1t may be assured, says the Chicago
Tribune, that the war win not be Il
long one, but ii will be long enough TO
accomplish our purpose-the freedom
OF Cuba and the eviction of Spain. It
will be long enough to teach Spain a
saiutary lesson in the twentieth CEN
,ury ideas of freedom, humanity and
progress. 1t will be long enough to
exhibit to the world the magnificent
resources of the United States and to
demonstrate that we can take care Of
ourselves and fight our battles unaided
in any conflict that may be forced upon
us.

Extraordinary Demand on the Naval
photographic Office Mt WASH
ington for Charts.

There has been so great demand
for charts from the naval photographic
Office at Washington that many of the
issues have become exhausted. An un-
usual number of the charts were fur
nished for naval purposes, issues being
made not only to new ships, but TO
naval militia and to the military sta
toned along the coast.
The demand for the charts outside
of the government has been in the last
two or three weeks unprecedented in
the history of the photographic office.
The principal charts called for have been
Cuba, Puerto Rico, the coast of Spain,
the Philippines, and ocean track charts,
which show distances between the parts
of the world by the usual sailing routes.
There were over 200 requests for this
chart after the last one had been dis
posed of.

Inventive genius has come to the aid
of the millions of people who have been
burning their fingers by holding on
too long to blazing matches. Upon the
market has been placed brand of
matches with the reverse end saturated
for a distance of half an inch with a
chemical compound, pink in color, and
impervious to fire. When the blaze
reaches the chemically treated wood it
goes out in jifry, leaving the fingers
unscorched. a Swedish inventor is the
originator of the improvement.

The expected rush to the Klondilse is
not materializing. Boats are reported
to be sailing from Seattle and San Fran
cisco almost empty, and the railroads
are still quarreling over the small traf-

that it is so, for even the comparatively
small number who have started are Suf-
fering greatly, and the hardships and
loss of life would be vastly increased,
even proportionately had there been
greater numbers to support.

The Three sisters Who Llsped.

solicitous about finding husbands for
them, was continually admonishing
them 10 hold their tongues. This Is

are going TO be there, and you must
not say a word, or they will learn that
you lisp, and won't care 10 make up
10 you"
They promised TO be silent, and
went to the quilting When they
reached the house they sat down and
quilted diligently in silence, and
nothing could induce them to take
| part in the conversation. At last the
eldest wanted the scissors, and tried
to make signs TO her next sister T.
pass them 10 her, but could not at
tract her attention. Losing patience
she stammered out:
