The Burlington Trust company, which
has been receiving subscriptions for the
three per cent war lean bonds, closed it's
subscription books Tuesday, as the law
providing for the loan embodied pro-
vision that the subscription should close
ut the treasury department on Thursday.

of the loan can be gained from the fact
that the Burlington Trust company alone
has received subscriptions for over 500 900

A Croak From the Front

1t Is not necessary for the public TO
take seriously the hysterical seedlings
of Mr. Richard Harding Davis in regard
to the military situation in front of San
tiago de Cuba. His assumption of know
ledge and judgment superior to those of
the experienced soldiers who are direct
ing the operations there, can only excite
a smile. 1t has not been a picnic for our
soldiers. They are encounteHing some
rough experiences, but nothing indicates
impending disaster to our arms; nor need
any of us believe that our President and
generals have sent and led twenty thous-
and United States troops 10 certain death
or wholesale capture at Santiago.
When Mr.. Davis says that the brigade
commanders there demand that the gem
crai commanding should advance his
headquarters to the firi.s line. he is
plainly romauclns. No soldier believes
him. Gen. Skaters tent is so near the
enemy that hostile bullets have come
through It's canvas walls. If his head
quarters were much nearer the front line
he could not exercise proper command of
his army, whether he were well or Ill.
His courage has been too often tested UNI
Ger fire to be now called in question by
any renry-a-liner, or novelist lie holds
n medal Of honor, voted him by Congress
for distinguished galantry" at Fair
oaks, where though seriously wounded
he remained with his command to the
close of the battle; and he probably knows
about as well as the New York IIcrald's
special romancer. what is the proper po-
ation for his headquarters I'M front of
Santiago. They will soon, we doubt not,
be in, instead of in front of that city.

The Spanish officer who was exchanged
for Hobson, was Lieut. Aries of the First
provisional regiment OF Barcelona, one Of
the most aristocratic military organlza-
tons of the Spanish army. He was
wounded and captured in the fight at FL
Caney. For the seven sailors of Hobson's
party fourteen Spanish soldiers captured
at I'll Caney were exchanged. We thus
gave two for one, which, perhaps, was
about right any American being worth

A THORN APPLE Trip.

Oh, we went to the woods on a thorn apple
trip,
For the apples that blaze from the low branch's
tip!
For the sky was so blue,
The white clouds popping through,
There was nothing to do
But to give all the world and its people the
slip
And away to the woods on thorn apple trip.
Then the woodpecker bowed, in his gay scarlet
hood,
And the crow swung aloft in the tall cotton
wood
While he called his ''caw, cawi"
To lay down the law
To these strangers he saw
Then down under the fence in the best way we
could
And-all hail-we're at last in the thorn apple
woodl
Then rush for the trees and a fall or slip,
UP and onward again, with laugh and quip!
Now toss of stick,
Or limb shaken quick,
And the apples fall thick
AS the eager young robbers the bent branches
And hurrah for the woods and the thorn apple
tripl
For we went to the woods on a thorn apple
trip,
For the apples that blaze from the low branch,s
tip
Then hurrah for the sun
And the laugh and the fun,
For the tumble and run
And again with me Join in the loyal hip, hip,
Hurrah, for the woods and the thorn ample
tripl

Two Descriptions,

A Florida editor, describing a
tragedy in that state, says:
Like an assassin in the dark, with
stealthy, silent tread, tiptoeing, he
approached the bedside where beau
ty slept in sweet innocence. Posing
himself above the silent, peaceful
form, he grinned in devilish glee;
then, closing his eyes and gritting
his teeth, the keen bladed knife was
thrust into the warm, kind breast.
Not a word was uttered. He went
as he had come-silently, stealthily.
The deed was done"
Compare the above agony with
the brief, breezy description of a
Georgia editor, writing on a similar
subject
Like snake he crope through
the window, set his foot on the floor,
stood over the bed where Uncle Bill.
ly was allyn, reached for his pants
and took out $16-all the money
Uncle Billy had in the world-then
cropped back to the window, swung
himself out and slid right into the
arms of the high sheriff of the coun-
ty. Atlanta Constitution.

Lincoln and the Reporters.

When Joseph Medill was in the
city, he was entertained at dinner,
at which he told many interesting
stories about Lincoln. Mr.. Medill
was, with Mr.. Hit, one of the corps
of reporters who followed Lincoln
in the great debates with Douglas. .
You will all remember" said
Mr.. Medill, "that after Lincoln had
been nominated he was asked to
speak at Cooper Union, in New
York. The eastern people knew
nothing about him, and they desired
to see and hear him. Lincoln pre-
pared a speech and gave copies to,
quite a number of us, requesting
that we study it carefully and make
such corrections and suggestions as
we saw fit. Well, l took my copy
and went over it very carefully, and
finally made about 40 changes. The
others to whom the address had
been submitted were equally care
full, and they made several amend
ments. When the speech was final
ly delivered, it was exactly word for
word with the original copy which
Lincoln gave us. Not a change sug-
gested had been adopted. Inever
knew whether Lincoln intended to
play joke on us, or whether he
really believed that the alterations
were not effective. 1 never men
toned the matter to him, and he
said nothing more to me. To tell
the truth, I was not exactly proud
of the part played in the matter"

London Barber ShoDs.

Visitors to London from America
! are always complaining that there
are no up to date barber shops. In
comparison our shops are kingly.
This is partially explained by the
fact that most Englishmen who de-
sire shaving, hair cutting and sham
pooling keep Wallets, who are to be
had for a very small sum. Still
there are thousands of gentlemen in
London who cannot afford a per-
sonal attendant and would appreci-
ate a we'll kept barber shop. AS for
wealthy Americans, even those who
keep Wallets, they sometimes like to
enter barber shop, but when in
London they cannot do this unless
they patronize certain of the new
hotels which have been compelled,
solely because of the insistence of
American travellers, to put in up to
date barber shops.-San Francisco.
