 When man refuses to sign a note as security he says he would like to- but that he has promised his wife never to sign another security note.
 We have noticed with regret that there is no demand for a great many things the people have to sell For example, in the spring there is no de- mand for radishes. The fact is unfor- tunate, for radishes are easily raised, and people could make money selling them, provided the demand was brisk, and prices fairly remunerative. But there is a brisk demand for at least one article: ham bones. Keepers of restaurants say that they have twenty calls for ham bones where they have one to sell. A han bone sells for five cents, and colore& people are particu- larly fond Of them.

The Lieutenant took the Indian back
to Gen, Miles's camp, where 1t was
learned through the interpreter that he
had been sent out by one of the Apache
chiefs to say that the Indians were ready
to treat for peace. He was the only
Indian in that party who could speak a
word of English and all that he could say
was, "Oh, how love Jesus" which he
had learned from missionary. Hence
he was sent out to meet the white men,
and sitting himself in the desert growled
forth the few words he knew until Ord
came along.

SPAIN AND PEACE.

Spain is still long way from realizing
the utter hopelessness of her condition,
else her public men and her newspapers
would be talking about peace in very
different strain. Throughout the peace talk
OF all of them there now runs the assump-
ton that Spain is in condition to die
tate to = considerable extent the terms.
would appear simply as supplicants, not
telling us what they would be wiling to
concede for peace but appealing to our
magnanimity tosoffer them terms as little
hulniliating as possible. Spain is no
longer in a position to command or de-
mand anything. Her power on the sea
is practically extinguished. She has two
fighting ships left, but she might as we'll
have none for any effective service they
can render her. She has an army shut
up in Manila, awaiting, without the
slightest hope of relief, our demand for

ment, destined beyond all likelihood of
doubt, to become our prisoners of war in
less than a month. One of her armies in
Cuba has already laid down its arms,
while the other is cooped up in Havana
awaiting the surrender which Juust come
when we get re ady to move upon it. To
no one of these colonies can Spain send
an additional soldier, nor supplies of
any account. Though not yet actually in
our possession they are all at our mercy
without the slightest chance of rescue. In
short time an American squadron far
too powerful for her to resist will be
upon her coast, threatening her cities and
paralyzing her coastwise commerce. Yet
the Spanish government still talks Of the
concessions it would be willing to make
for peace, almost as if we were the party
whom peace would most benefit and who
ought to want it most. 1t is clear enough
to anybody but the Spaniards that while
Sagasta and his ministers cherish any
impression of this kind and are not fully
alive to the fact that Spain is powerless

go on despoiling her of her possessions

her toward suicide. We shall not take
the initiative in peace making. When
Spain asks US for our terms we shall give
them to her, and we hope that they will
be characterized by moderation, but she
| must ask us for our terms not attempt to
dictate terms to us as she now seems in
clined to do.

AN APACHE's ENGLISH TALK.
Sent Out to Make Treaty, with the
Chorus of a Hymn for Vocabulary,
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer
just at present the men most talked
about in Cincinnati are the officers of the
| Sixth Infantry who went down before
the awful rain of Spanish bullets at
Santiago and to many of their friends
| who were accustomed to meet them at the
Gibson House, which was the head
| quarters of the officers when on this side
OF the river, it seems hard to realize that
several of the best ones are dead. Lieut.
Ord's death has occasioned particular
regret He was the son of Gen. Ord of
the regular army, and wished to adopt
the profession of arms, but WAS unable to
get an appointment to West Point He
enlisted in the ranks and won his COM
mission in that way. AS cavalryman
he had great many adventures, serving
in number of Indian campaigns.
1t was when he was Sergeant and
was with Gen. Miles in the campaign
against Geronimo that he was detailed to
carry dispatches from Miles to one OF the
officers commanding body of troops that
had bean stationed miles away to head off
the Indians retreat. The assignments
meant that he must ride miles and miles
across the desert, and run chance OF
being caught by Apaches, but he seemed
delighted when he was selected. just as
sundown. oame he mounted his horse and
started on his dangerous mission. On.
on, on he rode until midnight over the
seemingly endless, arid track. Suddenly
he heard what he thought was human
voice; then ne thought it was only the
crunching of the sand as his horses hoofs
sank into it. Then he rode on a little
further, and still he thought he could
hear the voice. Stopping his horse he
dismounted and listened.
Sure enough it was a voice. Taking off
the blue flannel army shirt that he wore
he tore it into strips, with which he
wrapped the hoofS of his horse in order
that the sand would not crunch when the
animal walked. and started cautiously
toward the sound, which was barely
audi BILE and nearly mile away. Leading
his horse, and with his carbine ready for
instant action, he started ahead, and as
he came nearer he could understand that
the owner of the voice was singing.
Working nearer and nearer he YVES able to
surprise when his ear caught the words
of "Oh, how l love Jesus" Out in the
middle of the desert, miles and miles
from any white man, the words Of the
song located to him clear and strong.
At trst he thought that he had the fever
that comes to men when they ride too
far without rest over the sand. but there
could be no nistaking the song; it was
no delusion, 1T was real Ord at once
suspected some Apache ruse, and, hob
bling his horse, started to crawl toward
the spot where the song came from.
Throwing himself fat on his stomach he
! worked his way along behind cactus and
other bushes until he was within a short
distance of the spot. All the time the
singing kept up, but it WAS evident the
singer was not familiar with the song,
All that he sang were the few words Of
| the chorus, con, how l love Jesus" con-
tinually repeating them.
After crawling for more than an hour

The story that Admiral Camara's feet

1t is said that the Spanish government
is not pleased with the prospect of having
the troops. surrendered at Santiago sent
home. 1t would prefer that we should
take them, because we should then have

mora it is probable that it does not relish
the idea of having 90 00O men circulating
about Spain who have correct ideas of the
fighting qualities of American soldiers,
and Of our military and naval strength.

in advance we should have gone into
Santiago practically as it's agents, under
obligations to turn the city over to it to
governor more likely to sloot. Luckily

ourselves for the present, and TO promptly
suppress any attempt at interference on
the part of Cuban juntas.

THE PURlTANs COULD DRINK.
Anything but Water Went. but Rum Was
Their Especial Frvorite.

Our Puritan ancestors hardly imagined
that water was either healthful or a
sufficient beverage, if we may nudge from
some paragraphs in their letters and
diaries. Governor Bradford bitterly CON-
plains of the hardship of having to drink
water, as no beer or wine was to be had.
In 1929 an appeal was sent to the home
company for ministers. a "patent
under scale" that their legal status as
colonists might be clear and stable, and
also they want ''vyne Planters" wheat,
rye, barley, and also chop rootes y When
the answer to this appeal was sent by q
ship that was provisional for three
months it carried ''forty-fve tuns Of
beere," 1.-TWO casks of Malaga and
Canarie, y twenty gallons OF aqua vitae
(brandy), and for cooking, drinking, and
all, only six tuns of water" Rev. Mr..
Higginson, the first minister, in writing
back glowing account Of the attractions
of the country, said his health had been
benefited by the fine air, and he added:
Whereas my stomach could only digest
and did require such drinks as were both
strong and stale, now can and doe
oftentimes drinke New England water
varie WE'LL
One Wood wrote IL "The New Eng
lands Prospects that the country was
we'll watered, and with a water unlike
that to be found in England:
''Not SO sharpe, of fatty substance,
mr. IF iott ic thar oh
that there can be no better water in the
world, yet dare not prefer it to good
beere, as some have done. Those that
drink it be as healthful, fresh, and lustie
as they that drink beere."
Those hop roots must have fourished,
for as early as 1881 the people of the
colony had passed a law for putting
drunkards in the stocks, and Greenhouses
multiplied, and an ''ale quart of beere''
could be bought for penny. The manu-.
facture of other drinks developed rapidly.
Fifty years after Judge Sewall named
ale, beer, made, metheglin, cider, wine,
sillabub, .claret, sack, canary, punch,
sack -posset, and blackberry brandy.
Every body drank cider, whic was pro-
duced on every farm in abundance.
Besides these, there was sbeyeridge, -
and "swizzle' made from molasses and
water. and mnny kinds of beer, but the
grand and universal drink was rum.
Ships took corn, spork and lumber to the
West Indies, and brought raw sugar and
molasses, which once here were speedily
converted into 1um. There was a dis.
tillery in every inland town, while those
on the coast had scores of them. The

drunk on all imaginable occasions.
Laborers would not work at the harvest,
nor builders at the trades, without an
allowance OF rum.
Large quantities of liquor were con-
sumed when a minister was ordained, as
is witnessed in many Of the parish records
still extant. The following record is
that of the town of Beverly, Mass, at an
ordination in 1855:
