Out on the Farm.

Out upon the farm It's lovely just about
this time y year.
Lambs and calves are gettin' frisky. birds
beglnnin' to appear,
Down along the stream the willows have
sort Of golden glow,
And the hens are cacklin' loudly and the
ROSTERS proudly crow.
Little colts with tails all curly hoist their
hind legs in the air,
And the farmer gets up early to begin his
duties there.
Out upon the farm it's splendid Just about
this time In spring.
When the winters gloom Is ended and
there's cheer in everything:
Larks and robins busy singin', blackbirds
chirpin' In the trees.
And cheerful promise whispered out Of
every pnssin' breeze;
Squirrels scootin' on tho fences, fields all
Bettin' green once more.
Every day the world commences to look
finer than before
Out upon the farm It's lovely just along
about this time.
There are new nests in the hedges, and
the wheat is lookin' prime.
All the streams are gladly gurglin' where
the pebbly shadows arc.
At the gate pig is tryin' to break through
the lower bar,
Round the gables swallows dartin', stub
bles turnin' dry and brown.
But the work out there In startin' and !
guess I'll stay in town.

 The battle for the possession of I[il- kish was desperate. The Greek right wing drove the Bulgarians into tho mountains beyond Livovan, while the center made vigorous frontal attack on Kilkish, with which the Bulgarians still retained contact The fourteenth Bulgarian division, under command of Gen. Dimintrieff, was stationed here.
 During the night the Bulgarians made violent surprise attack, with strong forces, which the Greeks re- pelled. The fourth Greek division made an impetuous counter attack and occupied the height east of Xiii kish.
 The big siege guns, which gave such wonderful results at Janina, were em- ployed against Kilkish batteries, while attacking parties made a flank move ment.
 These operations proved successful and Kilkish was occupied. Seventeen Bulgarian siege guns were captured. The Bulgarians fled in the direction of Demishissar.

Johannesburg, July 7.-The rioting gold miners continued their depreda- tions here by robbing all the gunshops in town. Six men were killed and 75 wounded in the fighting between po- lice and strikers.
 The strikers attempted to hold a meeting in the market place. The po- lice broke 1t up, and that started the trouble The miners struck several days ago. After their difference with the police they ran riot through the town. A newspaper office and several other buildings were burned, and all railway trains were held up and pre- vented from leaving the station.
 In desperation, the Johannesburg authorities called out the troops, and cavalry charged the strikers again and again. In several instances the police shot into the mob.

DEAD FOUR BEHIND TOTAL AT SAME TIME LAST YEAR, BUT
 MORE ARE INJURED.
WEST QUICKER TO REFORM
In Kansas Alone 50 Towns Have Laws for Sane Celebration, While New England Cities Report Great
 CT Casualties.

Chicago, July 7.-"The sanest Fourth in the history of the country" took toll of 16 dead and 793 injured, according to partially completed re- ports. When lockjaw victims have been accounted for and remote parts of the country heard from, the num- Der of dead is expected to mount to 25, with perhaps 1000 injured and fire loss caused by Independence day celebrations of approximately $150,000
 One year ago, at the same time the above estimate was made, 20 deaths and GAS injured had been reported When the entire country was heard from the number was swelled to Al dead and 947 injured, with fire loss of $576,525
 That the sane Fourth has spread rapidly throughout the west since last year is indicated by reports received. In Kansas alone 50 towns and cities have adopted sane Fourth ordinances, and Kansas was one of the states that suffered least of all fin this years celebrations.
 West Leads in Sane Fourth.
 New England and the eastern states have been slower than the west in prohibiting the sale of dangerous fire works, and the result is seen in the list of casualties. Bridgeport, Conn.,, for instance, has one dead and 37 in- jured, and Worcester, Mass, reports 29 injured, casualty lists out of all proportion to the size of the cities.
 New York and Chicago were ban ner cities in sane Fourth celebrations. In New York only eight injuries were reported In Chicago one girl met death and only nine were injured. Contrasted with the two largest cities, Philadelphia reported 113 injured and St. Louis had 41 casualties.
