There is a genial soul on the
Daily States who is determined to
get some fun out of the present war.
In the last issue of that paper he
gets off the following:
The States is very much relieved
to know that it will not lose the val
liable services of its faithful colored
porter, Capt. w. Hodge, Of the
s.Chickenroost Cadets" Hodge
has been in the employ of this
paper for nearly twenty years, but
his patriotism being aroused by the
Spanish American controversy he
raised a military company and deter.
mined to invade Cuba at the tap OF
the drum. Owing to disagreement,
however, between himself and the
United States regarding the pay
ment Of bounty he has abandoned
the idea of going to Cuba and dis
banded the gallant cadets. 1t will
be we'll for chickens to take due
warning aud roost IN the highest

LITTLE THINGS.

New Orleans Picayune.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the
little things of life are in reality the
big things. The mild voice OF the
mosquito is more to be feared than
the brazer roar of the lion; a SIM
pie cold in the head has killed more
people than all the wars and pestil-
ences since the beginning of the
world. It was little innocent and
guileless looking apple that brought
trouble into the world-not highly
spiced dishes with French names.
1t is the little, mild hammered, dep
recating men that lead the onslaught

DULLES are at home telling how they
would have managed the campaign
if .hey had been there. 1t is the
little, quiet, retiring woman who is
the tyrant on .he hearth stones,
who rules some man for all he is
worth, and whose husband speaks
of sour trousers" A single fly
can upset the calm equanimity of
an ascetic who thought that he had
triumphed over all the weaknesses
of the flesh. A collar button,
which is among the smallest and
meanest of created things, can
shake the frmest religious princi-
pies aud cause the righteous to
blaspheme. 1t is always the measly
and Insignificant 1ocking~chair we
fall over in the night, not the grand
piano. 1t is the one solitary tack
we tread on in the dark, not the

furious farewell to his family and

caught on a nail and tore from top
to bottom, and he, who had gone
forever, had to go back TO the

carry a naughty and contemptuous
