THE LORDS No DEAF.-A poor
old deaf man, residing in a Fifeshire
village, was visited one day by the
parish clergyman, who had recently
taken a resolution to pay such visits
regularly to his parishioners, and
therefore made a promise to the wife
of this villager that he should call oc-
casionally and pray with him. The
minister, however, soon fell through
this resolution, and did not pay an
other visit to the deaf man till three
years after, when happening to 60
through the alley in which the poor
man lived, he found the wife at the
door, and therefore could not avoid
inquiring for her husband.
"Well, Margaret" said the minister,
show is Thomas ?"
"Nae the better O. you," was the
rather curt answer.
"How, Margaret ?" inquired the
minister.
"Oh, ye promised twa year syne to
ca and pray ance fortnight wi him,
an We ance darkened the door sin
syne."
"Well, we'll, Margaret, don't be SO
short. 1 thought it was not necessary
to call and pray with Thomas, for he's
deaf, you know, and cannot hear me. "
"But, SIR" rejoined the woman,
"the Lords no deaf"
And the indolent clergyman shrank
abashed from the cottage.

APPREHENSIVE OF THE ENEMY.
Strategic Board Can Only Guess the In
tentions of the Spaniards.

Strategic Board Can Only Guess the In
tentions of the Spaniards.
A Washington special of Wednes-
day to the Atlanta Journal says the
strategic board is very apprehensive
that Spain may at an early date begin
the bombardment of American coast
cities. The greatest fear is that they
may begin the bombardment at small
cities which have little or no protec-
ton. The ombardment may begin at
the extreme north Atlantic coast or
the extreme southern.
To warn the government of ap-
preaching danger portion of the fly
ing squadron is securing the northern
coast, and small but rapid scouting
vessels are patrolling the southern and
middle sections of the coast.
The apprehensions Of this move are
based on the peculiar resentment in
Spain that there has been no offensive
movement on the part of the Spanish
fleet and no attempt to save the island
of Cuba. The naval authorities say
that from strategic point of view
such move would be most foolish
and disastrous to Spain, that country
having so few coaling facilities on this
hemisphere; but popular excitement
in Spain may force the government to
seek an engagement with a mosquito
fleet in American waters.
When the Spanish fleet reaches the
North Atlantic it will find no merchant
ships flying the American flag, for the
reason that vessel owners have become
thoroughly frightened and refuse to
permit their steamers to leave port.
The only prize of value the Spaniards
could possibly get would be the City OF
Paris, and she appears to have lodged
number of them since she left South
ampton.
The Emperada Carlos, which YVES
assigned to capture the Paris, has been
twice sighted in the usual trans-Atlan-
tic track; but Captain Watkins, it is
Learned at the navy department, had

preliminary to the invasion, and that
three brigades are now heing rushed
to Tampa and other points to embark
for Cuba.
The forti6cations of Matanzas hav.
ing been destroyed, the troops propose
to assault and capture the town. The
Spaniards may make an attempt at re-
sistance, and if so there will be a des.
perate battle.
The city of Matanzas taken, it will
be made base of supplies and also ot
future operations. 1t is said that fur
ther plans include rush on Havana,
and here it is expected there will he
some desperate fighting.
The story is that General Merit is
to be in charge Of operations against
Matanzas and will continue in com.
mand of the invading army until Gen
eral Miles sees proper to 60 to Cuba in
person.

HER SACRIFICE.-"If war breaks
out" said the little woman with the
bright gray eyes, "we must all do
something to help. We can't fight,
of course, but each of us can aid in
some way. We must economic in our
pocket money and buy nice things for
the wounded. We must reduce our
extravagances. We can buy cheaper
goods, you know, and put less mate
rial into our gowns" YES" said the

ALAND AGENTS STORY.

A pretty good story is told about
Land Agent Miner, of the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railway, who
one day had party of Eastern farm
ers in town, trying to sell each of them
a farm in the Arkansas valley. Milnel
had taken them into his light wagon
and behind his spanking team of bays
had given them a grand ride, lasting
all day. He had done his best to make
them enthusiastic by rehearsing the
stories which he had at tongues end
of the marvellous crops of the valley
but to all intents it was "love's labor
lost" for they would not thuse. This
ANNOYED Milner, but he had his re-
venge in his reply to one of the party,
who, with sardonic smile, asked,
"Well, Mr.. Agent, is there anything
that won't grow here"
eyes," replied Miner; "pumpklns
won't"
"What !" exclaimed the cynical land
buyers, together "pumpkins wontT'
"No," said Miner; "there are men
in this county who would give $3.50 an
acre for land that would mature crop
of pumpkins. They never have been
able to get crop since I've been here,
and that is 10 years"
"Well, how strange! Why is it"'
said land buyer No. 1.
This was Miners chance, and with
a serious expression he replied, "Well,
sir, the soil is so rich that the vines
grow so fast they wear the pumpkins
out dragging them around over the
ground"

How STRANGE.-"Well," said Rick
sley, 'I'm compelled to admit that |
can't understand women" "What's
happened now?" 81 met Gladys
Dawkins yesterday afternoon, and she
said this fine, balmy weather made her
feel just like bird" eyes ?" IL
wanted to show her that understood
what she was trying to get at, so
said she looked rather fly and blamed
me if she didn't flare up and leave me
standing there, without even saying
goodbye"

A CONDITION EXPLAINED.-" es, "
said the man who is generally to be
found with his feet on a desk, "there's
no doubt about it; collections are ter
ribly hard" "Do you speak from
personal experience ?" asked his friend.
"Certainly. haven't been able to
collect a dollar in three weeks. "Have
you tried ?" "No; l knew it was OF
no use. That is-er-well, TO tell the
truth, l haven't been feeling much like
work lately, and when l come to think
of it, there isn't any one who owes me
a dollar"

Ingratitude in Ireland

Ingratitude is a thankless serpant, but
not fangless one. Dispatches from Lon
don show that while large number Of PEG
pie of the United Kingdom are in sympathy
with the United States in its war with
Spain, and while Scotland is practically
solid for America, Ireland. except in the
north is hostile to America. The north Of
Ireland is largely opposed to home rule
and really mbight be expected to have very
little sympathy for the United States, as the
people of this nation were an active and ar
earnest, and most influential element ir
favor Of such home rule. But the rest Of
ireland, for which the citizens OF this I'm
lon have done SO much, have contributed
untold millions, and have brought mora
pressure to bear that contributed largely t.
win the political and material reforms fol
which the people of Ireland battled SO long
the Irish of that portion of Ireland should
have let their right hands wither before
they would prove rattlesnakes to the pep-
pie who had generously fed, clothed, and
battled for them.-sacramento Bee.

John ]. ingalls, is said to have declined
q nomination for the house of representa-
tfves ON the ground that the house would
give no glory to a man who had served in
the senate. Several men, however, won
new laurels in the house after leaving the
senate. Clay served in the senate before
he did in the house, and he could have con-
tinued In the senate, but he accepted a
seat In the popular chamber in preference.
Moreover. he became a far more potent
figure in the house than he had been in the
other body. He returned to the senate
afterward, but during his service in the
house, especially at the time of the war Of
1872 and during the Missouri admission corr
test he was the most powerful parsonage In
the country. John Quincy Adams was not
only an ex-senator, an ex diplomat of dis
tinction and a famous ex-secretary Of
state when he went to the house of rep
resentatives In 1881, but he was also an
ex-president. yet he won more glory in thu
house than he did in all his other stations.
In the house Mr.. ingalls, might carve out
for himself brilliant new career.-S..

who is built on lines similar to those Ut
Fitzsimmons, disposed of Lige Robinson
in easy style Friday night at the Manhat-
tan club. Robinson does not appear to be
able to take punishment. and as soon rs
Griffin got in few good ticks he simply
fluked. Robinson crouched helpless In his
corner and exposed his body to his oppon-
cnt, without making the slightest attempt
to get away or protest. He acted like an
ostrich and covered his face with his arms,
under the apparent superstition that Griffin
would be merciful and not hit him. Banks
and Brown, the little colored bantnms, al
ways put up good exhibition and are
neat. clever fighters.
Griffin challenged Bob Jones to fight
and Jones accepted the def with the condi.
ton that he would not fight for purse
less than $500. Griffin's manager offered
to guarantee $500 to Jones, provided he de-
feated the lanky man. but, as there was I,
string to this offer, It is not probable that
Jones will accept 1t. Swiftly also challenged
Griffin to another fight. and this meeting
may be arranged il the arrangements for
the match with Jones fall through.
Bob Thompson and Billy Lynch are

en- the opposite side of the political fence,

and took part in the Bryan convention. Hc
returned to his home In Chenango county,
was elected chairman Of the Democratic
state committee which was to carry on the
fight for Bryan and Sewall and incidentally
Tom Watson, and presided at Bryan 9

when the Nebraskan FIRST entered" tho
