The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1898-06-25

kissing his hand to the motionless hg-
ure in the window and muttering In
coherent words Of love, he turned at
the officers gruff command to move
on, and wandered unsteadily toward his
home.
When Jules Lemaitre awoke late the
next morning, he found himself pos
sessed of both an aching head and an
Unsuitable thirst. One by one the events
OF the night came back TO him; the
bachelor dinner; the stories which his
friends had told; the many toasts they
drank, among them his own, TO a
mysterious Annette"
Annettel a realization of what had
happened flashed over him; he trem-
bled and closed his eyes, lest he might
wake and find It all a dream. Then,
suddenly came 10 HIM remembrance
of the ring-and yet he dared not look
to see IL IL really were there. Slowly,
with his left hand he clasped his right;
slowly felt ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, to-
ward his little hnger--and then he ut
tered wild cry and sat upright, for
there, sparkling in the sunlight which
fell across the bed, he felt and saw
the ringl
with trembling hands the little
Frenchman made a hasty toilet and
hurried out into the busting city to the
Twenty-third street shop. Yes, there
she stood in her accustomed place. Her
smile was just a. sweet, as from be-
meath her long, dark lashes she looked
down on Jules, but not by so much as
culver Of an eyelid did she show sign
Of life. With brain whirling in confu-
sion and distress, the little Frenchman
betool1 himself TO the restaurant, with
er he had taken her few short hours
before; but no one recognized him
there nor understood the timid ques-
tions that he asked. Heavy-hearted,
he retreated 10 small cafe, and sat
before table gazing, obliVious Of time,
upon the diamond ring, his breakfast
untasted and the Courier DIES E'tats

GUARDS THE MONEY.
The Presidents Economy In Provid-
ing Troops for the War
with spain.

President McKinley's determination
TO use the men asked for on the second
call in filing up the regiments already
at the front, was inspired by spirit OF
economy, which cannot fail TO call forth
the commentator OF every one. In
stead Of forming 70 new regiments with
the $4,000 men asked for on the second
call. the equivalent 10 SO regiments will
be absorbed in filing up the regiments
now in the field to the maximum, and
the large sum which would have been
paid 70 the field and staf officers OF
those SO regiments will be saved. The
sum saved for each regiment will be:
Colonel $500
Lieutenant colonel ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, 5000
seventeen officers, with the pay OF
captain. which Is 81 500 80. $1,000
talon adjutants, at 81, 500. .......... 1900
Twelve second lleutenants, at 81, 400. $500
ghs su.sJo s,,roeons ii 100 400
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 500
From these figures we find that the
action OF President Mckinley will an
nually save the people Of the United
States $4,773.6O0 The president had the
opportunity OF providing large num-
Der Of Offices TO be filled by appointment,
but the question Of economy was upper
most In his mind, and he cut down the
annual expenses nearly $5,000,000 by
this one act. And yet some people and
editors are bowling about politics In
the war with Spain"
President McKlnley's action in filling
up the regiments, not only saves several
million dollars for each year the men
will be In service, but II adds TO She eff
ficiency Of the troops. Twelve hundred
men can be as easily handled in regi-
meni as 500, and the larger regiment can
make a much better showing for itself
IN battle. President Mckinley is hand
ling this war with Spain with wonder
full foresight and wisdom, and when IL is
all over those who have been the most
bitter in opposing his methods will be
the most enthusiastic in his praise. IL
was so with Lincoln, and IL will be so
with McKinley.-Iowa State Register.

proud of the manner in which the ma
