A PATRIOTIC DUTY.
An Excited American Father in LON
don Found a Way to Per-
form 1t.

A patriotic American living in Lon
don took fire during the early weeks Of
war excitement over the Maine disaster
He longed to return at once to his OWE
country where he could breathe his ma
tive air, talk with his own people and
be ready, if there were need, to fight fol
his flag.
II can do nothing where 1 ami" he
exclaimedIat his breakfast table, 81 an
chained here hand and foot by my bust
ness, and can do nothing for my OWL
country except to read the dispatches
in the morning newspapers"
why not try to make good Ameri
can of me?" piped up small voice al
the side of the table. lam going every
day to an English school where l never
hear word about American history
You know great deal about 1t. wish
that you would teach me some of the
things an American boy ought te
know"
The father was busy man who had
little time for lessons in American his
tory. His 11-year-old boys appeaI
touched him. The lad was learning al
school facts and dates about English
history, but nothing about America.
There is something in what you say,
he replied. IF l cannot do anything
else for my country in this exciting
time, l can at least try to make an
American of you"
So a household course in American
history was opened. One hour every
week was devoted to the lesson. There
was long talk by the father with a
carefully dictated summary at the close
which the boy learned and recited the
following week, answering such ques-
tions as were put to him.
The course began with the early his.
tory of the 10 colonies and the causes
of the American revolution. The mill
tary campaign from Lexington to York
town followed, with the making of the
constitution, the federalist administra-
tons of Washington and Adams, Jeffer.
sons purchase of Louisiana, the war OF
1912, the Monroe doctrine, the Missouri
compromise and the other great events
of American history in regular order.
The father knew his subject, and sue
ceeded in making it interesting to the
boy. 1t was not dry recital of facts,
but well-informed record of men and
events adapted to the intelligence of the
child and Illuminated with anecdotes.
The boy considered it the most de-
lightful hour of the week, and his lesson
was always carefully prepared. The fa-
Their had never before attempted to
teach his child anything but manners
and obedience, and he enjoyed the work
fully as much as his pupil. He also had
the comfort of thinking that while he
was compelled to live out of his country,
he was helping to make an American Of
his boy.
Many American fathers have great
store of knowledge concerningn national
history and politics, which they could
easily share with their children if they
would take the time and trouble re-
quired.
No boy is ever likely to forget what
his father teaches him with regularity
and patience, and American history is
one of the most interesting and i'm
portant among home studies. We can
not all fight the nations battles, but
many of us by earnest effort can make
good Americans of our boys and girls.

AND SCIENTIST. WILL SEND FREE, TO
THE AFFLICTED. THREE BOTTLES

merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine. to any reader of The

chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles

Already this ''new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity

Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption

Constautinople newspapers have been
indulging lately in very violent IAN
guage with regard to the treatment OF
the Sultan by Christian Europe. Thus
it ia declared that all Europe has con-
spired against Turkey and ia trampling
the rights of the Sultan and thu Mo-
bammedana under foot, and that the
magnanlmity that induced the Sultan
to evacuate conquered Thessaly, in
compliance with the prayers of the
great Powers, mas only enhanced the
importantly of Europg." One journal
denounces the handing over of Crete to
a company OF Christian rebels aud
Grim nale, another protests against
"the demand that the Sultan shall
allow many thousands of revolutionary
Armenians, who fed the country from
fear of just punishment, to return az
protegea OF the foreign Powers, in
order that they may become a new and
privileged element OF revolution. !"
Other Powers are accused of sending
their agents to Macedonia ana Albania
to SOW trouble there, and preventing
the Forte from bringing the guilty to
ACCOUNT. Such state of things, it is
declared, can no longer be tolerated.
The Christians in Conatantinople are
inclined to behave that these utterances
are prelude to nav prosecutions and
massacros, which might be expected to
cause fresh discordanoe in the Com
cert, and prevent further action On

The clock, unheeded, peals the midnight
hour;
The house is mute, the light is waxing
dim;
Whose is the wand, and whence the magic
power
That these has smitten with enchantment
grimP
The pigmy figures on the painted squares,
Silent as clustered friars in their knees
Whom death transmutes to marble at their
Seem not more stiff and statuelike than
these.
With hearts of champions charging in the
lists,
Whose lances crumble as they crash and
fall
With nerves of boxers pounding with their
fists;
There is no movements; it is semblance
all.
Save that, at intervals, q hand outstretched
Beckons charge or signals retreat;..
Or, from the depths whence plots malign
are fetched,
Issues the interdict that seals defeat.
The mimic battle has been lost and won:
The spacious night has shrunken to q
span
The word is lifted from oblivion,
And each automaton becomes man.

With respect to the recent issue OF
governments bonds to the amount of
5000. 0OU, 900, tina New YurK Evening
Post says that an impression prevails
in Wall street that the loan has been
failure in the sense that the govern
ment did not realize the premium on
the bonds, which ia now equal to per
cent or more. This premium, the Post
saws, would have been equal to s., 000,-
600, which has been reaped by persons
who subscribed for less than S5, 600
each. Theses are now gradually pocket
ing this IS, 600, 600 OF profit by selling
the bonds to capitalists of larger
class. who can afford to invest their
money at a luss rats of interest than 8
per cent 1t should be horne in mind,
however, that the government seldom
or never realizes the whole value OF the
bonds which it sells. Nor does a city
or a State or railroad company realize
the entire valus of it's securities when
ii MAKES largs issue. The government
has issued bonds on five different
occasions within five years, and in no
other case has it come 30 near TO
realizing the full market value of the
securities as in this instance. But the
intention Of the Secretary of this
Treasury in this uase was not TO get the
last possible dollar out of the bond
sale, but to head of the demagogues
who would be sure to raise a cry
against "the money power" if the
bonds we're sold to q syndicate in the
first instance. No group OF bankers
would have paid a premium Of 4 per
cent. They offered to pay per cent,
aud they might have paid something
more, but the political consequences
would have been bau. There has not
been a lisp of objection to this bond
sale, whereas the Populjst orators and
the yellow newspapers made the wslkin
ring with their outcries against some
Of the loans made under the Cleveland
administration, and actually convinced
many people that the government had
been defrauded by them.

iron which fell from enc OF the cars
catching in a switch at Singerly's
warehouse, about 40 yards sou b OF the

by the iron in such manner as to
throw car off the main track, and, as
the cars in front Of it were on the main
track, il was moving along in such a
shape as to damage the track 80 as to
throw ak other cars off the rails. The
cars were laden with lumber and all
were more or less damaged.
The truck was torn up for fully 200
feet and several telegraph poles were
broken.
One of the wrecked cars struck the
Office aud dwellinghouso occupied by
benjamin M. Wells and family, and a
portion Of the porch and the fence was
torn away.
Station Agent L. j. Finnan, who
was walking along the station platform,
