Our Destiny Upon Us.

The Rev. Algernon S. Crapsey. D.
D., of st. Andrews church in Roches-
ter the other morning delivered SER
mon on the Imperial Power of Ameri-
ca:' "We today are in the presence of
a new display Of imperial power. We
belong also to the imperial peoples.
Suddenly, without generalization, we
have been compelled to manifest in the
face Of the world a force which from
this time on will be controlling force
in the affairs of the world. It is not for
US to say whether we will or will not
take up the imperium. That has been
settled for us by divine Providence. We
are and must be a commanding nation.
We have and must hold a commanding
position among the nations of the
world, and must effect for good or for
evil the destinies of the world. It is
impossible for us to insulate ourselves,
living in and for ourselves only. A ma
ton that exports 81, 600, 600, 900 a year
from it's various ports is nation that
must make itself felt in the world and
of which the world must take notice. I"

NOT JEALOUS OF HOBSON.

The Merrimac's Former Commander
Praises His Deed In Sailor Fashion.
In personal letter to Major D. W.
Diggs, written on the United States
steamship Pompey on the Ai;, - -
Cardenas, Cuba, under t., ia
Z, Captain James NJ. FL :,
commander of the Merrimac, writes t.;
follows about Lieutenant Hobson and
the Merrimac affair:
MY DEAR FR1END-You have read Admiral
Simpsons report of the Merrimac's officers
and can we'll SEQ that had to obey. Ny God,
it was bitter disappointment to me not to be
allowed to take my own ship in!
You have also seen in the New York Herald
what think of Hobson. To my mind, he is
one of the grandest heroes of the world and a
cooler or Drawer man never saw. He and we
all felt that he and his associates were going
to certain death, but he-why, you would have
thought he was going to picnic! How sim
gle man escaped with his life is miracle.
Captain Miller protest against being
deprived Of the command Of his vessel
at that critical time was natural, and
his appreciation Of the man who sue
ceeded him is manly.

"HAT3COFF" IN PORTO RICO.
That Il tb = Fashion When the Band Plays
q. ",itar Spangled Banner"

:
The reception of the American army
in Porto Rico continues in an ooh, lie
joyt1..'' way. From Guayama. a town
where the Spanish were said to be gath
ering and intrenching, the people sent
word to Ponce that all the Spaniards
had gone and the populace were wait
ing to receive the Americans. One com
pany Of troops was sent there and had
big reception. The American flag had
already been hoisted and everybody
gathered around it. When the soldiers
came, the people sang the 'Star Span
gled Banner in q mixture of Spanish
and English
At Ponce every tire the band plays
the "Star Spargled Eanner' the police
run about and make everybody remove
his hat. From ten miles in the interior
it was reported that a large Spanish
force had gathered. General Ernst sent
two companies of soldiers to see. They
met party of Spanish soldiers on the
outskirts of the town loaded down with
guns and swords. When the Spaniards
caught sight of our men, they yelled,
"Don't shoot!" and ran toward the
Americans They said they were COM
ing in to surrender and give up their
arms. The party was small, but they
had arms enough for regiment. Our
soldiers sent them on to Ponce with in
structions to report to General Wilson
aud give up their arms. They obeyed
and signed a parole.-Special Gable to

Give the Children a Drink

called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, appe-
thing, nourishing food drink to take the
place OF coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee butts free from all it's in
furious properties. Grain-O aids diges-~

not stimulant but a health builder
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs about

Farmers Break the Buggy Mo-
nopoly.


tits claimed that for years buggy
manufacturers have secured exhorbitant
prices for their goods, but recently,
through the combined assistance OF the
farmers OF Iowa. Illinois and other
states, Sears, Roebuck & Co., ofChicago,
have got the price OF open buggies down
to $16.50; top buggies, $22.75; top sur
ries, $43.75 and upwards, and they are
shipping them in immense numbers d.
rect to farmers in every state. They
send an immense buggy catalogue free,
postpaid, to anyone who asks for it.
This certainly is big victory for the
farmer, but a severe blow to the carriage
manufacturers and dealers.

Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. 8. s. s. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
