THE OLto COtTllTRY BANS
J, I BHBOY.
Imen the band of olden time, when
you and I were boys;
When music, to be iweet to u, muit
drown all other noise.
When martial aim entranced our ears,
and every feelin flied;
When uniform! with golden braid
were all our heart desired.
Oh, how those fellows marched about
on every holiday I
The "Square" was filled with music
sweet, the streets with bright ar
ray, , -!
The town folks stood upon their steps,
the country folks, discreet,
With horses prancing to the tu- es,
drove up some other street.
i . . . .
The boysf Well, you can easy guess
we shall not try to hide it.
Whenever that old band was out, we
fellows marched beside it.
We kept the step the bandmen did,
and kept it quite as well, :
1 And always held our corner up when
it was time to yell. - ' s.
Perhaps they made some ' discords
perhaps the side horns blew
.About three times as strong and - loud
as they by right should do;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang ex
actly with the base
Perhaps the "B-flats" missed some
notes and tooted out of place.
But what cared we when we were
boys ? to our uncultured breast
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" was as
good aa Soma's best;
Our little backs would straighten up,
our thoughts would sqar away
The acme of our earthly bliss to play
a horn some day. '
I've heard full many bands since then,
and paid to get a seat;
I've heard them play their loudest airs
and softly, sadly sweet;
But never has my being thrilled with
raptare more complete
Than when I heard old Strasburg Band
go marching down the street.

London,- June 28. At 10:45 this
morning, the following official bul

Palace on the condition of
King Edward
"The King had a good night and his
improved condition Is maintained. We
are happy that we are able to state
this, and we consider his majesty to
be now out of immediate danger and
the general condition is satisfactory.

"The King is now out of immediate
danger." This announcement in the
morning bulletin spread quickly
throughout the metropolis and caused
general rejoicing. The verdict upon
which the nation has so anxiously
waitea causea a longer consultation
than usual. Lord Lister, Sir Frederick
Treves aud the other doctors discussed
the patient's condition for nearly an
hour before they committed themselves
to the important pronouncement It
was read at Buckingham Palace by
only a small crowd, the public being
ing's report that everything was going
well. Yet, to use the words of the
Wip.atm.i'njtter' dnvet.t.e. thA hullntin
was "full of intense relief." The un
derlying suspicion that the doctors
might fear more than they wrote, the
sensational rumors of his- majesty's
death which continued, even so late
as yesterday, and the lack of definite
unofficial news, all combined to create
intense nervousness.
uSuch hopeful statements as the As
sociated Pre S3 had been able to make
were not available to the British pub
lic, who, however, were spared the
sensational reports now so palpably
absurd which were cabled to America.
ihe reference to the wound, in this
morning's bulletin, it is authoritatively
set forth, can be regarded without any
disquietude, uyjune 3Utn the doc
tors are expected to announce that all
danger of complications has passed.

In view 5I the King's condition, it
is small wonder that the small group
of members of the royal family which
gathered at Victoria station this morn
ing were happy and cheerful. The
Prince of Wales went there to bid
farewell to his cousin, Prince Henry
of Prussia, and Crown Prince Louis
Philippe of Portugal, and others, who
were leaving London, including the
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin,
Frederick Francis, and the Egyptian
and Moorish envoys. The chief of staff
of the last named said to a reporter:
"I am smitten to the earth with sorrow
for Kin? Edward. Rncrl

back to civilization."
"A week which has witnessed emo
tions of such conflicting and intense
character as to be without parallel in
the nation's history, is ending as. it be

selves can scarcely realize that in the

has gone through the most acute stages
of jubilation, fear and hope. Now,

' .. 8lnking Creek Has 8unk Again.
The . disappearance x of Sinking
creek, a large mountain stream in
Pendleton' county, W. Va., has mys
tified the people and : has caused
financial : loss. It furnished power
for several mills," but has suddenly
disappeared. Some weeks ago : the
water in the stream began to fall
oTi.1 nnm Vio ftod ia almnBt drv.
There has been plenty of rain, and
the only explanation of the stream's
disappearance is that it has worn its
way through into a subterranean
cavern and joined one of the under
ground streams. - Old, citizens say
that the creek disappeared in '.the'
tame manner many years ago by
binding a subterranean outlet. This
incident gave the, name to the creek.

pass through the . eye of a needle
than for a foreigner to enter Russia
these days without a passport, says
a St. Petersburg, correspondent.
The system is getting more and
more rigid instead of being relaxed.
After making a good deal of official
fuss on your entering the country-
carefully scrutinizing the passport,
copying it and taking it from you
from time to time they make the
6ame fuss on your leaving. They
keep harassing you during your stay
with questions as to when you in
tend leaving. They give you the
idea that your presence among them
is a matter of much concern to
them and that it will be a great re
lief to them when you are gone.
Unlucky Names.
Juliet's "What in a name?"
might be asked regarding the ves
sels of the British navy which have
borne the names of reptiles. It is
said that four Vipers have been
wrecked, the last of the name but
recently, and a "Cobra, still more
lately, has broken in two and gone
to the bottom with officers and men.
Also four Serpents, three Lizards,
two Snakes, one Alligator, one
Crocodile, one Rattlesnake, one Basi
lisk and two Dragons, which are not
reptiles, have at various times met
with disaster. British tars, it is
said, have a superstitious feeling of
dislike against sailing in vessels
bearinsr such names. Liickv or un
lucky, the names are needlessly dis
agreeable - . -
