This fact will clip the opportunity Of
good many windy orators who have
gained no little credit for kind of pa
triotism because of their defiant atti-

cease to believe, if the treaty Is ratified
that it would have been better to have
built up diplomatic school, and have
developed diplomatic virility. AS it
stands now We will have, in all proba-

ure diplomatic swords with the trained

That weening mother mourned her husband

That weeping mother mourned her husband
slain;
Bent DER her babe, her eye dissolved in
The big drops mingling with the milk he

What sad presage OF his future years
The child of misery baptized in tears
What could be more sweetly, sadly
pitiful. No wonder that Burns shed
tears when he looked at the print that
had been made of the scene. Why has
not some great artist taken the hint
and painted it to the life-the mother
seeking her dead husband among the
slain on battlefield and weeping over
her child as he nursed from her breast
-"the big drops mingling with the

an angel weep. 1t is enough to en-

that he could wear it as a gem next to

calls the tears of an old man "honor,
able dew that silvers down thy cheeks,
anh another poet describes man as "a
pendulum betwixt smile, and tear. .
So we will let these old soldiers weel
if they wish to. It will do them good,
for they are not tears of sorrow moi
grief. They are the yelling up anc
overflow of sacred memories. 1t is likt

An article in the Railroad Gazette

An article in the Railroad Gazette
asserts that the forcing Of civilization
upon China is dangerous business.
There is present profit, Of course, In
conquering the apathy of conserve
tive people and in bestowing upon
them, despite frantic opposition from
the Mandarin class, the benefits OF
Occidental inventions and methods,
but, asks the writer, ''has anyone ever
considered what will be the result
when o rejuvenated race, conscious OF
Its own numerical strength, armed
with our knowledge, should resent the
masterful spirit displayed by us?
What if China should follow in the
footsteps Of Japan? If she should de-
velop her untold hidden resources, as
simulate and apply our modern inven-
tionsl'and use the immense surplus
crested by economy to arm herself
against u.s." These questions have
been propounded before, and they in
innate dreadful things whose posi-
bility everybody admits with shivers
Of apprehension, which are, after all,
more or less enjoyable. People realize
instinctively that; once the Chinese
are civilized, they will be much like
the rest of the world, and vastly better
customers than they ore now. The
general appreciation Of this fact, even
by those who worry most over the
bugbear of competition between the
white and yellow races, is illustrated
by the writer whose words are quoted
above. His warning is followed by

and prospect In China, and by detailed
information as to how Americans Car

people of Newberry had erected to his

wounded and in the confusion in the
car another man was arrested for the
deed. When Crozier learned this he
gave himself up and was shot at sun

Crozier's fate until he read it in The
Constitution and he now begs for more

fate. Will some one who knows please
