A Fam0uA Head Maater.

OF Keate, the most famous of all
Elton head masters, the author has much
to say. lnnumerable stories have been
told Of his fiery temper, his peculiar ap-
pearance and his strong faith in the
efficacy of birch rod, many of them
purely apocryphal.
All the world knows Kinglake's pic,
turesque description Of the little man
who wore "a fancy dress partly resem-
bling the costume of Napoleon and
partly that Of widow woman" and
has heard Keate's famous comment on
the beatitude: Blessed are the pure
in heart. Mind that. It's your duty to
be pure in heart. II you are not pure in
heart, I'll fog you!'' But it would be-
a great mistake to regard Keate as mere
ly an irascible pedagogue of eccentric
speech and manners.
He did believe il fogging, and when
the OCCASION arose dogged Wholesale
witness the famous instance when be
mistook his lists and logged all the
candidates for confirmation; also he
could not be induced to trust his boys,

GUS temper and a noble nature, as we'll

LEFT IT TO OTIS

War Department Concludes to Trust His
Judgment as to Iloilo.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The admins
tration has determined to confde to the
Judgment and tact of General Otis, in
command of the United States forces in
the Philippines thequestion whether our
troops shall be dispatched to Iloilo,
where recent Spanish reports have
stated that sanguinary conflict is in
progress between the insurgents and
the remaining, Spanish troops. Some
days ago General Otis asked the war
department if any precise instructions
were to be given in his dealing with the
situation at Iloilo. The matter was
fully canvassed by the president and
Secretary Alger, and as a result the de-
cision was reached to let General Otis,
on the ground, deal with the situation
by the exercise of his own discretion.
The reply was sent to General Otis sew
eral days ago, and it will be for him to
decide whether United States force
shall go to Iloilo and how many men
will constitute the force.

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.

Disease So Prevalent in New York City al
toCause Serious Alarm.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-The epidemic
of grippe is still in marked evidence.
There was one less death from influenza
in the boroughs Of Manhattan and the
Bronx for the statistical day ending at
noon than were reported for the previ-
GUS day, but on. the other hand there
were as many from bronchitis and more
from pneumonia. Many Of the recent
deaths from pneumonia have meen indi-
rectly due to the grippe. Furthermore,
physicians claim that the prevalence Of
the grippe, with the consequent general
weakening of the system, causes an in
crease in mortality on all lines.
The deaths from all diseases reported
numbere l6 more than the day before.
During the last four days, according to
the register of records of. the health de-
partment, the deaths from all causes
have meen $50.

The Ambition to Be .tLiterary."

The Ambition to Be 'SLiterary."
The, reading club on< the whole has
been a, blessing as an educational inf1u-
ence, but there are cases where light
drafts from the literary spring have not
been beneficial. 1t must be owned that
az ambition to become literary, when
aroused in shallow mind, often has
the effect Of uniting it for proba bill
ties of achievement, while failing to
reit it for possibilities. To the super
fetal woman whose desire is to get into
the trend of the fashion the "pa per" of
the literary club becomes delusion and
a. snare. 1t tenpts to mental masquerade
ing and plagiarism and in many cases
has robbed women of needed rest and Of
a naturalness that is part of their charm.
Having no very original thoughts of a
given subject and no we'll defined idea
of it's proper treatment, she takes the
reference books, not as suggestive helps,
but in the, way of completion, and 60
unconsciously often becomes a cheat and
subjects herself to intellectual democrat
ization.-Mary r. Baldwin in Woman's
Home Companion.

Colmissary General Pagan Objects to
References to His Department.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26. - General
Eagan, commissary general Of subsis-
tence, gave out the following statement
in reference to his contemplated action
on statements made by General Miles
concerning commissary supplies fur
nished the army:
General Eagan has referred to Gen.
eral Miles the published article pur
porting to be an interview with General
Miles in regard to the military supplies,
asking whether the statements attrib-
uted to him General Miles, were made
by him, or any Of them, or which Of
them, or to what extent the statements
are correct. General Eagan does not
propose to discuss this very serious mat
ter in the public press, but has asked,
first, if General Miles avows or dis
avows this interview, and has also asked
the investigating commission for a true
copy Of the statements (that were not
sworn toy made by General Miles
before it. General Eagan has also
asked the investigating commission to
be called before it for the purpose of
rebutting and refuting the statements
alleged to have been
Made BY General Miles
and published in the press; to an
swer these OF any statements made by
General Miles, under oath, and espec-
tally and particularly to meet the al
legged charge Of furnishing anything
whatever, under pretense of expert
ment. General Eagan is Of the opin-
ion that the proper place to discuss the
merits of this matter is before the in
vestigating commission, and before the
courts, civil and military, where the
widest latitude will be given to ali
concerned; where the conduct of Gen.
eral Miles and the conduct Of General
Eagan, under oath, may have the full
est. most exhaustive examination and
analysis, concerning any or all charges
that may be brought by either, to the
end that justice shall be done. In view
of this already inaugurated action, Cen
eral Eagan deems it unmilitary and i'm
proper to make charges against anybody
whatever in the service, but thinks the
law, military and civil, is ample to be
invoked in the cause Of truth and JUS
tice. General Eagan contents himself
with complete denial of the statements
alleged by General Miles,"

Shooting Dreams.

gun, and has often wondered if this
happens with other dreamers. Ny own

think may be too general to be peculiar.
An older brother, however, once had
"a different experience. The gun Of our
earlier boyhood days was an old flint
lock queen s arm that had the power to
shoot off a tree top and an almost equal
reverse force. 1t was the idol as we'll
as the terror of our young lives, and
was carried over the New Hampshire
hills with heroic feelings.
One night, in the stiffness of the later
hours, there was tremendous jar in
our sleeping room, as if heavy body
had been violently thrown down. Pater:

rushing in just as. my brother, in a
semi somnolent condition, was slowly
gathering himself up from the floor to
regain his place in bed, from which he

When seen, General Miles declined to
make any statement whatever for publ
cation concerning the matter, but it is
understood that he will not retract what
he has said. He has made careful in
vestigation of the beef question, and his
statements before the war commission
some days ago were fortified by reports
from reg imental commanders and sur
geons. 1t is presumed by those close to
him that General Miles proposes to
make a statement to the secretary Of
war concerning the condition of the
meat furnished his army, and that such
action may be taken in the premises as
may be deemed proper.
