Growing n Gran mOthe

He was wee little man, only 3 years
sld, but very brave, courageous and I'M
complaining, more courageous and I'M
complaining than any one knew, for
though he was only baby he had trials
to bear The family had gone to new
country i'll the far west, the mamma,
this little man, and the sister, little
older. 1t was very new country, very
different from the city in the east
where they had left many friends, rela-
tives and, nearest of all, dear old
grandmother. The mamma was so busy
in her new home that she had little
time for the babies except to see that
they were clean and we'll fed. So they
were lonesome, sometimes, as mamma
found out one day in way that
brought the tears to her eyes.
The little 3-year old had been very
busy and very quiet making big hole
in the ground with such earnestness of
purpose that she went to see what was
being done.
The hole was completed when she
reached the spot and in it had been
placed something that she took out and
examined with wondering curiosity. 1t
was the strangest thing to go into a
hole in the ground-an old daguerreo-
type a picture of the dear grandmamma
at home
why, baby" exclaimed mamma,
"what are you doing with this:"
Il fought" said the little man with
quivering lip and all the pent up lone
illness and homcsickness in his voice, 81

Admiral Simpsons experience
at Porto Rico is quite similar to
some experiences had during
the civil war in this country.
He learned that land fortiEca>
tons cannot be annihilated by a
fleet, however powerful. SO east
ly as one might suppose. The
forts at San Jnan developed a
resistance that was too much
for even our modern armament,
but its gunners were about like
those at Manila. They only
hit the mark twice during a
fierce battle, although their po-
sition was elevated and decided
ly advantageous. The escape
of our fleet from serious injury
was, under the circumstances
remarkable.

SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT.
The Accounts of States for Money Dis
bursed in Raising Volunteers Be
ginning to Come In.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-State accounts
for the expenses incident to the main
tenance of troops raised by them under
President McKinley's first call, before
they were mustered into the service of
the government, are being received at
the war department. Perplexing
questions naturally will arise in the
adjustment of these accounts, and IN
some cases considerable time may
elapse before all the money expended
by the states is REIN ursed to them.
Gov. Atkinson of Georgia was at the
war department yesterday in this con-
nection, and saw a number of the off,
Gals. The governor was anxious to
secure an early reimbursement so as to
be ready to raise the troops which will
be asked for under the presidents Sec
ond call, as the state desires the money
now available for other purposes.
It is not likely, however, that such
condition of affairs as exists in Georgia
can be caused elsewhere, or, if they are
present in any other state, will result
in any great embarrassm ent, as the
government will then proceed to recruit
for the new troops on its own RESPONSE
bility, thus relieving the governors of
this duty.

OUR STRONG RESERVE FORCE.
America May Have Giant Task Before
Her, but Can Rely Upon England
as a Reserve Force.

LONDON, May 31.-The Daily Chron-
icle, commenting upon the dispatch of
it's Washington correspondent as to
the Canadian agreement, says:
THE news that the agreement has
been signed will be received through
out the country with keen pleasure
and entire satisfaction. The founda-
tions have been laid and we are con-
WINGED that the fabric of Anglo-Ameri-
can unity will reach it's appropriate
crown"
With reference to the probability of
a protracted warfare. owing to the
weakness of the insurgents in Cuba,
the article continues:
1.-The United States must act as their
own high destiny bids them act. If a
policy of expansion is forced on Amer
lea, it cannot be doubted that period
of great trial, perhaps of prolonged
warfare, is before us. We have no
doubt whatever of her success. No
people of tougher grit ever fought
for their place in the world, but it will
greatly shorten and simplify their task,
assisting the work of civilization, if
they are assured that British diplo-
macy and the British navy are acting
as their reserve force"
