Out on the water in the moonlight. A
more beautiful or romantic situation for
Young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannoe be imagined.
The courtship of young couple may be
ever so romantic and their married life be
yery unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside of love that have
world to do with the making of married
happiness One of the most important OF
these considerations is the good health OF
both parties to the sacred tie. The young
man who is in the incipient stages of con-
sumption commits a crime If he marr1es
before he is restored to health He con-
demns his wife to the life of nurse and
his children to early death, or lives OF SICK

that Barre people would never go back
on their own beautiful gilt-edged
granite that was known and admired
the world over, and bewailed the fact
that the only rushing city in eastern
Vermont" had been made to advertise
that alleged fre-proof marble" that
was not known outside of very small
circle. He called mill stone hill
Barrels own precious Klondike and
spoke with supreme contempt of that
''ancient settlement up the branch.

article, took a copious pinch of snuff
and cold
"Waal Sairey Ann, unless Berre uses
some of her rush in making sanitary
improvements she will need all the
gilt-edged granite she's got for toni
stones, so she'd better use Washington
marble for her Opera House. y

AMERICAN METHODS.

While it may be more UT less a question of wisdom or non-wisdom for nation to prosecute war on the same plan of procedure obtaining during peace, one thing is certain, and it is that the civilized world stands in an attitude of admiration towards us in consequence of the almost entire absence Of secrecy attending our every present movement.
 Slow to enter the quarrel, it is true. But being forced into it no little ac- tions savoring of treachery or unfair advantage is to be noted. Having many unfortunate experiences with the treachery of Spain, wonder would not. nor could it be displayed if our line of conduct took measure for measure.
 Relations between the two nations were on our part severed as would be severed the bonds of partnership in a business concern-in open court.
 As the head of civilized nation this administration is now, openly, with the eyes of the world upon it, taking every step in open court, while the only advices reaching us with refer ence to the plans of the Spaniard are to the effect that he will strike us in surprising manner; that he will punish the second on the outside, while the principal eagerly awaits him in the ring; that he will do exactly that which history teaches us it Is his nature to do-stab us in the back.
 And so we say that our present con- duct is admirable, and worthy of the plaudits it is receiving. At the same time we earnestly entreat those in charge to keep their weather eye lift ing.

Is a tiger a proper pet for child This is the question which a distressed mother is asking with pathetic insis- tence. Her son, aged twelve, has 8 book which contains these verses: ''The tiger is gentle beast so inno-
 cent and mild,
 The very incest sort of gift for any
 little child.
 And mothers of large families (who
 claim to common sense) Will find a tiger well repay the trouble
 and expense"
 Therefore the boy has become "crazy for tiger" and the mother is at her wits end. She says that such a pet would never do for one of his nervous, irritable temperament, and she doubts very much it's gentleness. Might it not, she asks, bite the cook? Would it not be a great source of expense? We should say that her doubts were on the whole justified. She had better get 8 bulldog. That would look savage enough for anything but would be ir reality as gentle as lamb.

HANDS OFF.

This Cuban affair is peculiarly the business of the United states No in reference from the other side of the world is wanted, and none will be tol- erated, so far as the United States is concerned. If any members of the fam fly of European monarchies choose to advise or coerce wilfu1 Spain against suicide, that is their domestic affair and with it we have no concern
 Undoubtedly this is we'll understood The suggestion of naval demonstra- ton" by the European powers py way of an intimation to the United States not to go too far cannot have been se- riously entertained. It would be pre- posterous on it's face and empty of all result As well might the United States and the South American republics parade their warships in the China Sea as a comment upon the doings of the European powers in that part of the world.
 Here in the western hemisphere the United States can manage it's own busi- ness without the aid of Europe, and all it asks is that the monarchies keep their hands off-as they seem to be wise enough to do.

THOSE BAD MEN AGAIN.

The Broncho Bill anu Black Jack band of robbers are again heard from. The Prospector has reliable informa- tion that the band is now at it's old rendezvous in the Chiricahua noun tains in this county. The two bands which have been separated during their flight from the officers and posses, have met at their old haunts, evidently by agreement, and are now without doubt planning another raid. There is believed to be nine men in the party each of whom know the country like book and are the most desperate border bandits that the authorities have ever had to deal with.
 Extra guards have been placed on the s. P. and precautions taken but an attempt to hold up the train is ex- pected nevertheless.
 Nine horses have been stolen by the bandits from neighboring ranches and the old horses left instead. They have also appeared at several ranches and secured grub and feed for their horses. It is not unlikely that some depreda- tions or hold-ups at the hands of this band will be chronicled before long, Tombstone Prospector.

A citizen says he has been arguing to some weak-kneed and luke-warm patriots that this country could sue cessful1y resist an attempted blockade of our coasts by Spain. Spain is not strong enough from a naval standpoint even to attempt a blockade-our naval resources are greater than hers. This citizen is eminently correct, too, when fort for ten years if some nation should blockade our ports. No power nor combination of powers would be strong enough to reduce us to suffering.

sYMPATHIEs OF CIVILIZATION.

Public opinion in America has ap- parently given up hope of peace. The crucial point of the dispute can be put in sentence: America insists upon the virtual, if not, indeed, the actual independence Of Cuba. Spain, is will ing to yield anything except this. The responsibility resting upon each party is terrible. To the United States a vista is opened of difficulties so novel and so far-reaching as to be beyond the range of reasonable forecast Her constitution affords no method of deal ing with protectorate of a large half barbaric island, inhabited by an alien race. Annexation, with self govern ment for Cuba, would involve neces- sities of reconstruction from which the entire nation shrinks. An independ- ent Cuba might be the scene of inter- necine strife, which America could neither tolerate nor extinguish. Against these varied difficulties no material gain of anything like equal weight is to be found. For Spain, on the other hand, the loss of Cuba means in all probability revolution. and in all certainty profound national hu- initiation. Finally, war itself, between whatever adversaries and for what ever cause, is fraught with appalling certainties and appalling uncertainties
 For every reason, therefore, one must devoutly wish that even at this elev- enth hour peace might yet be pre- served. Still, come peace or come war, there can be no doubt that of the two parties to the dispute the United States deserves the sympathies of civil lized mankind. Their action may be Quixotic, but it is not selfish, and it is courageous and is actuated by motives of humanity.-London Chronicle.
