All on the double-quick;
And though we climb up to the top,
We wish the tree was higher,

We always know when It's his turn,
'Cause 'fore he comes down stairs ;jj
He rips out words that sound just like
Our icemanhen he swears,
And cats and docs and hens and geese
From out his path retire,
And scat 'way out to our back lot
When father makes the fire.
Taen 'fore he aires the kitchen stove
A rakin', like as not,
He kicks the scuttle .'cross the floor
And breaks the coffee-pot,
And when he takes the ashes out
The fates and him conspire,
To sift them on the table-cloth
When father makes the fire.
They say that was is terrible,
, And plagues and pestilence.
And that they bring to sons of men
Great suffering and expense.
But I'll just bet they can't compare
With woes that we' acquire
When ma's away, or sick abed,
And father makes the fire.

About 75,000,000 acres of

cording to the eager advocates of
the measure, will be paid by settlers
not by the Government. Since the

It may be there is some truth in
the Secretary's declaration of "peace

At least we note that certain syndi

Congress bow to them. Of course
these syndicates would "hasten de

how dearly the price for time is paid.

that Congress restricts the sale of

BOILER MAKERS' STRIKE.
Over Five Hundred Men Dlschirfed by
the Union Pacific Railroad.
bt Telegraph to the Morning Btar.
Omaha, Nkb June 21. The strike
situation on the Union Pacific Took a
more serious aspect to-day than It has
assumed at any time since the difficul
ty began. Five hundred and twenty
five shopmen were given their dis
charge as a direct result of the strike
of the boiler makers and were told by
the railroad officials that the wholesale
discharge was caused by the lack of
work, resultant from the walkout of
Wednesday. Of this number 225 were
employed in the -local shops, 100 at
Armstrong, Kas., and 200 at the Chey

the. Long Billed Avooet and the BUCK
Necked Stilt.
There are two birds, more or Jess
common, in the central part of the
TJnited States and abundant in the
far west, which occasionally stray
eastward to the middle-and north4
Atlantic coast and have been een
on Long Island. These are tfie
American avocet and the blacK
necked stilt, both of them suffi
ciently striking in appearance to at
tract immediate attention. The avo
cet is a slender creature, sixteen to
eighteen inches from end of bill to
tip of tail. Its wjngs and shoulders
are black, the tail pearl CTav. Tha
rest of the plumage is white, chang
ing to a chestnut brown on the neck
and head. Such a combination of
colors is noticeable enough, but
when to this are added eitraordt
narijylong blue legs and a very slen
der bill, comprising nearly a fourth
of the bird's entire length and hav
ing a strong upward curve, a most
fantastic object results.
Its actions are no less peculiar
than its looks. Wading in shallow
water, it bends forward so that tile
curve of the bill touches the botpm,
and it swings it back and forth'ln
unison with its advancing
Tle movement suggests a man
swinging a scythe, the object beng
to discover with, the very sensitive
bill the food which the muddy bot
tom.conceals. . The black necked stilt somewhat
resembles the avocet, but itsr needle
like bill is perfectly straight and is
not swung from-side to Bide -In walk
ing. The length oHts bill has led
the western farmers to call it the
lawyer, in alighting the stilt is as
awkward as a boy just learning to
walk on wooden stilts, and it bp
to "have fully as much difficultv in

sion, the rates on the risk of the King:

there is no ground for believing that tb e

illness at Aldershot, land every precau

In the meantime, preparations for
the crowning hurry on apace. It. is
already difficult for pedestrians to tra
verse the main thoroughfares during
the greater part of the day, and they
are almost impassable at night, owing
to the crowds of visitors, with which
store clerks, costers, and London's
marvellous;floating population gener

along through the .streets, gazing
at the vast decorations which are
now taking on a finished aspect
Such illuminations, festooning and be
flagging as will mark coronation day,
Thursday next have never before been
seen in London. Scarcely a house
along the principal parts of the route
of tbe procession but: has erected an
electric or gas service, while a profu
sion of gay cloths and flags, interspers
ed with mottoes and representations of
the royal arms already hide most of
the outer walls. Some of the streets
are already roped with dazzling fes
toons of fairy lamps. Even
the abused stands, which for
weeks have made London so hideous
with their bare boards, are now rapid
ly being draped in rich purple or other
suitable colors. The United States
embassy has joined in the general
jubilation and is erecting aa illumina
tion surmounted by a crown. Through
out the American firms and individ
uals are not a whit behind the British
in decorating their premises. Count
less stars and stripes will fly out of the
windows on Thursday and Friday as
a welcome to the newly crowned
king. In fact some of the most elab
orate displays of the metropolis will
be by American firms, doing business

THE CHICAQ0 DERBY.

bt TeiesraDn to tbe Morning star.
Chicago. June 21. Coming with a
sweeping stride through the stretch,
the game colt Wyeth won his first
Derby and upheld the traditions of the
race by the overthrow of the favorites,
and by the Western horses, the favor
ites oeing the best that could be sent
from the East There is no room for
argument about the best horse win
ning. The race was cleanly run and
truly won.
Heno, the heavily played Eastern
colt who went to the post the favorite
at 21 to 1, failed to finish inside the
limit and Pentecost and Arsenal
ran a terribly disappointing race.
The story of the race is soon told.
At the start Otis and Heno at once
showed in front with Wyeth last
When half the distance of the race
had been completed Heno and Otis
still held a commanding lead, and
snowed no signs of retiring. Bull
man seemed to think the time
had come for him to make
make his run with Heno. It was a poor
piece of jockeyship. Heno, when let
downdrew away from Otis and went
around tbe far turn increasing his lead
until fully three lengths in advance.
As they rushed round the last turn
into tbe straight run for home, Heno
still had first place but it was costing
him an effort With a furlong still to
run, ujue maae nis move on Wyeth.
He set the colt down and the Son of
Wadsworth and Ponsie came away
past the leaders with little effort pass
ing under the wire a comfortable win
ner by two lengths.

"I-donJt believe tbere are any
plaything like that'; said Auntie

I'll show jou how to play with 6ome"
plaything that ! used . to make me
very happv when I was a little girl,
but that J( never, see any little chil

By the Mme Mary had found her
hat Auntie Joy ces ready with two
paper bags, from the kitchen. They
went out o the empty lot near the
house andlAuntio Joy told Mary to
be caref ulj I i
"We shall like the playthings we
are after much, better in our baM
than clinging to our skirts," she
said, laughing. . .
6o they filled the two bags with
the "stickers" which Mary had al
ways hate before and went back
to the veranda. And here Auntie
Joy poured' the "stickers" out on
big paper and showed Mary how to
make themj into; doll's furniture.
Mary njjoyed the play so much
that it was; supper time long before
she expected it. '
"I havenft had such a good time
this summer," she told Auntie Jey
as they went into the! hons to

The Kind of People One Meets In
1 -S-lThird Class Railway Cars.:.,-'
"A11 the third class cars on the Si
berian railway- are grimy; there are'
eeotidns reserved for V women" and
children. The-woodwork ia nftint-
ea drab inside, but there ia fcot
vestige of cushion. ' I spent hours
among these ; emigrants.;. X- find,
tfcem interesting, TJiey are horri
bly dirty,- and aa they like to have
the window closed, -despite the tern
Sjr uLure, purs reejs wiin oaor. i
hev. carry all .heir worldly pos-'
sessions with them, some foul sleep
ing rugs and some bundles of more
foul clothing. These are spread but
on the hard seats to make them a
little less had.--7-'-.''.'::'-:'':.
Bread, tea andjnelons seem their
chief fare. - There are great chunks
of sour bread. ; and at every halt
.kettles are seized and scramble is
made r to the platform,-where the;
local peasant women have steaming
samovars and sell a kettle of boiling
water for a halfpenny and a water
rnelon as bigas .your head for a
penny. ' . ......
Besides "bread eating and scatter
ing half of it on- the floor and
munching . melons and making a"
mess with the rind and splashing
the - water about - when teamaking
there is the constant smoking or
cigarettes.- They are tiny, unsatis
fying things, half cardboard iube,-
proviae tnree modest pulls and are
then to be- thrown - away. You
could smoke a hundred a day and
deserve no lecture on being' a slave
to tobacco. Cor. London News.
Fighting Owls.
Owls have a habit of dealing with
game they have killed - that leads
some observers to think that, like
dogs, they prefer fowls that have
not been too recently slain. One
of the birds will often leave a
chicken or rabbit for a day or two
before eating it. An old trapper
savs he has often hud TnTislrTnt tra-na
robbed by owls, only a part of the
rai pemg eaten.
When he finds a trap so disturbed,
the trapper leaves the rat where.it
Hes ana sets another trap beside it.
& all probability the bird will re
turn the second night, in which case
it will be more than likely to be in
ine trap wnen the owner comes next
morning. ' An owl in a trap will of
fer to fight, and, if it gets a chance,
will peck at its captor or his 'dog uri
mercifully. -
A farmer who caught one of the
birds by setting a trap alongside of
a chicken that had been killed in
judiciously reached out to catch it
by tbe feet. The free foot executed
a movement that was entirely be
yoifd the farmer's comprehension,
and the next minute tKe latter
found' his wrist gripped- in a set of
claws to which the trap was as noth
ing. He was obliged to loll the
bird, and then found that the claws,
had penetrated to the bone.
On account of the Fourth nf Jnlv
holiday, excursion tickets via Atlan
tic Coast Line will be sold between all
points east Of the Missininni pIvap biiH
