United States and Spain.

1t is evident that the relations
now existing between the United
States and Spain are what diplo-
mats would term somewhat
straineu,o Though official inter
course continues courteous and Sc
rene, the Spanish press is bowling
for war, and our government is pre-
pairing for it. There are also Gle
ments in this country who wish for
war, but they are composed Of men
who want somebody else to do the
fighting They insist that the
Spanish authorities should be held
responsible for the blowing up Of
the United States battleship Maine
in Havana harbor, and that nothing
less than war can vindicate Amer
lean honor in the premises. No
amount Of apology and indemnity
will satisfy these fellows-they want
gore, but they do not wish to shed
any of it themselves.
Fortunately for the country the
men indicated are not in a position
to precipitate an armed conflict.
The American people, as a class, do
not desire war. They know from
sad experience the terrible conse-
quences involved therein. But,
should war be forced upon them
they Will rally to the defense Of
their flag, and all that it implies
with that patriotic and selfsacrihcing
devotion which has made this the
grand nation that it is.
While war with Spain is liable
soon to be declared, the conservative
course being pursued by President
Mckinley and his cabinet encour-
ages the hope that hostilities will be
avoided. If war shall come, how
ever, the president will be found
| faithful to his trust as The represent
alive Of American ideas.
THE Spanish general, Weyler,
who could not conquer 10000 Cuban
insurgents in Spanish territory, says
that he can whip the United States
with both hands tied behind him.
Though he may have a capacious
mouth, should he ever have occasion
to tackle the job he will find that he
has bitten off more than he can
chew.

Among these winding ways that I think
tho echoes of the Christmas chimes and
the hope that comes from the beautiful
Christmas story mean most when they
are heard. and so will tell it.
There was small promise of happier

New Year is the national pay day in

up at that time, and the man who can't
raise money enough to pay his debts
has to go into bankruptcy, says an ex-

creditor can enter the debtors house
aud take what he pleases if there is no

compromises to keep up the business

great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes before
the new year There are crowds also
who want to pawn other things in order
to get money to pay their debts. Pawn
brokers receive high rates Of interest,
in which they are protected by the gov

As every one in Greater New York
knew or ought to have known, when
Miss Peggy Weatherington decided to
do thing it was usually done.
Peggy was charming, but Peggy was
chemically unconventional. She had
habit of gently shocking Fifth avenue
on an average of once q month and
astounding her family about once a
week. Tho truth Of the matter was,
Peggy was simply full of animal spirits,
preferred living her own life and laugh
ed at her more dignified family and the
two dozen lovers who proposed on an
average Of once q month to her.
There was of course Donald Cotton,
whom she took little more seriously
and consequently tormented little
more assiduously. But as that young
man had been cursed with an income
and q taste for urban life Peggy made
no bones about expressing her good,
healthy contempt for the unillustrious
existence--i1o eked out. Clubmen, she
said wero always commonplace She
liked men wEo did things. She liked to
see heroism, she said, and manliness
and tho spirit OF adventure in her
friends All Of which mado tho good
natured and easy going Mr.. Donald Cot
ton very unhappy.
Each December Donald was in the
habit Of going up into Maine after
moose, and it occurred to him that a
few weeke' absence would not be bad
thing before asking Peggy for the nine
teenth time 10 marry him.
Before going up,in the woods no nat
urally had to soc Peggy to say goodbY,
and Peggy, OF course, was surrounded
by tho usual facetious circle when ho
called, Ho doggedly sat them out, how
ever, and got hold of Peggy's hand
somehow and told her he was going
away. fti-
"Where?" said Peggy, wincing for a
moment and then nonchalantly pulling
her hand away.
up in the Maine woods after
moose, '>said Donald.
"Oh. is that alll' said Peggy, recov-
ering herself, with fire scorn.
Moose hunting is awfully dangerous
work" said Donald, land something
might happen"
Dangerous for what, you silly boyi
Chilblains?" said the unfeeling Peggy.
"Chariie Brown was killed by bull
moose last winter. - said Donald cheer
fully.
Peggy laughed. why, l know a
girl, d little, dimpled, pink and white
girl who goes moose shooting. She's @
cousin of mine up in Montreal, and she
goes to Mattawa every winter And
what is worse, sir, on second thoughts
think shall go with her this Christ
mas and show you that moose shooting
isn't so dreadfully dangerous. E"
Peggy said Donald, trying ,tC
catch her.
"And what is more" said Peggy,
slipping away and getting on the Other
side of the table, "what is more, I'm
going to SEQ if can't get q bigger
moose than you. No, you needn't lool

and I've been shark fishing in Florida,
and walked through Mott street one
midnight, so moose don't count. You
90 up to Maine and I'll 60 TO Mattawa,
and we shall SEQ who'll bring home the
biggest horns"
Donald knew IL was madness, but he
also knew it was no use to expostulate.
He called at Peggy's house the next
evening, but Peggy was gone. A sense
OF loneliness stole over him as he
walked homo through the falling snow,
his face set with great purpose. He
would go after her Something might
happen to her. Surprising she got lost
in those northern woods-yes, no would
most certainly go after her.
He had already lost one day. By o
O'clock the next morning he was speed
ing toward Montreal fast as steam could
carry him. At Montreal he caught the
transcontinental night express and at
daybrealS stepped out at the little town
of Mattawa, on the hoadwaters Of the
Ottawa. Here no made inquiries about
the Montreal party.
They had passed through Mattawa
the day before, had picked up six In
dian guides there and gone north TO
Temisoamingue.
Two hours later a party of one, with
three guides, was on its way north. At
Gordon Greek the party of oIfa was told
that party of six Indians. white man
and two girls in blanket suits had tho
day before started out through the bush.
Donald followed up the trail. The
mercury went down below the zero
mark, TemiscamingB took on its first
ice, and snow fell often through the
night. In two days he came upon a
camp which had been broken up but a
few hours before. Later in the day they
struck high, rolling country. During
the afternoon they heard rifle shots, and
before dusk they came upon moose
tracks and we'll tramped yard. "
That night over the campfire Donald
remembered it was Christmas eve. a
Christmas alone in the northern Lauren
