In 1916 the colonies of NortlI
America, having IL population OF
scant 3 million, had courage
enough to defy the power OF
Great Britain, and patriotism and
tenaclty enough to press the Issue
to complete victory. In 1872 the
United States, with population
of less than s million, stood man
fully out against renewed aggres
slons by Great Britain, and Hull,
Perry, Porter, McDonough aud
cambridge on the water, and
Andrew jackson on thc land,
maintained manful!y the honor of
the nation, SO that until now, no
foreign people has thought to
question it. Shall history relate
that in 1898, with a population
approaching so millions, the I'm
tied States gave color of truth to
the Spanish sneer that 'six
Spanish cruisers and torpedo
boats" changed materially its at

What Elizabeth Steuart Ward
says about the .lngo newspapers:
"What should be SAID of the
newspaper men who might be
guilty of causing such an i'm
measurable Voc! God only could
forgive them. This country never
would. Let US remember that
civilized nations are no longer
thugs and pirates. 1t is out of
date to settle national differences
by slaughter. The incendlary ed
itor raves hotly over the loss of
three hundred men. But he cold
ly instigates the murder OF three
hundred thousand or three times
that. He pours fiery rhetoric
about the miseries consequent on
the explosion OF one battle ship.
But he is laying the torpedos
which may blow up two navies.
He places the NINE. He trails
the wire; he puts his finger on the
electric button. He is the Grim
inal. He is thousandfold more
guilty than any possible savage,
or maniac, who might, by any
conceivable turn OF events, be
suspected to know more than he
chose to tell about the destruction
of the Maine,"-Ex.

It does not lie in the painters fancy to imagine prettier picture than that of young girl, with lips luscious with the promise of love, half parted in the smiles of happy dreamland The mind of happy maideuhood is a clear and polished mirror, which. when the wits go wandering into the ghostland of dreams, reflects the ifnpres- sions of waking hours. If those impres- sions are pleasant and painless and happy, she will smile in her sl ep. If the impres- sious are those of a srffering woman, tor tured with the special ailments to which the feminine organism is liable, the picture is spoiled by the lines of suffering and de- spondency Maladies of this nature unfit woman for joyous maidenhood and for ca pablo motherhood.
