UPHoLDs REDMOND.

Dublin Corporation Refuses to De-
 mand Home Rule by September IT.
 Dublin, Ire., July 16.-By a vote of 30 to 22 the city corporation yester- day refused to endorse a resolution demanding that 'the home rule act shall be put into operation in the whole of Ireland September IT,"
 By the same majority the corpor- ation adopted an amendment ex- pressing confidence in John E. Red- mond the Irish nationalist parliament tary leader to select the speediest means and the proper moment to bring the settlement into operation. Though the movers of the original resolution protested that there was nothing inimical to MT. Redmond in it. the majority scented mischief and suggestion of dissention in the na- tiona1 ranks. A disorderly scene fol- lowed the announcement of the result of the veto. The city councillors had to be forcibly prevented from engag- ing in fisticuffs.

They call his talk 'spieR I think Danny and Tomm would make splendid spie1ers fo your lemonade stand" Then I'll write him and tell hin yes. "said Annette, and she went tc her room for note paper.
 And when Mir. Day returned home he gave his son letter that read:
 Dear Danny and Tommy:-We are glad you are not hurt and we are sorry we were so cross with you to- day. If you will help us next Sat- urday we are sure 1t will be big success.
 ANNETTE and BESS."
 Before they went to bed that even- ing they opened the tin box to count their money. Imagine their surprise to find seven dollars and twenty-five cents.
 Why" said Bess. those men add ed lot from their own pockets while they were picking up for us.
 Part H.-The Second Stand.
 The tree on which grew tue biggest and sweetest cherries in the county had four main branches that left the trunk eight feet from the ground, and the spaces between the branches were nearly equal. Johnny noticed this one morning and he saw how easy 1t would be to build play house up there. He asked hts father if he might do so. and was told that he could if he did not use any nails.
 The ends of two beams can be wedged in,'' he said: land I'll use nails only on the other two. That will make foundation. across which we can fasten blanks for floor"
 "But you will need roof: how will you manage that?' asked father.
 "I can use the awning that the girls had on their stand. and fasten it to the branches above.'
 "But we want that awning for our stand on Saturday" protested An nette
 "Oh, bother!" exclaimed Johnny. Wouldn't you rather have a nice tree house than spoil 1t III just for a few hours at something you won't get any lasting fun out of? Besides. Joe Hanson has an extra one of those big umbrellas they use on delivery wagons and I'll get that for you"
 '"The umbrella would be even bet ter for us,' said Bess. We could fasten the old sign to the edge"
 What about walls?" asked father
 "I can use the canvas curtain we had on the verandl last summer
 "All right. You seem to have it pretty we'll planned. But don't drive more than three or four nails into the tree"
 Johnnie got Dick to help him put the four heavy beams in place and the elder brother became so interest ed that he stayed home all day, and the house was completed by supper time. Then Annette and Bess came out to see it and were boosted up by their big brother
 Why, it's as solid as our house and nearly as large as our bedroom.

that splendid said Bess; land the train trade hasn't started yet"
 For a half hour business was dull; tney sold only one bunch of cherries .o woman. Then dozen men came up Lne street from the station and TOT nIteen minutes the two girls were Kept very busy. When things be- came quiet again they counted up and found Sl.65 in their box. That's do- Ing better than I ever expected" said Annette.
 By 3 o'clock they had refilled the bowl twice; at o'clock they gave a small boy a nickel and glass of
 lemonade to run to the nearest groc-
 cry and buy them some lemons and
 sugar. At 5 o'clock they counted
 S4.75, and they had spent thirty-five
 cents for supplies.
 While Bess was figuring how much the pront would be. after subtracting
 what had been paid in the first place
 TOT lemons, sugar and ice, they heard great racket. Something came banging and clattering along the
 pavement andA there were cries of
 Whoa there! Stop, I say!" They only had time to jump from their chairs when with crash their
 table was upset and glasses and bowl were broken into hundreds of pieces. Rolling over the ruins of the table came a yellow-haired boy and he f1n- ally landed with his face In the dirt and heels in air between Annette and Bess. Mixed up with what was lett of the table and the broken crooks
 was something that looked as ii Il
 might once have been little red
 wagon. Standing to one side, and
 calmly eating cherries was goat from whose back dangled pieces ot harness. On the tip of enc horn was l knot of white baby ribbon. Before the sisters could recover from their astpnishment another boy came running into the lot or rather he came at 3 hop, skip and jump; and 1t was evident that one of his 1 legs pained him. @Are you hurt Danny?" he asked. The boy who was on the ground sat up and rubbed some of the dirt from his eyes. Then he Jumped te l his feet. No. not much he said | shaking himself. as if to learn if al, his bones were in place. Say. Tom. my, did you ever see such foo
 goat. He-''
 I Then he stopped, for Annette ha6 commenced to cry. "I think it's toe
 mean for anything, Danny Day, fol l you and that ugly animal to come along and upset our lemonade stand. she said between her sobs. l Yes, and just as the last train if l coming. Joined in Bess; and she
 stamped her foot. 'Icok at mothers l glassware, all smashed to pieces, and l our money all scattered around"
 We'll pick it up" said Danny I neek1y.
 l You'd better,' said Bess; "ant l drive that old goat away from whats i left of our cherries"
 1 Tommy, perhaps you had bette, lead Buttons down the street" saie 1 the yellow-haired boy. I'll find the pennies"
 "Penniesi" exclaimed Bess scorn. fully. They're nickeis. dimes and quarters. and there's nearly i've dol. liars of them.

Oh, I'd just love to play out here to- morrow" said Annette.
 You girls couldn't climb up and down without tearing your dresses said Johnny.
 l Couldn't we! can climb as high as you can," said Bess. !, Well, you might but Annette couldn't"
 "If you'll let them play up here I'll fix 1t so that 1t will be easy TOT all of you," said Dick "All right; if they'll bring their l stove up here" Johnny had been very friendly with his sisters since Bess had been given a toy stove. He said it was the one thing the girls had that was sensible.
 There was still an hour of daylight left and Dick built broad ladder, which he securely fastened to the tree It stood we'll out from tue trunk and Annette said 1t was as easy to climb as were the steps lead ing to tho attic.
 In the morning Johnny drew a chalk line across the floor of the tree house. Put your things over there. and I'll put mine on this side." he told his sisters.
 So they brought out their dolls bed and dresser, the toy stove and two chairs. How can we get them up?" said Annette. We can't carry them. for we have to use both hands on the ladder"
 Wait minute" said Johnny, and he darted on run for the house and soon returned with piece of clothes line. Now" he said when he had climbed into the tree house, you fasten things on and I'll haul them up."
 Tn this manner all the furniture was hoisted until they came to the stove. 'I don't know how to tie this on," called Bess.
 Ask Bridget for a half bushel basket and put the stove in that. Then you can tie the line to the handle"
 When the girls side had been furnished Johnny commenced ar ranging his own. He brought out his fishing rod and tackle, hic bat, ball, glove and catcher's mask. then his roller skates, his tops and his kite. On his last trip from the house he carried something rolled under his arm. When opened this proved to be his American. flag, which he hoisted on little pole that he had fastened to branch near the roof
 Wont these things get wet when 1t rains?" asked Annette.
 "I Il let down the curtains" said her brother. Don't you see they are rigged up on all four sides?"
 About three o'clock that afternoon the sisters were sewing and Johnny was making a new tail for his kite when Bess suddenly exclaimed:
 There comes Danny Day and Tom my!"
 "Where?" asked Annette.
 Driving their goat down the street I do believe they're coming here. Yes, they've stopped and are hitch ing Buttons to the fence. Call them, Johnny, and tell them where we are"
 Johnny formed his hands like a speaking and shouted:
 Hi! kids! Come over here. We're up in a tree"

President Poincare Blames Ger
 many for War

Paris. July 15.-President Poincare, Who delivered the address at the fu- neral services yesterday for Captain Joseph Rouget de Lisle, composer of the Marseillaise, rapidly sketched the events in Europe leading up to the war finding everywhere a deliberate purpose of Germany and Austria Hun ary to provoke war for their own ob- 3asntss as all history will show
 Posterity will learn with stupefac- tlorl, President Poincare continued, that one day the German ambassa- dor, after vain1y seeking to have him. self insulted publicly by the populace or Paris, presented without smiling, as cause for war, a fable imagined in Wilhelms Strasse that French avia- tors, without any one perceiving them, had gone to throw bombs on Nurem- berg.''
 Alludes to Solemn Treaties.
 The president alluded to the sol emn treaties being torn up, to the barbarous terrorism of non-combat- ants and to science dishonored in the service of savagery. Turning to the members of the French cabinet. he said:
 You interrogated your conscience l III serenity, knowing lIldL dt no mo- ment have we neglected word or act which would serve to dissipitate this war. We have been innocent of a most brutal aggression, methodically premeditated, but since we were forced to draw the sword we have no right to put it back into the scabbard before the day when we shall have vineicated the dead, and until a com mon victory of the allies shall permit us to repair the ruins and to restore France integrally and prevent a per- iodic return of provocation. What would tomorrow be if lame peace should ever rest upon the debris of our cities?"
 At Mercy of Rivals.
 The president said that France un- der such peace would be at the mercy of her triumphant rivals, and added:
 There is no soldier, no citizen and no woman of France but understands
