NR MUDD $ STRENGTH.

Where will the votes 90 should Maio

20 to Governor Lowndes, when they were
nominated on an anti-lowndes ticket?
Hardly. Whether Judge McComas will
have more friends in the city delegation
than these claimed for him remains, there
fore, to be seen. This calculation leaves
ont entirely Mr.. Mudd's strength. Mr..
Mudi will be placed in nomination in the
caucus by the votes of Charles county, g,
followed up by Prince Georges, d. four
votes in all. Where will Mr.. Mudd's
strength go if he becomes an impossibility?
Will it 20 to Major Shaw, who is backed
up by the Malster-Wilson combination,
when ii was understood that the Baltimore
city delegation Or larger part of it would
be for Mudd for Senator, and which seems
now to have gone back on him? Will it 70
to Lowndes? The proceedings of the Ocean
City convention, when the break came be-
tween Senator Wellington and Congress-
man Mudd, are fresh in the minds of the
public, and it would seem they would
hardly go in this direction.
'It remains to be seen where he will
throw his strength. 1t must not be for
gotten that Mr.. Mudd is one Of the most
astute politicians in the State.
''ln the above calculations the one vote
of Howard county, the two votes of Caroline
county, the one vote of Kent county and
the one vote of Baltimore county have not
been taken into consideration.

What Plain People Think

The plain, everyday people of the United
States hold that a nation is like man;
when it has received an insult and blow
it is high time to fight. Furthermore, peo-
pie unhampered by books feel that for a
nation like this to sit idly by and watch
cowardly barbarians like the Spaniards
torture and starve wretched non-combat-
ants, almost within cannon shot of its
boundaries, would amount to a national
compounding of crime.-Kansas City

er Capt. Duncan nor Mr.. Cutler took ex-

Mr.. Clemens cast them for star parts, but
another member of the party, who is now
engaged in business on Nassau street, did,
and he has never been willing to admit that
Mr.. Clemens successful book justified the
liberties the author took with the person
alities of the "Innocents." This mans
friends have quoted the book to him until
the very name of 1t enrages him, and he has
frequently said that it was 2 piece of inn
pertinence on Mr.. Clemens part to write

Death Of One of Mark Twain's Heroes

Capt. Charles c. Duncan, who died at
Northfield, Mass, several days ago, be-
came known to thousands of Americans as
the commander of the steamer Quaker
City, which carried Mark Twains "Inno-
cents Abroad" on their memorable trip
through the Mediterranean, and for years
after Mr.. Clemens book was published
Capt. Duncan was pointed out wherever
he went as one of the heroes of it. The
illustrations in the book didn't do justice
to the gallant commander of the Quaker
City, but the author made up for them by
the skill with which he panied the cap
tain's character. Bloodgood H. Cutler, who
figured as the poet lariat" in "Innocents
Abroad" and whose verses were among
the tribulations of the Quaker City's COM

THE YANKEE SPIRIT

Old Uncle Sam he sez: II guess
I'm gettin' played out" sez he
"They're CROWN so in the big u. S.
That they've got no use for me.
The east and west don't seem ter hitch,
And the north and south won't mix;
And all that jibes with their pesky tribes
Is money and politics."
Old Uncle Sam had said his word,
And he set him down and sighed;
But a sneakin', mean. little rascal heard,
That lived on the other side.
"Well, now," sez he, " can pay my grudge
That feller is almost gone.
Here's a chance to lick" So he fetched a
kick
On old Uncle Sans pet corn.
Old Uncle Sam he felt the whack,
And riz with a sorter moan;
my folks hain't standin' behind my back, u
Sez he; 1T must fight alone"
He stopped, fer up from the land behind
In thunderin' crash and beat,
Rang out the huns of thousand drums
And the tramp of a million feet.
Old Uncle Sam he turned his head
And looked at monstrous throng,
Who sang, with the starry flags outspread
The old Star Spangled" song.
And there wa MT no north, and there want
no south,
And there wan no east nor west
But each was part of a mighty heart
That beat in nations breast.
Old Uncle Sam he heard 'em yell
go in, and we'll back you up as we'll
AS our fathers did afore;
Well give yer money, we'll give yer men,
We're with you, heart and hand;
And We'll strew our slain from gulf ter
Maine,
For the honor of Yankeeland''
Old Uncle Sam he whirled around,
And his face was all aglow;
And he sorter smiled at that furrun hound
And he sez: "Well, dunno;
We may seem lost in the greed fer gold,
Divided and all upset;
But when we're right and we've got ter
fight,
reckon we're true blue YETI

If blood will tell. perhaps that is why

If in doubt about an experiment get
some other fellow to try it first.
