Fetters for our own dear sake,
And, with leathern hearts, forget
That we owe mankind debt?

All the chains our brothers wear,

Earnest to make others free.

A PHILADELPHIA JOKE.

A salesman from Philadelphia who
comes to Washington frequently sat
in the Ebbitt house few evenings ago
discussing the destruction of the
Maine, the admirable work of Commo-
dore Dewey and his fleet in the far
east and the Spanish-American war
in general.
His listener, who is the representa-
tive of a Milwaukee house, tried to get
in word, but it was impossible. The
Philadelphian was so verbose that no
one could have interrupted him. He
told al about the war, described to
his Milwaukee friend the strategic
movements that the American navy
would make and volunteered informa-
ton as to the exact date that the war
would end. Everything was made
perfectly plain to the man from Beer
town. Just as he was about to leave
the hotel for stroll about town, the
Philadelphia turned to his Milwaukee
friend, and, looking him square in the
eye, asked:
"Can you tell me why the loss of
an American ship is like ginger ?"
The man from Milwaukee thought
intently for moment and shook his
head.
"Why, itis good for Cramps"
The Philadelphia man drew a pic
ture of his joke, and the two started
for the cafe.-Washington Star.

The remark is frequently heard that
the war is a good thing for the news
papers. If those who have rushed to
this conclusion had any accurate idea
of the vastly increased cost OF gather
ing news at this time they would
promptly revise their opinion. But
the effect of the war is to largely in
crease newspaper circulation, and adj
yertisers would do well to take note OF
the fact.-Ex.

sound the death knell of the saloon

If the surest and best way to kill Il

fair in the present instance to state
