THE ANGELIC HUSBAND.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as
smiling as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-well, he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn,
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's a really good and kind one
But the real angelic husband-oh, he's never
yet been born.
So the woman who is mated
To man who may be rated
AS pretty fair" should cherish him forever
and a day,
For the real angelic creature,
Perfect quite in every feature,
He has never been discovered, and he won 7

MEETS HIS EARNEST APPROVAL
President Harper of Chicago Univer-

President Harper of Chicago Un1yer-
sity Indorses the Message.
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Professor Her.
man Won Hoist of the University of
Chicago is being roundly scored by the
faculty for his recent expressions
against President Cleveland and his at
titude on the Venezuelan question. The
officers of the university fear Professor
Ven Holst's opinion will be interpreted
as an expression of the sentiment of
the university, which, in fact, is di-
rectly opposed to that of the German
student of American politics.
President Harper, Professor Judsen
and Secretary Goodspeed have given
cut signed statements, the following be-
ing President Harper's:
THE message and policy of President
Cleveland on the Venezuelan question
meet my earnest approval. Whether
the Monroe doctrine is or is not part
OF the system of international law is
immaterial. 1t is a part of the settled
foreign policy of the United States.
Whether the Presidents Interpretation
OF the doctrine in the present case can
be found in the phraseology of the mes
sage of 1923 is mere pettifogging. His
Interpretation is a logical deduction
from the spirit and expressed purpose
OF that message. The United States
cannot permit the forcible extension
of European territory on this conti-
nent. That must be resisted by all
means in our power

LOSS VERY GREAT.
Unprecedented Rise in the Mississippi

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-Since Thursday
night the Mississippi River at this point
has risen twenty-five feet, which is un-
precedented in the same length of time.
The boatmen and dwellers on the river
bank were taken unawares and the loss
is already very great. A number of
shanty boats were swept away. In one
of these, Sandy Hook, a dance was in
progress last night, and the revelers
were not aware of their peril until the
boat stuck in a tree. The American
bottoms are half under water and the
loss of stock is considerable.
At 6 o'clock tonight the gauge read
2412 feet, whereas Thursday morning it
was only 21a feet.
Meager reports, due to breaks in COM
munication, show that the flood covers

So many applications for accompany
ing the Red Cross on the proposed Ar
menian relief expedition are coming
from nurses. doctors and people of all
other vocations, and of all nationalities
nearly, that the following general reply
has been prepared:
''The Armenian National Red Cross
begs to acknowledge receipt of your es-
teemed communication on the subject
of undertaking to distribute relief in
Armenia, and your kind offer of ser
vice in the work In the beginning
must apologize for this informal and
general mode of replying to communi-
cation, which deserves a special and
personal response, but 1 trust that a
short statement of the circumstances
will be sufficient excuse for this method
of reply.
Since the first intimation of the prob
ability that this organization would be
asked to undertake the great and COM
plcated work of delivering Americas s
generosity to the destitute Turkish
subjects, offers Of service have poured
in upon us from all parts of the country
and in such numbers that it has become
an utter impossibility to give each a
separate answer and consideration,
hence the actual necessity of preparing
this circular answer.
''At the present time 1t is not impos-
sible to definitely judge of the number
of assistants that may be required, nor
of the character of help that will be
needed. The Red Cross having per-
formed active field service in a dozen
great disasters, has drawn into its
ranks a staff of faithful and diligent
helpers, upon whom it can call at a
days notice, and that staff for the pres
ent, seems all-sufficient.
Your kind offer has, however, been
duly placed on file, and should later
developments call for an increase of
the staff, it will give us much pleasure
to consider your letter further In the
meantime, in the midst of the labors of
preparation and voluminous cores
pondence, / can only thank you in be-
half of the Red Cross for your SYM
pathy, good words and sacrificing offer
| to help Faithfully yours,

ONE LIFE LOST.
A Bark Sunk in Collision and the Pilot
Drowned.

Drowned.
PLYMOUTH. Dec. 22.-The British
cruiser Blake has arrived here from
Chatham. She reports that while off
Portland, at o'clock this morning.
she passed a large steamship named
Berlin, which signaled that two of
her boats had been searching for three
hours for the British bark Willow
bank, bound for Glasgow, with which
vessel the Berlin had been in collision.
No trace of her could be found The
Blake afterwards saw an empty boat
belonging to the Willowbank. The Ber-
lin had a hole in her bow She proceed
ed up the channel. Those on board the
Blake could not say whether or not the
Berlin was the steamship of that name
belonging to the international Navi-
cation Company. This steamship sailed
from Antwerp for New York yesterday.
and was reported to have passed Dover
to-day.
SOUTHAMPTON, Dec OFT is
known that the vessel that was in col
lision with the Willowbank was the
International Company's steamship
Berlin. She passed Hurst Castle this
afternoon, bound for this port. She
had sails over her bows to keep the
water from entering the holds. A pilot
and two tugs have left here to assist
her in.
The Willowbank had crew of thirty
nine men. They were all saved by the
Berlin. which must have found them
afloat after speaking the Blake. The
only life lost was that of the pilot of
the Willowbank, who, went below to
get his clothes. The vessel went down
before he had time to again reach the
deck.

TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES.
England Trying in Every Way to En-
croach on Venezuela.


FORT WAYNE Qnd), Dec. %
George K. Terrence, prominent real
estate man of this city, spent two years
in Carthagena, one of the largest of the
Venezuelan cities. In 1874 and 1875 he
and his wife were permanent residents
of that republic and are very familiar
with the boundary question, now in dis
pute as the same misunderstanding
as to territorial boundaries were in con-
troversy at that time. In speaking of
the boundary dispute, Mr.. Terrence
said:
when 1 was a resident of Venezuela
in 1875 the boundary question was in
dispute then, and out of my own curl
osity 1 looked the question up. I talked
with both English and American Con-
suls, and also with GuZman Blanco,
who was then President of Venezuela,
but who is now a sort Of an exiled citi-
zen with a home in Paris. [ learned
that the territory of British Guiana was
originally a Dutch province, and ac-
cording to a treaty, or rather an agree
ment between Holland and Venezuela
in 1869, Venezuela extended as far west
as the east bank of ESSiquibo River. If
you look at the map now you will see
that Guiana, which is now a British
colony, extends far west of the Essi-
quibo River which was at one time it's
wost western boundary. The British
occupied Guiana, and in every way pos
sible have ever since endeayored to ex-
tend their province into Venezuelan
territory. The reason for extending the
province is that the British have dis
covered gold in the streams and noun
tains west of the Essequibo River. The
poor, indolent and half civilized natives
and Indian tribes have been driven
back from the frontier, not forced in a
warlike manner, but have been COM
PEELED to leave their lands because the
British would squat on them and claim
them few weeks later as their own
personal property. The ignorant ma
tives and the better informed residents
of Venezuela were alike thus driven
from territory they had called home for
years. These British subjects, in greed
for gold, did not stop in their encroach-
ments upon Venezuelan territory, but
as soon as new gold fields were dis
covered the natives were driven away
or dispossessed of their lands''

arose when the money was about to
be distributed pro rata among the
tribe as TO who was entitled to receive
1t. There were half-breeds, men who
married Cherokee women, full-blooded
Cherokees and other Indians who had
become citizens of the Cherokee Ma
ton.

liens is to receive $295. and if any
residue remains it is to be distributed

nent, in which all the counsel ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the COM

to the chilling influence of a financial
panic on people SO self-reliant and

from any supreme object of patriotic

Nothing in President Cleveland's ca
