In an interview at Washington, Mon

opinion on the Presidency, as follows:
'Mr. Mckinley has made a good
President, and 1 am very anxious to
see him get a second term. He is a
warm friend of mine, and 1 do not want
to hear of any one attempting to de-

STARTLING REPORT OF WEBB HAYES

If the Men Had Not
EeeR GreennOrnS.

Manila, Nov. 29.-When the Mana
uenza anchored in Manila bay, 33
days from san Francisco, there were
several feet OF water in her hold and
40e grimy, hungry, exhausted sailors
and soldiers, VINO had been passing
buckets OF water since Nov. II, night
and DAY. First Assistant Engineer
Dunleavy was under arrest, and, ac-
cording to Colonel Webb Hayes re-
port, the chief engineer would also
have been under arrest if there had
been any one to replace him. The col
onePs report also declares the captain
of the vessel told him the only thing
which brought them through was that
the men were greenhorns and failed to
| realize the danger, while experienced
men would have deserted the sup and
taken to the boats in mid-ocean.
Don't Understand 1t.
San Francisco, Nov. 23.-Transport
officials at this port are at a loss to
explain the alleged unseaworthy con-
dition OF the transport Manauenz,
whose arrival at Manila was reported
1t was stated that the Manauenz was
in first class condition when she left
this port on Oct. 26. Her engines had
been. thoroughly overhauled. She was
thoroughly provisioned in the cabin,
enough supplies being taken for six
months trip. Her hold was full of
supplies for the soldiers, and the Of
ficials are at loss to explain the al
legged shortnesS of tue food supplies
That she was undermanned is abso-
lutely denied. It is even argueu nere
that the fact that the Manauenz lived
| through the typhoon is enough to con-
| tradict the story of her unsoundness.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

l am In no sense a candidate for Pres
ident. The American people have, toe
good judgment, think, to think of any
such thing seriously. These so-called
battle heroes make very poor Presi-
dents, in my estimation. Look at poor
old Taylor, for example. Do you think
the Office did him any good? Then
there was Grant. To be quite frank
about it, think he made poor Presi,
dent. In my opinion, the President
of the United States ought to be a
statesman, trained for the duties of his
Office. Old army and navy officers
should stay where they belong"
Drifting from politics to the Philip
pine situation, Admiral Dewey made
the somewhat surprising statement
that he hoped Aguinaldo would not be
caught, for then this Government would
be relieved of perlexing problem.
81 hope he will make his escape fro I
the country, thus ridding us of him
self" said the Ammiral ''Of course i
we capture him, we shall be too hu
name as victors to punish him severely
and the chances are that he will be al
lowed to live somewhere in secluded
peace.
FATE OF JEFF DAVIS.

BE SURE TO WALK GRACEFULLY

Ole Of the most important points in
the culture of physical beauty is the
attainment of a graceful carriage.
Children cannot bsgin too young to
learn how to balance their bodies aud
pose their heads gracefully. All kinds
Of bad habits may be guarded against
if department is taught early, but it is
no easy matter to overcome a slovenly
gait when a child is grown up. The
most beautiful woman loses more than
half her charm if she strides rather
than walks, swings her arms from side
to side, or sWkwardIy moves her
shoulders and hips when walking.
Grace of expression is as important as
grace of movement, and with some
people these little charms seem to be
natural poesessions.-Ex.

BOYS.

OF all existing varieties of insect or
animals, the human boy is the most
potent )urca Of worry to ordinary
men. Women seem to find the boy
much more toIerable than the men find
him, but the reason doubtless is that
the boy con tains the promise and po
tency Of man, and women have a
hopeful way OF looking forward rather
than backward. A boy will make more
Objectionable noises in the course OF
a day than could be made by two boiler
factories, seven handoggans and street
singer. He can take the simplest and
apparently the most harmless or cS
and extract from it a miraculous vol
ume of noise. We all know what the
boy can do with an empty tin and a
string. Nobody but boy would ever
have dreamed that string could elicit
from q disused tin walls that would
strike terror to the average iend. Up
to the age of fourteen a boy Can whls
tie VITA an ear piercing ehrillness that
rivals the best eff0rt OF the locomotive
J Ehissle. No man and no boy OF more
.han 20 1rteen years of age can whistle
ia this way. The moment he ceases to
be boy, and begins to put on human
ity he loses the ability to VII .le in
other but comm lnplace way. This
ia, however, only one of the many il
Iustr atoms of the fact that there is a
peculiar and fendish skill in noise pro
duciug which belongs ex x3lusively to the
small boy.
No boy ever had the slightest love for
music, but every boy revels in any sort
of instrument that will make a noise.
Give him q tin trumpet and he will
stand and blow single notes on it for
hours at a time. The drum is, per
haps, his favorite instEume ant, but he can
do great things with a mere mouth
organ, and can devaste an entire street
with a pair Of bones.
If you are driving with family OF

convenience you. But in a similar
situation a boy will apparently de-
velop as many legs as heathen idol
has arms, and will proceed to kick you
simultaneously and constantly with all
his legs. In point of fact it may be
boldly said there is no situation in
which a boy is toler able. Lite is filled
