OF the old Commodore. Mr.. Vanderbilts father,

The MAN with a Country.

Salt tears have been shed over the sorrows of
the solitary imam without country" but who
sympathizes with the man who has a country?
AbsIractly every citizen of this broad land may
be said to have country, but comparatively
few of lis are employed in holding it up, and
only those can be said to know what burden
a country really is. The man with a country is
not, to outward appearances, bowed down with
weight of woe, but the strain upon him is ire
mendous, as he is ready and willing at all times
20 testify. That he keeps such a smiling and
prosperous front under such difficulties is truly
admirable. The man with a country is fire.

boys, in war time. He tells how he was .all

his associates that the breaking of collar but
ton or sudden giving way of necktie will leave
their companion in fragments attheir feet. This
patriot, however, is no more determined than
the others who snuffed battle affair off,
the who was member of
the home guards, that he will never, no never
desert his country. The government, it is
true. kindly furnishes a salary and loaiug

but will assure you that he could make enough
more money at his profession or In business, and
that he thinks of resigning, but he never does.
He sacrifices himself and remains in office. The
duties of man with country are not multi
farious. His active services may be said to con-
sist in keeping some other man out of his place,
but in doing this he saves his beloved country
from the demnition bow-wows. In the intervals
he may be seen holding the government building
down with the chair or table provided for that
purpose, or in swapping craftsmanship with
other gifted patriots. Admlring outsiders may
always know that the nation is being saved
when the men with a country are seen to stroke
their boards and converse in whispers. 1t is not,

Who is the unreasonable person that says
newspapers are dull nowl If impassioned de-
scriptions of twinebinder contests do not thrill
the most apathetic reader, let him feast his soul
on the base ball record. Though as a nation we
are said to take our pleasure sadly, we also take

be sure. It's devotees enjoy it far more when,
like dancing in the orient, some other fellow
takes the exercise. After the enthusiastic anna

much the same relation to ocean travel that the
fast United States express trains do to railway
traffic. The vessels, three of which have already
been ordered, will be constructed chiefly with q
view to speed, and will be used for carrying first
