goes. In fashionable restaurants Span- ish mackereI are never eaten, while in
 all the comic operas the Spanish dances are entirely omitted.
 But, testing aside, hasn't it been love- ly to see how the north and the south
 have met together and how apprecia- tive the men in power have been of our
 splendid southern fighters? Why. when the biograph shows a picture of Fitz- Hugh Lee and the orchestra plays Dixie" women bang their umbrellas on the floor because that makes more
 noise than clapping, small boys yell
 "Hurrahl" and the men-why, the men
 join in the song and applaud the dis
 tinguished gentleman who may occupy any position that the United States can
 give him provided he wishes it. The Lees are gentlemen, and it takes gen. tleman to be a fighter, even if he is only a gentleman of one generation and can not write his own name. But how sturdy
 the Lees have beeni They fought
 for the colonies in the war of inde-
 pendence they fought for what they
 believed was right in the civil war, and
 now their great representative offers
 his hand to fight with and to greet his brave brothers whether they come
 from Maine Oregon, New York or
 Texas.
 But to return to the present war.
 Did the Spaniard ever attract you? To
 me he always seemed like colored icing
 on pound cake. It looks pretty enough,
 but everybody breaks it off before eat ing a bit of the cake. They have al- ways been traitors and always brutes. Tenderness in Spaniard is an un- known quantity. At ordinary times he | is rated as a beast, in war he is a coward, and when you think how he l treats women and children what name l is bad enough for him? The war today
 brings back to me all the stories that
 have been told me of that last war
 when brother fought against brother
 and friends became enemies. In Balti-
 more, as all the world knows, there was great deal of strong feeling, but as the city was always held by the army l in power some very funny and some l very sad stories are told. The funniest
 have heard was about a young woman
 whose sweetheart was in the southern
 army. She hung out of the window of
 her bedroom, which fronted on the
 street, what seemed to be a black flag
 and a black flag, as you know, means Sedltlon. Tn very IeW minutes company of soldiers came to the house.
 rang the bell and asked for her mother Her mother knew nothing about it. The
 girl was brought down, looking as in-
 nocent as a baby and when she was in- formed that she was to be arrested for daring to do such a thing, for daring to defy the authorities, she began to laugh and said: Why, captain, that is
 not a black flag! That is only my grandmother's shawl pinned on a
 broomstick and hung out to air!" The l captain, being human, hid his twitch- l ing lips behind his hand and then ad- vised her that in the future when her 1 grandmother's black shawl needed air l ing it would be best to hang it on a clothesline in the back yard. And didn't that girl laugh! And doesn't she tell

that story today to her own children. and yet-and yet one of her boys was on the Maine!
 But when a regiment was going through the city in those days = ah, that meant, something, for it was a company of southern prisoners being taken to a northern prisonl The law allowed anything in the shape of some thing to eat to be handed from the pavement to any soldier by any person, but speech was not permitted. When the word came, my old nanny, who has told me of this a hundred times, began to make big tinfuls of coffee, while her assistant baked hot rolls. and the mistress of the house busted her self fixing sandwiches and tying up lit- tie packages of tobacco or cigars. Just think of 1t! You could stand on the curbstone and hand cup of coffee to the man you loved dearly, and yet you couldn't say one word.

She was clinging to great big six foot CT, crying as if her heart would break. while he was telling her what he would do when he came back, and l. the look CT on, could not but think, Will he ever come back?"

 I had always said there was not one drop of patriotic blood in my veins. At one time I even belonged to peace so- ciety and should still be member; but, alas for me--or for them-they rais- ed the fees, and I, not having had much fun in peace for nothing, concluded there would be even less in paying for it. You see, there was little trouble about me when I made my original bow into the world. came just at the end of the war, and my maternal parent has a fashion of referring to me as "a peace child" which means that was depriv- ed of all pleasure, as far as fighting was concerned, and that I never knew the delights, except by hearsay, of being as defiant and bitter and as altogether warlike as only woman can be. It is hard not to have been born either in 1872 or 1860.
 In days gone by I have listened to war stories from men and women who were some black some white. The one who told the most interesting story gained my ear, color having no influ- ence. Then, too, I possess hand or gan that plays Maryland, My Mary land" Dixie and The Bonnie Blue Flag" and whenever I have felt a weakening toward the land we live in I have literally ground myself into noble state of patriotic feeling. But now-now I hang out of a window in my dressing gown and wildly cheer at regiments that have gone to seek vic tory or-no, there is no "or" about it. They have gone to seek victory, and they mean to have it. We mayn't have the clear hidalgo blood in us, but we have got such a splendid mix ture of good fighting material, coming in a direct line from the kings of Ire- land, the fine middle class of England and the big, strong, determined Ger mans, all of whom make native Ameri- cans, that do believe, with Sousa lead ing the band we could lick any nation except-well, mo- I won't except Eng land, because she is so fond of us just now that rather than see us in trouble she would step forward, with Tommy Atkins and all her wonderful ships by her side, and we would have an Anglo American alliance that would own the earth and the fullness thereof.
 When women are patriotic, they are intensely so. There is nothing in the way of a middle course about them Just now they are wearing red, white and blue belts, red, white and blue rib bons on their hats. and I have heard whisper it gently.-that one fearless creature wears a red white and blue garter, with a "dadger" stuck through it in such a way that more harm can come to her and less, I think, to the Spanish spy for whom it is intended, since in a moment of excitement and considering the difficulty of raising a ruffled skirt she might mistake the han dle for the point. Another girl who loved her country with all her heart endured agonies of pain for which a mustard plaster was of no use, and she suffered and was strong rather than have Spanish flies put on her, and so it

ous Americans takes place to Europe. where they spend their hard earned dol lars decking themselves in the finery of the foreign milliners, modistes and tai lorS. Every year the craze for foreign made clothing has been increasing, an evidence being seen in the protest that the Dingley tax brought out, tax which many of the American trades people insisted should not be removed.
 As most of the American milliners and dressmakers are women, they will be especially interested in the trade as- pect of the war. The fashion of going abroad for the seasons wardrobe was started by that leisure class in Amer ica whose great aim is to ape old world modes of living. Fashionable American men are just as anxious that it shall be known that their clothes are ordered from Poole as American women are to refer to Worth or any of his fellow Frenchmen. There are indeed many London and Partisan firms who depend almost exclusively on the American trade A season without an American invasion. as in the Chicago exposition year, is serious thing for the two great capitals of Europe. Yet in the almost inconceivable possibility of blockade of New York harbor by a Spanish fleet Americans would only be able to cross the Atlantic sailing under the British flag and by the Canadian route.
 There Is no reason, however, to sup pose that on this account American wo- men will be less well dressed than usu- al. Most of the great foreign milliners, tailors and dreSsmakers have repre- sentatives in this country who are quite able to do as good work as the Parisian or London houses if the customers could only be induced to believe it. Ameri- can tradesmen competing with these people side by side will have a better chance than ever to win the hearts of the fashionable world away from Worth, Redfern and Virot. When wo- man has chance to compare the hats and bonnets of the American millner with those of his next door neighbor, a Frenchman, she can see that the Amer can is if anything little more skillful than the foreigner and more reasonable as to charges. The competition between foreign and domestic trade then be- comes an equal one. The war there- fore will mean more business for Amer tcan tradeswomen and more work and better prices for American workwomen.
 The demand for patriotic garments Is one that no foreign workers are likely to satisfactorily meet.

Hussar jackets and soldiers kepis were worn by English girls when Yelling ton was a popular hero. Garibaldi's famous red shirt was adopted by admir- ing womankind in Rome and St. Peters burg. in Paris and New York in Lon- don and in Melbourne. Military frogs and braids always appear, like an epi- demic. in wartimes.
 American women are wearing mill tary buttons from soldiers coats set into their parasol handles, mounted as hatpins or dangling from bracelets. The visit of the young czar and czarina to Paris, with the cementing of Franco Russian alliance, has dressed the civ ilized feminine world for the last two years in a garment fashioned like a moujik's blouse.
 Who knows if, with the freedom of Cuba, American women may not large ly adopt those graceful Cuban fashions, the mantilla, the comb and the single rose behind the ear? A solitary flower placed at the back of the ear used to be the trump card of the heroine in novels. No man was ever known to re- sist it.
 Another result may come of the Unit ed States going to war with European power The great fortunes may remain in the country in which they were made instead of being used to pay the bach. elor debts of impecunious French, Eng. fish and Italian noblemen. The rich American girl may make up her mind to marry the American young man. De- prived of her presentation at the court Of St. James, her London season and her English country house visits. she may have leisure to make the &C., quaintance at Newport and at Lenox of her own more eligible countrymen.
 The American woman's passion for luxury, for jewelry. flowers, dress, pie lures, special trains, horses, yachts. mansions in town and country and all that they entail is not a desirable sign in SD young country.

"C'est un peuple qui SC perdra par le luxe!" This from the lips of "an effete European who had lived long enough in Wash ington and New York to know what he was talking about was a sufficiently startling ultimatum.

What especially attracts the atten- tion of travellers to the Philippine is- lands is the intelligence and superior refinement of the native women These include those of the old Indian race that first inhabited the islands and of which there are now but a few left in the high lands; also the Malayans and those of mixed race. The Malayans form by far the larger part of the population. A Malayan belle is even by Caucasian standards an attractive looking crea- ture. Kind and gentle. with never failing fund of good humor, it is not much wonder that Europeans who have lived in the Philippines say that the Malayan women make the best of house servants.
 Not all the native women are unedu- cated. The padres have schools in the vicinity of the churches, where all who wish may learn to read and write. The native women are very expert with the needle and have great taste for mu- sic. Languages they learn readily and speak in a very sweet and musical tone. Sewing machines are used in the is- lands. and on these some of the wo-

men are able to do great quantity of sewing.
 The houses are, as a rule, little two roomed huts, but owing to the summer temperature that almost always pre- vails the family spends most of it's time , on the piazza. The women's jewels are rich and rare in their way. Not all the natives are poor. Those of mixed blood especially are often in very prosperous circumstances and have an aristocracy of their own.
 Bracelets of gold, with a bangle some- thing like a small bedspring, are fash ionable as also are the earrings of al- most crude gold. Sometimes these or- naments have been handed down in the owners family from generation to gen. eration. Some of the handsomest are shaped like stars and rhomboids. Like all slightly civilized peoples, the Phil- ippine native women are very proud of their gems and jewels. and don them with pride for the dances which occur almost every evening on the piazzas of the larger village houses.

 Patriotism is great virtue. It brings
 out all that is best or worst in you and
 in me. It makes people true = true to
 the land in which they have made their
 homes and true to all men who, like
 them, know what it is to love the very
 ground they walk on and which they
 call 'my country" But there are good
 and bad patriots, so called patriots, who
 do an immense amount of yelling for Spanish blood, read all the extras pub-
 lished and then when another soldier is needed to go to the front pay a substi- tute to be brave for them. There are good patriots who are not afraid to fight, but who have sense enough to know when the hour for the battle is at hand.
 There are bad patriots who have fam lilies of the size of the ancient Hebrews, great in number and appetite, who throw up their posts as shipping clerks
 that they may chance getting gold
 epaulets and gain glory, while the fam fly finds that glory is not filling when it is desperately hungry for more ma terial stuff.
 There are good patriots who do much thinking before deciding, much sensi- ble giving and much in the way of car ing for the girl who is left behind And that girl? Oh, she is made of mighty poor metal if she doesn't send her boy. whether he is jolly boy of 50

Julian Breaks His Promise and Goes
BACK To Jail.
Great Falls, March 1.-Early in De-
cember last, Louis Adolph Julian was
arrested on the complaint of Mrs. Lara,
who lives on the west side. 1t was
shown by the testimony at the trial that
he was infatuated over her ana mace
himself a nuisance, even going so faf
as to break into the house and declare
his love for Mrs Laird, who is widow
woman He was bound over for year
to keep the peace and as he was unable
to furnish the bond, he was committed
to jail.
Yesterday, the authorities. believing
that sufficient time had elapsed to cure
him of his passion, he was turned loose
on his solemn promise to go to work at
Stockett and to leave Mrs. Laird strict
ly alone. Unfortunately he had no
sooner been set free than he went TO
dl mixing. and before night had found
out Mrs. Laird and, under threats. had
made her promise to meet him this al
ternoon on the corner of Central ave-
nue. near the Great Fails National bank.
She at once informed the sheriff and
plans We're laid by his office to attend
the tryst.
Julian spent the day in getting more
| whiskey and promptly at o'clock this
| afternoon he was at the place of meet
! ing Mrs Laird was also there and
| Sheriff Proctor was just around the
| corner where he might hear all the
! billing and cooling, which was out Of
! the ordinary. The two had not talked
! but a minute before Julian became
! oVerdemonstrative for street etiquette
and the sheriff interfered.
/ Julian and Mrs. Laird went with him
| before Justice Burleigh. There Mrs.
Laird declared that she was afraid that
Julian, if at large, would do hep some
| harm. Julian broke in with, mo, Mrs.
Laird, no hurt you, for why? Because
/ love you So The judge failed to see
that Julian's love would be any great
safeguard for the woman, and he or
dered Julian recommitted on the old
| charge. Then Julian made a hard fight
for his liberty. Sheriff Proctor was at
a disadvantage, as he mas not yet re
| covered from the broken shoulder re-
ceived in an accident last month, and
his deputy, Al Reynolds, came to the
! rescue. Even then 1t was no easy task
to get Julian into the street for he only
gave up after he had used all of his
! strength in the fight He was at last
landed in Jail and is likely to remain
| there for some time.

New York March 1.-THE stock market
took on so we'll defined character to-
day until after the publication of the
statement attributed TO the secretary or
the navy that the element OF Spanish OFF,
cial responsibility for the Maine explo-
sion might be considered to be eliminated
from the situation. This was in the last
hour of the session and the whole snort
interest apparently rushed to cover. the
short lines have been put out in the last
few DAYS on the developments following
the Maine disaster. There had been cover
ing of shorts early in the day on account
of the continuation of the war movement,
but a little later short selling developed
on the theory that the market would GER
tajnIy sag again after the large short IN
terest had been covered. The market had
apparently swung to standstill and was
drifting rather aimlessly, yielding when a
blying movement set in on the Long
statement and the trading took on all
the appearance of a runaway bun market
Some of the advances were violent. Met

movement the former showing an eN-

two rising points each.
The whole list felt the upward move
ment to a noticeable extent. Buying Tor

early dealings. There was some recovery
