kinds of heroism in this war. There is
nothing romantic about seasickness.

make life a burden for any man not a

a great many people In this world who
could be induced to face death much more
easily than they could be persuaded to
make themselves intensely uncomfortable.

Army Leaders who Lead.

Minneapolis Times.
The impressive feature of the recent
fighting In the jungle near Santiago was
the mortality among the officers. That is
the secret of Anglo-Saxon fighting. The
officers not only command, they lead and
they fight. They ask their men to con-
front no danger and incur no risk they
do not share with them. They not only
encourage the dash which is the price Of
victory, but they set the example for It..

Green has lent the city 81. 900, 900 until Oc-
tober next at the rate of 2 per cent per

have had to pay 3 per cent to anybody
else. Obviously Mrs. Hetty Green is a
scab capitalist. and police protection will

Natural Equality Among Americans

Louisville Dispatch.
The American soldier. whether he be the
society exquisite or the cowboy of the
plains, will display those qualities which
have shed luster on American arms wher-
ever the American sword has been drawn.
The lesson of this is that there is after
all but little difference In men. II dis
pels the contention of a set OF theorists
who maintain that classes are necessary
and natural. With equal opportunities.
under similar conditions, there is after all
an approximate natural equality.

To strike Where 1t viii Count.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The idea of making an American dem
onstration on the coast of Spain Is said
to have arisen from the seeming necessi-
ty o teaching the Spanish people where
they stand. Carrying the war at once to
the other side of the Atlantic is not a new
notion. 1t has been profoundly consid-
cred for q long time by thoughtful men.
During the administrator OF President
Grant there was a remote possibility OF
war with Spain. and Grants purpose IL
believed to have been to make an attack
at the heart of the Spanish nation at
once.

Aid From the Cubans.

kansas CITY btaT,
The Cubans should improve vastly as
soldiers through contact with the army
and navy of the United States. They
should receive not only arms, clothing and
ammunition. but ideas of discipline. and
that steadiness which marks soldiers who
know they are on the stronger side and
who ght to win. The degree of wisdom
possessed by our own officers In Cuba will
be manifested by the amount of assist
ance they are successful in securing from
the Cubans.

Barbar,,y Of the Steam whistle.

In early days, when clocks were rare
and watches were rarer. steam whistles
served a purpose. In these days, when the
poorest man has a watch and clocks are
everywhere, when the noon hour, as In

whistles are simply a barbarity. They
are a nuisance to the well and an infic-

was probablv sent late last nirht.

me. None Of these messages
threw amy light upon the cause of
the Maine disaster and in fact the
officers IN the navy department
have about resigned themselves
to the belief that nothing definite
on this point can be known for
several days. The reason for this
belief is that the operations of the
divers upon the wreck of the
Maine are being confined at pres
ent to the recovery of the bodies
of the dead, still cntanglcd in the
wreck and the recovery of the
valuablcs, neither of which can
be neglected, while the other

l'artridgc's Almanac.

a pleasant story is told Of Par
fridge, the one time celebrated
English almanac maker. Travel
ing In the country, he stopped at
an inn for dinner, and afterward
prepared to resume his journey.
The hostler advised him to stay
where he was as it would certainly
rain. Nonsense, said Partridge,
and proceeded on his way
He had not gone far, however,
when, sure enough, heavy show
er OF rain descended. Struck bv
the mans prediction, Partridge
rode back and was received by
the hostler with a grim. The al
manac maker offered him half a
crown on condition that he told
how he knew it was going to rain.
"Well, the truth is, s;r, that We
have an almanac here, called Par
tridge's almanac, and TIE fellow
is such a notorious liar that when
ever he promises a fine day we al
ways know it will be the opposite.
Now, today, your honor, is set
down asa fine day in the almanac. "

Didn't Like The Anthem.

Fifty years ago the Presby-
terian of Scotland insisted that
the service Of praise should be ex-
pressed by singing to plain, sim
pie tunes the Psalms of David in
'Rouse's Version or in metre. ;
This custom, which many regard
ed as a precept of worship, ex
plains the following anecdote:
An old Scotch lady who had no
relish for modern church music
was expressing her dislike to the
singing of an anthem in her own
church one day, when neighbor
said:
why, that is very old anthem
David sang that anthem to Saul.
To this the old lady replied,
'Weel, weel! moo for the first
time understan' why Saul threw
his javelin at David when the lad
sang for him.

The facts OF the latter became

FAINT three days old. CAPTAIN
Roscboro was informed of the
fact. He was like the man in
"Wang' with 'the elephant on
his hands. He did not know
what to think or what to do. The
child belonged to no one on board.
Several of the passengers recalled
having seen an old man board the
train at GrecnvilIe, S. c., and
shove the basket under the seat.
They thought nothing of the mat
ter until the little cry from the
basket had told them that there
was a human life in the basket.

board and Captain Roscboro asked
him to look after the chill. lie

however, for the little thing died
before the train reached Atlanta.
1t seemed to have been druggcd.
After death it got perfectly black
in the face. The doctor did all
he could to save 1t, but the mis-
chief had been done before the
child was put ON the train. The
little body was taken to Atlanta
and given in charge of the police.
