people who have peculiar fancies about
appropriating property not their own. The
action commences in the residence of a re
tired army officer who has married an at
tractive wife. She is surrounded by all
that wealth and luxury can procure, vet
she covets the possessions of her neigh
bors but so innocently are her eccentrici-
ties manifested that only laughter Is pro
duced whenever they are shown. There is
also a young daughter in the house who
has set her mind on marrying a handsome
young officer but the mother desires to
effect an alliance with a German profess

causes an Investigation to be made which
not only entangles the poor Teuton in a

comes convinced that he is either insane

inquiry as to who has seen Smith begins
quietly but finally becomes so pronounced

is no intention. however, of making a sud

ventoin for the purpose Of arranging at
once general scheme of government for
the island.
The movement will probably begin in

is now being taken as a preliminary step
to giving the islanders government
Side by side with this process OF estab-
fishing municipal self-goverument an eN-
pertinent in public schools Will be made.
Gen. Wood has a plan OF his own for the
beginning of free school system, which
he is soon TO put into operation in Sautt-
ago. After the local governments have
been established and sufficiently tried,
there will be an enlargement or extension
of the political functions Of The Cubans
Perhaps they viii be charged with the
task of establishing governments for the
provinces, and at last for the island. Per
haps tine experiments in municipal admin
istration will justify the government in
turning over the whole island 10 its people
without the preliminary intervention Of
provincial rule.
Al any rate the idea is that the new gov
eminent shall develop from the bottom to
,he top, and shall not be turned out ready
made by a constitutional convention. Il
is the confident belief of the administra-
ton that Congress is solely responsible
for the government of all our new posses
sions. that they come within the purview
Of the constitutional provision which gives
to Congress alone the right to make all
rules and regulations for the government
of the terri tories of the United States, so
that we are likely to have a renewal of
the discussion as to whether Congress in
doing so is bound by all the limitations
of the constitution.
AS to other conclusions this is sum
mary:
Gen. Davis will pass on the sort of gov
eminent Furto Rico is to have.
The President thinks the present tariff
marks high water duties Any changes
will be In the other direction Internal
revenue taxes are here to stay.
No financial legislation that will change
or reform our banking system.

The value of pemmlcan as a food ration
is not by any means confined to excur-
sions where means of transportation are
limited Its value has been demonstrated
many times on the frontier where fresh
meat was abundant and easily obtained
My attention was first called to it in
1868, while encamped with some Red river
people north of Mouse river, in the Brit
ish Northwest. These people were In the
habit of going out to the buffalo range
every spring from the Fort Garry set
dement's and putting up tons of pemmi-
can for the winter trade, and to supply
the northern trading posts. The mode
of making 1t was as follows: Buffalo
meat was sliced with a knife in huge
slabs about one inch or less in thickness
and suspended over frames for drying in
the sun. small fire was built underneath
to keep off flies until a thin glaze was
formed on the outside of the dried flesh
which effectually protected it from at
tacks of flies When thoroughly dried the
meat would have shTunk to less than one
third of its former thickness. Then 1t
was roasted slightly to make 1t brittle,
when it was pounded with fails and re-
duced to fine particles. The whole was
poured into rawhide sacks and incorporat-
ed with melted marrow fat
When cooled the sacks were stored away
in dry place and would keep for years
This was the crude process used for the
trade there being several grades of this
pemmican.
The value of well made pemmican lies
in the fact that it contains the maximum
of nutrition with the minimum of weight
and space, added to its keeping qualities.
It is always palatable whether eaten in
the raw state or cooked.
While In the interior of Alaska with
Capt. Glenns exploring expedition in July,
1898, I had occasion to dry a quantity of
mountain sheep meat to keep II from
spelling When it was perfectly dry l
roasted It slightly on some Goals at the
campfire and afterward pounded it in a
canvas sack. In this state 1t was delicious.
1t served many a time for refreshment on
the trail. even when fresh meat was OBJ
tainable Once a handful of 1t mixed
with boiled rice served as a treat for
twelve hungry men.
It's excellence as a food ration for SOL
diers on the march cannot be disputed.
Soldiers in camp can take perishable
meat and by drying and pounding It in
the method described have most accept
able sustenance in small bulk, lasting
many days.
1 have never known it to cause bowel
disorders or other complaints, such as
are somtimes induced by sudden change
to a fresh meat diet.
As an economical food ration. I regard
nen,mican a $ of great value. An authority
states that it was introduced into the
British navy victualling yards, In order tc
