friends II this warning Is kept in mind
The real danger OF the situation is that
its sentimental aspect may he 80
strongly insisted upon that when diff
fcrences on material points arise there
may be an inevitable reaction" And
this is true. The reason for amity In
the International relations OF the two
countries are numerous and indisput-
able; the reasons why between indi-
vidual Englishmen and Americans of
intelligence and good behavior an in
stinctive feeling of Cordality should eX-
list are equally abundant. The preserva-
tion of this moral alliance is essential
to mutual progress and to the develop
ment of the best results in the worlds
civilization.
Yet. at the same time, as our London
contemporary points out, England and
America within certain limits must al
ways be competitors. each in honor
bound TO nut selfish interests first.
England, for instance, has a large trade
already established In South America.
She got it by going for it Arst while
We were attending to internal affairs.
As Mr.. Choate is represented to have
said, our garden is now made and we
are free to look around for outside OPP
portunities. among which none are
more likely to command our early ac-
tivity than the opportunity which
awaits US III the commerce of the South
American republics. No one who has
studied The situation can doubt that
when the Americans really 20 for this
commerce they will get a liberal part Of

tate tho construction Of an iutercontin-
enal railroad. not to speak of the dig

eventually the coveted markets will be-
! come ours, for the reason that they
| lie naturally within our sphere of in
fuence'; for the reason that the trend
| of political developments is toward a
closer unification Of the peoples and
| interests of the western hemisphere:
! and for the reason, above all, that our

expect to run counter to the British.

and the rivalry will he warmly pressed

fair or churiish rivalry; it should

A Trip About Winneshiek,

Tuesday and Wednesday the editor
visited farmers in the vicinity of Ken
dallville and east of the Iowa, south
as far as John f. Murtha's. On the
elevated land we found the crops of all
kinds heavy and the corn well advanc.
ed. On the James Lestsr farm, ele-
waited probably 300 feet above the val
ley of the Iowa, his corn and grain
of all kinds shows good cultivation and
are immense growth. The county has
been having some excellent work done
in changing the highway leading
through the ravine to summit to the
margin ofthe ravine placing it above
the destructive floods that come with
all heavy rainfalls.
John G. Tood is one of the well-to-
do farmers of the county living near a
familiar looking school building at
which twice in one afternoon we
sought information from the teacher
in 1859 as to the route to Elijah
Clark's, a place near Kendallville
which we failed to find though appar-
emily intelligently directed next
morning finding ourself at midday or
the Hugh Larkin farm in Howard
county. The perplexity of timber
roads in those days, terminating in
some wood lot were almost intermin.
able and their direction in dull,
cloudy day past finding out.
ST. Agnes Catholic church was or
our route Wednesday. 1t is located
upon prominent elevation overlook
ing vast range of ofv,2autiful ant
4 grand scenery, and in til ssmidst of /
Fnighly prosperous and happy people.
In our route we passed over the
Cold Water, stream that flows from
a single spring but a few rods above
the crossing, sending forth probably
100 gallons of water every minute.
From there on the way to Mr.
Murtha's, we drove to the old
homestead of Leven Wanless nov
occupied and owned by his son, A. b
Wanless. 1t, too, called to memory +;
visit there in the early 60's in a vail
hunt to find Plymouth Rock where
we were engaged as counsel in Il Law
suit set for trial about two hour
before our arrival at the Wanles
home. While the scenery about TIL,
the farm house has changed, TIN
bluffs along the river present to us al
unchanged face, but not as bleak as OF
that frigid December day.
John f, Murtha has the materia
on hand for large barn, most o
which will be sawed on the groun,
from logs cut on his farm. He ha
: built a comfortable farm house whicl
he has occupied nearly two years, an
when his barn with its basemen
stable is furnished he will be amon
the best fixed of the farmers in tina
section. With them we found genel

He Was Too Familiar.

W. G. Wills, the dramatist and
painter, once attracted SO much atten-
tion by his Notwithstanding to story
in the published memoirs-that he was
requested by the secretary to attend at
Osborne to do portraits of her majesty g
grandchildren. Mr.. Wills was a thor
ough Bohemian, and the invitation
filled him with dismay. In ignorance
of the etiquette which construes royal
invitation in command he thought to
get out of it by writing a polite note,
stating that prior engagement would
prevent his attending. The next day a
telegram came from Osborne to the fol-
lowing effect: 1.-THE queen commands
Mr. Wills to attend at Osborne imme-
diately."
The artist was far too loyal subject
to dispute her majesty's direct COM
mands. So he ruefully packed up his
belongings and started for the royal
palace. AS might well be supposed, his
life at Osborne was uncongenial. When
he was doing portrait of royal baby
on all fours and good humoredly said,
''Look up, little one!' the lady in
waiting reproved his familiarity and
told him he must address the infant as
princess or your royal highness
The pastel portraits which he made
still hang at Osborne, and as royal pat
ronage gave a great stimulus to sitters
his reputation was made.

JOHN WAS READY.

In these days of proposed interna-
tional alliances it is interesting to read
of the difficulty in which a Chicago
newsboy found himself involved, and
how he extricated himself therefrom.
He had wandered over into one of the
foreign quarters, on the west side,
where one can hear almost every
language except our vernacular, and
he was set upon by two or three boys.
He defended himself bravely and was
holding his own fairly well, until the
two or three were joined by as many
more, and then the battle began to 60
against him. "Say." he yelled to
group of boys watching the fight from
the sidewalk, sis there an English boy
in the crowd?" eyes," shouted a
stockily built urchin of about his own
size. 'Come yere, them" painted the
young American, laying about him
with all his might, San we'll clean out
the hull gang!' And they did.
