the invasion Of Cuba There was
particularly handsome white broncho

But one of the cowboys saw prize

the pony began bucking and made

minutes. He would jump in the air,
come down stiff legged. with his back
bumped like a camel's, twist himself
in the shape Of letter S, kick. bite,
roll his glaring eyes. and then repeat
the whole performances.
Through 1t all the cowboy sat In the
saddle as though he had grown there,
and grinned his pleasure at the sand
and agility shown by the pony. Fin
ally the little horse concentrated ali
his strength, cunning and activity in
to one mighty buck that was enough to
stir a church steeple from its founda-
ton. The result made the cowboy
look as though he had lost his liant
friend and was bent on avenging his
death. He took the pony in hand with
spurs and bit, yanked him about as
though he did not weigh more than
ten pounds, and soon had him trem-

were convulsed with laughter. Tile

jolted a quart of whisky from his nip

STILL UNCHANGED

Nothing has occurred at Havana to
change the situation as epitomized in
yesterday mornings Herald. The rails
ing of the wreck of the Maine will be
long and tedious process, and the Off
cial finding may be delayed indefinitely.
The Spanish battle-ship Viscaya has
arrived in New York harbor, where she
is carefully guarded by the harbor po-
lice. The authorities do not propose to
take any chances, and the fanatic or
crank who should attempt to do for the
Viscaya what has happened to the
Maine would labor under difficulties.
The statement sent out by President
Mckinley, published elsewhere in this
mornings paper, tends to confirm the
theory that the Maine was blown up as
the result of an accident, while his as
surance that prompt and decisive steps
will be taken should it prove to be other

The anticipated benefits to be enjoyed

Improved waterways and enhanced

plus fruit of this immediate locality
cannot always be successfully marketed
in this country, in competition with pro-

Gates the purpose of the navy depart
ment to speedily dispatch another war
vessel to Havana to take the place OF
the Inflated Maine.
In the absence of stern necessity for
immediate naval representation there.
and While the cause of the calamity to
the Maine is as yet an unsolved problem,
this decision would not seem to be based
upon the highest wisdom, or even Or
dinary prudence. Many people hold to
the theory that the Maine drifted upon
submerged torpedo, placed there be-
fore her arrival-just when it does not
SO much matter-and we have been
helped to testimony going to show that
members or the crew of the Maine at
least believed the vessel to be resting
upon volcano for some days prior to
the calamity.
Until, therefore, it has been demon
strated beyond reasonable doubt that
there was no ground whatever for the
apprehension or the sailors in the one
case, or evidence in support of the the
ory noted in the other, the sending of
another battle-ship into the same har-

The country will cheerfully brook the
slight delay occasioned by an examina-
tion into the safety of Spanish-des-
ignated anchorage in the harbor Of
Havana. Should the fact be deveIoned
by it that Spain, in violation of infer
national law, has placed torpedoes there
sndangering the vessels of peaceful ma

ing of our entire navy, instead of
single vessel, and at the same time suc-
cessfully appeal for approval to the civ

Ladylike Traits Of British Bishops

The bishop of London distributed on
Wednesday at Southall the prizes gained
by the scholars of the Marylebone Union
schools. In the course Of the proceedings
1t was mentioned that the present arch
bishop of Canterbury, acting in similar
capacity when bishop of London, took
great interest in the darning prize and ex-
planned that he was formerly regarded as
an expert darner. The bishop said that
he could not lay claim to the same ac-
complishments as his predecessor. but was
handy with his needle and capable of sew
ing on buttons. Quite recently lady Wis
itor, who had the misfortune to lose a
glove button while leaving his residence,
commended him for the neat manner in
which he was able to sew 1t on again for
her. The best knitter he had known was
clergyman, and even the boys among the
audience could do no worse than make
themselves expert with their needless

A LONESOME EDITOR

Arthur McEwen is something of a
journalist, tipped with yellow, but he
lacks a great deal Of the stature of a
statesman, and is scarcely entitled to
be classed as fairly good politician.
After the Democratic party in every
state but one had reaffirmed the Chi
cago platform and practically adopted
a vote of confidence in Mr.. Bryan, Mr.
McEwen broke into print with the sug-
gestion that he either abandon the field
or surrender the principle involved in
the controversy, the ratio of tradition
and Of the party.
Since the publication of his letter the
party in both houses of congress has
ator failing in loyalty to it - for
free silver coinage at 16 to 1.
And although the newspaper which
gave place to the McEwen letter,
published in the greatest Democratic
stronghold in the country, freely opened
it's columns to general expression re-
garding the objections to the man and
the cause, raised only by its editor over
his own signature, more than 80 per
cent Of the responses were in disap-
proval of his propositions.
Mr.. McEwen could have scarcely
adopted more successful method of
proving the worthlessness, as we'll as the
completeness, of his monopoly of politi-
cal views

NOTES OF THE DAY

'The indulgent care with which the Lord
watches over FOOLS" in the words of
western writer. was recently attested in
Fort Scott, Kan. when a forgetful man
built fire in a stove on top of which
he had left a can of kerosene and pack
age of powder. and neither exploded.
Chief Haddock of the bureau of building
inspection in Philadelphia recommends
that the height of buildings in that city be
limited by law, and that none, even, on
the widest street, have a greater height
than $50 feet. Otherwise. he says. the
city's narrow streets may become gloomy
canyons, unsanitary, with the light Of day
virtually shut QUIT
Few people have any idea of how much
money is spent by the municipality of
Paris in planting and looking after the
trees which line the principal boulevards
and avenues of the French capital. The
annual report of the superintendent gives
the total number of trees planted at 81, ,655.
each of which represents an annual cost
of s35. The annual expenditure for MAIN
tenance is s52, 500.
1t Is said of the Aberdeen Journal, which
has recently celebrated its one hundred
and fiftteth birthday. that In one of its
earliest numbers, now unhappily lost from
the files, participant in the battle OF
Culloden was interviewed two days after
that historic combat. 1t was about the
earliest newspaper interview on record, IL
so. and the loss OF the number containing
1t is much to be deplored.
Cranberrfes are not injured by freezing.
They are often sent as far as Manitoba in
open box cars. When they arrive they are
frozen into solid blocks of ice. The sides
of the cases are knocked off and the ber-
ries are exposed in solid mass. like cakes
of ice. They are chopped Off exactly like
ice. and the citizen of Winnipeg is so ac-
customed to buying his cranberries in
blocks that he doesn't mind in the least.
Another New York society woman whose
husband is down on his luck is going into
trade, and a peculiar trade at that. In
stead OF branching out in the millinery line
she will devote her talents to the dressing
of the so-called society drama in accord-
ance with the canons that prevail In the
world of fashion. As gowns nowadays
count as much as the performance, this
new departure will be set down as one
step toward the long talked of elevation
of the stage.

Everyday Philosophy

Every man thinks of himself as boy
longer than he should.
An alimony of $50 a month is worth more
to woman than the average husband.
A fat man doesn't care to be told tina,
he is smart or good looking; he wants
to be told that he is growing thinner
After a man is 80, in thinking of coastine
he considers the walk back
1t is doubtful If any woman loves the
Lord to the extent of being willing to loan
her cut glass for a church social.
However sad a man may feel, he loses
his look of sadness when eating a good
dinner.
A man who is single at 45 is no smarter
than other men, but he is luckier than
most of them.
