NEW PATHS.

Emotional pat
riotism is blazing
new paths for the American people. But
practical patriotism deliberates. 1t
is claimed by the former that the
United States is just beginning to be
known and respected by the nations of
the earth, and it attempts to make the
achievements of Washington, Franklin,
jefferson, Hamilton and Madison, in
civil life and in military prowess, micro
scopic and hardly discernible down the
avenue of a century and a quarter. The
methods, policies, teachings and admon-
itions of the fathers of the American
Republic are declared to have been ap-
propriate only for an infant government
but entirely obsolete and UNACCEPTABLE to
it's posterity.
The sensational press and the inlam-
matory oratory Of the United States are
now daily employed in belittling the
past of the government and the country.
The war of the revolution for the indie
pendence of the Colonies is depicted by
them as a most insignificant affair,
while the war of 1912 is still more in
tensely minimized, and the war with
Mexico made utterly invisible. The
Civil War, however, which closed only
in April, 1865, is admitted to have been
something of an array of physical force
and militant ability, though nothing
compared to the war machinery
and fighting equipment which have
been recently developed by the
conflict between Spain and the
United States. The war between that
antiquated, debiIitated and deteriorated
people, on the one hand, and the young,
vigorous and strenuous Republic of the
United States, on the other, does not
demand the highest ability and prowess
of this country. Whether this Spanish
war could have been averted by congress,
had an endeavor been made for peace
equal to that which has been put forth
to find p~retexts for battles is a question
not now to be discussed. 1t is enough
to recall the fact that this wal was en-
tered into upon the ground of humanity.
The American government i%nterposed
to prevent the starvation of men, wo-
men and children who were in rebellion
against the government of Spain. Con-
gress by deliberate declaration informed
the world hat this Republic sought no
new territory, that it desired no acquis-
ition of domains by war or otherwise.
The. conflict, therefore, was instituted
solely for the purpose Of acting as a Good
Samaritan among the nations of the

ORATORY IN Somewhere about
NEBRASKA. the year 1850, just
after the accession of Logan Fontanelle
to the chiefship of the Omaha Ind
ians, there was a great council of that
tribe convoked, and while the newly Sc
lected leader was making a speech he
was interrupted by the constant at
tempts of White Cow, one of the head
men, to interpose some remarks of his
own. Enduring these seemingly ire
pressible eruptions of the talkative Mr..
White Cow for some time, Fontanelle
at last become enraged and in a moment
Of anger drew his scalping knife and
slashed the cheek of Mr.. White Cow
wide open. This savage surgical opera
ton for the time being allayed the YER
bosity of the ~interlocuter and the coun-
Gil proceeded to it's adjournment with
out further interruption from him. But
iginal orators who never saw a crowd
gathered together that he did not feel
like making a speech. This popularity
of his seems to have distinguished many
citizens who now inhabit the land that
Mr.. White Cow and his ancestors origin
ally possessed. He, however, never af-
forwards in the presence Of Logan
Fontanelle attempted any great amount
of oratory or eloquence. But, as a con-
slant reminder of the modification
which the blow from his chief had in
ficted upon him, he wore as long as he
lived a large, black, old fashioned, silk
handkerchief tied over his head and
down under his chin so as to conceal the
cash with which the knife of his SUI
perior had indelibly SCARED one side Of
his strong face. During the years 1854,
1866 and 1856, and even down to his
death, no white mar or Indian, outside
of his own family, ever had an oppor-
tunity to see the scar inflicted by Fonta-
nellie. 1t was invariably concealed by
the silk kerchief. Nevertheless White
Cow remained eminent and justly dis
tinguished among both Indians and
whites as one of the most logical, per-
suasive and eloquent men of the entire
Omaha tribe.

globe. Nothing but ~benevolence and a
desire to compel liberty for the Cubans
actuated the Mckinley administration.
And yet there is a paroxysmal patriot
ism already abroad in the land which
wildly shrieks for the holding of all
islands and other territory over which
the flag of the Republic has been once
foated. These hysterical annexationists
think that there are no other glories for
a government than those which are to
be obtained by militarism. They forget
that the United States for more than a
hundred years has been respected by all
the nations of the earth because of it's
adherence to justice and right and be-
cause of it's great intellectual and moral
development. In all the great seaports
and in all the great trade centers of the
globe the United States has been achiev-
ing the beneficent victories of civiliza-
ton and commerce. In that one CEN
fury it has accomplished more for the
advancement and exaltation of the hui
man race than any and all other gov
ernments put together.
The new paths pointed out are not
safe to enter upon. But the victories of
peace are peculiarly adapted to this
form of government. "Peace and good
will to man" is the acme, the browning
glory and consummate perfection of civil
ization. And while the United States,
physically, with it's men and material,
can equal on the battlefield and on the
seas any Of the nations of the earth,
it's great strength and usefulness are in
it's mental and moral forces. It's agri-
culture, it's manufacture and commerce
explore all the habitable globe, and the
influence of it's thought and it's religion
permeates the remotest sections of the
earth.
Practical patriotism is not in favor of
permanent militarism. Practical pat
riotism differs with emotional patriotism
because the latter is inspired by impulse
and the former by reason. The bar
barrie glory of wal and the savagery of
triumphs by arms are not alluring to
the best minds and characters of
modern times. Those great internat-
ional expositions for corpsemaking, for
wounding, for mutilating, called battle
fields are not the result of christianity
and civilization, but are the sporadic
indications of the fact that the original
savage and the prehistoric barbarian are
not entirely bred out of the modern man.
1t is a sad fact that during the last half
of the last decade of the Nineteenth
Century humanity should anywhere be
settling it's difficulties by brute force.
The spectacle is a satire upon the
Wanted improvement of our race dur
ing the last eighteen hundred years.

A Historic Flagstaff.

In General Corbin's office at the
War Department is a section OF the
flagstaff from which fioated the Stars
and Stripes over Fort Sumter when
the garrison stationed there struck its
colors. April IA, 1861, and left the fort
in possession of the Confederates. The
staff was Of yellow pine and the piece
in General Corbins office is about
one foot long and nearly the same III
diameter. 1t is bound with brass
hoop half an inch wide to prevent
splitting, and where it is cracked the
wood looks new, and thirty-eight
wears time has not made any ravages
ON it. Major Robert Anderson was in
command of the famous fort when it
surrendered, and with his own hands
hauled down the colors, but four years
later, after he had won his spurs and
ranked as n major-general, he raised
the flag on the same staff from which
he had lowered it four years earlier.
After the ceremonies attending the
flag raising We're concluded the staff
was divided into sections and one piece
sent to the War Department, where it
has since remained and is highly
priced.

inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will

Rather Fight Than Talk.

At the roof garden entertainment IN
New York the other night there was
an illustration of Roosevelt's popularity
and the enthusiastic spirit which pos
sesses the people. A well-known i'm
personator of prominent characters IN
troduced into his act several military
features. He appears as General
Miles. in the celebrated uniform; as
Admiral Dewey and Colonel Roose-
welt, dressed in his Kharkee uniform.
When he appeared on the platform in
this costume Monday night the
audience was startled by prolonged
ki-yi-yi-yi, the war whoop of the Rough
Riders, which came from young man
who sat at one of the side tables drink
ing beer with party of friends and
fondling a pair of crutches. Every
body arose and looked that way, and
the warwhoop was repeated. In less
than a minute everyone on the roof
knew that genuine wounded Rough
Rider was in the audience, and al
though he was only a private, they
made him take the platform and tried
to induce him to make a speech. But
his tongue was paralyzed, and al
though he might have faced the Span
ish batteries without trembling he
was frightened half out of his wits by
the demonstration of the audience

Such Is War.

The actions of men wounded in bat
tie are often misunderstood. General
Fuller, as quoted in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, cites a pathetic instance of this
kind:
In the midst of battle General Fuller
was irving to check the flight of panic
stricken men. One poor fellow came
stumbling along, not needing word
that was said to him.
Indignant and impatient Fuller, as
he came near this man, leaned from
his horse and touching him with his
sword, said sharply: $50 back, sir!'
The man looked up with an express
sion of anguish and despair on his
face that said as plain as words, Il
am looking for place to die" He
opened his blouse and showed big,
gaping wound in his breast. Then he
dropped to the ground.
The general instantly dismounted,
but almost as he raised the mans head
to his arm the poor fellow breathed
his last.

Her Seat on the Telegraph Wires.

A little thirteen-year old Pawnee
county, Kan, miss, Bertha Leonard
has lately given the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies an
unlimited amount of trouble in most
unique and peculiar way. Bertha S
daily duty was to herd and watch 4
large drove of cattle, whose range was
near the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular III
tervals during almost every day these
lines absolutely failed to work, and
the trouble seemed TO be somewhere
in the vicinity of where this girl rang
ed her fathers cattle, but, try as the
line repairers would. it could not be
definitely located. Finally it was dis
covered that Bertha. in order to get
better view of the herd, had driven
railroad spikes into a telegraph pole,
so that she could climb it, and that she
would, whenever she got weary watch
ing the cattle from the ground, climb
the pole, pull up a board by means of
cord place it across the wires, seat
herself on the board, and spend an
hour or two watching the herd from
her uniquely improvised elevated sta
ton. Whenever the board happened
to be damp or wet, and the frequent
rains this year have kept the board
wet most all the time, it destroyed the
electric current and practically cut off
all telegraph communication between
Denver and Kansas City.
When discovered and Informed of the
damage she was doing to the business
of the telegraph lines Bertha was
greatly surprised, and was apparently
utterly ignorant of the fact that her
seat on the wires interfered in the
slightest degree with the working OF
the lines.-Kansas City Times.

How S34s Was "Heap Plenty" in Set
Element of Claim for $4,000.
It is not so easy now to cheat the
Indians in bargaining as it was IN the
days when Manhattan Island was
bought from them for 1913. Their long
intercourse with the white men has
taught them many things about the
value of their possessions, and they
are pretty sharp in making the ordi-
nary trades which come up in their
daily life. Nevertheless, it is still true
that when 1t comes to question OF
large sums of money--thousands or
even hundreds of dollars---the average
Indian is bewildered at the mere idea
of so much wealth. An incident which
happened not long ago III New Mexico
illustrates this point.
An Indian, while crossing the tracks
of one of the railroads, had been killed
by train. His squaw demanded $3, 900
as an indemnity for the loss OF her hus-
band, and the company was willing
to settle the matter. So they sent TO
deal with the squaw a man who
had had considerable experience in ne
gotiating with the Indians. He took
with him several bags of "dobe, or
Mexican silver dollars, which pass free
ly among the Indians and settlers in
that part of the country. Sitting down
gravely with the aggrieved widow, he
began counting out the big shining dol
lars one by one. Whom the pile had
reached 100 he glanced inquiringly at
the squaw. But she shook her head
firmly. The agent went on with his
counting. At the end of another lOO
he looked up again. The squaw repeat,
ed the negative shake of her head, but
her eyes began to brighten at the heap
of silver. At 800 the agent paused a
little longer. His customer still held
out, though with unmistakable signs
of weakening. The agent counted more
slowly and impressively. When he
reached $348 the squaw stopped his
hand.
''Heap plenty, heap plenty" she
said, with decision, and gathering VI
the silver she accepted in perfect con
tentment this settlement of her claim
