And genial Andrew jackson Smith,
With his good wife-and that's no

And quiet, modest Edward Chick,
Tho never known to loose trick.
Then Horace Joseph Craft is in it,
Is he hot stuff? "Well in a minute" 4"
And Cord, who rides the wild Cayuse,
Suppress him try but it's no use.
And Harry Russell ends the count,
Or our gay party on the mount,
Which Helen Wilder engineers.

hoary with antiquity and pregnant with

the common law as n guidance for the
common people and ignore the more
obsolete and barbaric codes; did she
seek to improve the minds and morals
of all Spaniards instead of keeping
them where they have been for CEN
turtles: did she even now realize that in

she has received such shock that to

could be something that is Spanish to

be done. That Spain will cling to her

With the exception of an occasional

n view of making it. finally. unassail-

The latest project under serious con-
sideration is the construction of a
canal to unite the Baltic and the Black
sea, with view OF affording an outlet
to the Black sea fleet. as well as short
route for the Baltic fleet to the Euxine.
This is an undertaking perhaps as
great as the trans-Siberian railroad,
but as 1t can be put through without
any debates by parliament or press. it
can be commenced as soon as the gov
ernmcnt thinks the time has come.
The Baltic end of the canal, 1t is

terminus at Kherson, on the Black sea.

CHILE AND THE UNITED STATES

There Is of course nothing In the re-

Chile may NOS have any particularly
friendly feelings for the United States.
Many yenra ago some Chilean miners
were driven out of California. Later
our government interfered between
Chile and Peru and prevented the
former country from annexing some
rich provinces belonging to the neigh
boring country, and then in 1891. when
the United States refused to recognize
the belligerent rights OF the provisional
government which finally carried the
victory, the Chlleans exhibited very
bad temper towards the United States
minister, Mr.. Egan. and arrested some
American citizens. During this un>
pleasantness. as will he remembered
sailors of the U. S. Baltimore were at
tackled by q mob, and two died from
injuries received, The demanded salts

war was threatened

an opportunity of revenging them
selves, but the Spanish war will not
afford that opportunity.
