situation. he was writing a letter in
his room at the time.
HE went to the room where these
giants we're and he told them to come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to
an orderly: bring mt my revolver.
Aud when he had his pistol he again
called upon the men to come out and
they did not move. Then he said: Il
am going to count three; if you are
not out here with your hands held up
on the third count you won't come cut

HE counted one, then he cooked
the revolvers, and he counted two. We
all expected to hear the reports, for
we knew that Dewey meant what he
said. The men knew it, too. They
stepped out just in time to save their
lives and held up their hands, and
they had been partially sobered by
their fright and the moral effect of
Dewey's glance.
Zone of them said Afterwards that
when he saw Dewey's eyes, he knew
that he would either be a dead jacky
in moment or he would have to yield,
and when the irons were put upon him
he was as sober as he he ever was in
his life. Dewey went back to his room
and finished the letter he was writing

CARNATIONS sprang up thick as h0ps all

poor, rs is shown in 8 few large estab-
lishments here and in q large number
in England where highest results are
obtained in raising the lowly. Hon.
CARROLL d. Wright. speaking Of the
working classes, says:
81 know of no trust more sacred
than that given into the hands of the
captains of industry, for they deal
with human beings in close and vital
relations; not through the media Of
speech Or Of exhortation, but Of posi-
tive association, and by this they can
make or mar. Granted thst the ma
terial is often poor. very poor, the in-
tellects dull and that the apathy of the
operatives often offer antagoniem to
efforts in their behalf. then all the
more sacred the trust and all the
greater the responsibility. The rich
and powerful employer holds in his
hands something more than means Of
mere sustenance for those he employees
he holds their moral well being in his
keeping and he thus becomes some
thing greater than q producer" Thus
the material is thrown back on the
moral and in the development of u
American industries we have a great
remedy for poverty.
Oar own Emerson was inspired to
write:
"Out from the heart Of nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible old,
The litanies of nations came
Like the volcanoes tongue of fame
Up from the burning care below
The canticles Of love and woe"
And n of these burdens, a Of
these litanies Of nations and cantiCles
Of woe sounds no uncertain trumpet
call to duty: 'sJudge righteously,
plead the cause Of the poor and needy,
defend the poor and fatherless, do JUS
tice to the needy and relieve the OPP
pressed" And this call shall no longer
die away unanswered. Americas soul
is stirred. For 5000 years the world
heard the call, centuries Of apparent
lethargy passed away with no response.
But OF late years there has been an
awakening and an answer is being
given forth, feeble indeed when COM
pared to the urgency and portentous
scope of the call, yet an answer full Of
the most magnificent promise. Social
Democracy is fast coming. Critics
assail it, fanatics oppose it, but it is
lighted by pure motives far above the
heads of the unfaithful and in the pure
air Of love it shall develop and over
spread a people, diffusing into their
lives the great sense Of human brother
hood and inherent dignity of man.
And our future history shall contain
few things more truly beautiful than
the story of this awakening of tender
ness and love for our brothers.

THE SPANISH IDEA.

A popularity of caste in Cuba is
thus expressed in The ChautauQuan:
ga Spaniard was born in Spain. His
son, who was born in Cuba, is not a
Spaniard, but a Cuban. If a Cuban
should go to Madrid when he is two
weeks old and spend all his life in the
palace he would still be Cuban, AMI
not quite as good as q Spaniard. 1t
a Spaniard should go to Havana when
he is two weeks old and spend all his
life in the city or upon a plantation,
he would still be Spaniard and enjoy
n distinction and social position which
a Cuban can never attain. The sons
and daughters of Spaniard are Gu
bans if they are born in Cuba; but the
sons and grandsons and great grand
sons of a Cuban must always be Gu
bans, no matter if they were born In
Madrid and spend their whole lives in
that city No Cuban can ever become
a Spaniard, no matter what happens
to him, and from the Spanish point OF
view he is degenerate"

GLOBE SIGHTS.
(From the Atchison Globes

VI TOIu the AtCn1SOn OlODe.J
The season has arrived when 1t is too
hot for hugging.
After a woman passes IS. if she mar
RES at all. the chances are that she will
marry man younger than herself.
About half the time, man feels like
cat which has just eaten the canary;
he is getting lot of abuse for eating a
mighty poor bird.
By beginning to nag boy at eight in
the morning, he can be induced to begin
a piece of work by the time he should be
getting ready for bed at night.
A woman's idea of getting real reck-
less is to cut loose. and tell all she
knows.
Occasionally when people marry. the
mate they select causes some surprise
that they were never taken in by the
freight bill racket.
The old fashioned woman who spanked
her children "black and blue" lives in
town. and has changed the 'colors to
red. white and blue"
1t is well to remember that if your
friends think you are a charming con-
versatonalist, your enemies regard you
as great gossip, and that they may be
right.

SOLDIERS LIFE EASIER.
Protection Weapons and Food AL
Vastly Improved of Late Years.

Although soldering would seem to
be a more perilous business than it
ever was before, in consequence of the
greater force, rapidity and range of
| weapons and the higher power of ex-
plosives, the result may show that
modern battles are not more deadly
than were those in the civil war, since
an attempt has been made to counter
act the destructive forces by stouter
projections in forts by a system of tao
tics that replaces the old solid fortifi-
cations with something like the skirm-
ish order of former times. 1t may be,
also, that the troops will fight at fur
Their distance, allowing for the longer
carriage of bullets and shells.
But of one thing we are certain If
the perils of war have been multiplied
the comforts of the camp have been in
creased until they are partial Offset
Clothing is stouter, if the millers
choose to make it so; camp outfits in
clude cooking apparatus that can be
carried on the back of one man; the
canning of meats, vegetables and
fruits, the dessication of other articles
of food, and the general cheapening of
many things that we're luxuries a few
years ago make it possible to live in
camp almost as in hotel. The SUBJ
stitution of aluminium for iron in uten-
sis is another advantage and in gener-
al there is a tendency to both lightness
of outfit and extension of properties
contained in it.
In addition to the articles provided
by the government in its clothing and
ration allowances the man with the
gun is now allowed to buy and have
pipes, tobacco, soap, writing materials,
pens, basins, backing brushes, silk
handkerchiefs, matches, towels and an
addition to his menu in cheese, canned
goods, dried fruits, deviled ham, pre-
serves, white sugar, lime juice, Wor-
cestershire sauce, pickles, Jam, ginger,
spices and cranberry sauce. Rum is
discountenanced in hot countries, for
it encourages sunstroke and intensifies
other troubles peculiar to the climate.

punch would become bondholder in a

THE MOTE IN THE EVE.


We have had good deal of fun at
one time and another over the peculiar
antics of the Spanish mind in it's fail
ure to appreciate the size of this cour-
try and the difficulty of travelling from
one side of it to the other In a few
hours Many amusing stories have
been told to illustrate the utter inca
pacity of the average Spaniard to real
ize that this is the most enormous
stretch of civilized territory on the
globe, and that an army of invasion
larger than the greatest military force
assembled in Europe today would be
practically lost in trying to occupy all
the important cites and hold all the
strategic points. One Spanish offcia,
has been quoted as saying that the day
after Spanish army of occupation
had landed at Tampa or some other
Florida point it would be investing
Washington. And so on, to the ex-
IRENE of absurdity and childishness.
Yet ridiculous as this misconceptions
seems to us, the American idea of what
was to happen in the war with Spain
has involved similar error. Havana
| was to be bombarded forthwith. In
stanter. A tremendous army of inva-
sion was to be landed within two days
after war was declared. Ships were to
be sent at once to Spain and take pos
session of Cadiz within fortnight
Within a month everything ought to
be well in hand, the American flag fly
ing triumphantly over every important
possession of Spain, Cuba free and es-
tablished on a secure basis of indie
pendent government, Spain humb]ed.
our victory won without a scratch. 1t
was to be a sort of military prestidig
itation, in the twinkling of an eye.
Even shrewd thinkers were deceived
in the estimate they advanced at the
start as to how long the war might
last. General Lee, among others, cal
culated that something less than
month would be required to subdue
Spain in Cuba. But General Lee and
all others who thus figured on a brief
campaign were unprepared for the
sudden extension of the horizon caused
by Dewey's complete victory at Manila
| This broadened the area of ho5tilities
10y many thousand miles. The neces-
sites were correspondence increased.
while the ability to meet them was moi
enlarged Another factor developed
to prolong the period required for the
subjugation of Spain in Cuba itself.
The insurgent army, reckoned upon
at first as of the highest value in any
campaign on land in the island, was
found to be an insufficient reliance FOR
such work. The campaign must be
initiated and conducted with Ameri
can soldiers, aided by the insurgent
forces to some extent, but sent to Cuba
with the understanding that victory
depends primarily upon their OWL eff
forts This American army has to be
created, equipped and transported
Gradually the proportions of the ar
are being revealed to the people. The
jealous citizen who laughed immod
erately at the short-sighted Spaniard
who would land an army at Norfolk
one day and capture Chicago two days
later now begins to realize that he has !
something of a mote in his own eye
and that his vision must be readjust- |
ed to the changing requirements of a |
serious campaign.
