is conceded. and his energy in all things

'"But one OF the letters received deep

staff OF Cen. Sherman, and also served
in the same capacity on the staff of

by saying that the record of the war

he is best fitted 10 serve his country,
and that he viii respond TO any order
that may be issued. and will do his duty,
to the lest Of his ability, wherever he
may be directed to serve.

off in the Great Bend (Kan.) Democrat:
"When can read my title clear to a
well-stocked Kansas farm, then discon-
tent will disappear and life will have
some charm. Should chinchbugs by
the millions come, and drought my
prospects blight, I'd stick still closer to
my home and strive with all my might.
And next year, with a crop of oats, of
wheat and corn and rye, I'll lift my
mortgages and notes, and lay some
money by. Then in peaceful, happy
strain, of Kansas l will sing-the sunny
land of golden grain, where yellow corn
is king"

According to French writer 90 per
cent. of all cannibals eat the dead in
order to glorify them; 10 per cent. eat
great warriors in order that they may
inherit their courage, and eat dead chill
dren in order to renew their youth;
ten per cent. partake of their near
relatives from religious motives, either
in connection with initiatory rites or
to glorify deities, and per cent. feast
for hatred in order to ayenge them
selves upon their enemies. Those who
devour human flesh because of famine
are reckoned as 1s per cent. In short
deducting all these there remains only
proportion of "a per cent. who par
take of human flesh because they pre-
fer it to other means of fallmentation.

The little Brooklyn boy who offered
his entire fortune of 4s cents to presi-
dent Mckinley to buy warship to re-
place the Maine, had predecessor in
the war of 1912. He is known to his
tory simply as "Billy," and was only
nine years old. lie was the only son
of widow, and the crew of Capt De-
catur's frigate United States had adopt
ed him. When the Macedonian hove in

Commodore Decatur. "And it please
you, captain" he said, "I wish my name
might be put down ON the roll" "And
what for, my lad?' inquired the COM
mander. $50 that can draw u share
Of the prize money, sir" answered he.
Pleased with the spirit of the little hero,
his name was ordered on the list. After
the prize was taken, Decatur called up
the little sailor-boy. We'll, Bill" said
he, "we have taken her, and your share
CT the prize, if we get her safe in, will
be about 5000. What will you do with
it?" "l'll send onehalf of 1t to my
mother, sir, and the other half shall
send me to school," Delighted with the
spirit of the lad, the commodore took
him under his immediate protection,
and obtained for him the berth of II

\ Washington report says that Sepa-

the other day to present n claim which
he said had personal interest to him.
He had presented many pension cases,
but this one was closely connected with
his family, and he wanted to ask its
prompt consideration as a personal
favor. The pensioner was an adopted
sister. You see, my parents had q
small family, and they adopted two
girls, and this is one of them," said the
senator. I'VE only had Il children in
my fathers family, and the place was
so quiet that mother couldn't stand it,
so she adopted these girls" Commits
sioner Evans said the case was one that
appealed to his sympHthies.

1t is interesting TO be informed in
this crisis between the United States
and Spain, that the 12-year-old king
OF Spain has just undergone, in the
presence of his mother, of his relatives
and of the principal dignitaries of the
court and realm, an examination in
mathematics, in which, according to
the solemn official announcement of
the affair in the Royal Gazette, he
achieved remarkable success. 1t is
not stated what problems were put to
him for solution, but the chances are
that the figures had no relation to
Spain's national debit and how long it
is going to take to pay for it. That,
says the Boston Herald, would puzzle
the ablest mathematician and pubiicist.

There was man in Galveston, Tex,

was carrying property to the value of

representing Boston stamp company,

of the northwest, and the turning point
was San Francisco, where he sold about
$4,000 worth, $4,5O0 worth going to one
man, who bought few-just few.

An interesting case of broken con-
tract has come to light in a New Haven
court, where former Representative
Michael P. Harding, of Brantford,
Conn, asked for reduction in the
amount of attachment which his sis
ter had placed upon his various prop
critics. Thirty years ago Mr.. and Miss
Harding made compact never to mar
ry, but to live always for each other,
In 1896 the man broke the compact and
attachments of O,9OO were the result
of suit for that amount for services
at the rate of $50 a month instituted by
the sister. The judge was as kind as
he was wise and reduced the attach
ments to $1,000.

the present administration who served
in the army during the war of the re-
bellon. President Mckinley entered
the service as private soldier, and
was mustered out us a captain and

rank was conferred. as the records of

October ., 1861. lie was promoted to
be major, lieuennnt colonel and
colonel. was severely wounded, ard was
breveted EviEadier general and major
gncral, "for gallant and meritorious
service during the civil war"
President Mckinley was only is years
of age and Gen. Algcr was 25 years
of age, when the war began. The
difference in their ages may somewhat
account for the fact That Gen. AIger
outstripped the stripling Mckinley
| during the four years of the civil war.
| After the war Mckinley studied and
| prnct'"ed law, and came to congress.
and then became governor of Ohio and
president of the United States. Gen.
Aiger possesses business instinct, and
he went to Michigan, engaged in va
