OUGHT TO LIVE A CENTURY.
If-It Were Not for the Habit of Worry
ing Life and Happiness Would
Be Longer.

Almost al persons die of disappoint Z
ment. personal, mental, or bodily toll
CT accident. The passions kill men
some times even suddenly. The com
mon expression "choked with rage
has little exaggeration in it, for even
though not always suddenly fatal
strong passions shorten life, says the
Boston Herald.
Strong-bodied men often die young,
and weak men usually live longer than
the strong. for the strong use their
strength and the weak have hardly any
10 use-the latter take care of them
selves, the former do not.
As ii is with the body, so 1t is with
the mind and the temper-the strong
are apt to break, or. like the candle,
run: the weak burn out.
Man, of all animals, is one that sell
dom comes up to the average. He ought
to live 100 years, according to the
physiological law, but instead of that
he scarcely reaches an average of four
times the growing period. The rea-
son is obvious-man is not only the
most irregular and most incorporate,
but the most laborious and hardwork-
ing of all animals.
He is almost the most irritable, and
there is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secretly
feels. that more than any other ami
NAL, man cherishes wrath to keep it
warm. and consumes himself with the
fire of his own reflections.

THE FLAG AT SANTIAGO.
A Suddenly Arising breeze Made II
Wave Vigorously Gen.
Garcfa's Wishes.

Rev. DR.. Joseph Krauskopf, rabbi Of
Temple Keneseth Israel, who returned
to the city recently from his trip to
Cuba ON relief commission work, said
that one reason for Skaters disagree
ment with Garcia was that the latter
wanted the Cuban flag raised beside the
stars and stripes over Santiago.
DR.. Krauskopf, during his stay in
Cuba, came into personal contact with
Gems. Shafter and Wheeler, Col. Roose-
velt and other prominent actors in the
war drama. From Gen. Shafter he
learned the true reasons of Garcia's at
titude after the fall of Santiago.
"Gen. Garcia" he says, when invited
to be present at the entrance of the
victorious army into Santiago, made
two conditions on which his acceptance
of the invitation depended. One was
that the Cuban flag be raised together
with the American, and the other that
the Spanish officials be superseded.
Gen. Shafter replied that he had no
authority to recognize the. symbol OF
the Cuban republic in any way, and
that the supersedure of the Spanish
officials would be contrary TO the re-
ceived practice in the case of captured
towns. The matter gave rise to heat
cd controversy, which ended in Garcia
separating himseh from the American
forces and withdrawing into the In
terror. The supposition at American
headquarters was that he meant to
withdraw himself from the territory ul-
der American control and try his own
luck at conquest"
DIR. Krauskopf said that it was re-
markable that on the day the Ameri-
cans entered Santiago, although not
Ieaf had stirred or hardly breath of
air was felt during the day, no sooner
was the American flag unfurled than a
strong breeze sprang up and the ma
tional colors waved gloriously In the
wind, amid the frantic cheers OF the
multitude.-Philadelphia Press.
