Every one of them had to be opened be-

consequently the morning meal was
greatly prolonged.
You had better leave the unopened
ones until after breakfast" suggested
mamma, as Del leaned back in her chair
with sigh of satisfaction, after look

candy
Don't you like it?' asked papa, with
twinkle in his eye.

children something in the shape Of jew

something so much handsomer
We'll, well, don't cry, little girl. Eat
your candy and content yourself with
your other presents" said papa, cheer

his little daughters face

lovingly.
Certainly. I don't want any old
candy for my birthday" replied the
little lady.

 s'I believe it ain't quite safe to leave things around loose like that" the doc- tor said, shaking his head reproachful 1y.
 "That,' said I, with confident smile, s.that's all safe enough; the boys wouldn't touch a thing"
 T know, know the doctor rejoined, .sthey're all right, are the boys; I'd trust them with diamonds. But all the same, t ain't the safe thing, and what's more. it isn't the fair thing. A soldiers only a man, and you got no right to put temptation ahead of him. You bet ter leave them with somebody or carry them along with you"
 l gave a sigh of despair. The doctor was obviously in the right It was ear- ly in the morning in camp, and l was making ready for the days expedition to the front. So I was unloading eve- rytbing I could do without, under the strip of canvas stretched across four poles which two other men and I called a shelter because we were drowned out of it every afternoon.
 I had piled up in a heap everything I could possibly shed. My coat I could well do without; my shirt was an unne- cessary ipcumbrance when l was wear ing an undervest my field glasses hang it, could do without field glasses; my carera-who was idiot enough to drag a camera about?
 I discarded them all and stood up in sombrero and trousers and light under shirt, as light as I could get. My wa ter bottle I had to carry, and there was a little parcel of hard biscuits to sling from my belt. Those were all.
 Stay, there was an uncomfortably bulky feeling about my pockets. In the hip pocket there sodden and discol- ored notebook and soft 1eathern note case. I pulled them out and looked at them. What did I want with great, hot, heavy baggage like that dragging about in the tropical sunshine? I could do well enough without the notebook. And as to the leather pocket case there was nothing at all in that but my pass mort and papers and few hundred dol lars in greenbacks. They were of no earthly use. So memorandum book and notecase went into the heap under the shelter.
 Still I felt heavy and bulky. I dived into my side pockets. A knife-well, might want that. But a little canvas tobacco bag I was using for a gold purse-some twenty-dollar gold pieces, some Spanish gold, and some English soyereigns-that was nothing but so much dead weight In it went with the heap under the shelter alongside the other things, and the half empty box of cigars, and the broken bag of tobac- co and the flask of medicinal rum.
 "No," said the doctor again, 'it ain't the fair thing by the boys"
 ''very well, then, doctor, if you think SO" I said, and bending reluctantly over the heap picked up the case full of notes and the little canvas bag of gold and, pulling a wry face, began slowing them in my pockets agalee ..

A FAMOTTs ADVERTISER.

(F'rom the Denver (Colo) Republican,
 Every large business interest is indi- vidualized by some member who has been an important factor in promoting or characterizing his particular busi- ness by some speciality or improvement which has materially increased it's out put. MT. William l.. Douglas, the sub- ject of this sketch, is without question the Nestor of the shoe industry, having brought before the world the fact that, with her leadership in other great in dustries, America can also produce the best shoe In the world.
 MT. Douglas was born in the historic town of Plymouth, Mass, August P, 1S45. His early life was subject to the vicissitudes usually surrounding one compelled to earn his own living, but by strong determination and unusual pluck MT. Douglas has succeeded in reaching the highest place in his chosen business of shoe manufacturing.
 He began business in Brockton, Mass, in 1876, and has always made it his home. No man enjoys the confi- dence and respect of his fellow towns men more than MT. Douglas. Although a democrat and living in a strong re- publican district, he has been honored with a seat in both branches of the Massachusetts legislature, as well as mayor of Brockton and several times a member of the city government. He displayed much ability in conducting the affairs of his constituents to their best interests, notably the introduction and successful legislation of the bill constituting the state board of arbitra- tion to settle all matters of difference between employers and employees MT. Douglas has been proffered many other offices of distinction, but declined them for business and domestic reasons.
 In addition to the active management of a large manufacturing business, and fifty-eight retail stores in the large cities MT. Douglas is director of the Home National Bank, president of the Peoples Savings Bank of Brockton and proprietor of the Brockton Times, a daily of large circulation and the one paper which thoroughly covers south eastern Massachusetts. He also has many private interests.
 Mr. Douglas has always had a per- sonal interest in the army of men and women who inhabit the great factory at Brockton during the working hours of the day, and believes that manufac- turers should use every endeavor to break down that invisible barrier which frequently arises between employers and employees, and should convince the workingmen that they are not enemies, as some seem to think, but friends, whose mutual interests are to be con- sidered. MT. Douglas employs com potent physician to furnish medical ad- vice and medicine free to any of his employees who may be in need of his services.

 It was this situation which deter mined General Miles to go to Cuba. The day he sailed with reinfocements, July z, he sent the following dispatch from Washington:
 Shafter, Santiago:-
 Take every precaution against surprise and be on the lookout that the enemy does not turn your right flank and come in on the line of your communications. Rein- forcements are being sent forward as rap idly as possible, but you will have to be the judge of the position you are to hold till achievements can reach you. (Slgned)
 Miles, major-general, commanding.
 General Miles sailed for Cuba. On July Il at noon he reported his safe ar lIN dl u lht war uGpdGIUlGnC anu dL once assumed charge, reporting to the secretary of war All of the subse- quent business of the surrender was entirely in his hands, as shown by the fact that the war department commu- nicated with him direct, not even men, tioning Shafter's name in the numerous dispatches. The following report is an excellent example:
 Washington, D. C., July IS, 1898 Major-General Miles:-
 You may accept surrender by granting paroles to officers and men, the officers re taining their side arms. The officers and men after parole will be permitted to re- turn to Spain, the United States assisting If not accepted, then aSsault-unless in your judgment an assault would fail. Con suit with Sampson and pursue such course as to the assault as you jointly agree upon Matters should be settled promptly. (Signed) R. A. Alger, secretary of war;
 This dispatch recognized Miles as commander and gave him authority to act. Shafter was entirely ignored. In the face of this situation Secretary AL ger, through General Corbin, sent a dispatch to General Shafter, assuring him that General Miles did not come to Cuba to supercede Shafter in any way This dispatch General Miles refers to as 'secreta,' for he says he did not know it had been sent, not being noti- fled from Washington, and General
