HIS HAPPIEsr MOMENT.

John" she asked, cuddling up to
him, for 1t was the seventh anniver-
sary of their marriage. "what$vas the
happiest moment of your life?"
All, dear, he replied, 4 remember
1t well. shall never forget it. If l live
to be hundred years old that moment
win always stand out plainly as 1t does
tonight"
She sighed and nestled little closer,
looking longingly up into his honest
blue eyes. After moments silence she
urged:
yes, but John dearest, you haven't
told me when it was"
"Oh" he answered, II thought you
had guessed it. Surely it ought to be
easy enough for you to do SO. 1t was
when you came to me last fall, il YOU
remember and told me that you had
decided to trim over one of your old
hats so as to make 1t do for the win
ter"
Then the celebration of the seventh
anniversary Of their marriage became
formal and uninteresting.

CHAMPAIGN DOCUMENT,
At Least Not So Intended, Yet Likely TO
Prove Potent One.
(From the New York sun.)

(From the New York SUM-
This was not intended as a campaign
document. It is simply the spontaneous
expression of the opinion of one Of the
Rough Riders about the man who led
him up the hill on a certain occasion:
Attached is a very weak way of ex-
pressing it. He commanded our respect
from the first, then he won by his fear
lessness and total Indifference to danger
repeated fights made for our welfare, in
fact undying devotion from the time the
fighting was over till we were mustered
out, he won our everlasting love, He is
the only man l ever came In contact with
that. when bidding farewell, I felt a
wanted to hug him. lie did more n nSSif for US
than will ever be told. I believe that
there is not O man in the regiment NOT
indebted to him for some personal favor
We could go. to him with our trouble at
it was his officers, not the men / shall
never forget as long as l live his words
In his acceptance of the bronze we pre-
sented him Of Remington's bronco bus
ter. We We're round him in a hollow
square, with the officers In the centre
1t sounds fiat perhaps to you, but we
were about to part; there were tears in
his honest blue eyes as he turned to his
officers and said And l know that nv
officers here won't mind my saying, for I
can't help It, that just q little bit nearer
lilSn Trey are you, my men on the out
side. We didn't cheer but we had con
siderable business with our coat sleeves
for few moments"
The Rough Rider who draws this
portrait is Private Bill Bell, the only
member of the regiment who comes
from South Dakota. Private Bell was on
his way home, and at Dell Rapids he
met a reporter of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune, who asked him, among other
questions, If the Rough Riders were
much attached to their colonel.
1t isn't campaign document, we re-
peat. Private Bill Bell is paying no at
tention to contemporaneous political
events.
1t Is good thing to possess such a
certificate Of genuine manhood as that
and It is a better thing to have de-
served it.

There will be some interest to see
what sort Of platform the historian
and Arena editor John Clark Ridpath,
will nail together for the democratic
state convention which meets in this
city tomorrow. If, as now seems in
evitable George Fred Williams is to be
nominated again, free silver will have
to be endorsed with emphasis, yet the
democratic club has already pro-
nounced against this. The selection
Of Mr.. Ridpath as platform maker
seems peculiarly inappropriate, since
history is the last thing that free
silver platform maker should ever dali
ly with. There cannot be any point
ing with pride" in this business.

A chrome is offered to the man who

Gen. Wood Is quoted as an advocate
of the plan of giving the Cuban SOL
diers money and tools and sending
them home, even though this will in
volve an expense of s1,5OO,OOO. Gen.
Wood recognizes the Importance of
finding employment for the insurgents
and getting them to work as soon as
possible. That is the foundation of the
regeneration Of the province. The
complete devastation of war has left
the people without resources, and it is
desirable that these should be supplied
1t has been suggested that the soldiers
might be prof1tably employed upon pub
lie works in and around the principal
cities. but this would afford only par
tial relief, and it would not be perma-
nent. The great point is to start the
native industries in full operation, at
the earliest possible moment, and re-
store the people to the habits and con-
ditions Of peace. At the close of the
American revolution the continentals
were offered grants of land, and many
of them went west to develop the
country. That device is not practicable
in Cuba. Land is not what is needed,
but food and tools or the money where
with to purchase them.

The posthumous revelations con
corning Bismarok's political and dip
lomatic methods, particularly his scan
dalous use of the reptile press" will
go far toward winning unqualified APP
probation for Emperor William for
finally and irrevocably shelving the
iron chancellor. Bismarck was the
ablest man in European politics, and
he came very near being the Ablest
villain as well. His duplicity was as
amazing as his unscrupulousness was
audacious.

The people of Porto Rico have shown
their detestation of the Spaniards from
the first moment of our occupancy of
the island; all classes in Cuba are anx-

now the Filipinos say they will fight

Spanish rule. Why cannot the latter
come here and go into politics. Demo-

NOW AS TO MR.. HALE.
Mr.. Philip Hale Writes This in The
Boston Sunday Journal.

concert Of the Worcester festival the day

cepted the statement made in the pro-
gram book by, Mr.. Walter NJ Lancaster,
whose desire for accuracy is well known
to readers of those books
For Dido read 'Cassandra' who was
not the queen of Carthage, no, not the
same.
''The mistake was a righteous judgment
for In the same article ] hammered Mr.
ment
Dear brethren. we all live in glass
houses, Therefore let us all throw
stones"
Thanksl The substitution was men
toned, also, in the Saturday Spy, for
Miss Stein did not sing Didos words
The Dido aria was given to the com
piler OF the program book by one in
authority as the aria Miss Stein in
tended to sing. He could hardly take
the responsibility of writing up a song
she was not expected to sing.

The Springfield Republicans critic,
also, is one of those who think. that ex-
pectations were unduly exaggerated, in
the case Of the recent music festival.
and that one year is not long enough
for a new conductor to accomplish
what was anticipated of him. Though
these expectations were not all full
filled, the chorus. nevertheless. did
some of the best" work heard in re-
cent years, and disparagement is "as
unjust as the expectations Of the fes-
tival were thoughtless." Courage and
persistency win probably bring the full
fillment of the utmost desires.

Lion hunting was one of the favorite
pastimes Of last week, and it seems to
have resulted in a number of surprises.
That is apt to be the case with this
more or less exciting sport. Yet, the
hunters never cease to wonder that
men and women of artistic tempera-
ment, be they actors, writers, painters
or musicians, are very much like other
people. Some Of them are affable,
bright and interesting socially, others
are dull and forbidding. Some are

Stunning. Some are persons of informa-
ton and broad culture. and others ap-
parently know nothing outside Of their
