She tells of the eventful Christ

Their comical experiences in

 Range News: One important end which will be subserved by the new brand book is the means which it will afford of detecting maverick brands. According te the new stock law only recorded brands will be regarded as prima facie evidence of ownership. This provision was framed, not for the purpose of contiscating the cattle of honest cieizens, but with a view of heading off the stock thieves. Until the brand book is completed, it will be an excellent plan for district at- torneys and others interested in the prosecution of stock thieves to ascer- tain from the Live Stock Sanitary Board whether the brand used by the supposed thieves is on record.

A Public Debt Not a Public Blessing.

Extract from speech of Senator Cock
rell delivered in the U. S. Senate May
27th, 1898:
when the war of 1872 began, fortu-
nately for us the charter of the Bank OF
the United States had expired OH the sd
of March, 1871, and we were not ham
pered by national debt. Immediately
we began the issue oftreasury notes-not
full legal tender, but treasury notes,
bearing interest, running one, two and
three years; and that policy was pursued
during the entire war of 1872 to 1914.
The last issue was made just before the
Bank of the United States was rechartered,
on April 10, 1916.
"What was the result of that !? We
kept the national indebtedness within
our control. 1t was payable at short
time. The treasury notes were re-issued
from time to time by new acts, and IN
1896 the entire Indebtedness Of the United
States was extinguished.
"The charter OF the Bank of the Urited
States expired March 1896. At once we
began the issue of treasury notes. We
pursued that policy up to 1861. We issued
no long time bonds. We went through
the Mexican war; and between 1885 and
July I, 1860, the largest aggregate indebt-
edness at any time was sos, 600, 900 OH the
1st of July, 1851. We kept the whole
indebtedness within our own control i'll
| that way
81 do not believe that public debt is a
public blessing. say it is a curse of any
nation. 1t is burden, grievous burden,
for fanny people to bear; and long time
bonds ought never to be issued by any
nation which has a government of the
people, for the people, and by the people.
IA monarchy like England, upheld by
their moneyed aristocracy, must defer to
that money power and give them bonds
never payable, and aunuities, lasting as
long as the government lasts, to wed
them to the maintenance of the govern
ment. But here the bonds will not go
into the hands of the sovereigns of this
country, the great masses of the people.
"The great masses of the people will
never own the bonds of the United States.
The bonds will go into the hands of for
eign bondholders and rich American
bankers, and they will be a burden upon
the mass of the people for ages and ages

The War.

War news this week, as formerly, is
very conflicting, the stories of one day
being generally contradicted or ignored
by the news, or rather reports, of the next.
A furious bombardment of the forts
about the entrance of the harbor of San
tiago took place on Monday, but the
amount of damage done is quite prob
lenatical. The news by the press boats
reports great deal; the Spanish report
very little.
Again large bodies of troops are re-
ported embarking at Tampa on Tuesday
and 20 sail Oh Wednesday for Santiago.
Similar reports have often been sent out,
without much foundation.
Porto Rico is also to soon have an ex-
pidition sent against it, SO says runlor.
The browning bit of heroism of the war
has been the sinking of the Merrimac in
the channel of the harbor of Santiago by
Lieutenant Hobson- and his daredevil
crew of seven men. This feat was so
much on the order of Don Quixote that
it charmed the Spanish Admiral, and he
sent flag Of truce to the American ships
to inform Admiral Sampson that the crew
we're prisoners and only two of them
slightly injured. The wisdom of such a
daredevil feat is not easy to see, since, il
the Spaniards wanted their vessels out,
they could easily blow the sunken wreck
to pieces with dynamite, and if the
Americans should want to enter the har.
Dor the wreck i'll the channel will effect
ually keep them out. The Hobson Mer.
rimac exploit was very similar to the
charge ofthe Light Brigade at Balaklava,
grand but not war. All that is lacking tc
complete the act is an exchange of pris.
oners and Tennyson to embalm the act
i'll immortal verse.
The monitor, Monterey, sailed for
Manila from San Francisco Oh Tuesday,
and will reach the Philippines in about
six weeks or two months. A coinpre.
hensive view of the field seems to indicate
that Spain, in the end, is to loose not only
Cuba, but Porto Rico and the Philippines
too.
Rumors of negotiations for peac:
are beginning to take definite shape
and as SOON as the Americans &C.
conplish something of importance in
Cuba, negotiations will be set OIL foot by
the continental powers forcing Spain to
sue for peace.

The Cigarette Disease or F." Habit"

l have thought for some time 1 would
write an article on the use of cigarettes,
and the danger to those who use them.
1t is a well-knowu fact that this habit
(so-called) commences i'll most cases with
boys in their first year i'll school, say from
five to ten years old. The disease, for SO
it is, is set up at this early age. and the
first thing the use of cigarettes does for
the little fellow is to make thief and
liar out of him. But you say, how is that !?
Why does it do that? III this way He
becomes diseased-poisoned With nico-
tine; so much so that the use of cigarettes
guardian does not know this, and when
it becomes known TO them that the child
is in the "habit," they at once promptly
forbid their use, and stop it at once, or
that is what they think. But the child
does not stop-he can't do it. He is
victim to disease that is far worse and
more damaging TO his health, morals and
happiness than whiskey or opium.
Now right here is where many who
have not studied this disease or ''habit"
will differ with me, but let us see. l said
this "habit' makes thief and liar of
the boy. 1t does ii in this way: The
parent or guardian forbids the further use
of cigarettes, but the boy now must have
them, and have them he will. You will
not give him the money to buy them, so
in his distress he must either steal them
or steal the money to buy them. You
ask him if he has quit, and he tells you
yes. But he has not, but continues to lie
and steal. After a sh ort whilr his little
conscience has been so scared and abused
that he can lie or steal and think nothing
of it.
The result is, he loses self-respect as
we'll as respect for others. Then he loses
interest i'll his studies, and before he is
more than halfgrown you have young
vagabond on your hands, and candidate
for the lunatic asylum, or the peniten-
tiary, or tramp. And why a tramp?
for the reason that he can't work. His
constitution is gone, his honor is gone
Nobody wants him around, and so he
goes out among his kind like the leper of
old. He is ruined-J. S. HILL in Med
