MENT.
Quartermaster General Richardson, who
has had charge Of the supplies furnished
by the State, made the following state
ment concerning the complaints of the SOL
diers last evening:
"All prices for the supplies furnished by
the State were set by the board of survey
composed of army officers. If we asked too
to cut down the amount. Their approval is
practically the approval of the general
government.
Now, the State was under no obligation
whatever to furnish shoes or socks. But in

remembered, too, that the uniforms of the
National Guard do not belong to the men,
bought when used in the United States
service.
There were several boxes sent to the
Statehouse for which the quartermaster of
the One-hundred- and fifty-seventh Regi-
ment was supposed to be responsible Per-

to examine them. When they We're placed
in the hands of the regimental quartermas-

did not account for them he would have to
pay for them. Therefore, they could only
be opened in the quartermaster's presence.

derstanding on the part of the soldiers"
Governor Mount said: "A great many

DR.. CRANES EPIGRAMS.

The following are some of the cpl
grams from a recent sermon by DIR.
Frank Crane, of Trinity church, Chi
cago:
This Is the commercial parable, suited
to this commercial age.
The kingdom Of heaven Is strictly
business.
1t is a significant fact that Christ's
kingdom is not likened to a warrior, or
a poet, or a philosopher, or a slave, but
to business man.
Gods saving a man is not turning
him into a righteous machine, but de-
veloping him into a righteous son.
Jesus view of His work was as of a
business. At the start He said: II
must be about my Fathers business"
At the close: 1T Is finished"
The banana peddler handles person.
ally his goods: Mr.. Armour sits in his
office surrounded by papers and clerks,
while his trains and ships are at the
other end t the earth: so the little
man lives by sight. the big man faith:
and religious faith is simply business
sense carried to perfection, reaching to
eternity.
Enterprise and boldness, not caution
ligion.
The wiser the man the more he trusts
a general law against all appearances
The higher kinds Of life are occupied
with probabilities; only low forms deal
in certainties: the bank president at
$4,000 a year balances probabilities,
while the bank clerk at $50 a month
keeps the books with mathematic pre-
cision.
Dealing with probabilities develops
man, makes sagacity, judgment, pru-
dence and foresight; while dealing with
certsinties reduces a man to an autom-
atom. Thus the kingdom of heaven Is
a certainty only because of its over
whelming probability, not because of
its geometrical certainty, because it's
object is our development.
The business mans success Is the sue
cess of the whole community, he helps
his clerks, his customers, the manu-
facturer, the laborers, the miners, the
farmers. 1t is a truer philanthropy
to run an honest business house than
to dole out aims: the one encourages
workers, the other beggars.
The true individual salvation becomes
the solution of the whole community,
saving the family, the state, politics,
commerce, literature, ALL
Selfshness and unselfishness seem to
be parallel lines that never meet: but
they meet in the kingdom of heaven: in
Il you cannot discern between selfish
ness and unselfishness.

the wind of history blows. Dreyfus has
no more to do with the moral bearings
of the case than the woman Of the Lee
vite. whose body was cut In twelve
pieces and sent to twelve tribes of Is
rael, had to do with the destruction of
Gibeah. Dreyfus is the occasion: hui
man being is the cause. Thus sturdy
and honest NJ Scheurer- Kestner boldly
stands up to denounce the injustice of
his trial. Thus M. lola takes up his
pen to defy the sword. A man, just an
ordinary man, of whose like the world
has upward of one billion; a man,
small, weak, unknown. comparatively
friendless; a man has been possibly
wronged. Hence all this. For is not a
man also a god? Is not the poorest and
lowest of men also a son of the great
God? Have we not spilled much blood
to make constitutions, magma chartas,
bills OF rights and such paper indica-
tions of convictions that are not at all
pa Per?

ism can no longer ride a cock-horse

ut was interesting to notice the way
in which the Indians looked upon early
settlers around here" said the old
timer, as he lapsed into a reminiscent
mood, recently, says the Kansas City
Journal. each white family as it ar
rived and set about the task of making

vorably or otherwise, by these orig
inal inhabitants very much as a new
conner nowadays is talked about and
estimated by the good people Of any
little town in which he makes his ap-
pearance. To be sure, the Indians
standards were little bit peculiar, but
they applied them in much the same
spirit of egotism that we do our own.
For example, when we started west
my mother, who was preeminently a
sensible woman, and who refrained
from doing things only on good
and sufficient reason, soon saw
that the long full skirts in vogue at the
time had little to recommend them
from an migrants point of view, and
adopted a garment consisting of me-
dunn short skirt and substantial panta-
lettes, which she found quite suitable
and persisted in wearing through sew
eral subsequent changes of fashion.
Now, a few days after my father had
completed the cabin which was our
first home in Kansas, band Of In
dams from neighboring camp called
on US for purposes of inspection, as
| have already said was their custom,
and, in cidentally, to trade for-or bet
ter, beg-any article among our be-
longings which might strike their
fancy. My mother was, as usual,
dressed in her utility garment, and
this soon caught the eyes. of the In
dians, who Immediately, amid great
jabbering of admiration, nominated
her the white squaw,' and from that
time on showed our household many
marks of esteem-a preferment which
had it's drawbacks"

the Eyes.
War Is being made in some quarters
on the abominable blackboards i'm use
in public schools very generally, says
the Chicago Evening News. tits awell'
esta blished fact that the worst color on
the eyes is black, and even tailors, when
mems clothing used to be made by hand,
were accustomed to charge more for
maxi ng a suit of black clothes than any
other, for the reason that the color was
co mu oh more injurious to the eyes.
Experiments i'm the color of so-called
blackboards have been made with q
view of determining what color is least
injurious to the eyes of children, and II
has been proved that some shade OF
cream white, dead surface of soft,
mellow tint, varied in its degree OF
whitenes s to suit the quality and guam
tity of light, is preferable to all or any
other. The crayons to be used on such
boards should be of a clear, slky-blue
color, a canary orange of clear, dark
green.
In schools where this modern board
has been introduced in place of the old
black surface, with it's white chalk,
there has been not only an improve
ment in the eyes of the children who
have had to use such boards, but great
increase in the amount Of attention
they have given to exercises on the
board, by reason of the greater ease
with which their interest could be re.

accomplished it seems almost criminal

THE POLITICIAN.

THE POLITICIAN.
1t Is with words as with men, 1t goes
Ill with them when they fall into bad
company; politician is a noble title,
but its reputation has been hurt by
ignoble men.
Jesus was more Of politician, In the
true sense of the word, than He was q
martyr.
What makes a politician is policy:
that is, everything he does is worth
while.
Policy Is doing things because they
pay, which Is very good, provided they
pay others and God as well as our
selves.
Politics Is bad only as love and re-
ligion are bad-when selfish.
A reform needs nothing as much as
wise politicians; for with them a mat
ter of state is something to be done,
not something to talk about and to
die for.
No profession needs clean and hon
orable young men so much as the bust
ness of politics.
More real good is done in committee
rooms than by orators; and more harm.
Jesus never hunted trouble; 1t hunted
him.
Nowadays we doubt the sincerity of
a reformer who has no chip on his
shoulder.
Jesus wisdom was as apparent In the
things He did not attempt as in what
He did.
There is often more patriotism in
keeping your mouth shut than in talk
ing.
There may be as much intelligent de-
votion to principle in letting evil alone
as in attempting to remove it before
it's time.
Reforms are like apples; they are not
good green.

THE ARTIST.

The genius of an artist lies In his
power to interpret, not to copy.
The photographer is not an artist ex-
cept as he puts into his pictures some
thing not photography-him
Jesus great genius lay in His percep-
ton that man is always and every
where a child of God.
Jesus parallels are like line drawings,
bringing out the visage of God by a
few deft strokes.
Some painter, being asked how he
mixed his paints, said, with brains;"
but the true artist must also mix in
his blood.
We know when genius writes; he dips
his pen into his heart.
There is but one truth-it Is God; we
are true only as we are like Him.
All great art Is like true religion, the
imitation Of God.

WAR NEWS SUMMARY.
Friday.


The Philippines are to be aban-
doned by Spain without another
blow. Admiral Camara returned to
Suez, having gone no further away
than just outside the three-mile limit
and re-entered the canal to return
to Spain. If it was never intended
that he should go to the Phillip
pines, the Spanish Government has
paid stiff price for the bluff. The
return of CamaTa's fleet will sim
plify the situation in the Pacific.
Its only effect on the expedition
planned for Commodore Watson
may be the addition of one or two
more ships to Watson's squadron.
Maj .-Gen. Shafter reported to the

American Men and ships Pronounced

The newspapers all pay glowing
tributes to the American Navy. The
Saturday Review says:
ut is impossible not to feel a
certain pride in these achievements
of men of our own race. Every Eng
lishman, too, will remember that it
was the possession of This same
quality, the fine craftsmanship
which the Americans displayed,
which gave us victories both on land
and on sea, from Crecy to the Grim
ca, and something peculiar and no.
BILE happened in this fight which
showed in far higher way the kin
ship between the two peoples:
Don't cheer shouted Captain
Philip, the poor devils are dying
at seems to us that this express
sion of tender, sympathetic human
ity is just as fine as the Kiss me,

The Spectator, in long article on
the same subject says:
THE first thought of all English
man is that the American fleet did
its work splendidly. The whole per-
Torrance of Admiral Simpsons fleet
was in accordance with the best
traditions of AnglO-SaXon navies,
and every Englishman has read of
their dolngs with flush Of pride.
There was the same old, hard
pounding "a the Elizabethan sea
dogs used; the same curious mix
ture Of steadiness, daring, GOODNESS
and reckless dash.
The battle shows that the Ameri'
can Navy is a most efficient fight

lions whelps are made. They, how
ever, did not know it on the Cont
