Reslgned to His Fate.


A French officer, conducting an ex-
p1oring expedition recently up one Of
the rivers which flow into the Congo,
tells the following pathetic story of a
negro slave: One night while we were
in camp there came from the jungle a
youthful voice crying out to our boat
man in the Yakoma tongue: "Halloa,
Sangos! Do you know on the Ubanqui
the Yakoma chief Dembassi of the vii
lage of Dimassa?" Eyes! we know
him." ''Is he still living?" "He was
living when we left Ubanqui." He is
my father. When you see him on your
return, salute him for me. Tell him
that his son, now become man, has
not much to complain of in his situa-
ton, but that he longs for his native
country, his fathers village and his
friends Tell them that I am a slave
of the Sango chief, and that he treats
me WELL" How came you here?''
asked the boatman. My father, debtor
to Bougbou, sold me to his creditor
eight times twelve moons ago. From
market to market have passed
through many hands, to finish here
fifty moons ago. You will give my
message to my people, will you not?

Too Classic for Thorn.

"A resident In small suburban town
quite long distance from Boston had
visit from a German friend who
knew very little English, but played
the violin we'll. One of this resident 3
neighbors gave musical evening"
and Of course he and his visitor were
invited. The German took his violin,
and when his turn came he played one
OF the best pieces, from one OF the great
masters. When he had finished there
was an awkward silence, and no ap-
plause. The people were still looking
expectantly at the German, who look
ed disappointed and flustered. The
silence grew painful. Finally the host
ess, quite red in the face, edged over
to the side Of the Germans friend.
Cant you get him to-" she whis-
pered. What do you mean?" why,

War with Spain.

AS war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that all
that will be needed is warships, tor
pedo boats and other instruments of
destruction. But really what will be
needed more than anything else is a
good supply Of 70 DROPS" (manufac-
tured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure
Co., 167 Dearborn street. Chicago Ill.,,
to knock out the Rheumatism which Is
sure to grip our soldiers and sailors in
the miasmatic climate Of Cuba and
the surrounding islands, where the
war will be waged. The truth is that
something to heal and cure is precise
ly what is needed right now in the
desolated Queen Of the Antilles +"
Those 100000 reconcentrados reported
sick and dying by hundreds need pro-
visions, it Is true, but they need good
medicines fully as much. If Miss Bar
ton, the good lady who has charge Of
the Red Cross relief work, was sup
piled with "5 DROPS" she could, by
their agency, save many sick Gu
ban. These miraculous IS DROPS"
conquer many of the worst diseases
that afflict ailing humanity, such as
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, the excruciat-
ing Sciatica and the other diseases for
which it is recommended. The War
Department should see that there is
an abundant supply Of IS DROPS" in
the medicine chests.

a clergyman Of New York says the
earth will pass away before the year
two thousand. 1T was two thousand
years" he says. from the creation to
the flood, two thousand years from the
flood to the birth Of Christ, and think

Officials of southern railroad lines
prophesy that the traffic in the horti.
cultural products from that region will
be thirty per cent heavier than any
former year. 1t is less than twenty
years since Mississippi farmers began
to grow early vegetables for markets
outside their own state. Shipments are
now made to points as far north as
Portland, Me-, and even across the At
lantic. Fast freights and refrigerator
cars have made these shipments pos.
sible. For many years the southern
truck farmer confined his attention to
the tomato crop, and it was uniformly
profitable. Two years ago some insect
parasite made havoc with the seasons
crop, and since that time the farmer
is extending the variety Of vegetables
cultivated. The area Of truck farm.
ing Is yearly becoming larger and the
farmers seem to be making very gooo
headway.

Australians Mineral wealth.

In addition to gold and copper, New
South Wales is said to possess every
mineral advantage of the great manu-
featuring countries Of the world in the
shape of abundant coal and iron easily
accessible and readily worked. But al
though the local iron ore is exceeding
ly rich scarcely any progress has been
made in smelling, and nearly all the
pig and wrought iron used in local
manufactures is imported.

The commercial legal and diplomatic
complications to which war may give
rise are innumerable. To direct the
nations conduct toward friends and
foes so that there may be no disagree
able or dangerous aftermath requires
exact knowledge of American diplo-
matte tradition. We know that many
Of the usages of our diplomacy are the
object of hate in Europe, and that con-
tinental diplomats are constantly en-
deavoring, under the guise Of friend
ship, to lay traps for our feet. Neither
the Spaniards nor the Spanish war are
half so much to be feared as the
scheming, smiling confidence men con-
tinental Europe keeps to trick the
United States into relaxing it's vigil
lance and its guard over the great
heritage Of the west
