Then and Now.

~HIS morning. as a summing-up or
the war that made the year
memorable. the announcement is
that the terms of peace have been hand
ed to the president OF the United States.
A year & this morning the press
service brough: 10 the newspapers or
the land an appeal signed by John
Sherman, secretary Of state. for aims
for the relief of the starving Cubaus.
This help was solicited. as the appeal re-
cited. with the consent of Minister Du-
puy de LONE.
What a transformation! This coun-
try doesn't ask a Spanish minister's APP
prevail any more respecting the things
that are proposed to be lone for Cuba.
During the twelvemonth the govern
ment OF which Sherman was a part has
assumed obligations. respecting Cuba.
tina involve UNNECESSARILY more han
the giving of aims. The service we shall
render TO this island Of the Antilles will
be illustrious-if II be that greed does
not become the governing factor In II
country's plans.
Many readers OF TINS MORNING >
Standard well remember what happened
a year ago. In answer to Secretary
Sherman's appeal, Montana. through
the agency of the Standard. responded
swiftly and generously; II is in the OFF,
cial record in the state department at
Washington that Montana was the first
TO give and that the people Of Montana
were. in proportion. the most liberal
eivers.
Later on. 50 the record Of the year
runs. Montana furnished FOR war with
Spain the regiment that was the first

Its members were the first In war: they
are not the first out of IL. but the docu-

IN HERE is a man in New York

replying to Ingersoll," and
who finds it mighty lively business.
His name is Samuel Colcord and he is
rich enough To hire a hall every sun
day afternoon. Radical differences Of
opinion arise between Mr.. Colcord and
his audiences as to what constitutes a
reply to Ingersoll. The Ingersollians
turn out in force and take front seats
and exceptions to Mr.. Colcord's asser-
tions. The scrap usually lasts about
half an hour. by which time the me IT.
ing and the lecturer are all broken up.
Sometimes the Christians i'm the au-
diorce. too. take a hand. Last sunday
Mr.. Colcord was courteously expressing
his regard for Colonel Ingersolrs great
gifts. when a woman In the front row
exclaimed. 'oh. don't say that; / can't
bear it," Then she marched to the
door. and. turning. exclaimed dpmat-
ically: Il won't hear any such things,
You ought TO he ashamed OF YOURSELF"
Then she left the hall and the audience
laughed long and loud. Later Mr.. col
cord spoke Of J. Pierpont Morgan as a
Christian philanthropist. An elderely
and sedate looking nan in the front
row Of the balcony said: II am afraid,
II we are TO believe the Bible. that Re
is a little too wealthy ever to get to
heaven" Another voice demanded.
Where did he get his money!" and
another. Why do you call him a phil
a~nthropist?" Mr.. Colcord said Peter
Cooper was not an orthodox Christian.
and a man shouted: You bet he
wasn't! He knew better. He had
sense" a man in the rear part of the
hall uttered frequent expression of dis
approval. and was invited by a young
man OF pugilistic appearance tos"come
up here to the front and let's have a
nance at you" The man did not go.
Thus the Christians and the Ingersol-
lians had II hot and heavy. and appar-
emily neither side made any impression
on the other. Mr.. Colcord did make one
good point when he declared that while
Christians listen to Ingersoll with Ie-
spectful attention, agnostics as a class
don't know enough 10 be courteous TO
a man talking Christianity.

It's Well He's Gone.

\ OLSON sailed yesterday for Ma
Mia. 1t was high time. The
public was informed long ago
that Hobson had been ordered to the
Philippines to lend a hand there i'm the
attempt to raise the ships which went
down i'm the harbor under Dewey's de-
structive fire. II has transpired that
Hobson could accomplish nothing in his
effort to foat Cervera's sunke boats
OFF the coast of Santiago. The resurrec-
ton problem that presents itself in Ma
Mia waters is said to be an easier one.
Hobson has finally sailed. He was
tardy in getting away. He has been
m~eandering over the country delivering
what Is called a lecture: his principal
occupation has been to hug and kiss
fool women and silly girls, who have
been chasing after him to be Rugged
and kissed. The business has been kept
up till il has disguised the public and
contributed much toward the %conclus-
ion that Hobson really lacks some OF
the elements that are essential in he
makeup Of a real hero.
1t goes without saying that Hobson's
part in the Merrimac AFFAIR was admir-
able. The sinking OF that craft at the
entrance of the harbor at Santiago was
undoubtedly III advised and. withal, un-
fortunate. 1t was not a sensible thing
to do Still. Admiral Sampson con-
cluded to do It; and when his plan was
made known. scores OF officers were
ready and willing to undertake the ex-
ecution of ii. Fortunately for Hobson.
the lot fell to him. He discharged the
trust admirably; he was cool and cour-
ageous about IL. In the exhibition Of
war spirit. some OF the American people
FASTENED to say that the deed was a
match for the famous exploit OF Gushing,
the story of whose intrepid act in de-
stroying the confederate ironclad Abe
marie, in 1864. will live as long as valor
has votaries. The linking of Hobson's
deed with that of Gushing was ridicul-
Gus: still, Hobson performed n brave
deed and he did II in a manly way.
The trouble is that. eve since that
achievement. Hobson has been doing
his best to spoil the reputation he so
suddenly won. This businesso of stump
ing the country in a dramatic way, in
quest of women who want TO be kissed,
is calculated to take the shine off of n
hero's reputation. Hobson worked the
thing till II became nauseating. He is
bound out for Manila. Let him prac-
tlce on the kim OF material the Philip
pines ~furnish-that will rescue the repu-
tation for common sense of some hun
dreds OF American women.

Once a week in summer and once
month in winter is, according to New

fully dried afterward. The hair should
be trimmed about once month to pre-
vent it from falling out. Occasionally
its condition becomes poor, just as the
general system gets run down. 1t then
needs a good tonic and should have it;
but otherwise hairdressings are gener-
ally to be avoided. Brush thoroughly
once a day at least. and do not braid
tightly at night. While care will do
much toward strengthening weak
growths of hair, it is, after all, q mat

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

When you see a ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street
With torn hat and kneeless trousers
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding:
Smile upon him. Mark me. when
He grows up he'll not forget II:
For, remember. boys make men.
Have you never seen a grandsire.
With his eyes aglow with joy.
Bring to mind some act Of kindness
Something said to him. boy?
Or relate some slight or coldness
With brow all clouded, when
He recalled some heart too thoughtless
To remem Der boys make men!
Let US try to add some pleasure
To the life of every boy,
For each child needs tender interest
In it's sorrow and its JOY.
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They avoid the household when
1t is cherries with unkindness:

in those gentler virtues, bat also in

who speaks against the purity OF the

deprive the woman of what is most pre-

some respects in which changes are de-
sirable, but, on the whole. have no
