An ancient resident Of Willowby,
whose conduct In one Of the battles Of
the Civil War had brought him under
suspicion Of cowardice, was naturally
indisposed to admit that he had
played any but a manly part.
Il didn't run away and stay till
twas all over, no such thing" he al
ways affirmed. II retreated In good
order; that was all. It was time
for retreating, IL ever there was one,
and accordingly ! used my Judgment

steadily at the hero Of the retreat,
''you say you retreated in good order,
but should like to ask you one thing:
About how fast did you got"
''WeN," said the other man, sur
prised into telling the unadorned
truth, If I'd been at home and going
after the doctor, reckon folks would
have thought somebody was pretty
sick" Youths Companion.

ply an Extra session of Congress.
NAsHINGroN. Sept. There is nt
disposition among officials here tc
question the correctness Of the state
ment in the dispatches from Hawaii &c
the effect that Minister Hatch hurried
20 Honolulu with the special purpose
OF securing annexation action by the
Hawaiian government in advance VI
the meeting Of our congress
There is no rule in diplomatic prac-
tice that would forbid Hawaii first act
ing upon the treaty, and the treaty IL
self does not indicate which govern
ment IS 10 take the initiative in the
ratification. While il is regarded az
desirable in the execution Of the policy
of President Mckinley toward Hawaii
as laid down in his message transmit
ing the treaty to congress-. last June,
that the document should be ready in
all respects for the action of the United
states senate at its next session. il is
not believed that the president has
any intention of calling a special ses-
sion for the purpose of ratification.
Indeed. considering the fact that il
the Hawaiian legislature acts with the
greatest promptness upon the treaty,
it a scarcely complete its action
and return the ratified convention to
Washington before October at the
earliest. it would appear to toe unnec.
essary to advance the session OF con
gress by such a short space of time az
would intervene between that date
and the date upon which congress
meets in regular session.
