' It is believed that the rain was the heaviest in New Brit- ain in years. People coming from surrounding towns after the storm were surprised on hearing of the downpour, as Farm- ington and Plainville had no rain. UPHOLDS REDMOND, Dublin Corporation Refuses to De- mand Home Rule by September 17. Dubiin, Ire., July 156.—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 17.” By the same majority the corpor- ation adopted an amendment pressing confidence in John E. Red- mond tae Irish nationalist parliamen- tary leader to select the speediest means and the proper moment to bring /the settlement into operation. Though the movers of the original Tesolution protested that there was nothing inimical to Mr. Redmond in it, the majority scented mischief and a/suggestion of dissention in the na- tiona} ranks. A disorderly scene fol- lowed the announcement of the result of the veto. The city councilors had to be forcibly prévented from engag- ing in/fisticuffs. BUILDING NOTES.

Two orocks, on the ground, held mote of the lemonade, with which to . refill the bowl from e to tlt:a.‘ Their first customer was the fani- tor of the church across the -way. “We must not charge him more than a mickel.”” whispered Annette when | she saw him coming towards them. But after he had taken a long, deep draught. he put down a dime. and sald: “Keep the change; if there is any coming. That's a splendid thing vou're g” and he pointed to a sign that Johnny hac fastened to the awning. Dick Had done the lettering, ang it read: § HELP THE POOR BABIE Every Time You Bny a Glass of Lemonade You Give a Raby a Bottle of Rich Tresh Milk. “Won't you have some’ cherries?” asked Annmette, and she picked up the largest bunch she could find. “Thank you, miss.

Let's treat them.” “No; we musn’t do that” sald Besd; “it wouldn’t be business like.” -Then ;she mfied to them and asked how much money they had. “He's got two cents, and I've got three,” gaid the elder as they both turned around. “That. will be enough to buy two glasses, if you will promise not 3 tell the other boys,” said’ Bess, and she poured them out. \ “Oh, thank you,” sald the boy with three cents, as he placed the pennies on the table. “No, we won't tell.” As they were about to leave An- nette hed ouf a bunch of cherries. “Divide these between you,” she told them. 2 A farmer stopped his horses and climbed ‘down from a load of hay. “Golly! that’s good!” he exclaimed after drinking a glass. “Give me another, sis.” Then he took out a long leather bag and hunted among some coins until he found a quarter. “Give me’the change in cherries,” he said, handing the momey to Annette.

INO LAME PEACE 1S WANTED BY FRANCE 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- ‘%fl,{m history will show.” osterity will learn with stupefac- tion,” President Poincare continued, “that one day the German ambassa- dor, after vainly seeking to have him- self insulted publicly by the populace ot Parls, 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 gervice of savagery. Turning to the members of the French cabinet, he said: ““You interrogated your conscience in ‘serenity, knowing that at no mo- ment have we neglected a 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 fo draw the sword we have no right to put it back into the scabbard before the day when we shall have yinéicated 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 a lame peace ' should ever rest upon the debris of our cities?” At Mercy of Rivals. The president said that France un- ! der such a peace would be at the mercy @f her triumphant rivals, and added: “Theré is ng soldier, no citizen and ) monade Stands By Walt Gregg. that splendid!” sald Bess; “and the| Quite a crowd had gathered by this train trade hasn’t started yet.” For a half hour- business. -was dull; they sold only one bunch of cherries to & woman. Then a dozen men came up the street from the statlon and for fifteen minutes the two girls were kept very busy. When things be- came guiet again they counted up and tfound $1.65 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 4 o’clock they gave a small boy a nickel and a glass of lemonade to run to the nearest groc- €ry and buy them some lemons and Sugar. At 5 o’clock they counted $4.75, and they had spent thirty-five cents for supplies. While Bess was figuring how much the profit would be. after subtracting ‘what had been paid in the first place for lemons, sugar and ice, they heard e great racket. Something came banging and clattering ~along the pavement and\ 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 angq glasses and bowl were broken into hundreds of pleces. Rolling over the ruins of the table came a yellow-haired boy and he fin- ally landed with his face in the dirt and heels in air between Annette and Bess. Mixed up with what was left of the table and the broken crocks was something that looked as if it might once have been a little red wagon. Standing to one side, and calmly eating ‘cherrfes was a goat. from whose back dangled nleces of harness. On the tip of cne horn was a knot of white baby ribbon. Before the slsters could recover from their astpnishment another boy \Came running into the lot; or rather he came at a hop, skip and jump; and it was evident that one of his 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 to his feet. “No. not much,” he sald, shaking himself, as if to learn if all his bones were in place. “Say, Tom- my, did you ever see such a fool goat. He—" Then he stopped, for Annette had commenced to cry. “I think it's tée mean for anything, Danny Day, for you and that ugly animal to come along and upset our lemonade stand,” she said between her sobs. “Yes, and just as the last train is coming,” joined in Bess; ana she stamped her foot. ‘“Look at mother’s glassware, all smashed to pieces, and our money all scattered around.” ‘We’ll pick it up,” eald Danny neekly. “You’d better,” sald Bess; “and drive that old goat away from what's left of our cherries.” “Tommy, perhaps you had better lead Buttons down the street,” said the yellow-haired boy. “I'll find the pennies.” “Pennies!” exclaimed Bess scorn- fully. “They’re nickels, . dimes and quarters, and there’s mnearly five dol- lars of them.” 3 time and willing hands helped Dan- ny replace the money in the box, while others tried to repair the dam- age. - But one leg of the table had been Knocked off, and as for the oth- er things, a heap of broken glass and crockery told the story. “I'm ‘ terribly sorry,” ‘sald Danny when the little tin box was again re- stored to Bess. “Really, 1. just touched Buttons a teeney bit with the whip.” \ | But, before anything more could pe said Johnny drove up in the spring wagon and a moment later Dick ap- peared. coming from town. 4 “Chirk up,” he sald. “Accidents will happen. ) Danny didn't mean to upset your stand and I'll bet he feels as badly about it as you do.”” Then he helped his sisters into the rear seéat and lifted in what remained of the table and ‘the awning. Wheh they looked over their shoulders, after driving a half block, they gaw Tommy limping slowly down ‘the street, leading the goat, and Danny dragging the express wogan by the plece of a shaft. One wheel was off and the axle bumped on the pavement. That evening, while the family were Beated on the front veranda, a car- riage was driven up to the gate and 8 man jumpeq out and came up the walk. “It's JAr. Day.” sald father, and he roge to greet him. “Good evening,” said the visitor as he mounted the steps. “I'm the clalm agent of the Danny Day Goat Com- pany, Incorporated. and I have to make a.call like this on an average of once a week. If you will tell me the extemt of damage caused by the collision: this afternoon I'll be glad to settle.” Father laughed and invited Mr. Day to have a seat. “It was nothing worth mentioning,” he said. “The glass bowl was an inexpensive one and the goblets were plain. ,The next time I buy feed at your store you can throw in a peck of oats and we'll be square.” : “And mow, young ladies,” said Mr. Day, turning to Annette and Bess, “I am the bearer of an apology from the young man who caused the trouble. You. will have to excuse the spelling, jfor he would not let me read it.” and he took an envelope from his pocket. *The -girls went into the 1library, where there was a light, and this is ‘what they read: “I am orful sorry. So is Buttons. 8o {s: Tommy. We hop you aren’t hurt. We are much better. Buttons {8 sore. I whaled him.

It will probably be held early Oh, I'd just love, to play out here to- morrow,” said Annette. & * “You girls ecouldn’t climb up and down without tearing your dresses, said Johnny. “Couldn't we? I can climb as high as you can,” sald Bess. “Well, you might, but couldn't.” A { “If you'll let them play up here I'll fix it so that it will be easy for all of you,” sald Dick. “All right; if they’ll bring their stove up here.” Johnny had been very friendly with his sisters since Bess had been given a toy stove. He sald it wag the one thing the girls had that was sensible. Annette glad you.are not hurt and we are BOTTY We were so cross with you to- day. If you will help us next Sat- urday we are sure it will be a 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,” sald Bess. “those men add- ed a lot from their own pockets while they were picking up for us.” Part II.—The Second Stand. The tree on which grew the biggest and sweetest cherries in the county had four main branches that left the trunk eight feet from the ground, and the snaces between the branches were nearly equal. Johnny noticed this one morning and he saw how easy it would be to build a play- house up there. He asked his father if he might do =0. and was told that he could if he did not use any nails. “The ends of twn beams cah be wedged In,” he sald: “and I'll use nails only on the nther two. ‘That will make a foundation. across which we can fasten planks for a floor.” “But you will need a 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 nmice tree house than spoil it .11 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,” sald 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 verand: last summer.” “All right. You seem to have it pretty well planned. But don’t drive more than three or four nails into the tree.” Johnnie got Dick to help him put the foar 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. There was still an hour of daylight left and Dick built a broad ladder, which he securelv fastened to the tree. It stood well out from the trunk and Annette sald it was as easy to climb as were the steps lead- ing to the 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 doll's 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 a minute,” said Johnny, and he darted on a run for the house and soon returned with a 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.” In 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, hiz 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 a little pole that he had fastened to a branch near the roof. “Won’t these things get wet when it rains?” asked Annette. “Ill let down the curtains,” said her brother. “Don’t you see they are rigged up on all four sides?” About three o’clock that afternoom 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. 1 do belleve 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 epeaking-trumpet and shouted: “Hi! kids! Come over here. We're up in a tree.” - ples ‘of Violation of Property.
