Hoods position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellently which in
the general view are incompatible, in
which case popular opinion generally
fixes on the inferior gift as representing
the writer's real capacity. He was a
funny man" as well as a lyric poet of
real quality and earnest aims and was
SO admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely an ambitious
bid for a reputation it was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some 10 years of his
short life. But that this was due to a
necessity for finding a ready market for
his wares is, l think, beyond doubt

Lincoln and JEFF Davis.

Malcolm Townsend has pointed out
condolences of events in the lives of
Lincoln and jeff Davis. Both were born
i'll Kentucky-Lincoln in 1909, Davis
in 1903. Both removed from their ma
tive state in childhood, Davis going to
the southwest, Lincoln to the north
west. In the Black Hawk war Davis
was a second lieutenant of regulars,
Lincoln a captain Of volunteers. Both
began their political career at tho same
period, 1914, Davis being a presidential
eleotor for Henry Clay. Both were
elected to congress at about the same
time, Davis in 1845, Lincoln in 1916.
Lastly, in the same year and almost the
same day, they were called on to pre-
side ver the destinies of their respective
governments, Davis as president of the
Confederate states, Feb. s, 1861, and
Lincoln as president Of the United
States, March A., 1861.-New York

flying to the hills. An American auxil-
larry cruiser was bit and probably seri-
ously injured.
The damage done American ships is
slight, but it is thought that the killed
and wounded on the Spanish side is
enormous. After two hours fighting the
American feet drew off.
The Spanish account claims that the
Americans were compelled to withdraw.
The navy department at Washington
has heard nothing and is inclined to be-
lieve that any firing done was not of i'm
%portance.
Secretary Alger yesterday, in a letter
to congress, said that $4,000 or 10000
troops will be sent to Cuba at once and
will be followed as soon as possible by
$4,000 more.
Montana is not included in the quota

UNCLE SAM 10 CENTS AHEAD.


Five Envelopes Out of "a Bunch That He
wouldn't Redeem.
A reporter went into the New York
postoffice the other day with a bundle
of misdirected stamped envelopes in his
pocket to see if Uncle Sam would not
redeem them for cash. He found a
window in a room on the second floor,
where this is the special business at
tended to. Uncle SANS representative
looked over the lot of envelopes, handed
back five, with the cash for the others,
and said:
"You will have to take a trip to Falls
City, Neb. Columbus, Ga; Newark,
N. j., and Brooklyn to get those four
redeemed, and here is one we won't re-
leem at all. You see, it is this way: 1t
ioes not matter where an envelope Is
addressed to; the point is where It
comes from-what p~ostofice issued it.
A postoffice can only redeem envelopes
which it has issued itself. If an en-
1elope shows N the face of it that som
other office issued it, / can't give you
cash for it.
"Now look at this one. Here in the
,orner is a note, After ten days return
to Mr.. Blank, Falls City, Neb.' Evil
IDENTIFY the Falls City postoffice issued
that, and you will have to go there to
get it redeemed if you are fond of long
distance economy of that sort. These
envelopes here with no Return to- note
may have been issued by some other
office, but we have no means of know
ing it and take them on faith. Here is
n marked, Return to P. o. box 2, 1855,
New York CITY, We will take that, for
we evidently issued lit. The principle
is simple, even if its workings look
complicated"
The reporter reminded the clerk that
he had refused one envelope altogether or.
The clerk took it up and looked at 1t.
1t had no Return to" note in the &C IT,
ner, but the name and address were
printed OH it.
"Well, you see, that comes under a
different rule" he continued. "The
idea is to redeem envelopes which have
been misdirected by accident. This man
has spoiled this envelope to help on his
business, sending it to some correspond
ent inclosed with a letter asking for a
business order likely. He expected the
other man to use this envelope only in
writing to him and to keep him in mind
of it he printed his address ON it. He
did not intend to furnish free stamps
for his business acquaintance unless he
got them back on letters to himself.
His correspondent-you in this case
either did not send him an order or sent
it i'll a new envelope. Now you want to
get back 2 cents. The business man
spent that 2 cents simply to boom his
business. Uncle Sam is not booming
any ones business. even to the extent
of 2 cents, except where all share alike
through general prosperity. You cannot
get that envelope redeemed anywhere. :"
The reporter thanked the clerk. After
calculating the cost of a trip to Nebras-
ka, Georgia, Newark and Brooklyn and
comparing it with the value of the four
stamped envelopes which might be re-
deemed by it he concluded it was cheap.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Classical Order Rendered Upon
an Interesting Occasion.

The readers of the HERALD have look
cd forward to the commencement eXer-
cises of the Neihart high school as an
event fraught with much interest. The
program and much information relative
to the occasion have appeared from
time to time in our columns. But when
the event occurred the expectancy of the
public was fully realized and everyone
who attended the event now speaks in
the highest praise of the schools. of
their excellent curriculum and wise di-
r%ection.
On Friday evening May 27, Frisco
opera house was packed to overlooking.
The seats from parquet to gallery were
filled and breathing room was at a pre-
MUM. AT 80 the curtain rose, and a
delightful scene met the public gaze.
The stage was a sea of flowers. It
seemed that all the fora indigenous to
this climate, and everything indigenous
to any other climate had been planted
there in the most artistic p~rofusion.
English ivy vines were hung in gorgeous
festoons and gaily decorated with sprigs
of Towering vetches. Roses, pinks, ger
aniums, daffodils. narcissus, lilies, and
even the everyday roc were there,
nodding their respects to each other and
speaking a perlumed piece to the proud
est as we'll as to the meekest person in
the audience.
On the stage sat the members of the
class of '9S, the teachers, the members
and clerk of the school board, Rev
Brown of the Episcopal church, and
Rev. Hooking of the M. E. church, tho
various participants in the program, and
the visiting county superintendent

A Few Details of the SkirmiSh
at Santiago.

Great Falls, June 3, $50 a.m.-[Spec-
cial to the HERALD. THE following ac-
count of the battle is from the Associat-
ed Press dispatch boat Dandy: For an
hour the Massachusetts, Iowa, New Or
leans and Vixen exchanged shots with
the Spanish fleet under Cervera and land
batteries at Santiago. There was no
attempt made by the American COM
mander to bring on a general engage
ment as he simply wished to determine
the position and strength of the Spanish
forts.
The Massachusetts, steamed slowly to
about five miles west of the harbor en-
trance, then bore down toward the har-
Dor, the New Orleans being close up and
Iowa a half mile behind. The Massa-
chusetts gradually increased her speed
to the rate of 10 knots an hour. She
drew closer and closer to the batteries,
and, to the anxious watchers on the
other ships, it seemed she would never
fire. When she passed the harbor en-
trance 800 yards her two 13-inch guns
were fired. One of the shells struck the
Spanish flagship Cristobal Colon and
the other fell close alongside. Other
shots were then fred at the shore bat
teries and they her took up the chal-
range. The New Orleans had been
directed to pay PARTICULAR attention to
the shore batteries and every shot she
fred made trouble for Spain. The Iowa
came next and devoted her attention to
the other ships lying in the harbor.
None Of them were, however, seriously
injured. After the Iowa the little Vixen
came and fired her six-pounder guns,
proudly conscious of having done her
best.
The flagship Massachusetts turned
again and ran within 1000 yards from
shore, throwing her shells into the wa
tiers of Santiago harbor. The Spanish
replied in an energetic fashion, but near
ly all their shots fell short. The New
Orleans and Iowa then repeated the
same tactics and the fleet withdrew.
| The dynamite vessel Vesuvius will be
sent down to Santiago to destroy the
triple row of mines that extend across
the harbor's mouth. With these out of
the way Commander Schley will sail
into the harbor for a death grapple with

Where hill and plain and sea and sky
In radiant splendor beamed.

And all was shining gold.

That drained the glistening sod.

Where bloomed the g~oldeArod.

Each horse a golden load,
And golden sunshine filled the air,
And gold dust heaped the road.
