OUR FIRST SALUTE 70 SPAIN

Said: Goodnight, little sweetheart, go
to my rest.
Oh. God. keep her safe till her lover gets
back.
And may the cherub aloft look out for her
Jack"
His simple prayer said, in his hammock ne
swings;
His thoughts. flying far on siumber's soft
wings,
Take him back to their tryst beneath the
tall pine,
He again clasps her close, sees her bonnie
eyes SHINE;
With murmured endearment he turns in
his rest
And his sweetheart's soft ringlet clasps
close to his breast.
Little girl, you've got letter." the gruh
old postman said,
And as she raised her happy face he turned
away his head.
When she reached up for the missive ON
her hand there dropped tear

And mighty growing war cry grumbles
out across the deeps,
And cry for vengeance rises o. Ter the spok

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS.
TO America Belongs the Honor
Prof. Draper's Sister Sat thirty
Minutes for Her Portrait.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illus
tsated paper on photography: It's
Marvels" In St. Nicholas. The author
says:
The first accounts of this great dis
eovery are very entertaining reading,
Prof. Morse, the inventor OF tho tele-
graph, was in Paris when the news
was published, and at once went TO see
Daguerre'S wonderful pictures, In
describing them afterward, he said
That moving objects made no impress
sion ON the plate; for picture taken
OF a crowded boulevard showed 1t as If
entirely deserted, with the exception
of a man having his shoes polished.
The mans feet, he said, were we'll de-
fined, because they were kept station
airy; but he was without head or body,
for these we're In motion.
"To America belongs The honor Of
making the first Photographic Por-
trait, the artist being Prof. John

"The first class in photography was
formed in Boston in the spring Of 1910
by Daguerre's agent, Gourad Of Paris,
Rev, Edward Everett Hale, then stu
dent in Harvard, became an enthusi-
astic member OF the class. In hts
diary, under date OF April l, 1910, is
this entry: On my way home I
stopped at the shop and got my
daguerreotype Thermometer. There
seems to be great demand; there

by the Union Pacific in this capacity for
tho past IL years, and the company
finds her services indispensable.
Mra Atwood arrived in Kansas City
the other day, and the next day she
left with so men for Wyoming. Most
Of the men were negroes. Several Of
them had the appearance Of typical
hoboes. Mrs. Atwood has been In the
business so long that she says she can
tell by looking at a man whether or
not he will make good hand. When
she sees one who suits her taste she ap-
proaches him without hesitation and
asks him how he would like the posi-
ton she has to fer. It only requires
the work of about minute for the
terms TO be arranged, and the man is
escorted to some corner where others
she has engaged have been cengre-
gated.
Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls
her home, but che usually makes Dem

THIS IS ONE FROM OHIO.
Our Japanese Friends Hold Us in Es-
teem Worth NOtc-An Instance
In Point.

Americans are held in the greatSSt
esteem by the people of japan. A tour
list from the United States need never
worry about courtesies in the land Of
the mikado. That peculiarly progress
sive people regard the men and women
who bear allegiance to the stars and
stripes as the possessors of civiliza-
ton that should be their model in at
tanning.
Captain Joe Fifer, OF the United
States navy, had an experience in Japan
which his messmates never tire recount
ing. When Joe was in Annapolis his fell
low cadets used to say that he would
pay dearly for his slashlng wit, and it
seems that the names OF many dis
comforted professor and student have
been properly avenged.
II came Capt. Fifer's turn to make a
cruise to the occident, and he prepared
for the long trip with great trepidation,
He was won't to consult fortune teller
whenever he undertook sail and was
usually gladdened by assurances of a
safe voyage and speedy return. On
this occasion he was wounded most
deeply. The diver into the future in.
formed the incorrigible commander
that the predictions of his former asso-
ciates would at last be realized. What
the nature of the fate in store for Fifer
was the mystic person would not di-
vulge. He was left to choose between a
thousand humiliations and death.
After weeks of blowing through the
deep sea the cruisers arrived at Japan.
Capt. Fifer and his staff went ashore as
usual to ascertain whether their limbs
had lost any of their efficiency on land.
Every Japanese they encountered rec
ognized them as visitors for the far off
republic, and saluted them with great
respect. The American sailors finally
encountered party of aristocratic Jap
anese, who approached them and bent
low in salutation. Each OF the natives
pronounced the national word of well
come in loud tones, which in American
photography sounds like rendition of
the name Ohio. This was repeated sew
eral times until the air was full of
"Ohio, Ohio, Ohio" Capt. Fifer ex-
pressed the greatest surprise at the sa-
gacity of the Japanese. He was an
avowed resident of Ohio when at home
and always championed the cause Of his
state.
"Repeat that honeyed word again"
requested Capt. Fifer. "How did you
manage to find it out, anyhow"
"0hio, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio" came in
chorus from the mobiles.
"Yes, gentlemen, it is Ohio, and by
Jove IT is Cayuga county, too, gentle
men."-Chicago Chronicle.

shrug and the negative grunt with
which italian street merchants usually
answer such questions.
The Emperor grew trife disturbed.
These people were different from what
by experience he knew people to be
and darkness was getting to him faster
than he to his father. There are puz-
aring twists and curves In the streets
that neighbor Washington square, and
the alleys and courts end blindly. In
them he heard unpleasant voices and
woG'dS better unspclcSn, and saw blows
givea TO Which drink leRt force. Some
times at dark cruel and evil things hap
pen there. But history does not say
that the Emperor's courage failed. For
Just when 1t might have begun to
weaken the least bit, woman stepped
out OF the shadow into the fare of cleo
trio light shining from a saloon, and
asked him II he knew where he was.
Now, the emperor was first Of all q
gentleman. As he gravely lifted his han
and made courteous inclination Of his
golden head, he forgot his own troubles.
Here was lady seeking information
about the way she had missed. His blue
eyes, full Of sympathy, looked up at her
painted face, and his clear voice re-
peated that he was not sure where he
was, bat he was on his way to his father
and was bound to find him. Then, in
tones Of genuine regret, he said; "But
L is very afraid you iS lost too. Is you
lost?" Stifled memory is apt to wake
at the call OF childish voice. Hers
woke, and Travelled swiftly through the
years to where pure memories ended.
"Yes, dear little one" she sobbed, II
am lost" The empsror's firm little hand
clasped hers. "Dont cry. Empe'or will
take US both home" And so these two,
humanity far apart, brought near by a
touch OF the Divine, went from the
gloomy aIleyway to the lighted
thoroughfare together.
Suddenly, not so PAGES away, APP
peared tan man, his Lips pRle and
tightly shut, his eyes strained in eager
quest OF something he could not see.
His rapid stride had left behind another
man, who glanced kesnly right and left,
and let no person pass unnotfced. He
was cool because he knew how to Look
for what is lost, and he was confident
because the telephone ait his precinct
had put on watch every policeman on
duty below Union square and between
the two rivers. Tho tall man with pale
Lips was neither cool nor confident-he
had lost his boy.
The Emperor was a robust, sturdy
youth, but his efforts TO moderate the
Over-vigorous hugs Of father who
went from despair to joy in 50 PAGES
were Intellectual. At length the found
one gasped:
"PapaI Listen, papa! The lost lady
--Empe'or promised to get her found
again"
But there are dark byways where the
Emperor's father found him, and into
one Of these the girl ran swiftly.

About 10 O'Clock last evening large
grour OF young people, who had al

ter any cry against the United states
The chief of police endeavored to dis
perse them, but only succeeded IN drlV'
ing the crowd from the front OF the
consulate. The demonstration then
paraded along the Gale de Lafses, the
most frequented street in Malaga and,
ACCOMPANIED by very large crowd, re-
assembled in the Plaza de la Constltu'
cion.
The civil governor and mayor has
tened to the spot to calm the people,
and were received with wild cheering
put in the meantime another group
posted themselves opposite the Ameri-
can consulate. They carried a span
jsh banner, and after uttering many
patriotic cries began to throw stones
at the building. All the WINDOWS
were smashed, and part OF the furni-
ture Of the consulate seriously dam
aged.
When the crowd was as the height
of it's frenzy. ladder was brought ana
man, getting hold of the American
escutcheon, threw it to the ground
amid immense cheering. The escut-
cheon was then paraded as trophy
through the streets, and was ui'i'
mately carried to the crowded fi"z"

created great enthusiasm. -
Another group, headed by WE'LL
