WASHINGTON LETTER
From our regular CORES ponfout
WAgUt~uTps, n 4 Nav 81 u

wAsHivaTo.. n. c.. May y. 1897
One of the best things of President
Mckinley is that he never goes off
half-cocked. He always knows when
he starts just where he wants to 90.
When he sent that message to con
gre5s asking that $4,000 be appropri-
| ated for the relief of destitute Amer
! lean citizens in Cuba he went as far
rs he desires to go in that direction
at present; and he was not affected
| by threats of senators to side track
| the tariff bill, if the Cuban belliger-
ency resolution was not adopted.
! While this has been going on Presi-
dent Mckinley pursued the even
tenor Of his way. He has more real
| sympathy for Cuba than some of
those who have been making blood
and thunder speeches in congress, as
will in due time be seen. He is look =
ing forward to something a great
| deal better than the recognition of
the belligerency Of the Cubans, and
when the proper time in his judg-
ment, shall arrive, he will act, and
bis action will be in keeping with
the man, firm, resOlutc, and above all
thoroughly American. He doesn't
believe in doing sensational things,
nor in being SO hasty that important
consequences are overlooked With
the destitute Americans in Cuba pro-
vided for, there is no occasion for
haste in any further action towards
Cuba, while there is every reason for
haste in getting the tariff bill, which
will be taken up in the senate this
week, enacted into Il law. The first
duty OF congress aud the government
Is to help our own people; then we
can devote some time to helping the
distressed and oppressed elsewhere.
Representative WILDER, oC n. Y,
who has been studying and work ing
on the subject for II long time, thinks
a method has been found that will
make it impossible for limitations to
ne sold in English markets rs genu-
inc American cheese. Mr.. ". A.
Mcknight, member of the Liver
pool and Manchester chamber of
commerce, has been in this country
working in conjunction with Repre-
sentative WILDER, and he promises to
aid in suppressing the sale Of imita-
tiou American goods and the c0use-
quent extension of the sale of the
genuine, on his side of the Atlantic.
Secretaries Gage and Wilson are
thoroughly in favor of this project,
and the commissioner of internal
revenue has already gived the noces-
sary orders to government officers 4

The student Of natural history who
INDUCES in solitary woodland rambles
has OCCASIONAL experiences which are
more pleasant in remembrance than in
actual occurrence, writes friend to
the Youths Companion, as an intro
duction to the story Of an adventure
which befell him in Western Maine a
few years ago:
| was out one afternoon, during a
prolonged drought, hunting ferns In
deep wood. Toward night 1t suddenly
grew dark. and mutterings of thun-
der, with few drops of ran, told me
that heavy shower was imminent.
At that moment, by great good luck, as
| thought, my eye fell upon big hol-
low log.
glance within by the light Of
match told me that | could crawl in.
side and escape a drenching. mo-
ment later was worming myself with
in the log, feet foremost and arms
pressed close to my side. 1t was
close fit, but patience carried the day.
Scarcely was | safe inside when the
rain came down in torrents, and as |
lay listening to the downpour and tie
wind among the trees and the rum
blings of heavy thunder, l congratu-
lated myself on having secured so snug
a shelter.
| had had long tramp and was very
tired, and although my position was
not altogether comfortable, fell
asleep. How long slept do not know,
but | was awakened by a snirp pain
in my head and a sense of cramp In
my whole body. 1t was intensely dark,
and the rain was still falling. The pain
in my head was due to tn, dropping
of water on my forehead; the bodily
discomfort was due to my cramped POI
sition in the log.

walked again from the same causes
as before; the pain in my head was IN
tolerable. and it seemed impossible to
get 1t where those maddening drops
would not drip ON 1t somewhere, and
wherever they fell they seemed Ike
sharp iron boring into the skull.
Anything IS better than this, l
thought. and decided to crawl out or
the log. To my CONSERVATION l found
it impossible to do so. The orince
through which l had entered had been
just large enough to admit my body,
and the wood. shrunken from long alb
sence of moisture, had swollen by the
rain TO such an extent that was
