SHE THoUGHTlT STRANGE,


Naggley Went Out For His Little Walk
anyway.
Naggley threw down the evening pa
per he had been reading, yawned and
stretched and said he guessed he'd 60
out for little while, whereupon Mrs.
Naggley said:
"Where are You going?"
''Oh, no place in particular.
"No, / s'pose not. It's anything or
any place to get away from home with
you. It's mighty strange that you can t
content yourself for any length of time
in your own home-mighty strange I
was reading this from Goethe today,
He is happiest, be he king or peasant,
who finds peace in his home. l said to
myself when / read it, Il wish to the
Lord Joe Naggley felt more like that
= "Mrs. Goethe must have been a hap
py woman to have husband who could
say that I'll bet dime she did not
have to sit alone evening after evening
while Mr.. Goethe ripped and paced
around anywhere and everywhere, just
so he needn't have to be at home with
the wife he'd promised to love and hon
or and cherish, and who had done all
she could to make home pleasant for
him, and III bet Mr. Goethe didn't be-
long to three or four lodges and clubs
that ought to be wiped out of existence,
SO the members of them would stay at
home with their wives, where they be-
long.
"It's mighty strange that man can
talk so sweet and nice about a home of
his own when he's trying to delUde
some girl into marrying him, and then
when he gets her and home he wants
to be on the gad all the time. l say it s
mighty strange.
"How many times before we were
married did you make me sing Home,
Sweet Home, for you, and now if try
to sing it you look as it you'd taken a
dose of ipecac. And look at that motto,
There's no place like home, that you
made me work before we were married

home. 1t doesn appeal to you any more
than it appeals to that lamppost out
there across the street. I'd like to know
why. ....
"The land knows do all can to

and I'll put my cooking against that of

put it against Mrs. Goethe's even.

her good deal more than you appreci-
ate me, and I'll bet her home WASH t a
bit cleaner than mine, nor her What's
that? What did you say about her
tongue? pity the poor woman if she
didn't have tongue.
"There never was a married woman
yet who didn't need all the tongue the
Lord gave her, and don't know what
I'd do if it WASH t for my tongue, and
Oh, yes; rush off as usual right when

how much you respect her. It's mighty
strange how soon men change after they
are married-mighty strangel'-St.

Stylish Evening Bodice.

The simplest and perhaps the most
fashionable bodice for evening wear,
says New York fashion authority, is
the full blouse shape of chiffon, droop-
ing over fitted silk lining, the top cut
ont in square or rounding fashion, with
a full tulle ruche, a narrow band of
fur, fall of lace or beaded revers to
finish the edge. The sleeves consist of
short, full puffs similarly trimmed.
This is basis for any kind of flower
trimming that taste suggests. Rows of
shaded pink roses devoid of foliage are
in great use on evening gowns this win
ter, as are maidenhair fern and lilac
sprays, laid upon strands Of pink or or
ange satin ribbon not more than an inch
and half wide.

THE EMPEROR WoRsTED.
A Pluclky Little Hungarian Girl Got Re-
venge For Sadowa.

A Plucky Little Hungarian Girl Got Re-
venge For sadowa.
The present kaiser would probably
not admit that he had often been
thwarted in any Of his plans, but an
anecdote has recently become known
which shows that he at least once ''got
the worst Of it, = and it is all the more
piquant from the fact that he was de-
teated by girl.
When the kaiser, who was then
Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years
old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some
time at Cassel with their tutors, who
sometimes allowed the little princes to
play with other children. One day when
several of them were gathered together
it CHANGED that little French girl was
among the number, and the young Ger
mans conceived the brilliant idea Of
making her representative OF the coun-
try they all SO cordially hated. The de-
lightful plan was Immediately put into
execution, and the poor child was tied
to tree. Then began fusillade of
pine cones, sticks, etc., and whenever
anything struck her there was cry of
"Here's for Sedan!' This went on for
a few minutes, when little Hungarian
girl, Helena Won D., who was watch
ing, could bear the injustice no longer,
and, singing out Prince Wilhelm as
chief offender, she threw herself on
him. The attack being unexpected, he
was completely taken by surprise and
fell down, whereupon she began to
pound him, crying out at each blow,
'Here's for SadowaH'
The prince was fast getting the worst
of it, for his little adversary was thor
oughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and
separated the combatants. After that
the princes were more carefully watch
ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to
"get even" with the little champion of
justice Some days afterward, hearing
that the princes were leaving, Helena
went down to the gate to see them 60
by. AS they passed Wilhelm spied his
foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he
stuck out his tongue.
Helena was the daughter of titled
parents, and later she was married to
an Englishman. When the kaiser was
in London, she told this story to one of
his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn
repeated it to his majesty. The latter
exclaimed: SIS that devil of girl here
now? would like to see her, A meet
ing was arranged, but Helena became
ill, and SO they never met after that one
encounter to make friends or renew hos

A SAVAGE CRITICISM.
The Teachers. Artistic Cleverness Re

The Teachers. Artistic Cleverness Re-
ceived q Hard and Cruel Blow.
In one of the Cleveland public school
rooms of the primary grade the teacher
has been reading Longfellow's lila
watha" to her pupils. Of course this is
a rather ambitious work for the little
ones, says The Plain Dealer, but they
enjoy it, and the rhythm seems particu-
larly pleasing to them. When they come
to hard word, the teacher goes to the
blackboard and draws picture to illus
trate it's mesaing. This the pupils find
highly entertaining, and it helps in
quite remarkable way to fix the text
in their minds.
A few days ago they came to this line
in the early part of the poem:
At the door summer evenings sat the little
Hiawatha.
"At-th' door on summer evenings
sat tn lit-tle''-read the children.
$50 on,' said the teacher.
But they couldn't 60 on. The name
of Hiawatha was too much for them.
They knew who Hiawatha was, but
they didn' recognize his name. So the
teacher went to the board and took con
siderable pains in drawing:
First.-A wigwam with poles stick
ing up above it. and rude aboriginal
drawing above it, and rude aboriginal
painting on the side.
Second. Hiawatha, with feath-
ers in his hair, squatted at the wigwam
door.
Third. "A fine harvest moon.
Then she pointed at Hiawatha and
asked what it was.
There was general craning Of necks
and shaking of heads.
"Come, come" said the teacher,
''you know what that is.
Then one little girl spoke up:
ST guess it's mud turtle. :"
And instantly. with one accord, the
class glibly repeated:
cat tn door on summer evenings
sat tn little muddy IT tie.
And tho teacher feels that her artistic
cleyerness received hard and cruel
blow.

Doubtful Compliments.

The compliments paid by the poor are
often put in an amusing way. One old
woman who was very fond Of the rector
said to Mr. Bernays: lyon know, sir,
ms likes the rector; lis ears are so
clean. Surely an odd reason for pa
rochial affection. Another admirer once
declared with regard to the whole staff
of clergy, lyon are all SO plain" "a

WAR NEWS.
OUR LATEST.

The following official statement as
to the demands Of peace offered by
the United States to Spain was given
out at the state department yester-
day.
In order to remove any misappre.
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United
States and Spain, it is deemed proper
to say that the terms offered by the
United States to Spain in the note
handed to the French ambassador
on Saturday last are in substance as
follows:--
The President does not put forward
any claim for pecuniary indemnity,
but requires the REIMBURSEMENT Of
all claim OF sovereignty over or title
to the island of Cuba as well as the
immediate evacuation by Spain OF
the island, the cession to the United
States and immediate evacuation OF
Porto Rico and other islands under
Spanish sovereignty in the West
Indies; and the like cession Of an
island in the Ladrones.
The United States will occupy and
hold the city, bay and harbor of
Manila pending the conclusion of a
treaty of peace which shall determine
the control, disposition and govern
ment of the Philippines.
If these are accepted by Spain in
their entirety, it is stated that COM
missioners will be named by the
United States to meet commissioners
on the part of Spain for the purpose
of concluding a treaty of peace on
the basis above indicated.

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA
How They Were Won over In Ao'o
with Pocket Handkerchief
Promise.

In 1868, when the revolution OF zen
wears in Cuba began, no volunteers
existed in Havana worthy OF pelng
called such. There was only one ola
regiment, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, and when Gov. Gen. Ler-
sundi, then of the island, tried to com
plete this regiment he found the task
difficult of accomplishment on ac-
count of the prevailing unwillingness
to enlist. But just at this time, most
providentially for the relief OF his
dilemma. some unknown hands coy
cred the walls of Matanzas, near Ha-
vana. with huge posters promising
each Spaniard his passage home and
the privilege of carrying away with
him whatever his pocket handkerchief
could contain in the event of his en-
listment.
The effect of this stimulus to the
tagging pulse of the public was cleo
trical, and the enrolment of $4,000
men followed within 4S hours. The
volunteers thus came into existence
with their chiefs in the majority. But
the ruined merchants OF The city OF
Havana soon found out and objected
to the newly risen power. This oppo-
siton increased upon The arrival in
Cuba of the new encouragement
Dulce, who came in 1869 as representa-
tive of the revolutionary government
in Spain. He was man of good faith,
empowered by the government to
grant Cuba all the reform she coveted
and that has lately been offered He
would undoubtedly have put term to
the revolution, averting all the ruin
and devastation which followed. But
such an easy and magnanimous course
did not suit that class which faced in
evitable financial ruin as a conse-
quence of such a policy.

Merritt,s Arrival.

A despatch dated at Manila Bay, July
26, says. Gen. Merritt, commandments
chief of the American troops in the Philip
pines, arrived yesterday morning on the
transport Newport, several days ahead
Of the time expected. He was greeted
with vigorous cheers from all the ships
of Admiral Dewey's feet. The admiral
went aboard the Newport, and welcomed
Gen. Merritt, soon after the ship came to
anchor.
Gen. Merritt returned the call, and, on
leaving the Olympia, received a gun sa-
lutte that could be heard easily within the
Spanish lines at Manila. Thus the news
quickly reached the city that the Ameri-
can general had arrived.
All were well on the Newport. The
passage was smooth and agreeable.
After leaving Honolulu, July s, no stop
was made until Manila Bay was reached.
As no American warships were sent to
warn the Newport, it was arranged, II
necessary, to steam into Manila Bay
without slowing down, and to lose no
time in reaching the shelter of the fleet.
The Newport conveys Gen. Merrtt's
staff, the Astor mountain battery, Cos.
H and K OF the Sd U. S. artillery, and a
detachment of the signal corps. Every
man in the Aston battery declares he is
in excellent condition and ready to fight
at once. The news of the capture OF
Santiago and the sinking OF Cervera's
squadron encourages us to take Manila.

When we entered the church the service
had been in progress for five hours.
That immense church was packed to

one stands, no matter how long the

BY degrees we worked our way to-

chairs were given us. We found our
selves on the platform with the priest.
Just back of the choir. What heavenly
voices! What wonderful voices! The
bass holds on to the last note, and the
rumble and echo of it rolls through
those vaulted domes like the tones of
an organ. The long-haired priest, too,
had wonderfully resonant voice for
intoning. He passed directly by us in

Sir Walter Raleigh's cloak has been
a symbol of chivalry for many years,
but the little street boys cap in the
following story from the Sunday Mag
azine, deserves an equally honorable
place. The best story l know of an
Edinburgh street boy was told me by
lady who witnessed the incident There
was Christmas treat given to poor
children at mission hall, and hun
dreds of little ones were assembled at
the doors in advance of the hour of
admittance, many of them barefoot.
Among the number was a sweet-faced
little girl, who seemed less hardened
than most to the cold, for she shivered
in her poor jacket and danced from one
foot to the other on the cold, hard
stones. A boy not much older watched
this performance for few minutes,
and then, with sudden impulse of pro-
lection, took off his cap, put it down be-
fore her and said; rye maun stand
on that"
