WANTS TO GET AWAY.
A New Style of "Panhandler" Appears
In Newspaper oMces, But
Fails to Connect.

He did not seem in good health. If
the war with Spain had not been going
on it is not certain that he would have
felt any better. In fact, he was of the
great army of "touchers" whom the
printers denominate 'panhandlers,' "
says the Chicago Chronicle. In other
words, the world owed him living, and
he was out to see that the world did
its duty. He was ragged and weather
beaten. He had seen service on the
under trucks of freight car and had
beaten his way over the greater por-
ton of the continent. But for the fact
that he was in Chicago he would be
denominated a tramp. He showed his
way into a downtown office the other
day and brushed up to the business Of
flee counter. Then he made his wants
clear in this wise to the young man be-
hind the counter:
"Say, young feller, I'm Spaniard,
an want to git out of the country, an
1 KANT swim. Ye see. 1 lost most of
my legs and amt much on movin'. I'd
be obliged for small contribution"
The young man gazed refiectively on
the applicant for moment, and then
he said:
"A Spaniard, eh? Well. I'll help you
along"
He moved rapidly from behind the
counter, and when last seen the ''Span-
lard" had received all the motive power
he needed for journey to the corner
at least.

My men were kept prisoners in the
hospital. From my window I could
see the army moving and it was
terrible to see those poor lads NOV

down by the Spaniards in rifle pits
in front of me. Yesterday the
Spaniards became as polite as could
be. knew something was up and
then the exchange came"
Hobson was overjoyed at getting
back. He looked well, though some
what worn. On the whole the
Spaniards treated him better than
had been expected. Mr.. Ramsden,
the British consul at Santiago, was
tireless in his efforts to secure COM
fort for Hobson and his men. The
young hero knew nothing about the
destruction of Cervera's fleet until he
reached the army lines. He could
not understand his promised ex-
ceptional promotion, but was over
joyed to learn the news that his
bravery had been recognized by the
people.

The Popular szmmer Bodice.

The separate bodice, to the delight of
all women, not only maintains its sway,
but has grown more elegant and, con-
sequently, more feminine-looking.
While the skirt worn with it should not
match it, care is taken not to make the
contrast too great. The wash ma
terials, especially pique, silk. linen
lawn and dotted muslin, continue in
vogue, but these are apt either to be
made very simply, or else they are deco
rated with narrow frills of lace. For
the more elaborate bodice for summer
wear, which appears in every woman's
wardrobe. the changeable taffetas and
the figured silks are given the prefer
snce; plain satin, Liberty silk and satin,
foulard and fine, soft woods are also
used.-Ladies' Home Journal.

American Acquisition of Cuba.

Purely sectional or political in
terests were in control when acquisi-
ton of Cuba and of Canada was dis
cussed at different times during fif-
teen years prior to the civil war. 1t
was mainly a struggle for the bal
ance of power in the U. S. Senate.
Some of the wisest public men since
the early part of this century had
believed that Cuba should be annex
ed at the first opportunity. Jefferson
thonght it desirable because it could
be defended without a navy. In 1893
John Quincy Adams, as Secretary of
State, declared that Porto Rico and
Cuba were natural appendages to
this continent. and that Cuba had
become an object of transcendent i'm
portance to the commercial and
political interests of our Union. He
believed that it would naturally
gravitate to the United States when
released from Spain. Polk endeavor-
ed in vain to purchase it. After the
electio of Pierce the Democrats
made it's aquisition one of their chief
aims. They tried negotiation, but
when that gave no promise of sue
cess, they threatened and argued
themselves into believing that we
had u right to seize the island if
Spain did not sell it. In 1858 Senator
Hale of New Hampshire, called for
extension northward. for a change,
and moved to substitute the word
Canada" in place of Cuba" in a
resolution expressing sentiments
favorable to our getting possession
of that island.-From Stewards

.FRONT" IN WASHINGTON.


The colored front of the Washing
ton hotel is like no other hotel hall boy,
white or black, in the United States. He
doesn't hesitate 20 ask the guests to do
part of his work. Old stagers at these
hotels do not appear to think it strange,
but folks accustomed to hotels in other
parts of the country are at first rather
surprised at the requests made of them
by the colored front" of the Washing
ton hotels. This is the style of it:
Coin to your room, sir?' asks
''front" with card and tray guest is
about to step into the elevator.
"Yes." And then front" handing the
card, says:
"Will you tap on Mr.. Honeycomb's
door and tell him this gemman is down.
stairs and wants to see him?"
Your room is 61, and front" knows it,
and he also knows that Mr.. Honey
combs room is GO, and to save himself
a trip upstairs he'll bother you to tap
at strange mans room and deliver the
message.
Or it is: "D'ye know, sir, if Mr.. Bull
leyton is in his room? You've just come
down, sir, and there's a gemman here
wants to see him." Sometimes il is:
"Will you, please, sir, drop this letter
into Mr.. Finnigan's room?" And SO it
goes.
The northerner at first is bit taken
aback, but he soon becomes accustomed
to the situation and grins at the audaci-
ty of the request. Others tell the coll
ored front" to go to the devil, and so
on. The colored front" doesn't mean
any disrespect. 1t is only his way of
trying to shuttle his work on to others.

FiItering MIX Before Usins.

Central depots where milk is received
and filtered before being taken to the
consumer are now a feature of several
European cities. Large cylindrical yes
sells are divided horizontally near their
center by compartments containing
sand of three successive degrees of fine
ness, the coarsest being the lowest, and
as the milk arriving from the country is
poured through pipe into the bottom
of these vessels it rises through the
sand filter and is run off by an overflow
pipe into cool cistern, from which it
is drawn directly into locked cans for
distribution. The sand is renewed each
time the filter is used.

A number of sales at a figure better
than 16 cents have taken place at the
Falls in the past two OF three days.
The Tribune in writing of the market
and the prospects for better prices,
says:
1t has been said that buyers were
buying at speculative prices, but this
does not seem to be true. For one
clip that sold the other day at above
IL cents, there were five tie bids; and
ties are offrequent occurrence, indicat-
ing that the buyers are judging close
ly the market valve of the wool that
is offered.
The high prices are very encourag-
ing to the sheep men of Fergus and
Cascade counties. Nearly all sales
that have been made have been OF
Teton county wool, most OF it from
the Sweet Grass country. In other
years, the Teton wool has graded
considerably below that from other
counties. 1t is true that Teton
county sheepmen have been breeding
up for wool, but there has not yet
been time for the breeding to become
apparent. The growers of other
counties have alsa been breeding up.
Furthermore, sheep wintered worse
in Teton county than in any other
section of the state; this was parti-
cularly true to the Grass Range
country. The rains were not as
copious as in other counties and the
wool is dirtier. If Teton county
clips, under these conditions, bring
16h@17A cents. the growers of other
counties have reason to expect at
least two cents better for the verage
clips, while it would not be at all
surprising if choice clips brought 20
cents.
Very little Fergus or Cascade
county wool has yet arrived here. A
large number of growers have not
yet commenced shearing and, while
it is reported that considerable wool
is on the road from Fergus county,
the condition of the roads is holding
it back. All reports are to the effect
that the wool is of surprisingly
good quality and the growers will
gain by every days delay. The fall
of Santiago will ease the money
market and advance wool, as has
every other victory; and the estab-
lishment of peace will also probably
be consummated before the wool
market closes and this will have a
good effect. The adjournment of
congress will also have slight effect
of a favorable nature.
