It has always been our boast that
we are peaceful nation; yet just as
soon as talk of war electrified the
country it became apparent that our
defensive and offensive strength is
equal to that of any country in the
world. Instead of having crippled our
navy, the cowardly destruction of the
hattleship Maine in Havana harbor has
really strengthened it by giving an al
most incredible impetus to naval con-
struction in American shipyards.

tration of milkmen in towns of over

years the milkmen have been licensed

An Old Feud BrealtS Out.


An old feud between ex-Mayor John
Ludwig and Martin Stadleman of Wi.
mona came to a climax on Third street
Monday and resulted in Mr.. Stadleman
receiving severe Gaming at the hands
OF Mr.. Ludwig. His head was cut in
several places. 1t seems that the
trouble between these two well-known
citizens is of long standing. Mr.. Lud-
wig says that Mr.. Stadleman has in
suited himself and family for years,
and only few days ago insulted Mrs.
Ludwig when they met on the street:
Mr.. Ludwig told Mr.. Stadleman that
these doing would have to stop. Mr..
Stadleman retorted by using an op-
probrious epithet and Mr.. Ludwig
used his cane. Mr.. Stadleman states
that it was Mr.. Ludwig who used the
language which provoked the assault.

Tamarind Water.-Pour a pint of
boiling water on one-quarter of a pound
of preserved tamarinds; allow it to
stand for half an hour, keeping quite
hot; then strain off the water. It can
be served hot or allowed to cool and
served with cracked ice. In either case
it is refreshing and wholesome drink
for the sickroom.
Russian Tea.-To one quart of cold
tea add the juice Of two large lemons;
pour into glasses supplied with cracked
ice and sugar to taste. This is1a very
cooling drink for hot weather and sat-
isfes the thirst as few cold drinks do.

Robbed the Mail.

The United States mail was robbed
at Grove City. Two pouches are re.
ceived there every night and Agent
Wilson, who was alone and very busy,
did not take them in as soon as they
were thrown off the train. When he
looked for them, after the train had
pulled out. the pouch containing the
letters was missing. 1t was thought
that but one pouch was thrown off, the
other being carried by, but the next
morning the missing pouch was found
by brakeman beside the track in an
old shed. 1t was ripped open and
robbed. not a scrap being left. Two
suspects have been arrested at Litch.
field. and it is believed they are the
right men. They evidently are tramps.
Nothing is known as to the value of
the contents of the pouch.

Thrifty Spanish Soldiers,
Children on tsTattlinc.n

Not long ago 1000 schoolchildren in
Utica were asked by Superintendent
Griffith to give their written opinion
anonymously, it is supposed-as to
whether one pupil should testify
against another. Voluntary telling, or
"tattling," was not meant in the test,
but only Is per cent. of the children
noted the distinction, so that the result
may be accepted as the children's opin-
ion of the '.tattler." The question was
asked whether it was right or wrong,
and it appears that of the 1884 who an
swered theiquestion 494 boys, or IS per
cent. and 375 girls, or IS per cent. con-
sidered it right to tell--the largest per-
centage Of both regarding it as wrong.

Jack Tars Of the EsQuimalt Fleet Desert
to Fight For Uncle sam.
The British Jack Tars of the Esqui.
malt feet are as dogs Of war tuggipg
at their chains. At present there are
1000 of them on the streets Of vancou-
yer from five warships in port, and they
talk freely of their desire to add luster
to the glory Of the Anglo-Saxon race.
1t Ia not the sinallness Of their pay that
makes them long to join the United
States havy, though SO cents day for
crack gunners is bad enough, nor is il
the strict discipline Of the British navy.
1t is their fighting blood aroused by the
accounts Of the glorious victories Of
their American cousins. With these
sentiments prevailing the desertions
have been heavy, principally of marines
and few crack gunners and sailors.
The deserters are said by petty officers
to have gone straight to San francisco
TO enlist in the Uhited States navy for
active service.
Among them is Paddy Brickley, crack
gunner in charge of the o. .02 inch gun
on the flagship Imperieuse, pet of the
Esquimalt fleet and the pride Of the
navy. He was special favorite Of the
admiral, who referred TO him as having
no superior as o crack shot in the Brit
ish navy. One OF the sailors, speaking
of his skill, said: "At our last practice
we sighted small raft in the ocean
with several masts erected on it and
steamed away until it was but black
splash in the distance. Brickley would
call the mast he was going to fetch
down eight times out of ten." If Uncle
Sam wants Brickley, he can have him,
and he will have man worthy to fight
beside the Yankee gunners who demol-
ished the fleets Of Montijo aud Cervera.

Governor Flower put off, bringing orders,

also brought on board the first detachment

story of tho Olivette' 8 arrival for the morn

all after finishing that assignment.
But neither the reporters nor the mes
sengers with the orders were the earliest
visitors that morning. They were two
men in rowboat with q consignment Of
the morning papers--six Of each. AS
they rowed alongside one Of the men called
out:
Here are some papers, boys, but you
must give promise before you get 'em.
You mustn' u drop any money down. We
want to blow you off to the news. We
couldn't stand it to furnish every man
with paper, but there's enough TO help
you out some. All right? Well, then,
take EN- and divide 'em around as well as
you can"
