Business conditions continue I,

Business conditions continue to
improve. The war rumor has no
preceptable effect in checking the
increased current of business. The
bank clearauces Of last week from
eighty-seven cities in the United
States show an increased volume
of business of IS per cent over
the corresponding week of last
year. In the two weeks in March
exports have been 10 per ceat
larger than last year, and imports
have gained bu; 81 per cent. The
treasury receipts are about SI.Ioo
600 per day and the balances of
trade still largely in our favor,
with gold moving srom Europe to
swell our rapidly accumulating
gold reserve.

UNCLE SANS DOMAIN,

Owns Over coo, 600, 500 Acres.


fhe idea that Uncle Sam is ut present

O00, 900 acres left. In other words, your
dear old uncle still owns something
over 600, 0O0,0 GOO acres, distributed as
follows throughout the various states
and territories:
Alabama, 532, 500 acres; Arizona,
81. 400, 2ll acres; Arkansas, S,922, O42

About otae:half this vast amount OF
land lies, it will be seen, in Alaska, and
it is very certain that this will never be

for mining purposes its value in cold

though it were arabic. The larger part

A STIRRING INTERVIEW.
The Adventure Of . Yankee Lieutenant a,
Gibraltar In 1906,

The Adventure Of . Yankee Lieutenant ID
Gibraltar In 1906.
Two noteworthy facts mark the bat
tie of Lake Champlain and that of Lake
Erie. They were the only squadron bat
ties Of the war of 1912, and the two vic
torious American commanders were very
young. Perry was 28 and Maedonough
So.
When Macdonough was but % year,
of age, an adventure at Gibraltar, in
1906, described in Mr.. Spears History
OF Our Navy" showed the character Of
the man. He was first lieutenant of the
Yankee brig Siren, and one day while
the captain was ON shore at Gibraltar q
Yankee merchantmen came into the
port and anchored near the Siren. A
boat from British frigate near by
went directly to the ,nerchantman ard
in a few minutes pulled away again,
having one more man in it than when
it left the frigate.
Marlborough noted the fact and sen,
Lieutenant Page to the merchantmen,
who returned with the information that
the British had impressed ono of tie
crew of the merchantmen.
Marlborough ordered the Sirens gis
away, manned with armed men. and
getting into it himself overlook the
British boat alongside Of the frigate and
took out Of it by force the impressed
seaman and carried him to the Siren.
Later the captain OF tue British nsan
of-war came on board tie siren and il
o great rage demanded to know how
Marlborough had dared to take MAI
from one Of his MAZE sty's beats"
II will" said he, "haul my shi,
alongside the Siren and take the mar
by force"
Il suppose" answered Macdonough
your ship can sink the Siren, but Il!
Icing as she can swim l shall keep tn,
man."
"You are very young man and very
indiscreet," said the bully. Suppose
bad been in tho boat. What would yot
have done!"
II would have taken the man or les
my life, replied Marlborough
What, sir, would you attempt Il
stop me if / were BOW to try to impress
men from that brig?" thundered th,
captain.
81 would" answered the calm Mac
donough, "and to convince yoursel
that would you have only to make tn,
attempt"
At that the British captain got int,
his boat, rowed away to his frigate all,
then turned and rowed toward the mer
chairman. Macdonough at once manne,
boat with an armed crew and rowe,
out to protect the brig. The English
man rowed around tho merchantmen
without boarding her and then put bacl
to his frigate. He had tried to impress
the Yankee sailor not because he wishet
to add more to his crew, but to shov
his contempt fer the little Yankee war
ship.-Youth's Companion.
