disdaining all fear of danger OF
death, as l, their courier and repre-
entative, am anxious now to lowers
this flag - an aim for the preser-
walton of peace, prosperity and
happiness to the entire people in
common. 1t is = soldiers first
duty to obey the orders or purpose
of his country. The time has
passed to meet the enemy in bat
tie, and put quite out of joint
when the war spirit is advocated.
Filter by far it IS to lay aside the
weapon Of war by pen, word OF
sword, and embrace the gentle, yet
firm bonds of peace. Shakespeare
says:
s.In peace there's nothing 80 becomes Z
As m,desty aud mild humility;
But when the blast Of war beats on the
brow,
Then initiate the actions Of the
tiger"
Therefore l lower, with all due
love, the beautiful flag of our coun-
try, whose Incompatible and
matehless colors oatvie the galaxy
of nationalities combined. Fondly
we will close its folds, with
out creasing the texture Of its
substance. and with lingering eyes
let us place it away carefully,
ready, for the nonce, to raise it
again, in peace or war, when the
occasion calls for this act of true
Americanism.

The Experience Of Lieut..
HObSOn.

The troubles OF Lieut.. Hobs0n
were nos over when he was ex-
changed at Santiago, but. on the
contrary, he is being lionized by
people Of. the nor:h in a manner that
is very ~disagreeable to him, aud he
is in constant dread Of being made
ridiculous by ELUSIVE and gushing
individuals. There is good reason
to believe that something Of the
kind will occur unless he closes up
his business with the wrecking com
panies, returns to Santiago and
takes charge of the work OF raising
the Cristobal Colon.
A few days ago . number OF
guests at a hotel naar Long Beach,
L. l., presented him with 4 sword,
and before tue whole assemblage .
St. Louis girl tiptoed up to him, and,
taking his hand, said: "May I kiss
you?" II Hobson Rad been hit just
abaft the pinnacle by . te1-inch
armor-piercing shell he could no.
have been more shocked. He
blushcd, then turned pale. and COM
mcnced to stammcr, but the sweet
creature from st. Louis chung so
closely to his starboard quarter that
he did not have an opportunity 10
slip his cable and escape under .
full head of steam. The dear girl
was very pretty, but in spite Of this
fact he endeavored to retreat under
cover OF 4 polite protest against
oscnlatory favors being showered
upon him, but sue would no. permit
it and went into action without wait
ing for the command tc open fire.
It was not q great big turret gun
OF ! kiss but . little one FOUNDER,
rapid fire thing that made . noise
like the crack Of q rife. Her marks
manehip was perfect, however, and,
according to the statements OF eye
witnesses the kiss hit the lieutenant
just below the protective moustache.
Two more fired in rapid succession
struck him fairly On the port aud
starboard cheek and exploding
shook him from keel to main truck
and almost threw him on his beam
ends. Some Of the people who wit
messed the engagement say that the
red glare on the lieutcnant's face
showed that he caught fire inside
and was blazing furiously. He was
compelled to haul down his flag and
in great distress make q run for the
refreshmen: room Of the hotel,
where the flames were extinguished
by pouring iced drinks down his
main hatch.
The best thing Lieut.. Hobson can
do is to get away from the summer
girls at the seaside resorts, because
lie is = recognized hero, and they
will make it more uncomfortable for
him than the Spanish gunners Of the
MORO and Socapa batteries did
when they we're ~hammering away at
the Merrimac.--Daily States.
