done, one being the retention OF the
bay, city and the harbor of Manila,
just what the protocol gives temporar-
lily. Another is that Subig bay and
sufficient amount of territory for a
naval and coaling station be secured
and the building up of an American
city Mt that place begun. Still another
idea, which is being considered, Is the
retention of the island of LuZon, the
advocates of that plan believing that
there would be trouble between the
governments which occupied a portion
of the island with line of demarka-

The final determination as TO the
government of Porto Rico and the set
tlement of the government of Cuba are
problems for settlement but the im
preston prevails that these islands will
become quite rapidly Americanized
and every encouragement for them to
do so will be given. Porto Rico will
be under military control for the pres

Boys in Camp.

BOYS IN camp
Washington, Aug. 13.-In response
to an urgent invitation from General
Breckenridge to visit the camp of
Chickamnuga, President Mckinley
wrote as follows:
'Replying to your invitation, l beg
to say that it would give me great
pleasure to show by II personal visit
to Chickamauga Park, my high regard
for the 10000 troops of your command
who so patriotically responded to the
call for volunteers and who have been
for upwards of two months making
ready for any service and sacrifice the
country might require. My duties,
howevor, will not admit of absence
from Washington at this time.
1.-THE highest tribute that can be paid
to the soldier is to say that he per-
formed his full duty. The field of duty
is determined by his government, and
wherever that chances to be is the
place of honor. All have helped in the
great cause, whether il, camp or battle,
and when peace comes, all will be
alike entitled to the nations graft
tude.'

Literary Revival In Germany.

The movement in contemporary
German literature, says j. Firman
Coar in The Atlantic, is in many
ways similar to the "Storm and
Stress" period of the seventh and
eighth decades of the last century.
Out of that movement was evolved
the great classic period Of German
literature, with Goethe and Schiller
as its leaders. Out of the present
movement there bids fair to come a
second period Of rare literary pro-
ductiveness, in which, according to
all present indications, Wildenbruch,
Sudermann and Hauptmann will
take first rank. Whatever position
posterity may assign to these three
writer's in the literature of their
country their position in oontem-
porary literature at least is assured,
for in the drama, wherein they have
achieved their greatest successes,
they stand head and shoulders above
all competitors. It is with increased
pleasure that the lover of good lit
erature sees the younger generation
in Germany fulfilling the hopes to
which 1bsen gave rise.

Laziness is bad disease and, like
many other kinds, is often self i'm.
posed. In the case of many indi-
viduals it is an inherited malady,
and consequently hard to GUST from
the system, but it is often the case
that the disgusting temper is
brought on persons by their own
deliberate selfishness, by a vastly
discreditable disposition to shirk the
inevitable burdens incident to living
decent life. Laziness of this kind
is one of the cardinal sins and
should submit the obnoxious offend
er to the discipline of a treadmill.
More particularly is laziness often
sive to the young and healthy. To
learn to work and work oheerfully
is the central lesson of life. Begin
to learn it early, eschew laziness as
the most disgusting of all faults and
one that will surely end in hopeless
misery, for, depend upon it, none
can be $50 insensible through laziness
as to be in the end incapable of suf-
fering. Nature is, in the event of a
nonpayment of her demands, a stern
