Wo first noticed it about a week ago, whon about midnight we were attracted by tho cry of u robin or a pair of robins In distress. This was followed by tho hcreeehingof bluo jay.s and our first thought was that the robins wero beiug attacked by the jays, when tho mocking bird changed to an excellent imitation of a small chickou that was lost followed by the call of tho mother lion. Thou followed an imitutibu of the croaking of a frog, then tho imitation of tho robins nnd bluo jays, tho hen and chickens and tho frogs wore repented, time after time each one so well done that no one would have guessed that It was not tho rod thing except tor tho regu lar repetition of the crios iu order given.

Onlr mother! She won't euro If wo leave her alone; she doesn't mind. Only mother! You wanted a tenuis racket and sho gave you tho money thnt she was saving for a cnllco gown. But sho didn't need tho gown; she said so. Only moth-r! Sho hasn't had any thing now tills summer But it is dif ferent with her; she Is old uud you ure young Of cour-o It Is natural thut you should wont trills and rulllos; she doe-n't care for them. Only m ther! She wouldn't enjoy the picnic Besides, sho hasn't timo to ko; thoro is work to be done. Sho told you so Why, bless her. she hnd 4 lots" rather stay at homo aud finish thut weeding In tho garden. Didu't she say so Only mother! Her hat is out of stylo, but that Isn't the reason why she didn't go to church Sunday. She laughts at style and does't care If lit r clothes ure dingy and faded. Didn't she tell you so, just Saturday. Only mother' It Isn't necessary to go down ngiiiu. Mother won't mind the forgotten goodnight. You would feel hurt If you were forgotten, but mothers ate different somehow. They don't euro about little things. Aud so mother sits nlono. Mother goes without tho calico gown. Mothor doesn't care for rulllos Mother en joys weeding more than picnics. Mothor loves fuded gowns aud old- fashioned bonnots. Mother isu't sen-1 sltlve; sho doesn't care If sho Is forgot- j ten. So, too ofton, mothor has a corner lu the family, a corner nil her own and one from which she seldom movos, but from which sho scatters tho bless ings that ure hers to give. Too ofton, mother is "differeutsome how," nnd husbuud and children be lieve It, accept It until sho is gone. In too muuy homes mother Is a part of, and still not of, tho family circle Strange as it may seem, sons and daughters think that mother does not foel as thoy do, does not care as they care, is not hurt as they are hurt. But some day when their own hairs are grey and they have sons and daughters of their own and the mem ory of the sweet patient face of mother comes to them across tho years, then will they know that mother was not different. Then will they know that, though hor lips smiled, her heart bled. That though her tongue spoke lightly, hor soul was filled with dread. That though tho thoughtloss ouos believed that sho did not care, h-r heart was seamed with sours aud hor pillow was wet with secret weeping. Oh, remember that mother does care. That in her lovo sho wishes others to forget hor needs, she wishes others to go, to dress, to be gay. But she cares. Mother Is uot different, she fools, she Buffers, she can weep, she can be gay. Kansas City World. t Another Steamer Disaster, Whilo tho Slocum horror Is still fresh In tho minds of tho people, another similar case horrifies two contlonts. On Tuesday mornlug Juno 23, tho Danish steamer Norgo struck the rocky reof of the Islo of Rockull, .100 miles wost of tlie coast of Seotlaud and only twenty-seven persons out of tho seven-hundred on board survived. Women and chlldrou wore placed in tho lire-boats first, but tho suction created by Ui rapidly sinking vessol can-led six of the boats down before they left tho sido of tho Xorge. Others becamo unmunugeublo In tho heavy sea and wore foundered. Tlie crow mado no attempt to get in to the boats aud with tho exception of ono man, nil wont dowu with the ship. This followliig so closo on tho Soclum disaster bus shookod and horrified the thonsauds who read the daljy papers, aud will hold Us place in history as ono of tho worst fatuities tho world has evor known.

I can close a loan for you in three clays after taking your application, for these reasons: You do not have to wait and pay for a man to examine the land. My company has oceans of money. You do not wait for them to sell your loan in New York or London before getting the cash-. You can Pay Off at Any Time, without giving a day's notice of your inten tion so to do. All other companies require from 30 to 60 days notice on this point. I have so many different plans for making loans that some one is bound to suit. No one can give better rates. J. H. BAILEY.

The street parade at 12:10 o'clock was excellent and helped large ly to swell the crowd at the perfor mance in the tent. During the parade it was announced that owing to the rains onl7 one performance would be given, and those in attendance ex pressed their approbation in highest trnns. The performance was marred by a slight accideu to one of the lady actors. Which startled the audience cousiderably at the time. She was doing an aereal act wlih one of the men, and was suspended by a cord held in Lis teeth. In somo way he lost his bold and the woman was dropped to the ground below. She was picked up in an unconscious condtion, and for a time it was supposed that she was killed, but she afterward appeared in the concert little worse for her fail The circus left after the afternoon per formance.
