The NAN in THE CHOOSE,

Let ME tell you little story, In these
days OF war, which has some relation
ship to these other days Of another war
which good many people now living
have read about, but which good
many more now living were not born
early enough to see.
BY occupation I am drummer. This
Is suggestive Of 1.-The military line, but
that Is not the nkind Of a drummer I
am. My line is notions, and during the
past thirty years have spent most OF
my time on the3road. 1t is restless
sort of occupationt but I really like it.
L took to 1t naturally. When I was
mustered out OF the army in 1865, I
realized that Iahad acquired rowing
habits during the war, which seemed
to render it impossible for me to set
tie down to any pursuit In any one
place. So l took to the business Of
a travelling salesman and have contin-
ued in the sameIline ever since.
There are a good many things about
the business that like. 1t Is life Of
change; and if i possessed the faculty
of writing storycbooks 1 think I could
string out pretty lively and inter
estlng volume of incidents, some Of
which would make you laugh, some Of
which would make you cry, and some
of which would leave you in a condi-

others seemed to pity rather than adj
mire. This at the time attributed to
jealousy, envy or ignorance. l know
better now. l know what the Bolivian
mail coach is. 1 had my first sight of
1t at 6 o'clock Of the morning of my
starting.
1t was the baggage wagon of the
stage, and the only seat on it was the
one with the driver. 1t was, in fact,
a skeleton wagon on springs. The bed
was so far up in the air that you could
almost walk under 1t without STOPPING.
The wagon box was not ever six inches
high, and how it was supposed that a
ton and half of mail and trunks
could be put into it l could not see. I
had my baggage hurried out, and it
went In at the bottom. The other pieces
were piled on top until there was a
mountain of stuff on the wagon. 1t
now looked mere like hay Wa gon COM
ing to the barn in harvest time than
the royal mail. A raWhide rope was
bound round and round the baggage,
being run through hooks in the sides
of the wagon bsd, and the baggage was
covered with canvas to shield it from
the rain. BY this time the mules were
in their places, and l was told to climb
to my seat beside the driver. 1t was
a. least seven or eight feet above the
ground, and the soft side of the board
was the only cushion, until / improVis-
ed another of some blankets.
The coach rode, however, very COM
fortably, and the springs were as good
as any 1 have ever tried. A great dis
comfort was the lack of cover when it
rained and showed, as it did several

dations on one Of the most travelled
roads of this country.
The fare on the mule trails is far
worse. AS to prOspectOrs and those who
get away from the beaten tracks, there
is often no chance to get anything. The
only places where you can sleep are in
the huts Of the Indians, and they will
not allow you to come in if they can
possibly prevent 1t. They do not like
strangers, and money seems to be no
inducement to them. The only way to
get nights shelter in such cases is to
tell your muleteer to unsaddle and to
go in and take possession Of the best
part of the hut If there is anything
at hand which is eatable, take it, and
give the Indian some money for it. If
you ask to buy 1T he will refuse, and
even if he has plenty he will say he
has nothing. The chances are that
when you leave in the morning, having
paid him for your nights lodging, ne
will be pleased, but he will offer you
nothing and will give as little as he
can. AS rule, they are towards, and
they will submit to great deal of
abuse without fighting.
POORER THAN CHINA.
the people have to work so hard for a
bare living as on this Bolivian plat au.
1t is bad enough in China ard India,
where the poorer classes live in mud
huts, and till to the utmost their little
patches Of land. But in these c u-tries
the land will produce three crops year
and the laborers get something for their
work. Here 1t is so high that only po-

days later, and before my orders could
be filled. And 1, have had abundant
cause for JOY over my part in bring
ing together two Of the noblest repre-
sentatives Of American man and wom-
arhood that / ever met. And may
appropriately add that two sons, the
issue Of that happy union, are following
in war the flag of that government
from which their heroic sire disdained
to accept a pension for services rem
dered and wounds endured in its cause.

discovery of him, continued to be iden-
titled in my list of friends as THE

priately and honorably be designated
as THE Hero Without a Pension"

In SOCIAL CIRCLES,

The A. O. U. W. basket social Tues
das evening was favored with a rather
small attendance, and of course those
who did go received a large pro rata
of enjoyment.
Q = q
The militia ball is going to be by
far the leading social event of the
season. The committee are planning
to make the event a Morris affair,
that is an affairs in which everyone
can participate. For that reason the
first part of the evening will be taken
up with reception and concert, fol-
lowed by refreshments and a few
short speeches from prominent citi-
zens. By this time the evening will
be gone and those who do not care to
dance will already have passed full
evening of enjoyment. The music is
to be the finest in the state, the DAM
orchestra, of Minneapolis. This
music is obtained through the liber-
atty of several leading citizens who
have volunteered to unitedly bear the
expense.
. . o
The invitations have been issued
for the K. P. dance to be given at the X,
P. hall on Monday, Dec. 9th. The
proceeds of the ball are for the hene-
fit of Company I. Tickets have
been placed at Sl.50.

PHoroGRAPHY IN COLORs.

An interesting lecture was given re-
Gently at the Paris Academy OF Sci
ences by NJ. Mascart on some expert
ments in photography in natural col
ors recently carried out by MN. All
guste and Louis Lumiere, Of Lyons.
He showed number Of proofs, includ-
ing the photograph Of a basket Of flow
ers. the lovely natural colors OF which
were most wonderfully reproduced, and
that of a woman dressed in outdoor
costume, which was equally successful,
the different tones and shadows OF the
silk and wool comprising her dress be-
ing most vivid. The effect on M. Mas
carts audience was to convince them
that at last the great problem Of pho
tcgraphy in colors was, if not finally
solved, within easy distance of being
so. Other photographs showed, a bed
of flowers, the view Of a jewellers
shop window and group of officers in
multi-eolored and brilliant uniforms.

CONTEMPORARY OPIEION
SPAIN GETTING READY.

II has been plain for the last three
weeks why Spain has taken advantage
Of every pretext for delaying the action
OF our government. The use she has
made of the time gained has been
equally plain. She has not been work
ing for peace, but bending all her des-
perate energies to a preparation Tor
war.
When the menace Of war came Spain
was iu-prepared, though she had been
making ready with such vigor as her
exhausted resources and shalSy credit
would allow for two years. Her one
respectable battleship, the Pelayo, was
being repaired and fitted at the La
Seyne shipyard, near TOulOn. Her big
gest cruiser, Carlos ", was undergoing
similar process at Havre. Two of her
great armored cruisers of the Oquendo
type. the Cardenal CisnerOs and the
Catelena, were newly finished and not
ready for the sea. The most formidable
of her torpedo boat destrOyers the Au-
daz and Osada, were still at the British
shipyard. on the Clyde, where they
were built.
Spain wanted time to get these YES
sells in shape for service, and to gather
her naval forces. So great was her anX-
ious haste that the PelayO and Carlos
V were ordered to sea with the work
men on board, kept busy with tools and
machinery on the way to CartaSena
Desperate efforts were made at the
same time to buy new ships, and one
large armored cruiser, the Giuseppe
