 honor shall be maintained and the rights of every American citizen protected. A vigorous foreign policy by the administra- tion will have the heartiest support of every member of congress, regardless of political prejudices. There may be trouble.
 Can't Aliay Excitement
 In administration circles the effort is be- ing made to prevent unnecessary alarm. but all attempts to allay excitement are without avail.
 Diplomats look upon the situation as most grave, and this view is taken by congressman. Senator Morgan, who has led the fight in the senate from the first for Cuba, is elated over the fact that a battleship Is steaming toward the island. He says that if the sending of the Maine shall be taken by the Spanish to mean A. recognition of tho bolIiserenes of the insurgents, that interpretation must be accepted as a confession on the part of Spain that the insurgents are entitled to such recognition.
 Fighting sigsbee
 Commander Sigsbee, in charge of the Maine, is man of iron nerve and force, and naval officers say he he will not hesitate to act promptly if any occasion for doing arises. Sigsbee comes from fighting stock. Personally he dislikes the course Spain has pursued and deep down in his heart he would welcome a fight. He is cool-headed, and those who know him best say he will do nothing but what is proper, and whatever is to be done will be done with superb discretion and at the proper time.

Judge HArlan's Treat.

Judge Harlan is the most dignifled man
on the supreme bench when he is on the
bench. His gigantic figure looms up above
the others like "a giant among pygmies.
He sits next to Chief Justice Fuller, and
the contrast is pronounced. When he Is
not in court, Justice Harlan plays golf,
walks, romps with his grandchildren and
his dogs and enjoys life thoroughly.
One day he delayed a street car several
minutes while ne and his little grand
daughter drove back the dogs that were
bent on following them to the depot On
the car the nurse rebuked the little girl
for chewing gum. "Why, grandpa gave it
to me. He okews gum, and can do what
grandpa does. " "Of course you can, " said
the judge. Here is enough to last you
all the way TO Chicago" And he took out
a big package of chewing gum and tucked
it away in the little girl S satchel. The 9th
err passengers smiled, and the nurse was ST.
lent. The judge and his granddaughter
continued to chew gum in absolute indif-
ference to oil the rest of the street car

How Cattle Were Once Acquired.

A ranChman's cattle are what he looks
to for by far the greater part Of his in.
come. Nearly all the work done on the
ranch is for their use and benefit, and
they have to repay him. To Increase his
herd as the capacity Of his ranch increases
Is the ranohman's idea. As long RS man
has only few cattle, say perhaps 20 COWS,
he can give them the best of care and all
the feed In the winter they can "lay to,
and the increase will reach very high
percentage. Quite likely every cow will
bring calf for the first year or two. As
the numbers increase, however, the per
oentage drops. 1t Is always much better
in a new country end on fresh range,
Here Is AM opportunity for industry In
stock raising to show itself
In the early days, when large herds
were the fashion, the industry" many
men displayed In securing large "call
crop" was through the medium of brand
ing iron. 1t used to be common saying
on the prairies that good rustler with II
branding iron would beat any mans herd
of cows in the matter Of increase. BY the
word "rustler" was meant an energetic
INSCRIPTIONS man. One would hear OF
some big stockman and DO told that he
started ten years ago with a single black
steer and branded over 900 calves the first
year-a truly phenomenal increase.

UNApPREclATED GIFTS.
Philanthropy That Was lnexplicable, TO,
Those Who Profited by 1t.

A gentleman who gave six drinking
fountains to Boston in 1855 has had some
queer experiences in his attempts to give
like benefits to other places. He has bust
ness interests In western city of large
size and, as he realized the need there of
public drinking fountains, be went some
time ago to the mayor of that city to make
q formal offer of gift Of nine such foun
tRins. The mayor was more than sur
prised and had long interview with the
would be benefactor during which he
tired to discover his object in making the
gift. He failed to be impressed by the sim
pie statement that, beyond filling the pub
lie need of just such fountains, there was
no motive to prompt the offer. The mayor
was incredulous, and the generous offer
was thought to be the harmless work of
crank. Indeed the Boston man who
made the offer of the gift afterward heard
that the mayor had spoken of his Inter
view with q crank" to those whom he
consulted regarding the matter. 1t was
only after considerable persuasion and ex-
ercise of diplomacy that his gift of the nine
| fountains was accepted. They have been
in position for some time now.
