Annmia is 2 condition often called ''poVs
erty OF blood" from deficiency Of the red
corpuscles which give to thin fluid its chars
acteristic color. 1t arises from insufhciency
of assimilation of the proper materials Of
food to replenish the blood, as in chlorotio
girls. 1t may occur in persons who have
women from repeated discharges Of blood
from the uterus. The lips and tongue lose
their natural red color and become white

Il like to see it, and / wish 1t was true

the large number Of public buildings here

Nothing arouses the patriotism of this

STOP AT HAVANA

They had heard nothing from the United

reached Havana. and all |, found out
there was from Spanish ca. .oms officer,
who said the Maine had been blown up by
the insurgents. Taylor told him plainly
that he did not believe a word Of it. and
If he was running the American govern
ment he would wipe Spain from the face
OF the earth on general principles. The
Spanish officer didn't like it, Mr.. Taylor
said that at first they desired to go ashore,
but they were informed from Gen. Lees
office that 1t would be better for them
to remain on board the vessel, which they
did
NO PLACE FOR A POOR MAN
Mr.. Taylor concludes his interview by
stating that Colombia, at present, is no
place for poor man. but there are splen-
did opportunities for men of means to
accumulate fortunes in the mining busi-
ness. The country is very malarious in
places, as the rivers are full of decaying
vegetation; but as rapidly as the land is
cleared the country becomes moro healthy
There are many places there now where the
sanitary conditions are perfect, but if
man goes into the mines he should be Wig
orous and healthy to begin with, and then
he should rapidly learn to take care of
himself. He believes there is great future
for that country, and that during the next
generation or two Americans will swarm
into that new country and Americanize it
the way they did the Pacific coast.

JOKE SHAMED CONGRESS
Man From Out-of-Town Thought
Washington Monument Chimney


A well-known Washington lawyer sai6
to correspondent of the New York Trib-
une recently:
THE confession of several prominen,
senators, when it was proposed to gild
the figure on the dome of the Capitol
that they did not know precisely what il
was, reminded me of mistake made
by a friend of mine from out of town,
who was visiting here just before work
was resumed on the Washington monu-
ment.
THE monument now is the most con-
spicuous feature of the city, but while it
remained a mere stump was unimpres-
sive and seldom visited. My friend, a
well-informed man, had actually forgot
ten that even a start had bee made on
such structure.
I'VE were walking down from the Ar
lington hotel toward the treasury de-
partment. The trees were bare, and the
view toward the Potomac was unob-
structed. My friend remarked on the
stretch of river and then on the unfin.
ished monument.
"'What is that? he asked.
Il thought he was jesting. but wher
| saw he was in earnest / replied, What
is your guess?
"Oh, l don't know. Something con-
nected with your water works?' Then ]
told him, and I think never saw a mar
more embarrassed.
"'Please don't repeat this with my
name he asked. I should never hear. the
last of it at home. Why don't they fin
sh the thing?'
Why don't you out-of-town people
stir up congress on the subject?' I re-
piled.
Shortly after this work on the monu-
ment was resumed, and it has since been
the humorous claim of my friend tha,
his blunder got out and shamed congress
into action"

It Made No Difference

A story is told of the Rev. T. ]. Leak at
the reunion of the Chapman ushers is
worth retelling, says the Pittsburg Chron-
icle-Telegraph. The doctor dwelt on the
unity of spirit manifested at the meetings
and said that people could always work to-
gether when they were in good spirits.
1t made him think Of young couple about
to get married. The evening before the
wedding, as they were talking over the
affair, Mary said: John, there's some-
thing think l should tell you. which I
have never told you.'
