Just a War Incident

He was waiting on the corner of
Twelfth and Walnut streets. There was
quite a crowd around awaiting street
cars, and there was plenty of war talk
to be heard from the loungers in front
Of the saloon across the way. The morn
ing sunshine was warm upon the pave
ment.
Gould you oblige US with the way to
the armory?" asked a voice. He turned
quickly. Two fair-haired young fellows
were standing there. one on each side,
as he faced them. They were keenly in

want to enlist?''

He directed them to so straight cut
Twelfth street until they came to Troost.
and he became really interested in the
young fellows as they told him Of their
long search for employment, and OF a.
possible chance Of distinguishing them
selves In the war. He gave them a card

Literary men, especially those coming
from England, among whom might be
mentioned Marion Crawford and Anthony
Hope, assume a bored air when asked to
pose for a sketch, but in spite OF this as

one of them fail to call attention to the
least little point in the sketch that is dis
pleasing to the original.

One of the young men did most of the
questioning in a modest way, and as the
sidewalk was rather crowded, they stood
rather close together. He whistled a
patriotic air as they walked up the
street. They disappeared. Suddenly he
was annoyed to find that he had been
standing with utter carelessness, coat
thrown wide open, hands thrust in pock-
cts. His eyes remained fixed in the di-
rection the strangers had taken. His
hand stealthily raised itself to his vest;
the chain and watch were both gone. And
then he searched through his other pock-
cts. Ali that he found missing was $27
In new bills that he had received the
night before. 1t happened to be all he had.
AS he walked down the street he was
still whistling, but he had changed his
tune.-Kansas City Times.

five days arrest. This fault was that he
ordered water to be let into the port
compartments to keep the ship on an
even keel without consulting the cap
tain. His prompt action kept the ship
afloat for four hours. But stories appear
in the Paris journals which say that the
Ganget went to the bottom not because
of pooh or insufficient pumps, but be-
cause her plates were so put together
that they could not Withstand the con-
cussion produced by the firing of her
great guns. 1t is alleged that the lines
of plating were so badly riveted that d
knife blade could penetrate between
them. Not only this, but that many of
the bolts were made of wood or soft lead.
Her officers, it is said, were aware of the
ships condition, but no one cared to incur
the odium of telling the truth, as the ship
had been built in the government yard a

The Venezuelan Arbitration

Recent advices from st. Petersburg are
that Professor Martens of the university,
who has just been entrusted with the
task of presiding over the court of arbi-
tration in the Anglo-Venezuela difficult
ty, has received from the British govern
ment twenty-one volumes of printed mat
ter relating to the case, as we'll as two
very large folio aliases containing maps
of the territories in dispute, dating from
the sixteenth century down to 1898. There
is reason to believe that even a greater
amount Of documents will be furnished
by the Venezuelan government. 1t is
reported that Professor Martens has said
that he does not expect the court to ar
rive at decision much before 1900.

some of his experiences as follows:
II believe l can say with perfect coniid-
erce that 1 was the first newspaper artist
TO improve on the existing method of
sketching great statesmen and public char
acters as they appeared in congress or
public gatherings, by getting the same
eminent characters to pose for me in order
that the picture might do them justice.
Prior to the time when 1 put this idea
of mine into execution it had been pos
sble to get a picture only by hurried PEN
Gil sketch made at a distance from the
subject and during all manner of twist

bold plan of getting cabinet ministers and
other public men to grant him sittings, so
that, instead of sketching them from the
altitude Of the gallery in the senate or
house of representatives or drawing their
features from portrait, he could sketch
them leisurely and accurately while they
posed. How successful has been his work
under these conditions the accompanying
illustration of members of McKinley's cab

trated journalism took well. Where once
only the newspapers OF the big cities printed

1t is unfortunate that the war revenue
bill passed by the house and now in the
senate, did not provide for an income tax.
The masses not only volunteer to fight the
war, but they will be compelled to pay the

wealth-it borrows of wealth. paying per
