So spake the Captain OF Plymouth,
as he strobe about In the cham

Chatting and choking with rage; like
cords were the veins on his tenn

But in the midst of his anger a man
appeared at the doorway,
Bringing In uttermost haste mes

Straightway the Captain paused, and,
without further question or par

Buckled the belt round his waist. and,
frowning fiercely, departed.

Hot Fight Lasting "a Hours Takes

for them-Itahans Lost IL Killed.

Tripoli.-An important movement Is
now in progress with the object of driv-
ing the Arabs out of the oasis and of
extending the Italian front. The action,
which was begun at daybreak, was open
ed with an attack on Fort Mesri by the
sixth brigade from Boumelia on the west
front.
After several hours of fighting the
Italians succeeded in dislodging the
Arabs and General Frugones, command
er of the Italian forces, ordered the
third division on the east front to ad-
brigade joined the third, taking a po-
sition so as to protect the division from
attack in the direction of Ainzara, and
to prevent junction of the Arabs and
Turks.
At the time of filing this message, the
Italian extreme right was hotly en-
gagged against the Turkish regulars.
The new front, if the movement is.
successful, will extend from Mesri to
Honni. AS soon as the Italians are es~
tabished, reinforcements will be rush
ed up to positions strongly entrenched
by the engineers.
The Italian advance, it is announced,
was complete success at every point
The fighting, which lasted all day, end
ed at nightfall by the Turks retiring
from all their positions.
An italian reconnaissance on a pa-
teau beside the city resulted in an en-
counter with the Turkish forces. The
fighting lasted all day, both sides retir-
ing on their positions. The italian
casualty list numbered 70 killed and 50
wounded.

this irreverent language:

Not from the. lannon's mouth were

But UNDECIDED fell this mild rebuks
on the Captain,
Who had advanced to the table, and
thus continued discoursing:

cruel thoughts that pursue me.
Back will l go DER the ocean. this
dreary land will abandon,
Her whom l may not love. and him

Better to be in my grave in the green
old churchyard in England,
Close by my mothers side. and among

Better be dead and forgotten. than liv-

Sacred and. safe and unseen, in the

With me my secret shall die, like

Bright on the hand that is dust, in the

Thus as he spake, he turned, in the
strength of his strong resolution,
Leaving behind him the shore, and
Through the congenial gloom of the
forest silent and somber.
TIL he beheld the lights In the seven
houses of Plymouth,
Shining like seven stars in the dusk
and mist of the evening.
Soon he entered his door, and found
the redoubtable Captain
Sitting alone. and absorbed in the
martial pages OF Caesar.

Long have you been on your errand,"
he said with CHEEKY demeanor,
Even as one who is waiting an an

woods are between us;
But you have fingered so long, that
while you were going and coming

Come, sit down, and in order relate

Then John Alden spake, and related
the wondrous adventure,
From beginning to end. infinitely, just
as 1t happened;
How he had seen Priscilla, and how
he had sped in his courtship,
Only smoothing little. and softening
down her refusal.
But when he came at length to the
words Priscilla had spoken,
Words so tender and cruel: why
don't you speak for yourself,
John?"
UP leaped the Captain of Plymouth.
and stamped on the floor. till his
armor
Changed on the wall, where 1t hung,
with sound OF sinister omen.
All his pent-up wrath burst forth In q
sudden explosion.
Even as a hand-grenade, that scat

Wildly he shouted, and loud: John

A Cincinnati drummer happened to
be put at table at Columbus with a
number of legislators. and the courtly
way in which they addressed each
other greatly bored the commercial
traveller. 1t was: will the gentleman
from Hardin do this?" and the gen.

invariably spoke to each other as tho
gentleman from whatever county they
happened to hail from.
For 10 or 10 minutes the drummer
bore It in silence.

RUSH WORK ON BOAT.
Chicago 6 Duluth Transportation Co.

II. L. Burke traffic manager of the
Chicago Il Duluth Transportation COM
pany which operates the steamer Min
nesota and several package freighters
expresses himself as well pleased with
the passenger business this season,
and predicts that the next summer il
will be even much heavier.
The people OF Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio, are beginning to learn OF the
beautiful summer weather i'm this part
of the country, and they are planning
to come here TO spend their vacations
Moreover, the Lake Superior ride is be-
coming more popular every year.
Mr.. Burke states that the bids for
the new boat. which viii be i'm service
by June, next year are expected Fri
day, and that the contract will be
awarded within few days. The COM
pany is determined to have a boat for
the next summers business, and the
firm TO which it is awarded will be in
structed to rush it. The construction
OF a passenger boat requires much
more time than that of package
freighter. and besides, there are SO
many details which have to be worked
out
The proposed boat will be one OF the
best and largest passenger boats, on
The lakes.
