The Nan Behind The Cur.
ny 7. c. mARBAueu.


There's Il hero heard of seldom
In reports from fields of war.
He Is the man who really wins
The generals golden star;
de never wears shoulder strap.
Doesn't know hoy To run;
Hes the fellow with the kuapsack.
He's tue mau behind the gun.
He's the chap VINO pulls the trigger
When the foenan comes in sight
And he often stops bullet
La the thickest of the figat;
Always ready for tussle
In the shade or in the sun;
Yes. the man who wins the battle.
L. tue man behind the gun.
He Is very rarely mentioned
In the generals reports,
But he bears IL all in silence
As he keeps on taking forts;
When you hear Of deeds heroic
Underneath battles sun,
You can bet your bottom dollar
Twas the man behind the gun.
You ask who sank Montejo's feet
In far Manila bay.
Or who destroyed Csrvera's ships
That glorious summer day;
Go and read the answer written
Where the gallant deeds were done
Twas the fellow with the lanyard
Twas the man behind the gun.
There he stands mid smoke internal
Where the battle RACES hot,
Making shoulder straps for others
With himself we'll nigh forgot;
Overlooked by the officials
Every time is Private Dunn"
Yet the hero of the nation
Is the man behind the gun.
Still he goes on winning battles
Just as modest as can be,
Taking cities. storming ramparts,
Sinking fleets upon the sea;
All. he is my Dravest hero,
Gallantly his deeds are done;
And my hat to-day pm tipping
To the man behind the gun.

Lying as a Disease.

1.-THE liar is a much abused person."
said well known local physician to
reporter last week THE liar is not al
ways to blame, and if you have any
friends who are addicted to false repre-
sentatior of things advise them to con-
suit their doctors There is hope for n.
least one class of liars Medicine and
medical methods are applicable to those
who suddenly develop an aphorrence for
the truth and lie on all occasions, even
though the truth might better suit their
purpose. This has come to be thought
of only as species "a demcntia that is
ofttinles successfully treated.
1.-THE malicious liar is difficult prob
lem, for he knows that he is telling u
lie and there is no hope for him But
there are lots of people who just lie
naturally, without knowing what they
are saying or why they say it. The in
dividual often has nGthing whatever TO
accomplish by lying, but does SO just az
some people stutter. But, rs said be-
fore, he should not be blamed and frown-
ed upon His mind is unhealthy and his
nervous system is out of order. Rest,
tonic and good nursing often restore
these people to their normal self. and
then the love of rectitude returns. and
they are effectually cured of n very en-
barrassing habit - Washington Post

Franco and Uncle sam.

The French papers are busily collect
ing instances of what they consider
American unfriendliness toward France,
in order to bolster up their campaign Of
hostility against the United States
The Figaro recently published George
Bancroft's letter Of congratulation to
Bismarck on the result of the Franco
Prussian war. and follows it up with
several other incidents of a like nature.
among which is General Grants tele-
gram of congratulation to the emperor
of Germany in 1870. and tho fact that

FRENCH HUMOR.
NJ. Francisque sarccy and His Grotesqu.
Ehgy In the Carnival.

NJ. Franoisque sarcey and His Grotesque
Enigy In the Carnival.
1t is often said that Frenchmcn lack
humor and dread ridicule, but NJ Fran
cisque Sarcey has given an example of
that humorous good sense which defies
mockery. At carnival time i'll Paris it
is customary to exhibit on tho boule-
wards grotesquo cfligics of we'll known
public men. A modest stranger called
on M. Sarcey TO tell him that his image
was to figure in tie procession.
"Very good :" said NJ Sarcey. "What
can i do for your"
We'll, If you would be so kind as to
lend us some of your veritable garments,
they would make the likeness all tho
stronger.
''No doubt" responded tho critic
blandly. I'm that cupboard you will
find several hats
''Oh, the veritable hat will not dol
You sec, your head mean the head OK
the eifigy-is enormous.
Tires bien. Take coat, then"
Dressed in the veritable coat, the Sar-
cey dummy was an immense success. 1t
however, for IA man to aid and abet the
caricature of himself that NJ Sarcey
has volunteered an explanation, which
is n delicious bit of humor. Lamar
tine" he remarks, would not havo
consented to lend his coat for such
purpose. He was a poet with sensitive
soul. So was Victor Hugo But what
would you? We cannot all be Lamar
tines and Hugos Why should we poor
journalists, who have no feelings to
speak of. deny ourselves to the populnce
when we can contribute to their harm
less amusement? Besides. they may not
always think it worth their while to
notice us.
IAN agreeable trifler came to mo tho
other day and asked my permission for
the use of my name in burlesque, I
gave it cheerfully. This may be tho
last time, said he. What do you
mean?' asked Well. you czs going

MIR. HILL SUBMITS FIGURES.
Senator Davis Thinks They Have
Great Rearing Upon Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-James J. Hill
called upon the senate committee on foreign
relations today and submitted 70 Senator
Davis certain statements respecting the
freight shipments to China and Japan. via
the Northern transportation lines and their
steamship connections during the years Is 10
and 1897, which Senator Davis thinks have an
important bearing upon the Hawaiian arnex-
alton treaty and our Oriental commerce.
The senator says the figures show specially
the great interest OF the cotton states in the
situation and enforce the argument in favor
Of the annexation Of Hawaii from a com
mercial standpoint
Commenting upon the figures Senator Davis
said
They disclose some very remarkable facts
The tonnage over these lines from Texas Is
equal TO the total from Pennsylvania and
Ohio. OF the manufactured cotton goods 10 -
Coo tons came from the Southern states and
nothing from New England. Mr.. Hills sta p
ment demonstrates clearly the great interest
OF the United States In the Asiatic trade and
IN changes that may occur through European
Intervention in Chinese commerce
These represent only the exports Of the
Puget Sound to the Orient via these lines
Not pound OF cotton or sheetings was car
rted by these companies from New England
These expectations Of cotton and sheetings
from the Southern states constituted about p
per cent Of the entire expectation and they
are rapidly growing. The great trouble with
the Increase OF this trade IS that fact OF
the want OF shipping 70 carry the amount
that Is pressing upon IL and which can easily

coast.

JURIST NOT TO BE BLUFFED.
Threatening Letters Sent to the
Judge Presiding Over the Trial
of Sheriff Martin

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Feb. S.-Be-
fore the trial of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies was resumed today. Judge
Woodward stated that he had received
an anonymous letter stating that If he
did not do certain things something
would happen, and a threat was made
The judge said: The man who wrote
this will probably hear what I have
to say, and 1 want 10 tell him that he
is a scoundrel and a coward and thai
no such dishonorable means will in any
way affect my Judgment"
Evan Jones, the chief OF police Of
West Hazleton, testified that the strik-
ers reached West Hazleton on the af-
ternoon of the shooting and there met
the sheriff and the deputies. They
carried a flag and talked rather loud,
but they had no arms and made no
disturbance.
The testimony OF the other witnesses
examined today was along the same
line relating to the scenes at the place
Of disturbance and showing that the
strikers were unarmed.
Counsel for the defense claimed that
District Attorney Martin was merely
taking up time in asking each witness
If the strikers were armed.
VIII you admit It?'' asked Martin
No, sir; we admit nothing"
Then we will go ahead and prove
it"
Go on" said Palmer, at will take
you seven years"
