Causing a "Reminiscences.
(From the Chicago Jornal.)


John C. Leonard. of Beardstown. set
two trimming pals of milk on the table,
and when his mother came up, lifted
them for her and strained the warm
white torrent in shallow pans and car
ried them into the pantry.
John always is so thoughtful she ex-
claimed, fondly. Most boys think II $
enough for them TO do the milkin'. But
he stays to tend to everything for me.
When Mrs. Leonard returned to the liv-
ing room John and his father were deep
in a war of words.
II think | ought TO be allowed TO get
married If I want to. don't you, MOTHER
the son cried. And the poor little wo-
man, quite taken aback, said tremuously,
and with little CULVER at her heart:
why, yes: yes, dear-if you want to!
Had you-any one-in mind?"
NO" he replied, with masculine logic.
''but l don't want any fuss if L should
see some one and take notion-sudden
like" He strobe away, and the old folks
lookedSat each other in startled silence.
Then the father growled:
Young duncei Don't know anything.
Married. Humph!'
Don't be hard on him. pa. Was you a
Ounce when-when-thirty years ago
She did not finish the sentence. but the
farmers rough hand closed over one
scarcely less hard and toll worn, and
when he spoke again his voice was quite
soft and gentle.
II guess" he said, its best to let
Young folks have their own way.
Yesterday John went to Peoria, III.
and scarce had he alighted from the
train when he saw Norah Hennessey
standing like a wholesome pink holly
hook of the gate of her father s garden.
They smiled into each others eyes ana
soon the country boy found eloquent
sneech. In an hour they were walking
arm in arm away from the marriage IL
cense window. In another they were
welded fast and sure. and they were
buying furniture for their own pretty
home; and by this time John has taken
his pretty wife to receive the blessings
of his father and mother.

SOCIETY.
Maids and MatrOns VIII Nurse
Wounded Patriots.

Within the past few days. while the
war fever has been rising higher and
higher every hour there has been a per-
ceptible determination on the part Of So
ciety matrons and maids to volunteer
their services as nurses in the event Of
war. Should it happen. as is rumored
will be the case. that the two magnif-
cent hotels at Fort Monroe VIII. in the
event Of war. be seized as hospitals. the
ardor of these volunteer nurses will be
increased. Nothing will then keep them
in Washington.
The wife Of an ex-Cuban officer. now
in Washington. has declared her inten-
ton of becoming an army nurse. The
two daughters OF Capt. Robley D. Evans
have signified their intention Of volunteer
ing as nurses.
Representative Wheeler. Of Alabama,
who almost at the first rumor of war,
went TO the President and volunteered
his services in case OF war. sees his mar
tial and patriotic spirit show forth again
i'm his three pretty daughters. each of
whom asserts that she will only too
gladly go as nurses to the wounded SOL
diers and sailors.
In the case of Commander Rnbley n.
Evans history has within the past week
repeated itself. II will be remembered
that a few days since the young son of
Commander Evans was among the class
graduated ahead of time at the Anna
polls Academy, and Immediately assign
ed to duty on the hattleship Massa-
chusetts Commander Evans was dur
ing the late war, graduated ahead of
time and once sent into active service.

Are" or "Is.-
FrOm the St. Paul Di.patehl

from TIE Il. Fdul DiSpdtCh-l
The question whether the United
States are" or lis" in the condition
ascribed to it-or "them''-by a local
paper. is provoking quite general dis
cussion in the press. and IL is singu-
lar that such a simple matter should
provoke so wide discussion and develop
so many opinions. The debate started
with a testing remark of the Dispatch
commenting upon the grave statement
of a contemporary that the Uni ed
States are in condition" The state
ment made in such language appeared
so grotesque and so lacking in euphony.
SO harsh and disagreeable in its con-
structiOn, tina, the Dispatch replied
that in such times IS the present The
United States is" This provOkes the
original offender to come back with a
series Of authorities and precedents
covering half OF a century Of Presi-
dent messages. and showing the use
of the plural in connection with the
use of the word United States.
When say what the United States
will do in the case Of war. for instance.
we have reference to what it will do as
government. and we naturally speak
of it as one. Great Britain consists OF
more states than does the United States.
but we would not say Great Britain
ARE" The government is merely Plu-
raj in the form of its name. As a gov
eminent il is many in one, and the one
is what we speak of when We refer TO
any function OF government.
Not only "in times like these" but in
all times, it is proper TO speak OF the
government in the singular number. The
plural form of the name does not make
the government plural any more than
molasses and politics are made plural by
the form Of their names.

No Cause for Complaint.
Trom the Chicago Record.)


A man with q worn and travel-stained
grip walked out of the Illinois Central
station few days ago, and. hailing a
street car started uptown. When the con-
ductor came around the new arrival, who
was busy with newspaper, handed him
a niece of money without looking up from
his reading. The cable car citizen looked
at him suspiciously for moment and
then said:
I'm kind of tired of this. Everybody
tries 10 work off his Canadian money on
the street cars. That dime is all right In
Canada. / suppose, but it don't go for
value here I'll just call it q nickel and
le; il 20 at that and the next time you
feel Hike handing out that kind of bum
money you'll know YOU do it at loss"
What's that?' said the mystified
stranger.
',oh. never mind. I've rung it up. 1t
goes But no change. understand. Your
dime goes for a nickel and / don't hand il
back, either. I'm sick of that kind OF
thing.
A light came over the face of the pas
senEcr.
.Oh. ] see he said. "A nickel Five
cents for that lo-cent piece. All right"
And he resumed his paper The conductor
went away in triumph.
But the man who was sitting next the
traveller was not willing TO let the thing
go SO easily.
There's my card. sir he said. IF you
want to 20 after that conductor at head
quarters ] shall cheerfully support your
COMPLAINT. / never knew such impertl-
hence
THANK you" the other answered. 'Bui
the fact is don't care 10 follow ii up
It's all right"
HE discounted your money 80 per cent.
and did IL without authority from you.
and moreover he
Yes, yes. But you see he was mis-
taken That dime was not a Canadian
coin. 1t is a l0-cent piece of Honduras
and IL is worth just 40 per cent. of its
face value although it's of just the same
size as our dimes. As a matter of fact
that conductor gave me a scent ride for
a s-cent dime. ! think I shall go into the
business of importing Central American
dimes for use on street cars. IL that is the
ratio at which they win go here. A IS
per cent. profit is good enough for any
body in these hard Times.

New York. April s-Godfrey Muhlman,
twenty-six years old. of Richmond Hill,
L. J., was dupec cit of 1900 by band
OF swindlers' yesterday.
Muhlman was on his way to Dallas.
Texas. on a prospecting tour. when he
fell in wi h the swiudlers. This was in
Jersey City. at 10 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. There were three of them. all jolly
good fellows, apparently, and they
promptly invited :;uhlman to take a
drink. He accepted the invitation. They
were so cordial and good-natured that
Muhlman coon felt as though he were in
the company of old friends. He told
them where he was going, and how much
money he had with him.
The swindlers said they were bent on
the same mission. A proposition was
made and accepted that the quartet put
all their money together.
Muhlman was the first to 'tchip in"
He handed over ten 500 bills. which were
placed in a handkerchief huffman was
selected treasurer, and a handkerchief.
having all the appearance OF the one in
which he and the swindlers had placed
their money. was given to him.
Suspecting nothing, huffman pocketed
the bulging handkerchief. Then il oc-
CURED TO the swindlers that they had
failed TO check their baggage. Muhlman
advised their doing so Immediately, prom
Using to await their return. The two
fairly fell over one another i'm their hurry
TO leave the place.
Left alone. huffman drew out the
handkerchief. The discovery that for
his Sl,Oo0 he had nothing but bunch of
green paper almost drove him frantic.
He started in pursuit of the swindlers.
but up to last accounts had not succeeded
in coming I'D with them.
