Jonathan Crabshaw's contribution to
the celebration fund made It possible
for Paddington to "put It all over"
Greenville in the matter Of Fourth Of
July fireworks. When the old man
and his wife and their little boy got
home after witnessing the splendid
display Mr.. BRADSHAW said:
Mother, ! never really knew before
what the Fourth OF July was for. Amt
It been glorious day all around?"
Then he kissed the little boy and
after that he put an arm around his

housewOrK and get along upon the
barest necessities. He had driven his
son away from home and then blamed
him for not returning. humble and
penitent. Most Of his time was spent
in his garden. 1t was the only thing
he seemed to care for.
Having given his wife orders to
write that they had no place for their
grandchild, the old man took It for
granted that the matter was settled
and walked out Of the house.
It was on the second Of July that
Jonathan BRADSHAW, who was busy in
his garden, heard the hinges Of the
gate squeaking. He locked up and
saw little boy who had Just etepped
inside. No little boy had ever entered
there before. Jonathan Crabshaw's
garden was forbidden territory. Even
his wife was afraid to go into it.
The little boy stood for awhile, look
ing at the hard" old man who was
half leaning upon his hoe.
We'll, 2 the old man asked, what do
you want here?"
Il want to come in and help yous
the little boy replied.
Get out!'
"Are you my grandpa? 7"
"Your grandpa What do you
means"
I'm Henry. Grandma told me you
was out here all alone.
Jonathan BRADSHAW dropped his hoe
and began rubbing the dirt from his
hands.
"How did you get here?" he asked.
Il came all by myself on the train, :
the little boy said. my papa put me
In the car and grandma was waiting
for me when got here. Ny mamma
is very sick"
There was a big apple tree in one
corner Of the garden, near the gate.
Under it was seat which Jonathan
BRADSHAW had made for himself. He
went to it, and sat down.
"Come here" he said.
The little boy went to him and
leaned upon his knee.
The old man had hard look, but
in spite Of that the little boy bore a
strong resemblance to him.
ESQ your names Henry, is it?p
Yes. And your names grandpa,
isn't it,"
The hard" look seemed to fade out
OF Jonathan Crabshaw's face

TO STRENGTHEN
PACIFIC FLEET
Sec. Daniels Announcement
Significant.
WILL STAY INDEFINITE TIME
After the Atlantic Fleet Passes
Through the Panama Canal At the
Official Opening It viii Re-
main on the Coast.

Washington. d. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels announced that after the
Atlantic feet Of 90 battleships and
many smaller. craft passes through the
Panama Canal next March on its way
to the Panama Exposition, it will re-
main in Pacific waters for long time.
While the present plans are more OF
less vague, it is known that the fleet
is expected 20 maneuvre in Puget
Sound and cruise generally up and
down the coasts of California, Wash
ington and Oregon. 1t has not as yet
been decided to send the feet as far
West as the Hawaiian Islands, though
the Navy Department does not say
positively that such a cruise will not
be taken. S
The announcement Of Mr.. Daniels
is particularly interesting just now for
two reasons. The lighting feet in the
Pacific is already far stronger than
ever 1t has been before, and that adds
to the Significance Of further strength
ening it with the bulk OF the floating
armament of the United States for an
indefinite period. And this reinforce
ment viii come at time when the re-
|newed correspondence between the
United States and Japan may be ex-
pected to have reached . definite de-
velopment.
Both Sides Firm.
One chapter of this correspondence
which showed unyielding firlnness on
both sides, closed with the publication
here and in Toxic OF the notes to date.
The second chapter was opened in
reality the day before by the sending Of
Mr.. Bryan's reply to the last Japanese
communication, received at the De-
partment of State on June To- from
the Japanese foreign minister, Baron
Kato
In that communication Baron Kato
intimated that he would be pleased
to have an answer to the japanese
note of August 26, 1918. In his note
Of June 90 1t is understood that Mr..
Bryan refers to the japanese note of
August 26 merely enough to suggest
that Japan bring forward the other
aspects Of the subject to which yelled
reference was made by the Japanese
Ambassador. At that point Mr.. Bryan
rest his case. leaving the next move
entirely to the Imperial Government.
Mr.. Bryan has intimated that his last
note may be made public next week.
AZ a Gentle Hint.
It is not expected. of course, that
the California controversy, which In
its most recent stages, was little more
than an academic discussion for pur-
poses of record, will reach a point
where the presence of the feet in the
Pacific will be a necessity But it is
believed that Mr.. Daniels announce
ment of his plans on the day following
the publication of the Japanese CORE
spondence may be intended as gentle
hint of the frmness of the United
States in the correspondence. 1t is
known that news Of Mr.. Daniels an
has already been unofa-
cially cabled to Japan.

Archduke Francis Ferdinand stopped
his car and, after making inquiries
as to their injuries and lending what
aid he could, continued his journey to
the Town Hail. There the Burgo-
master began the customary address,
but the Archduke sharply interrupted
and snapped out:
Herr Burgomaster, we have come
here to pay you a visit and bombs
have been thrown at us. This is al
together an amazing indignity."
After a pause the Archduke said:
"Now you may speak"
She Falls Across Her Husband.

In their exploit Prinzip said he had
studied for time at Belgrade
He declared he had long intended
to kill some eminent person from ma
tionalist motives. He was awaiting
the, Archduke at point where he
knew the automobile would slacken
speed, turning into Franz Josef strasse.
The presence of the Duchess in the
car caused him to hesitate. but only
for a moment. Then his nerve re-
turned and he emptied his pistol at
the imperial pair. He denied that he
had any accomplices.

he had obtained the bomb from anar-
chists at Belgrade. whose names he
did not know He denied also that

Yes, the Democratic administration
is a great thing for our North Dakota
farmers. Butter is Is cents a pound
eggs Is cents a dozen, with the out
look that they will be cheaper in a
few days, barley SO cents a bushcl and
other grain prices OF the downward
slide, the farmers who voted for VIII
son should now feel elated over the
conditions that his administration has
brought about. Of course the fellow
who is living in town and has his but
ter and eggs and other farm produce
to buy is not kicking. It is very evil
dent that the present administration
is not for the benefit of the farmer
who is really the backbone Of the coun

from cheap prices for his produce, but
does he find that he is hiring his help
any cheaper than he did when he got
