American Annexation.

Shall we take steps looking to re-
tirement or must we walk in the
ways made familiar by those who
established the zone of our national
predominance across the continent,
took Florida, and, touching the
tropical climate of the southern
seas, moved north and west into the
arctic regions, SO that from the east
ern border of Maine to the western
islands of the Aleutian group we
have in the summer days IS hours
of sunshine On the land covered by
our flags Shall we not go on where
the honors and the glories await us
as the power that is competent, if
we will, to speak for half the globe?
Once the Alleghanies were our west
ern horizon. but we have crossed
the space that divided the discover
les of Columbus from the lands of
his dreams, where the east and the
west are blended. like sea and sky,
in the boundless blue of the waters
ana the air. snail we retreat when
our colors stream and shine in the
zenith Of the arch under which is
our planets paths
The objection is made that we
neither have nor can have, under
our system of states, anything but
states and territories. We, the peo-
pie of the United States, however,
ordained constitution to establish
more perfect Union, . and that
very Union was triumphant through
the conquest Of states whose states
men had made the Union greater
than the states, and the continuance
of the policy of annexation only in
vites us to be masterful in peace. -

A Battle Incident.

A man who had been a private in
an Illinois cavalry regiment told Of
an incident of the battle of Jones'
boro. He and his comrades had been
dism ounted in the edge of thick
woods, and dismounted cavalry are
the hardest of troops to rout In
front Of them was an open corn
field quarter of mile wide with
woods upon its farther side. Re-en-
forced by a half dozen companies of
infantry, possibly 1900 Federals lay
perdu. In blunder, company of
Confederates, not more than 80 men
all told, was ordered to attack. With
a yell the handful swept out Of the
opposite woods and charged across
the field. At a distance Of 100 yards
a single volley disposed of them.
Those that were left on their feet
wheeled and scampered back to
their position. One, however, re-
manned. He was the captain in com
mand and had been far in advance
of his men. When he found himself
deserted, he stopped and folded his
arms. Sixty yards away, alone in
the wide field, the summer sun
pouring down upon the silver gray
of his uniform, he stared stanchly
into the eyes of 1900 foemen. He
was only beardless boy, and the
newness of his clothing showed that
he was but a few days from home.
All down the long line of Federals
ran a cry: Don't shoot him! Don't
shoot him'' He gave the military
salute and marched steadily back to
his men. Not gun was fired. -

THE HOROSCOPE.
A Free Show Provided Nightly at Ex-
Senator McPherson's Abattoir.

"You may talk about your horo-
scopes, your Kaleidoscope and XII
Microscopes. said the man from
Hackensack, "but I've discovered
the greatest scope in the country. 1t
is horoscope. Probably you never
heard of it. Lots Of people never
heard of it, but if they want to see
it in action let them go over to ex-
Senator McPherson's abattoir in
Jersey City any fine evening, and
they'll see it in perfect working Or
der.
"You know the ex-senator is in
terested in one of the biggest hog
slaughtering establishments in this
country. They do such big bust
ness there that the butchers are
compelled to work night and day.
They work by gaslight at night. If
you are passing the abattoir, you
will see realistic shadow pictures of
hog killing. While the hogs are be-
ing killed the reflections of the kill
ing are thrown back against the
white wall and again reflected out
on the street, SO that, while you
can't see the butchers actually kill
ing the hogs, you can see all the
motions they make and all the mo-
lions the hogs make while being
killed.
"This is what 1 call the hogo-
scope. You first see the hog pin
Toned with a rope and then dragged
along on the hosting derrick. Then
you see the butcher approach him
with his knife and jab him in tie
throat. You see the hog wriggling,
and then you see the dressers come
along and divide him up into sec
tons. and you are SO fascinated with
these shadowgraphs that you stand
there open mouthed before the abat-
toir window watching the same
thing occur over again. The shad-
owgraphs grow on you until finally
you discover that you have been
standing there an hour and have
seen pictures Of the killing of half
hundred hogs. The horoscope is
SO attractive that the next night you
bring friend around, and he takes
in the free show. People whom ]
have brought there have become SC
infatuated with the horoscope shad-
owgraphs that now they may be
seen spending two hours nightly op.
posite the abattoir windows.
1t reminds me Of the pasteboard
animals in the shooting galleries.
The figure Of the hog comes up out
of obscurity and passes before youl
view, disappearing minute after il
first appears. Within that minute
you see the hog butcher make the
plunge with his knife; you see the
hog wriggle and then disappear aft
or being quartered. By the time
that you see the shadowgraph o.
the dressing process you see another
picture of another hog coming VI
out of obscurity, and the thing
seems to be continuous. 1t is un
doubtedly the greatest of all thu
scopes because it is SO infatuatins
and SO true to life, but while 70,
are looking at the show you do no
get a real glimpse of the hog, no!
do you get real life view of thu
butcher. You are simply treated t,
a shadowgraph, but it rivets you II
the spot, and if you have no partic
ular business to look after you ar
liable to spend couple of hours
with the horoscope. New Yorl
