The American Flag on Steamships

1t seems to be the great impression
that all the vessels of the American
Steamship Line, sailing from Phila-
delphia and New York, fly the Amer
ican flag. SThe fact is that the laws
of this land only permit the Ameri-
can flag to cover very small portion
of the fleet of the American Steamship
Line.
The only steamers in its service
flying the American flag are the New
YorE, Paris, St, Louis and st, Paul,
running between New York and
Southampton.
All the other steamers employed in
their Liverpool trade from Philadel.
phia and the New York were built
abroad and sail under the flag of Bel
GUM. Protection to these vessels IL
guaranteed by the great signatory
powers of Europe and their vessels are
less likely to be embroiled in difficulty
than any other European countries.

Rev. Thos. Dixon, of New York,
discussing the war crisis in a sermon
at Wellington, Kan the other day,
said: "The sweeping of the last YES

us for the blowing up Of the Maine

wearing the uniform of the United
States. The nation that would ig-

The Gold Fields Of Alaska.

In order to accommodate the heavy
travel to the new Eldorado, which it is
expected will set in early and con-
tinue during the coming season, the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company
will inaugurate weekly tourist sleep
ing car service between St. Louis,
Portland and Seattle, first car west
bound to leave st. Louis Tuesday eve
ming, February %, and continue
weekly thereafter, making no change
between st. Louis and the Pacific
Coast. No other route can offer such
splendid through accommodations,
matchless scenery and interesting
points on the way. This is the most
desirable route to Portland and Sc

given to parties en- route to Alaska.

With Regard to Old Maids.

Some one writes to know at what
age girl is to be considered "an old
maiGE" The only possible reply is
scNever." To describe any woman, of
whatever age, as an "old maid" is
both inaccurate and discourteous.
Many women, freed from the cares
and troubles of married life, are de.
lightfully young and fresh at forty, or
evep fifty. Indeed, truly charming
woman does not depend at all upon
her age for her charm. The mere
prettiness of youth is a foolish and
evanescent thing IN comparison. Let
us have done witb/talking about "old
maids"

also welcome Fitzhugh Lee with

A Demand For Action.

patriotic speech. In referring to the
destruction of the Maine he said: mo

affront as that in silence. This is not

but only a maudlin sentimentality to
talk in the presence of such circum-
stances and facts about the horrors of
war,
"War is horrible, always to be de-
plored, and ever to be avoided if it
can be avoided consistently with dig

Of the nation. But, Mr.. President,

evils may result, but no matter what
the cost, in the presence Of this great
commanding duty, we must go for

macy has passed. The time for action
has come. Let the doubling, the hes

while the virile, strong minded, pa
triotic, liberty loving masses of the
American people, coming from all
sections and all pursuits and all avo-
cations of lite, rally as one man around

independence and worthy of the fol-
lowers OF those heroic men who have
since preserved and perpetuated our
priceless heritage" Applause from
the galleries.
Mr.. Foraker, in concluding his
statement as to the Government of
Cuba, said:
"Some day, when they shall be
made public, when Cuba has been
made free, you will find that in the
archives OF our country, in the office
of our own Secretary of State, are the
official communications of the officials
of the Republic of Cuba, and they are
as creditable as any that have come
from any country on the globe-com-
munications of marked ability"

1t must be an indefinitely sad thing
for an old man to see the gray hairs
coming on his head, the wrinkles
gathering on his brow, to feel the
trembling and hesitation OF age in his
step, to know that the end of his
earthly career cannot be far of, and
yet to feel that the lines of the poet
are true of him: .... ...
pm farther or from heaven
Than when was boy"
How different it is to the sincere
christian, who feels as age comes on
that every step is bringing him nearer
to heaven, and is bringing into his
heart and life ever more and more Of
the spiritual atmosphere of the heav'

PERILS OF THE UNION STATION

Shelbyville. A stranger took seat at his
side, and in a moment the casual CONVEX

them. Collins said he was going to Kokomo
and the stranger said he was bound for the
same city They became quite friendly and
the stranger suggested that Collins walk
to his hotel with him to get his valise.
They might then return TO the station and
take the train together Collins agreed and
they started north on Illinois street. They
turned on Maryland street and walked west
until they reached the old hay market.
Here a big man stepped up to them and Or

money on you. Let's see your money" he
demanded of Collins's new-found friend.
The man produced some paper money and

you you go to the police station" This last
was to Collins's friend.
Collins saw that he had been caught with
