NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
DtMculttea Whdc b Were Involved In
Sending the Troops to
Manila

It was on the first day of May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first de-
sachment of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from San Francisco.
There were some expressions of i'm
patience because of this delay, and
also because more troops were not
sent. But those who criticise the gov
eminent on this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
a large military expedition such a
distance.
From San Francisco to Manila h
about 1000 miles. The voyage, under
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks Ships had to be chartered and
made ready in haste, to convey not
the troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery as well as rifles, horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding.
hospital stores and miscellaneous
equipments, together with rations for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age and for some time after.
1t was necessary also to carry out
large quantities of ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dewey's squad
ron, for ships carrying on operations
1000 miles from their base of supplies
need many things
To secure the ships and prepare them
for such a voyage, and to accumulate
and get on board of them all the need
ed supplies in little more than three
weeks, was really remarkable
achievement.

New York called Gotham A New
York man was Gothamite' We read
in our home paper of Happenings in
Gotham When man went from our
country to this city he said he had
gone to Gotham l remember an in
cident in my school. The teacher had
a habit of asking questions that were
not in the book, and one day he sprung
this: Which is the largest city in the
United States?' The boy at whom this
was fired replied Gotham The old
teacher looked over his spectacles and
said:
"'4es, you are another one. | wish
the fathers of some of you boys would
tell you when they read Washington
Irving that he was no friend of the
school teacher. 1t takes half my time
to undo what Irving did in the histor-
ical line. The largest city in the United
States is New York, and if any of you
boys ever go there you will find 1t out

DEHORNED cows.
Here IL a Story About One Old Woman
Who Wanted Her Cow to Be
Detailed Also.

Dehorning cows has been all the fash
ion lately, says an exchange. It's aston
ishing how many claim that their COW
had the hollow horn, simply as a salve
for what appears to be a hard-hearted
practice. In most instances the deed
was done before the parties had even
learned that their cattle even had the
hollow horn. Hence, this not being the
motive for the deed, they should not
mix it into a salve to soothe their
wounded consciences.
A good old sister said: mo, I'll not
have my cow dehorned. The Lord made
her with horns and He knew better than
| do what she needed" A good old
brother said when he was asked the
cause of hollow horn: "Why, poor feed
ing and too much milking will keep
both the cow and her horns hollow. l
reckon that's the cause of so much hol-
low horn"
Another sister worried over the de-
horning Of her COW. Before 1t recov-
cred from the effects of it some one
said: THAT cow has the hollow tail"
The old woman looked around, threw
up her hands in horror and said: Take
her out and detail her at once. Let's
make a good job of 1t while we're at it."

TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
A New Set of store Teeth Are Insfru-
mental in the Death OF an
Odd Character.

Citizens Of Johnstown, Pa, are
mourning the death of one of the
characters of that place, and the cir
cumstances of his taking of. as told
by resident, are indeed sad, says the
New York Press.
Joe, as he was always known, had
been an inhabitant of Johnstown all
his life, and nobody knows just how
long that was. Whatever money he
earned was by peddling apples and
candy from basket which ne carried.
and, as he grew Older and feeble, his
income dwindled until it was barely
enough to sustain him. Coupled with
this was the fact that he began to
lose his teeth, which, up to that time,
had always served him faithfully.
This troubled him exceedingly, and
1t was his habit to request persons to
buy his wares in order that he might
save enough money to get a set of
teeth. Nobody knows just how long
It took Joe to save enough, but few
weeks ago he received the teeth and
he was as proud of them as n mother Is
of her first baby. Nothing would do
but he must MUNICH an apple for every
acquaintance lie met to show him how
the new worries worked.
Well" the old resident said, refec-
lively, Joe must have eaten about 100
apples that first day, and when the
next day came he couldn't get out of
bed, he kept on getting worse till he
died.
My wife says the pleasure of receiv-
ing the teeth was too much for him,
but I've got an idea that those apples
had something to do with it."

TODDY TREES.
They Grow in South America-Beetses
Get Drunk by Tapping BARK
Other ArbOreal Tricks.

Nature has her rum shops, her sa-
looms. She produces plants which de-
vote themselves to the manufacture and
gale of intoXicants. The South Ameri-
can teddy tree is well known to natural
lists. 1t is well known also to the South
American beetles, the oryctes hercules.
When the latter goes on spree he never
goes it alone, after the unneighborly
habit of the human drunkard. He col
lects his friends and acquaintance to
the number of 80 or 40; the whole crowd
run their short HONS through the bark
of the toddy tree, revel in the outflow
ing juices and, while inebriated, are
easily caught by the human natives,
says Lippincott's.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor
free of charge. There are other plants
which are less generous. They exact no
less penalty than the death of the IN
fortunate drunkard. And what do they
do with the body? Strange as it may
seem, they eat it, In this manner they
obtain the food which nourishes them
and sustaiDs their healthful existence.
At the end Of each of their long green
leaves these plants have pitcher
shaped receptacle. We might style this
the GROWER, but it never needs to be
rushed. 1t is always full of what with
special appropriateness might be called
bug juice-a watery liquor, sweet to
the taste and inebriating to the senses
Only in fine weather is the GROWER open
for business On rainy days it is firmly
shut up to keep out the rain that would
dilute and spoil he contents. Natures

yond belief Even the presents given
by the emir of Bokhara to the car are
splendid enough TO dazzle one like a
realization of the Arabian Nights. But
TO see the most valuable of all, which
are kept in the emperors private vaults,

ment bordering on idiocy. 1t is as

Did Not Exist OmcfallY.

A strange discovery was recently
made by a clerk living at Belleville,
says the London Telegraph. He went
to the mayors Office in order to get
a certificate of his birth, but found to
his surprise that his name was not en-

too busy or preoccupied to have him
duly inscribed on the district books, so
that the clerk had practically no off,
cial existence, being without what is
called an "etat civil" AS his parents
were dead, the young man had to as

there to testify on oath to the local
official that he was their real and law
ful brother. After that he obtained
his certificate, and left the town hall
