DECIDED AT LAST.

Congress has at last passed the
senate resolution without the Tur-
pie amendment which practically,
is q declaration OF war, and war is
iminent unless Spain backs down
and agrees to withdraw her forces
from the island, which from all
appearances she does not intend to
do without a fight.
That antic patton Of what was
likely to take place has taken place,
and Congress is now Of one mind
and agrees practically on declas
ton of war.
Within forty.elgbt hours the
presidents ultimatum will be in the
hands of tho Spanl-h government
and Spain will be given a fixed
tlne WI. hin which to make her aus
swer and in the event that she re-
fuses to evacuate, Uncle Sam 2
dogs of war will be put oE her Trail
and the cha kept up until she is
freed and Cuba freed.

why They Were Divided.

"On one OCCASION" remarked the able
journalist, Il was down in the mount
aims of Tennessee, where everything is
primitive, and on Sunday I attended a
Baptist church, where, much to my sur
prise, the women were seated on one
side of the house and the men on the
other I had never seen anything of
the kind before, and after the services
We're over I spoke about it to one Of the
members, whom I knew quite we'll.
" It's allus been done that away he
said in explanation.
But Why?' I persisted.
Sos to worship God accordin' to our
own consciences. as the Constitution
pervides.
But sitting on opposite sides of the
church doesn't make any difference,
does it?'
Don't it?' he replied with emphasis.
We'll. hit jis' do. Do you reckon that
a man kin set over thar alongside Nv
his wife whar she kin nudge him with
her elbow about every onc't in two min
utes ef he begins to swag-I say, kin
man do that under them circumstances
and worship God accordin to his own
conscience? Well, not much, nOWhar;
an pertickler not in this here neck Nv
woods.
The explanation and the supporting
argument carried conviction beyond ali
controversy. and I had no more to say
in opposition. ."-Washingt Star.

But old Glory is still afioat
On our every ship and boat
And Wen make the Spanish Dons fly be-

But before it sails away,
Let us bow our heads and pray
To the mighty God of Battles to watch

Then hurrah for our flag.
HurPah for our flag.
Thrice hurrah for the brave boy that
