A WHOPPER.

Tie Baptist Record says that If those
who seem to think that the present
much-talked-of AngluAmerican ALI
ance don't amount to much will con-
slider they will find that at the present
moment the. British empire is fifty
three times the size Of France, fifty
two times that of Germany, three and
a half times that Of the United States
thrice the size of Europe, with ire
bic the population OF all the Rus
sias. 1t extends over 1900, 900 square
miles, occupies one-6fth Of the globe,
containing one fifth of the human race
or 100000 900 people; embraces four
continents, 10000 islands, 500 prOmOn-
tories and 1000 rivers. Then let him
add to that the area and population
Of The United States-the mere mat
ter of near 5000, 900 square miles and
more than 75,000,0W people, with
more material wealth than any three
of the nations of the earth. After
that let him think again.

EFFUSINE PATRIOTISM.

Speaking Of certain resolutions
adopted by the Hamilton Club Of
Chicago, the Mobile Herald says:
The sentiment contained in this
preamble and resolution is patriotic
and proper, and is much appreciated
in the South, but ON good friends in
Chicago must pardon lis for saying
that they seem to think that the pa
tri0tiSln of this section is largely
elusive. In fact, we see no necessity
for playing "DiXic" whenever the
"Star Spanglcd Banner" is played, or
for playing the Star Spangled Ban
ncr" whenever Dixie is given. Tie
''Star Spangled Banner" is not regard.
ed by the Southern people as a North
crn air, but IA national air, written by
il patriotic Marylander, dedicated to
the service Of il new born republic,
and speaking in every note Of national
growth, glory and progress. 1t be.
longs to us just as much as it does to
the rest Of the country, and it is not
necessary, so as to make us properly
enthusiastic, to supplement- it with
the inspiring and lively strains Of
'Dixie."
AS for 'Dixle" the North has pur-
chased a half interest in it, and the
price paid is good will and a common
Amcricanlsm, coin that should pass
current all over the country.
In this connection We take occasion
to express III belief that some people
think that patriotism is principally a
matter Of flags, tri-colored cmblems
and bands of music. These are valua-
BILE ~adjunctS to patriotism, but love
OF country is something nobler than
any ELUSIVE demonstration. IT. leads
to civic duty performed in times Of
peace and war, to IA soldiers duty per-
formed whenever the call is made up
on to a love for all that is noble, high
minded, and true, and an aversion to
all that is dcceitful, narrow.minded
and selfish.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

Florida Times-Union.
"Return with your shield or upon
IT," said the Spartan mother, 81 would
not exchange my dead husband for
any other woman's living one" said
the Roman matr0n widowed in the
defense of her country. But the no.
bifity of women lives forever, and not
less touching and exalted is the fol-
lowing incident of the present time.
AS the Florida troops were leaving
for Tampa a mother said:
"My son you need not come back to
me II you allow the Yankee boys to
lead you in the charge; never falter
where another can be found to go.
Show them that you are made OF the
stuff as your father, the Southern
blood of the new generation is as true
as that they tried in the years that
are gone. Fold this little flag on your
heart, and remember the injunction
OF your old mOther-remembcr ii when
you pray and when you fight, God
bless you, and goodbye"
Nations that have such mothers
win battles and make history.

An Uniuue Game.

For q simple amusement try the tele-
graph game. Provide as many tele-
graph blanks as there are guests. They
will give them for the asking at any
telegraph office. Select the initial letter
of ten words; for instance, I, II, Il, A.
Il, e, 1, w, s, G. Hand each guest n
telegraph blank, and have him or her
write thereon n message to you, using
these letters for the beginning Of each
of the ten words. Collect the kilograms
and read aloud. If letters not common
iy used in making words, like z, X. Y,
etc, be selected the greater ingenuity
Is required to write the telegram. For
instance, using the letters above for an
Illustration, one could write:

A certain Eastern company that
some time ago was anxious to purchase
a silver-lead mine, found itself In n
state of uncertainty. What seemed to
be really attractive mine was found
to be In the market and negotiations
for It's purchase were entered upon.
The result Of these negotiations is re
ported by the Spokane Miner and Elec
trician.
AS the ore assayed we'll, md every
thing looked propitous, n mining ex.
pert was sent to examine the mine. His
report was favorable. In fact, 1t was too
favorable. He certified that the ore
was there In large quantities, and that
1t was extremely valuable. His un.
qualified praise aroused the suspicion
Of the would-be purchasers. If the
mine was indeed so valuable, why was
the price so low2 The company deter
mined tn investigate more closely.
At this point a well-known mining
man of Spokane recommended that q
certain rough-and-read genius, man
who had graduated from no college,
buouiu w bcIt " iOOk ut tue
"You can depend on his judgment"
said the miningman, 'and he will tell
you nothing but the truth. You had
better trust to his report, which. In MI
probability, will be short and very
much to the point"
The advice was followed. and tIe
event showed the wisdom Of the cd
wiser. As he had predicted. the report
was short and full Of pith. 1t read sub
stantially as follows:
Dear Sirs-I have made an examina
tion Of the Cliff Dwellers' mine. and re
port that the ore Is there as ripresinted
that II assays high. that II Is there II
plenty, but to get your supplies In nnt
your ore out you will need pack-thrair

The mine was rejected on the ground
Of inaccessibility.
