SHORT NEWS STORIES.
She Sent the Governor For Ribbons A
Story About General Lee-Didn't
Go There to Gossip.

81 have learned that parrots and
girls sometimes talk too much and too
carelessly," remarked pretty girl
"You see, was doing the Nashville
exposition under the most deli ghtful
auspices. l was also collecting SOU
venirs, verything from badges to food
specimens.
"Pretty soon found myself talking
with IA pair of merry eyes and an ex-
pansive forehead. He had dream of
gold fringed sash crossed about his
breast, more Masonic. military and So
ciety badges than l could count and
shining pair of epaulets. Summoning
my most fetching smile, asked for an
epaulet.
my colonel looked rather surprised
and expressed his regret that he was not
at liberty to comply with my request,
adding that he was booked for con-
spicuous position in the parade to take
place later on.
Now, colonel, said l, growing
bold, don't you say no to anything.
Can't L have a single ribbon of all your
gorgeousness?'
Sorry murmuEed the polite colo
mel, but I'll tell you what l will do.
I'll get you some pieces of ribbon cor
responding in color to my badges. It's
the nearest can come to giving the
badges themselves.
All right, colonel, I assented; but
don't be too long, colonel, for l may
have to go any minute
with proud bow the colonel with
drew, and just at that moment papa
came up with smiling remark about
my catching very big fish in my con-
versational net after the manner of
teasing fathers.
"'Oh, he was rather nice, retorted
in an otfhand manner. Il have just sent
him to get me some ribbons. He refused
utterly to part with any of his own dec
orations.
"'Sent him to get you some ribbons"
gasped my astonished father. Sent the
governor of Tennessee for ribbons?'
"'Who? | almost shrieked.
Why, the governor-the governor
of this state. Child, that was Governor
Bob Taylor you were talking to-
Papa and groaned out miserere
duet, and l simply flew from the spot.
l heard that the governor returned short
ly afterward with the ribbons and a box
of bonbons, and he was greatly disap-
pointed because l was not present to re-
ceive them. During the remainder of
my stay in Nashville | devoted myself
to keepinp ont of the Way of Governor

Spain S loss in ships alone growing
out of the recent conflict in Manila
harbor aggregates 81, 700, 900. Esti-
mated at their market value, which is
much less than Spain paid for them, the
figures in round numbers are Don Juan

900; Velasco, 5000, 900; Castillo, $780,

Mindanao 500, 600, and others, ST.

smaller part only of Spain's loss when
the slaughter of her men, together with

Unreconstructed Bishop Winners Appli-
cation of 1t to His Work.
This is story an Alabama man tells
me of Bishop Wilmer, and l hope you
won't think it too sectional. 1t happen
ed soon after the war. Bishop Wilmer
had gone to a northern city to ask aid
for Confederate orphans home he was
interested in. He hadn't been north for
several years, and his old friends gave
him a hearty welcome. There was a
dinner in his honor, and after dinner the
bishop was begged to tell story or
two. The bishop said he hadn't story.
But" he added, "I've got conun-
drum. Why are we southerners like
Lazarus?"
The guests-they were all Union
men, by the way-suggested many an
swers. The southerners We're like LaZ-
arus because they We're poor, because
they ate of the crumbs from the rich
man S table because-because of every
thing anybody could guess
NO." said the bishop, you're all
wrong. We're like Lazarus because"
and he smiled blandly, because we've
been licked by dogs"
A roar of laughter went round at
that, for the bishops utter unrecon-
structedness was always one of his
charms Everybody laughed but one
mottle faced man, who became very
indignant. '''
"Well, - he snorted, eff you think
we're dogs, why in-not earth-have
you come up here to beg for our money
for the money of dogs?"
The bishop chuckled. ID.
"My mottled friend" said he, "the
hair of the dog is good for the bite,

The Absurd Confederate Parallel.

Various timid and lll-informed news
ing that our contest with Spain may
be long and dreadful.
There is no possible parallel between
the two cases. 1t is simply preposter-
Gus.
|. First of all, Confederates were
Americans, not Spanlards-an i'm
portant difference.
>, Their armies were commanded by
some of the very ablest West Pointers
then living, including Lee, jackson,
the two Johnstons, Beauregard, Long
street, Stuart and others, soldiers
equal to any that war has ever pro-
duced.
3, These Americans stood face to
face with the Union armies from the
very outset. They were not trans
ported 1000 miles. They fought on
their own ground.
t, They numbered half million
fighting men. whereas Spain has not
more than 10000 effective soldiers in
Cuba and cannot land any more.
>, They had their homes, their corn
fields, their cattle pastures, their pig
pens and their smoke-houses at their
backs. They had 100000 negro
farm hands to raise food supplies
while the white men fought. They
had resources such as poor. bankrupt
and revolution racked Spain has not
had in century.

transit facilities, food production, in
ternatlonal credit and all other re
sources. Plus also all the teaching of
that costly war lesson, plus ex-
perienced officers and soldiers still
ready for duty, and plus powerful
navy.
The country that faces S; ain is
quite five times as potent as was the
divided country that tried conclusions
with itself in 1851. Comparison in
such IA case is simply absurd.-New

The Land We Live In.
Some newspaper, unable to cope
with loathsome competitor, ,"tells on
ITSELF. in the following descriptive
sketch;
We live in land of high mountains and
high taxes. low valleys and low wages, big
crooked rivers and big wobbly statesmen,
big lakes big strikes, big drunks, big
pumpkin heads, silver streams that gambol
in the mountains and pious politicians
who gamble IN the night, roaring cataracts
and roaring orators, fast trains and fast
horses, fast young men and girls fast,
f,ster, fastest, sharp toed shoes, noisy chill
dren, fertile plains that lie like a sheet of
water, and thousands of newspapers that lie
like thunder.

speaker. Nov what sin has the city

with such visitation? Two years ago

and Kiefer himself, good and great
statesman that he is-advocated Doran
They said that what the city wanted
was a man like Doran. Now Kiefer
says that what the city needs is to
get rid Of Doran. Now. If Kiefer was

so bad, who Is going to be sponsor for
Kiefer? Poor old Doran is turned down
and Kissed out Of the convention by

and he was called on for speech The
doctors superb aplomb stood him In
good stead, and he told them in classic
English that he was not ready to

one thing Of which there might be
some sort of a doubt. The medical
profession would be with Schiffmann
siasm by his eulogy Of the doctor and
other candidates, and said their COM

Yoerg in place Of McCardy, that the
latter might never have another op-

eve of bankruptcy.
