Idle Thoughts
Little Articles in Prose and Poem, Concerning
Serious and Humorous Topics of the Day
By Percy We're.

The Hegira of Summer
The birds are warbling farewell notes,
Their flight has just begun,
No more we'll hear from swelling throats
A song with morning sun.
Gone to the south. that sunny cline
Where honeysuckles bloom,
And hollyhocks and jessamine,
Give forth their sweet perfume
The fields are dotted here and there
With sheaves of golden grain,
And corn is waving in the air,
Each side the old COW lane.
Laden are trees with apples sweet,
Peaches and pears and plums;
All have ripened for you to eat
Before old Jack Frost comes.
Hickory nuts-the scaly- -barks.
Are lying meath the trees
You hear the song of meadowlarks
Borne on the autumn breeze.
And tiny squirrels with saucy ways,
Frolic there to and fro,
Gathering food for winter days
Before the fall of snow.
The harvest moon of amber beam
Shines on, into the night;
While old Jack Frost with silv'ry sheen.
Adds jewels to the sight.
'Tis autumn now, the time of year
When natures all a-glow-
So hearken if you care to hear
September breezes blow.

met a lady whose happy smile
Brought peace to all it blest;
And made one wish for just while
To tarry there and rest.
She showed a care so very tender
One thought an angel near;
In her eyes showed such splendor-
No other place half so dear.
A little chap played on the floor;
His fun-was wars deep game;
And as his mother passed the door
She gaily called his name.
Sisters and brothers little man,
How many may you be?"
How many? Seven" his answer ran
And wondering looked at me.
And where are they? pray you say"
He answered, Seven are we;
Ted in No Mans Land must stay;
Jess stands guard meath the sea.
Sister Grace does Red Cross work
In France, across the sea;
Cause Germans bombed her in kirk
She can't come back to me.
Brother Frank and Will few IN the air
Guarding every trench:
Here's the medals-On this chair
Sent us by the French.
That is fve-sx with me" he said,
And brother Jack is seven;
His sword is kept by Mothers bed
He waits for us in Heaven.
But how is this my little man.
How there seven be;
When SIX are dead and by your plan
Can neer come back to thee:''
Then did the little chap reply:
Seven, Mother says are;
Six sons across the sea--and +
Helping to win the war.
And often after sunset sir,
When dusk begins to fall.
We sit right there-besde that fir
And talk about them all.
How fine Ted looked all dressed in blue
He was the first to GO
Men like him, Mother says are few;
She surely ought to know.
Jess came home from school right away
Soon's he heard Ted was gone
And left us-Mother says to stay
With the ship he sailed upon
Sister Grace-I miss her most at night,
She lived right here with us
She cried; Mother just held her tight,
Never made bit of fuss.
Frank and Will and Jack chose by chance
The one who stayed at home;
That's how Frank and Will went to France
Up in the air to roam.
Then when the medals came. she cried
The very first time you know
And sent Jack away-who was her pride
To fight that wicked foe.
You see, sir, seven we can only be;
Mother says that it is so;
Ard she would never lie to me;
Too she surely ought to know
went my way better, braver man
For this glimpse of Heaven;
In my heart saw that mothers plan
Knew, truly, they were seven.

With the Americans in France,
June 12.-The Americans have COM
pletely cleared the important Bel
leau woods, five miles west Of Cha
teau Thierry, Of enemy forces. Ger
mans were slaughtered in large num-
bers and the survivors fled.
The Americans prepared with ar
tillery and then attacked. The Ger
mans are still holding the northern
section of the woods. The Sammies
followed instructions in pushing
through to the northeast corner, cap
turing $50 prisoners, two three-inch
guns and some minewerfers.
The u. S. casualty list was light,
except at one point where German
machine gun nests held out for some
time.
A German attack at Bourches was
repulsed. $
German prisoners captured are
young men, drafted from all parts of
Germany. They say many regiments
are recruited from the Jews who are
compelled to go into battle by ma
chine guns placed at the rear Of
their lines After they enter battle
they are chained to guns and wagons.
Prisoners also say the German people
understand there are only 100000

Washington, June ia terrific
battle Is to be waged this fall for
control Of the United States senate.
Democratic control now is theoret-
ically held by eight votes. Actually,
the margin is much simmer, as sew
eral democrats can be found voting
with the republicans on nearly every
important measure. Since on war
measures the republicans have been
quite as strong supporters of the ad-
ministration as, the majority party,
this tenuous control has not hurt the
democrats. But they realize the dan
ger to their prestige, and are going
out this fall in an effort to better
their holdings.
Republicans, on the other hand,
are confident of reducing the pres
ent margin of control by four or five.
They already claim ability to elect
senators in Idaho, New Hampshire,
Illinois, Kansas and Nevada. In
several other states, they claim a
fighting chance"
Borah is Running.
In Idaho, Senator Borah is seeking
reelection. 1t seems likely. from
present indications, that Borah will
have fairly easy time of it. It has
been rumored also that compromise
had been worked out whereby Sena-
tor Nugent, democrat. appointed to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator Br ady,S would not be opposed
by the republicans, i'm return for SIM
liar treatment Of Borah by the demo-
Gratis. Borah's friends deny this, and
claim they will be able TO elect a
republican to succeed Nugent. Both
sides concede it will be a "pretty
fight"
New Hampshire, recognized as nor
mally republican, must elect one SEN
ator Senator Hollis, democrat, has
stated he will not seek reelection,
make the race, claiming he will be
strong support of the war govern
tiOn.
The G. O. p. however, maintains
that Hollis won his seat because of
dissatisfaction in the republican
ranks which threw progressive votes
to him. With. a united support, they
assert they can beat Hollis or any

Lewis Has Fight Ahead.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis
faces the fight Of his life in Illinois.
Lewis is waiting to be coaxed into
the race, apparently, though his
friends are in no doubt that he will
run.
Representative Medill Mccormick
seems certain to be his republican
opponent, and McCormick's support
ers say they already see his election.
Lewis is strong campaigner, and
the battle will be one Of the hottest.

In a decision handed down today,
Judge Stanton denied the motion for
setting aside the verdict of the jury
that sent Roland Henrionnet to the
state penitentiary for. life for the
murder Of Oscar Nelson, and also de-
MED the motion for new trial.
The motion was argued June 1 by
Henry Funkley of Bemidji, M. J.

nedy &: Kennedy, the latter law firm
being Of St. Paul, while County At
;torney Graham M. Torrance repre-
scented the People Of the State. In
every contention Mr.: Torrance was
sustained. ><.5Esz:51t,S .r. '--..,.-
Two points were urged as error,
one that manslaughter in the first de-
gree should have been submitted to
the jury, the other that it was pre-
judicial to sustain the States objec-
tion to the question what was
said?" propounded to the defendant
when he was on the witness stand.
- Analysis of Points. ~.
In the course Of his decision Judge
Stanton says: 49,
cit is manifest from the defend
ants own<version of the affray that
he did not fire the fatal shots in the
heat of passion. He testified that
he was not excited at the time.' The
defense was based upon the claim
that steverything went black to de-
faasiant as soon as his head was
Eshoged against the wall; that de-
fandaht inst became uncon-

=. No Passion Mentioned. 49,
;""Tflere Is in the testimony no sug-
gestion of heat of blood or sudden
passion This theory of the defense
and the facts disclosed render the
law, respecting manslaughter inap-
plicable and this degree of homicide
could not have fairly been submit
ted.
:'No error can be predicated upon
the exclusion of the answer to the
question, What was said?' because
that question Immediately followed
the question Now, what occurred
then, between you and Oscar Nelson?'
to which the defendant responded,
why, he spoke to me the same as
usual This had reference to what
occurred when defendant and Nelson
first met in front of the City Drug
store and no attempt or offer was
made to show any other statement
by Nelson, either during their walk
from the drug store around to the
stairway, or the stairway where the
shooting took place.
Constituted No Error.
''Subsequent conversation between
defendant and Nelson, especially
when they were in the stairway,
might we'll have been a part of the
res gestae and admissible. But then
the exclusion of such conversation
would not have constituted preju-
dicial error in the light of defend
ants own version of the tragedy and
of his claimed mental incapacity at
the moment the shooting was done. -

Coast Patrol
Battle U-Boat
0ffEast Coast
BY CARL D. GROAT
United Press Correspondent

Washington, June 12.-An Amer
ican coast patrol boat has been in
battle with a German submarine.
This is learned from unquestionable
sources and it is also known the navy
department has a mass of reports
from patrol commanders. None Of
these have been made public.
Secretary Daniels states that only
absolutely authenticated cases Of
sinkings or captures are announce
able, but the United Press has learn
ed that undoubtedly an American
patrol fired upon a submarine and
dropped depth bombs about her. The
effect is only conjectured.
=. The, second case is not so clear
cut, but it is also believed auth
entic and also on record. ="
