A Sentiment.

II Spain had not made ample apology
for tho outrages committed BY the BARGE
Iona students against tho United States
consulate and the American dag. she
would have had ON her hands war with
the United States in an incredibly short
space Of time. The American people
have endured for year the unfriendli.
ness and often jeering Of the Spanish
press toward this country. The papers
might talk their fill, might scold. rave
and insult; what did we care?. But the
day the United States senate recon-.
mended the recognition Of belligerent
rights for Cuba the Spaniards did some
thing more. They tore the American flag
to pieces and trailed it in the dust of
the streets. Then the American blood
was stirred as hardly anything else could
have stirfed it.
At Newark. N. j., Eva Booth, the
temporary commander Of the Salvation
Army in America, attempted to speak at
the Army headquarters. She was greeted
with storms of Kisses and such shouts Of
derision that she turned deadly pale and
tears came to her eyes. She would not
have been permitted to speak only for o
sudden inspiration which came to her,
She drew from the folds Of her dress q
small American flag and waved it back
and forth above her head. The throng
broke into cheer on cheer for the stars
and stripes. Then it was silent long
enough to permit Miss Booth to say her
say.
Only sentiment, this enthusiasm for
IS stripes of alternate red and white,
with 45 stars spangling blue field in
it's UPPER left hand corner. Yet SO long
as this glorious sentiment lives, so long
will the American republic maintain it.

Don't permit dust to remain upon
the foliage Of house plants to choke
them. Most plants should be washed as
often as every fortnight Never use wa

wash is tobacco water. All plants thrive
