He Moved. but When He Tried to Find
His House He Failed.
An absentminded mar moved to this
city from q neighboring town last week.
He and his wife staid at o hotel while
they WIRE finding a house, but his bust
ness prevented the man from doing his
share Of the house hunting, and the
task fell, as if often does, upon the wife.
She ct last found a place which suited
her and she took her husband to see it.
It was satisfactory, and they came down
town, he to go back to his business aud
she to attend to the moving of their
goods from the railway car to the house.
Her task was soon accomplished, and in
o short time she had put away most Of
the things, settled q bedroom and got
the kitchen and dining room in order.
By $50 in the afternoon she and the
new girl had the first dinner in the new
fat all ready for the head of the house.
In the meantime the absentminded
husband was plodding through,the work
at his office. About the time that the
plates were being put on the table at his
home he began to feel the need of food,
and he locked up his Office and started
for the street car. When he reached the
street, he suddenly remembered that he
had not noticed the address Of his new
residence. He stood OIL the corner q long
while and tried to think what the name
of the street was. He consulted the di-
rectory, but none of the street names
was familiar-in fact, he had not been
in the city long enough to know any Of
the streets by name except that OH
which his Office was situated aud the
location of the hotel where he had staid
temporarily. He looked aimlessly at the
crowded street cars and envied the men
and women who knew where their
homes were. The pangs Of hunger were
increasing ~momentarily, but no sug.
gestion Of tho locality Of his home came
to him.
His mind on that point was q perfect
blank. He had eve forgotten to notice
in what style of building the fiat was
situated. Cursing his stupidity, lie

having fallen, she was afraid to venture

spent a sleepless night. In the morning

the office and threw herself weeping in-
to her husbands arms. That afternoon

"The REVENGE,

Spain and her sy~mpathizers are
moody and resentful because Of the
attitude Of England in the present
emergency, and her palpable Partially
to the United States. There Is scarcely
an attempt, on the part of the English
government, to conceal its sympathy
for the American cause, and as for the
English people and the English press,
they are outspokcn to a degree that is
particularly exasperating to Spain.
The Spaniards cannot understand why
England, a monarchy, like Spain, can
not suppress such expression Of public
sentiment as finds daily u~tterance in.
the English press. They do not under
stand that, though living under a
monarchy; the English people are as
independent invoice and press as even
those of the United States. England
is one kind of a monarchy and Spain
another, and a very different kind.
And why should England love Spain?
English people are still reading Tennly-
sons poem, tThe Revenge" and how

And u .pinnanc, like q futtcred bird, came flying

declared it suicide for six ships OF the

would not stay to fight. The lion
hearted old tar replied, speaking for
his men:
I should count myself tho coward It I left them, my
Lord Howard,
To those inqnisition dogs and the dcvildoms Of
Spain.
For tw~enty-four hours the Spanish
fleet hammered away at the grizzled
hero and his heroic handful of men,
and still the flag Of England hung at
the masthead. Wounded, himself, and
with scarcely an uninjured man on his
decks, old Sir Richard staggered.
amongst his crew and urged them on
until there was no longer hope Of even
life itself. And every man aboard
stood at his post like an, automaton,
and as one fell another took his place.
But Sir Richard cried in his English pride,
we have fought such a fight for n day and a night.
As may never 10 fought again,

We die -does 1t matter when?

Mexico the Spanish armada will find

"For Gods sake, sir, pardon the in
