How to Make a.Good Boy.

The following suggestive incident
appears in an exchange.
"They all put brandy in Them"
said one.
"They all don't. My mother has
never put a drop of brandy into her
mince pies since the day Bob said
he could taste the brandy and 1t
tasted good. Mother said then it
was wrong and she never would be
guilty of it again. And if mother
says thing is wrong, you may be
sure it is wrong; for what mother
knows she knows"
"How about mince pies ? Are you
sure she knows how to make pies
good" and a laugh went up from q
group of girls gathered around the
register of the recitation.room, eating
their lunch.
But some of them WINGED little
when back were tossed these words
eff she dOsen't, she knows how tC
make boy good and isn't boy
worth more than a mince pie?"

Wanted-a boy that is manly and Just,
One that you feel you may honor and trust,
Who cheerfully shoulders what lite to him

It's sunshine and pleasure, or troublesome

Whose eye meets yOur own with no shadow
Of fear,
No vile on the face that is open and clear;
Straightforward in purpose and ready to

For "a bird in the hand is worth two in the

Who scornfully refuses a something of gain
II it brings to another sorrow or pain;
Willing to hold the right ever dear,
Patient, unheeding the scoif or the jeer,
Doing his all, with true heart elate.
Wanted, that boy, whatever his state.

The Itata Must Be Captured on Other
Charges.
WASHINGTON, May IS.-There is no
longer tenable claim that the Itata may
be seized as pirate.
1t is recognized that she can be recap
tured for violation Of the customs laws:
disregard of the court and perhaps for
kidnapping. but any assumption that she
is pirate is completely negatived by the
doctrine laid down by the late Francis
wharton, formerly Solicitor of the De-
partment of State, and an eminent author
ity on international law
This doctrine was accepted by Secre-
tary Bayard and laid down at the time of
the Colombian rebellion and the Panama
trouble. The Colombian Government
had declared the insurgent vessels to be
pirates as the Chilean Government has
done, but the Secretary held:
The Government of the United States
cannot regard as piratical vessels manned
by parties in arms against the Govern
ment OF Colombia, when such vessels are
passing to and fro between ports held by
such insurgents, or when attacking ports

States, early in the period of the struggle,
surrendered the position that those man

I Onuer international law, the United
States of Colombia cannot sooner or
later, do otherwise than accept the same
view. But, however this may be, no
neutral power can acquiesce in the posi-
ton now taken by the Colombian Gov
ernment."
Another fact which may be of interest,
in view of the expected arrival of the
ltata at a Mexican port, probably
Acapulco, is that she cannot stay there
Under the practices of international law
the Mexican Government could not re-
fuse to protect her. But she could not re-
main in port more than twenty-four
hours, as to do so would subject her to
the charge of using the port as base of
operations against a friendly Govern
ment. So, if the vessel reaches Acapulco
before the Charleston, the latter vessel
would have simply to wait outside the
port for twenty-four hours to get an op-
portunity to take the Itata and her stores,
providing these have not in the mean
time been transferred to the Esmeralda.
