presented to the
state department yesterday by Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambass-
ador. II is understood to be dis
tinctly favorable to the principles
laid down by Secretary of State
Knox and 10 pressage tbe negotia-
ton of a treaty with Germany sim
liar 10 the pending conventions with
Great Britain and France. provided
the United States senate does not
drastically amend these agreements.
The senate's threat to modify the
pending treaties with Great Britain
and France found an echo in the
house yesterday. when Representa-
tive Bartholdt, of Missouri, made a
plea for international peace. de-
nouncing the upper body's OPPOSE
ton 10 the conventions. lie said the
big stick philosopher of Oyster
Bay wanted to leave the doors open
for war.
President Taft has about decided
not to press the senate TO ratify the
arbitration treaties at the special
session OF congress. After his re-
turn from Beverly yesterday. the
president was informed that many
senators had taken umbrage at his
speech at Mountain Lake Park last
week asking for the moral support
OF the people to force the senate Ia
act on the treaties.
Rather than antagonize more sen
ators and render the chance OF rati-
fication less certain. the president Il
understood 10 have reached the con-
clusion not to make fight for them
at present.

that he thought were not proper,
and 46 such bills are in the archives
of this country, signed by him while
he was president. Many OF them
we're relief bills affecting military
men. and with that branch of the
government service the then occu-
pant OF the white house had decided
views. A bill for the repair oil
PENNSYLVANIA avenue he vetoed on
the ground that it fixed no date for
fulfillment, and one initiating the
currency he said was unsound.
President Hayes found occasion
to veto eight bills. including one
fixing standard silver dollar and
three general appropriation bills
The money measures he turned down
on the ground that they contained
general legislation. President Gar
field took no exception to any meas
ures that were passed up to him fol
his signature, but President Arthur
swatted four bills. A river and har
Dor appropriation act, he. said, was
mot for the common welfare"
Among the sol bills vetoed BY
President Cleveland during the foul
years of his first term were man!
pension and relief bills, minor II
character. President Benjamin Har
rison kept the veto power alive b!
using 1t in 10 cases, and Presiden
Cleveland during his second tern
found occasion to disapprove 4:
measures.
Few in number we're the yetoes o
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
President Taft seems destined to ex
coed the record of the other two.
Many measures that have become
law, however, have not received tn,

Cleveland reused to sign. II TIL
