TWO AGAINST ONE.
Yet One Could Not Help Feeling
Sorry for the Wifs-Shovved
Her Mothers Nature.

a former well-known newspa per man
some years ago went to England and
brought back an English wife, who still
loves her mother country. The couple
have several children, among them a
bright seven-year-old boy, who is
thoroughly American. The other even
ing, while at dinner, says the Pitts.
burgh Chronicle Telegraph. the hus.
band and wife were discussing the pros
poets of war with Spain, and during the
conversation the wife remarked:
DO you really think the United
States could defeat Spain?-
Defeat Spain!" exclaimed the hus-
band. We'll, should say 80. We can
lick any country in the world, and sew
eral of them put together. Well, l
should say!"
The English-born girl flushed Slight
ly, her love for old England stirred her
heart, and she responded: We'll, ]
guess the United States couldn't whip
England"
The seven-year-old boy had been
quiet up TO that point, but he knew
some history. He looked at his mother
and said: Cant whip England! Why
we did it twice already and we can do il
again"
The mother gasped in surprise, the
father smiled broadly, and the boy tri.
umphed, for his mother had no more to
say.

AN ANIMAL PARADISE.
Dogs and Cattle of AIN Kinds Are
Treated Very Humanely in
Holland.

The animals which are lucky enough
10 live in Holland are fortunate crea-
lures. Cows and pigs dot the land
scape in every direction and roam with
the sheep and horses in the pastures
bordered by the canals, which they can
not cross. In Switzerland, on the 9TH
er hand, the cattle are kept shut up
most of the time in dark, sitting little
stables because there are no fences, and
otherwise the animals would stray,
says the Chicago Evening News.
The bappiest dogs live in the Hague,
for muzzles are not compelled, and
everyone seems to take his dog along
when he goes for an airing. A touch
ing story connected with the history
of William the Silent, prince of Orange,
may have had an influence in disposing
the Dutch people to a general regard
and love for dogs. On the monument
of this prince in church at Delft is an
inscription referring to farorite dog
of his. On one occasion when he was
in great danger from Spanish assassins
who were about TO enter the tent where
he lay asleep the dog jumped on his bed
and by barking loudly awoke him in
time to make his escape. Afterward,
when he was assassinated, the same
dog is said to have pined away and died
of grief. The fine statue of William at
The Hague also has the dog at his feet,
looking affectionately up to the face of
his master.
Horses are treated very humanely in
is conspicuous by its absence. In none
of the large cities of Europe will one see
the straight check, which draws back
a horse's head painfully. Side check
reins are sometimes used, but never in
convenience the horse.

1T WAS THE WRONG MAN.
The soundly siurnbcring Passenger
was Awakened, Dut He Didn't
Thank the Young Lady.

It was the last suburban train for
that evening, and when the girl stepped
aboard of it she saw before her man
whom she knew. Later, seated in the
car, she noticed him sleeping soundly
some distance in front of her, with his
head on the back of the seat. AS his
station drew near she became decidedly
nervous on his account, says the Chi
cago Tmes-H erald.
THAT gentleman asleep over there
ought 70 get off at Kcnwood," she told
the conductor, presently, and the Off
cial reluctantly yielded to her persua-
sion, and aroused the slumbering pas
senger.
young lady Gays you ought to get
OF here" he explained briefly. and the
erstwhile sleeper lazily turned q cham
pagne-fu ushed face about.
"What in thunder does it matter TO
her where I get off?" he demanded,
noisily.
And the girl nearly tainted where she
sat: for il was the wrong man.

THE rHEATER OF WAR.

In case of war, which now seems very
near, there is not likely to Ee much
fghing on the territory of the United
States. If there are any engagements
on land they will, in all likelihood, be
upon the island Of Cuba, where Spain
now has an army of considerable size.
The war will be largely a naval one,
and it's theater will be the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea. These
are practically great inland seas, which
occupy an enormous indeutation in the
land between the northern and south
ern divisions of the continent. 1t will
assist US all in understanding the
events that are likely to take place in
the next few months to give to this
area little attention.
Nearly the whole region lies south of
the tropic of Cancer. and is in the
tropics. 1t is the Mediterranean of the
western world, except that it enjoys a
more genial climate and is not so much
landlocked as that wonderful arm of
the sea, which, passing through the
narrow passage called by the ancients
the Gates of Hercules, thrusts itself
almost through the eastern continent.
1t was this part of America that was
first discovered; it was to this region
that the first Spanish adventures came,
and it was here that they began that
career of plunder, robbery, murder,
rapine AMI conquest that enriched the
mother country; that left its taint of
cruelty on the people ever since and
which for time made Spain one of the
most prosperous nations in the world
and almost the mistress of Europe.
Through the warm, limpid waters Of
the gulf and the Caribbean sea sailed
those fabled galleous which bore the
golden plunder of temples and palaces
to the treasures of Ferdinand and
Philip and Charles, and which nfamed
the avarice and the spirit of adventure
of all Europe.-Pittsburg Times.

Dnwson.s First Anniver.ary.

THE River Trip to the Klondike" is
described in the Century by John Sid.
ney Webb. The author says: "The
way back to Dawson over the trail was
not so easy, but got there soon after
the town had celebrated the first ami
versary Of its discovery, on August II,
1896. The saloons were crowded. Such
signs as This game never closes 1925
and $50 limit Straights barred Flush
beats three of a kind indicated the
drift of the miners amusements. It is
worth noting that in all of the stories
about great fortunes made in this
country, no one speaks of the man who
took out 100000. and the only gold
mine he had was saloon and dance
house"

THE NEXT STEP.

There is a mistaken idea that the ac-
tion OF the twoHouses in theCuban mat
ter is sufficient without the Presidents
approval Mr.. Mckinley will sign the
joint resolution beyond a doubt. He
will not it is believed, direct a hostile
ship against Spain before calling on
her 10 withdraw her officials and army
from Cuba. The answer to, this will be
prompt negative and some manifesto
by Spain to the civilized world. The
next step will be the request of MIR.
Woodford for his passports and his
withdrawal from Madrid. At the same
time the Spanish Minister at Washing.
ton will be furnished with his pass
ports, and next will come the trial of
strength between the two nations.
Such is the probable outline of the next
few days. Spain must get out of Cuba
bag and baggage She must go at
once.

"PoOr" Law Passed.

Judge NJ. D. Follett, of the Board of
State Charities, received telegram
Thursday evening notifying him that
the bill relating to the government Of
the Inirpary Directors and Township
Trustees in caring for the poor, had
passed the lower house of tie State
Legislature by vote of 76 to 8. The
bill had already passed the Senate and
is therefore now law. The bill was a
codification of the old poor law with
regard to the duties of Trustees and
Iufrmary Directors and had been
strongly recommended by the State
Board of Charities. 1t is designed to
do away with many abuses under the
cid system of outdoor relief.

A MIXED RACE.
Americans Are People Composed
of Almost All the Other Ma
tionalities.

Not all Americans are Anglo-SaYons.
Even in the south, where the proper
ton of people drawn from that source
is greatest, there are strong infusions
of French, Irish and Scotch-Irish blood.
In the west are extensive German, Irish
and Scandinavian populations, in the
east vast Irish population, large
Canadian-French element, and an i'm
mensc number of Germans. Even what
is called the Anglo-Saxon stock is mixed
with Dutch, Huguenot and Scottish
contributions. When this country has
lighting to do she does not look to one
race among her people, but to all. and
her foreign relations cannot be planted
on the atlinities of Anglo-Americans or
any other ethnic element, says the SYRIA
cuse Standard.
When we have cleared our minds of
error, prejudice and injustice, enabling
ourselves to understand what Ameri-
canism means-how it is not the pre-
dominance of any race or religion-we
shall perceive the exact worth and
character of the friendship subsisting
between Great Britain and the United
States. There is common language;
there is common law; there are many
common political ideas; there are com
mon interests in trade, so that the pros.
perity of the one is more or less inter.
twined with the prosperity of the other;
and lastly both are free states, having
an active. educated public intelligence,
peculiarly responsive to the appeals OF
universal humanity.
