among the wagons and other cabs

ward was talking away in a terrific
fashion about the wife and babies wait

hadn't said word about it to anyone,
but as she folded her thin white hands
in restful gratitude after so much wor-
riment and confusion she could think
of nothing but those long, black let

Lollie took Marg'ret to see the city's
long drives next day; excursions to
art galleries, long hours in the gor-
geous shops and the wonderful offices
left the visitor little time to think much
of the strangely-named boat. But some
way, when the second night came and
Lollie again tucked her into bed, tired
but happy, her thoughts flew again to
the long, black letters on the snowy
boat.
At the end of the first week Miss
Marg'ret was more and more convinced
that it was a matter that needed inves-

puzzle out, without aid from anyone
else. The first day of the second week

German Editors Comment ON the
Subject.

NEW YORK, June 3.-A dispatch to
the Herald" from Berlin says:
The editor of the "Vossische Zeitung"
in an interview says: I'VE cannot
help wishing the United States success
in the main. hoping they may put an
end to the miserable state of die elende
witchcraft in Cuba, but we should net
be sorry to see the Yankees receive a
couple of denksettin (sharp souvenirs)
let US say, first AS for the question
of the future Of the Philippines that is a
serious matter, still in a state of liuue-
faction. 1t is premature even to talk
about it,
The editor of the "Berliner Neue
Stem" says: This is a serious busi-
ness. It's first effect has been to in
terfere with commerce all the world
over. From the point of view of a
dispassionate outsider, I looked on the
declaration Of war of the United States
as it. can only be looked upon, as the
trespassing upon the sphere of power Of
a European monarchy. If the United
states gains the day promptly, they
will turn longing eyes after a time tow
ard the West Indian Islands and Cana
da. OF course. they do not admit this,
but they are quite honest in so doing,
for they do not themselves know it now
Thus England's course in encouraging
the United States may be very clever
from a short-Sighted and temporary
point Of view. but judged from a wider
perspective, l cannot but think that it

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
American Flag Which IL to Float
Over MORO Castle, Havana.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The Stars and
Stripes in the shape of the largest flag
in the world will float over MORO Cas-
tie, Havana when Blanco Surrendars.
The immense flag designed for this duty
is already prepared, and may be seen
draped at the front of an empty store
room at 14I Fulton street.
A patriotic Wall-stfeet man has i;ad
the great flag made. 1t measures i2O
feet in length and forty three and ore
third feet in width, and it is believed
that it breaks the record for size. 1t
is so big that special bunting was made
for it in Boston. The bunting meas
ures over two inches across in the
rough. Made up in the flag, allowing
for seams, each stripe measures forty
inches. 1t took a full piece of forty
yards for each stripe, except where
they run into the jack.
The jack measures forty feet in
length, and covers the space of seven
stripes. The stars are not very large.
From point to point each star measures
fourteen inches. They are arranged
in alternating rows of seven and eight,
according to army regulations. The
flag will cost $500. Big as it is, it can
be packed in a large travelling trunk,
and will not weigh more than 200 or
go pounds.

WHAT A LITTLE WILL DO.
A Few Words About the Great Effects
of Little Things.

a little care will save you much annoy
ance.
A little neglect of soms<slmple duty
may lead TO disaster which would i'm
pair your life.
A little kindness to fellow creature
may cause you little effort and may re-
suit in untold good.
A little attention to the right thing at
the right time may result in great things
to you at the proper time.
n little chill may seem trifiing. but It
may be the first symptom of pneumonia
possibly of death.
A little prompt attention when you first
feel chilly, is by all means the thing you
should do, and do at once.
a little pure medicinal sthnulant taken
promptly will drive the chill, restore the
circulation and warm the blood.
A little reflection will show you that
only pure, medicinal stimulant will an
swer and that there is but one, which is
Duny's Pure Malt Whisky.
A little flrmness when the druggist or
grocer tries TO sell you some so-caled
Whiskey which has no merit, will save
you much anr oyance and perhaps pre-
serve your health.
A little constant use Of this pure medi-
cinal stimulant will tend to help your
health and keep you in condition to resist
the sudden changes of the season and all
the inroads of diseases which often prove
so serious.
