The year of 1898 has broken the
record in almost every business tran
saction. The volume of business
done by the United States far ex-
ceeds that of any other year. AL
most every industry is prosperous,
and labor is employed at renluner-
alive prices. And though some of
us are not making as much money
as we would like, we know con-
ditions are improving all the
time.

Spain's Plight.

Spain's Plight.
II some one should attempt to sell
q piece of property which he does not
possess he would very likely come into
conflict with the criminal law. But
that is just what Spain has been trying
to do of late. 1t made an attempt to
sell the Philippine Islands To France.
1t was not successful III doing 90, for
France knew that it no longer possessed
good title to these islands, and did not
care to borrow trouble in perfecting
that title; 80 it politely informed Spain
that France was not looking for any
islands Just now. This incident, how.
ever, goes to show in what deplorable
straits our adversary may be, after all
attempts to get the powers to interfere
have failed. But few days ago meet
ing Of the representatives Of Germany,
France and Russia took place in Madrid
at the request Of the Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, who put the question
to them II the powers they represent
were ready to assist ip intervention In
Spain's behalf. There was no answer
- this question sDcspt from ~ am
bassador Of Germany, who said Ger
many would for the present make no
attempt at intervention.
It then that tho Spanish minister
Of foreign affairs mentioned the nego-
tiations with France In regard to sale
of the Philippine islands. He had not
long to wait for answer from Germany.
1t came in the shape Of a most vigor-
Gus protest against any cession OF the
islands to France or any other single
power. This put an end to all further
negotiations for tho present. But Ger
many goes even further than that. In
q semi-ofIicial way it declares that any
attempt on these islands at present
would be regarded as hostile act
against America and 80 treated by the
powers. 57f2.
What Spain will now do remains to
be seen. 1t cannot sell the islands in
order to raise the necessary funds for \
prosecution of the war, and it cannot
get the powers to interfere In its be-
half, while on the other hand it does not
dare to take the offensive for fear of
getting licked again and having . rev.
olution at home as a consequence
thereof. So it would seem that through
the utter inability of our adversary TO
carry on any kind of war we are COM
PEELED to look on and fight windmills.
Yet - the war expenses are going on
just the same without any tangible re-
suits being attained, the time may
come when an Intervention of the pow
ers would be hailed by US with joy, il
for no other reason than that being un-
able to carry on a war for want of an
adversary the war expenses would be
stopped BY such Observation-Disclosures

ENGLAND WANTED WAR.
aold BaeI, From Fighting France In 1895
 by the German Emperor.

eisId Back From Fighting France In lS@S
 by the German Emperor.
 The t3aalois, in Paris, recently re- lated in considerable detail that during the Siameso inbroglio of 1893 England was on the verge of declaring war against France. The power that opposed the war most vigorously was Germany. In fact, said the Gaalois, the war was prevented by the German emperor.
 "At that time, said the Gaulois, 2 {. Emperor William was at Cowes with his yacht He had wen regatta prize from Lord Dq1iraven s Vallkyrie and the Prince cf Wales Britannia. He appear cd, literally as well as tiguratiyely, to swim in English waters. Itwas as ha sat at dinner in the house ot the ROyaS Yacht squadron that he received from Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng, lish government intended to declare war against France The emperor rose from the table. laid aside his napkin and sent @ dispatch empowering his embassador ill London to protest against Lord Rose bery,s programme. Moreover, he be took himself at once to Osborne House to announce to his grandmother that he never could approve such course as re. gards Siam D
 Sometimes Paris newspapers publish articles on European politics that lack all foundation in fact, and the amazing story told by the Gaulois might have been dismissed as one of them had it not been confirmed at once by the Koel- nische zeitung, probably the most trust. worthy journal on the European conti. nent Tine Koelnisehe Zeitung's Paris correspondent ~as at Cowes with the emperor ill 1898. As soon as the Gau. lois had made it's statement he corrobo. rated it Among tbe influential English. men at.

THANK YOU"
It Is the Small Courtesies That Make Lifs
 Worth Living.


 Worth Living.
 "On every hand one hears of the neg. lect to say Thank you, ]" writes Ed ward w. Box on ''The Saying of Thank You, , in The Ladies Home Journal. "I wonder sometimes if some people really know how little of what comes to them is their due and right and how much of what comes to them is by fa- vor and courtesy The vast majority of things winch come to us come by pure favor, by courtesy. And we should rec ognize this. No act of kindness, how ever slight, should go unnoticed. 4 Thank you is simple thing to say. It requires but few moments to write it, but it often means much. 1t means ey. erything sometimes to the person re- ceiving it. It means q renewed faith in human nature in some cases. A word of thanks is never lost, never wasted. If 1t sometimes seems to be lost upon the person to whom. it is directed, it's expression has not been lost upon some one else who has heard it. It is certain. ly not lost upon ourselves. The most of us are quick enough to thank some one who does us great service. But the small courtesy, just as great as the large service in reality, we overlook. It doesn' t seem worth while to give thanks for small things. And yet what would we be today and where would some of US be but for the small eourtesies of life? They are what make life worth living.
 "It is all very well to have the last Thursday of each November set apart as day of Thanksgiving, but it would be far better if q great many of us car ried the spirit of the day into all the other days. Perhaps if we did so we might have more mercies to be thank fu1 for on Thanksgiving day. Do not let the spirit of thanks stop with night fall on Thanksgiving day. Let us ex- tend it to all the other days of the year, to the. people whose lives touch ours. When we receive favor at the hanGs of any one, no matter how smail=it may be, let us say the words, Thank you. If they should be written, let us write them. Let5us not delay them, but take ndvantage of the instant when our heart is touched. Let there be more Thank yous' said by rybody-thousands of them. And the world will be better, brighter and happier place to live in because of them.

 Atlength the grenad1crs of the guard made their appearance~-a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisned even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great, but the memorable critic merely said, "Fine soldiers, but not tall enough. "
