Ma1me Gossip:
Sampson.

strength;
He took a lion by the tail, threw him
ten times his length.
He told the people riddles, that none of
them could guess
Until woman sold him out for penny
more or less.
He caught a lot of foxes, tied fire brands
to their tails
Let them run among the crops and that
way turned the scales.
With jaw bone of a braying beast a thou
sand men he slew,
Twas never known in ancient times just
what this man could do.
The Gazites gazed in wonder at this an
Gent man of might
AS he picked up the city gates and
lugged them out Of sight.
His wife she coaxed the fact from him.
His strength lay in his hair.
So in his sleep she trimmed 1t OF and
left his head quite bare,
But when his hair 1t grew again and ten
thousand filled HAN,
He knocked the posts from under 1t and
nearly killed them all.
And this mans name was Sampson. His
great historic fame
Sent down through generations. Blood
telling just the same
Our Sampson SPANS hyenas slew-a
thousand and a score,
Burned and sunk their battleships, or
piled them up on shore:
His foxes were of the flying kind, each
carrying fire and death
Destroying Spanish strongholds as with
a demons breath.
The only jaw bone that he used was one
that belonged to him
Killing a thousand and a score with his
y signaled orders grim.
All the world in wonder gaze at this
modern man of might
AS Spanish forts go up in smokc and
ships sink out of sight.
Our Sampson keeps his hair cut short.
OF course it's better so,
For he would conquer all the world il his
hair was allowed to grow.

the legislators. Most of the contracts
between Portland merchants and the
firms that supply the stamps expire
within a few weeks, and a general
movement is in progress among the
former with view to checking the
constant drain on them due to the issu-
ing Of trading stamps. If the mer-
chants stand together as wen as they
now appear to be doing the issue will
be settled here without resort to legis-
latiOn.

Cerveras8 squadron out Of existence In
last Sundays great naval battle was
under the command Of acting Admiral
Sampson. and no doubt history will
refer to the conflict as Sampson's
great victory. But more complete de-
tails of' that days work show that the
real hero ot the occasion was Commo-
dore Hey. It 10 well for the country
to recsnise this now. and rive the
credit here It Il due. This = not in
any disperasement Of the brave and
brilliant commander Of the American
fleet. but events SO happened that upon
Commodore schley was thrown the
main responsibility Of the battle and to
him should 30 the main glory Tor the
great victory.
When Cervera made his desperate
dash for liberty, Sunday morning. Ad-
mFal Sampson and his flagship. the
New York. were some seven miles to
the eastward Of the harbor mouth.
Commodore Schley on the Brooklyn.
the second In command. was close at
hand and It was his signals which the
fleet followed in the battle. Withou;
hesitation the intrepid Schley led the
Brooklyn into the battle, and at first
this cruiser had to engage three or four
Of the enemy's ships. The Oregon.
Iowa. Indiana. Massachusetts. Texas.
and the little Vixen and Gloucester
followed his lead, and before Admiral
Sampson and the New York could
catch up with the running fight along
the westward shore most Of the Span
ish ships had been destroyed and the
battle was won. Commodore Schley
showed great strategy in keeping the
Spanish ships in shore and in the
manoeuvring Of his fleet, and his per-
sonal dash and influence on the battle
were equal to Dewey's at Manila.
1t was just the chance of fate and
no fault OF his own that Admiral
Sampson only got in at the death, and
was not present to personally lead his
fleet to the magnificent victory it won;
but since Schley did most of the work
and was the real leader in the actual
battle let us give him full credit, and
remember the all important part he
bore in SIMPSONS triumph. His bril-
liant record in the past left nothing
else to be expected, and he has only
done what all knew he would do If he
had the opportunity. Such men are
the glory and pride Of the American
navy, and there are hundreds in the
service made of the same sterling stuff.
The fiscal year of 1898 closed June
30. AS far as the imports and exports
of merchandise can be compared, the
total foreign commerce of the United
States for last year shows a remark
able increase. In fact, this year just
ended has been the banner year in
American foreign trade. which repre-
sents a larger aggregate volume than
in any previous similar period of our
commercial history. Figures from
Washington show that the exports If
the products and manufactures of the
United States represent a total value
of $1,000, 100000, while the imports will
be but little more than half that sum.
This gives trade balance of nearly
5000, 900, or 100 per cent. in our favor
for the year.
