Thrifty Weyler.

Weyler may be bad soldier, but he
is very talented business man. He,
through his agents, in the last two
years, bought IL 800 mules from the
United States and Mexico at about $50
a piece, and then sold them through
other agents to himself as represent
ing the Spanish government at 1928
apiece, making q clear profit of a9S on
q mule. With all allowance for trans
portation and feed, insurance and Ia
Dor bills, all of which were probably
paid by the poor government, the clear
profit must have been $780, 200. Equal
ly shrewd was his cattle syndicate. The
cattle concession was given to a
concern in which he is said to
have been the chief partner. They
bought cattle both alive and refrigerat-
ed, at cents pound and sold them at
Havana for 20 cents per pound. The
consumption in that city is over 1O0,-
600 pounds day the profit over $40. 600
and in 600 days the total profit would
be about S6, 100000. He is also said to
have had a large interest in the tobac-
CO monopoly, the flour trade, the po-
tato business, the wholesale cabbage
industry, the bottled beer commerce
and the milk routes of Havana. 1t is
no wonder, therefore, that the people
of Manila say he sent home sc. OO0, 900
and the people of Havana that he trans
mitted $S,000,O00 OF course. this was
not all for himself. He has many poor
friends in the cortes.-Exchange.

"Life'S Realities"

Following is the valedictory deliver
ed by Miss Mary Teresa Brick at thu
commencement of ST. Joseph's school
Wednesday night:
! This evening as the golden sunlight
was fading away amid grey silvery
clouds, and the sweet carols of the
birds were hushed into silence, earth
| filed our hearts with mingled feelings
| of admiration and regret. A feeling
| which prove the Inconsistency of all that
we prize in this world, q feeling and
fOretaste as it weres of life's stern
realities.
Our he arts know not rest and tonight
we fully realize that the period of our
sojourn amid the happy scenes of our
childhood is about to terminate. that
we have arrived at the shore from
which we are about to set sail on the
great expense bsfore us and We invol-
UNFAIRLY pause to contemplate the pic
ture which has SO often filled our
youthful imagination, to view life
through the vista that has so often
presented the most charming prospects,
for fancy decks her distant region,
with the most brightly varied hues.
But at the present, as we approach
the realiz alton of our day dreams of

our youthful hopes had robed the
future become somewhat sombered by
the mist of doubt and uncertainty as to
the reality of all that seemed to us most
precious.
Even with our limited experience
we can say most truly
that life is an alternate of calm
and tempest, of joy and sorrow. After
years oftrial perhaps many Of our early
wishes will remain unrealized, whilst
others of which we had little hope
will be fulfilled. because life is vast Y
different from our early picture of it,
Each of US has a journey to travel, a
mission to fulfil; on the road we will
meet life's realities. We.cau all finish
our journey to thebest OF our abilities
or retrace our steps and render our life

slant endeavor must be to stand pre-

PREVIOUS WARS.
What This Nation Has Gained.

By the first war, of cOurse-the war
which began in. 1876 and ended with
the treaty of peace with England in
17S3-the United States gained indie
pendence, "a place among the ma
tions, and an opportunity to try the
experiment auywhere-ona large scale
and under better conditions than had
been possible before that time. =
The quasi war which the United
States had with France on the ocean
in 1898. and in which, in a short time,
two French frigates and many French
privaters were captured and others
were defeated and escaped, showed, in
the words of President John Adams.
that 1--WE are not a degraded people,
humiliated under a colonial spirit of
fear and sense of inferiority." 1t end
ed French insults to American govern
men, and won for US as respectful treat
ment from France as that country ac-
corded any great nation of Europe.
Several times. particularly in lS03-5
and in 1915 the United States fought
the Barbary pirates of Morocco, AL
geria, Tunis, and ipoli-instead of
paying tribute to them, as Europe did.
We profted by this course, in self
respect and in money, and the world
conceded that the American plan was
better than the European by ultimate
ly following the American example.
These little wars with France and
the Barba Y pirates are skipped by
most of the American historians, but
they raised the United States at tie
time in the worlds respect, and should
be read and remembered by all Amer
leans.
The second great war of the United
States, that of 1Sl2-15 against England,
is ridiculed by some of the historians
because the questions which produced
tina wsr-the depredstions of Amer
lean commerce. the impressment of our
seamen into the British service, and the
instigation of British agents of attacks
by the Indians onsour frontiers-were
not mentioned in the treaty of peace

| indicate that milk should not be re
garded as q luxury, but as an ecOuomi.
cal article of diet which families Of
moderate income may freely purchase
as probable means OF improving the
character of the diet and of cheaper
ing the cost of the supply and animal
food.
Very interesting to the every day
consumer of milk is the suggestion
made by the department under the
head of Relative Cost of Nutrients.
The fact that milk varies in compost
ton shows at once that at an uniform
price per quart, there is wide vari-
alton in the cost of the nutrients to
the consumer. If milk cont lining four
per cent of fat is worth eight cents
per quart, milk containing 80 per
cent would, on the same basis. be
worth seven cents and ten cents
per quart. If the fat content standard
were adopted the consumer would be
protected in the sense that he would
receive just what he paid for, and the
producer of high quality product the
advantage of higher price, which
fairly belongs to him, because of the
greater cost of producing milk of
better quality. Inssmuch as this me-
thod of purchasing. milk by actual
composition. is now used in many
creameries with entire satisfaction
both to the seller and the buyer, it
should be entirely practicable under
present conditions for even the small
err producers and dealers to guarantee
product containing reasonably de-
finite content of fat. Instruments
are available for testing the fat CON
tent of milk which are inexpensive
and simple in operation, aud the chief
causes of vari stion in the quality of
milk under improved methods of feed
ing and management are we'll known
and under the control of the dairy
man. 1t remains for the more intel
ligent consumers and producers alike
to demand that the system be adopted.
