The Same John Bull.

Over England during the past few
weeks a great wave of patriotism has
spread. We have awakened to our
national responsibilities, and every
cheer that has gone up for Lord
Kitchener has been an expression Of
this fact. The beneficial effect OF this
sirGar "boom" has been very great.
It has strengthened the hands Of tho
government in their political dealings
of.late. It has given the nation the
tonic it required. Abose all, it has
shown to the world that the stolid

KILLED BY THEIR FRIENDS.

Spanish Shells Aimed at the Merrimas
Fell on Moro Castle.
Lieutenaat Hobson tells in The Gen.
tury why it was that the Spanish oti-
cars at Morro Ca tie believed the coll
lier Merrimac to be an armored man
of war:
It was not long before the governor
of the Moro came, making me moss
cordial visit. He was followed by the
colonel commanding the artillery.
This officer, after kind salutations,
referred to the heavy fire We had with.
stood so long and to the gallaatry OF
our fire in return. When | informed
him that we had no guns on board be-
was utterly incredulous and seemed to
conclude that T was deceiving him,
for he replied: 'tButI I know you must;

the foot, though was standing away

wounded men were being operated on
in the room just above the mems cell,
aud that the blood was running
down the wall, and had run down tho
clues of his hammock, so that he had
to change its position. When I had
a chance to speak to him and to tho
others afterward, they said that both .
Spanish sergeant and a Spanish pr,-
vate had told them that the blood
came from the men we had wounded
that we had killed fourteen and
wounded thirty-seyen!
In visit to the MORO after the
surrender was very much puzzled to
find fresh gashes aud imprints of varl-
Gus sizes in the rear walls as though
it had been attacked from the lushora
side, while we had attacked only from
the sea. Every indication seemed to
point to the conclusion that the Spanl-
ards firing at the Merrimac had struck
their own men across the channel
This was the more to be expected
from the horizontal fire. MORO.
though elevated, was in the line OF
fire from the Reina Mercedes, whose
projecties, exploding on the Merrl-
mac, doubtless showered the banks
and the rear of Moro beyond. No
wonder, then, that they took US tos
an armored man-of-war.

NAGOALEN'S VOW. :

Miss Barbara Peckham had just sat
down to her evening cup OF tea.
The Peckham Seminary for Young
Ladies had been unusually trying to

tress that day, and Miss Barbara stood
in serious need Of her cup of tea.
She was tall and spare and usually
wore rich, lust ess Black six dresses,
and heavy god eyeglasses: her private
sanctum was comfortably, not to say
luxuriously furnished, with curtains
of ciaret-colored cloth, u 4 .ep red car
pet. and an ariary in the bay window,
whose feataered inhabitants were
mostly red-for Miss Peckham be-
lieves in correspondence of coIors.

The World Upside Down.

Mr.. E. ii. House use1 to live in
Japan, and in a chapter of his bright
Sides of History" in ST. Nicholas, be
mentions some of the peculiar Gus

"Were you upside down, uncle,

Dick. 'T was like everybody else in
that region, Dick. When stoci mp

and you might call my po, o,ition upside

But that was only my bodily attitude.

that were contrary to my experience.
II I went riding I did not b. -autify my

bags of bright-colored brocade, such

Not Afraid Of Man.

One of the most pleasant features
of the drive through the Yellowstone
National park is The apparent intimacy
between man and the animal and bird
life i'll the park. Thanks to the wise
and string Int r. gulations, no shooting
is allowed wi hin its boundaries.
'The result" says an Eug'ish
tourist, sis positively charming.
Hundreds Of little chipmunAs with
their Candy striped backs, sc,.mpered
impudently about or peered ut the
passing coach from the roadside, The
squirrel did not bolt for the Nearest
tree, but nodde! welcome. All bird
life treated us likewise. Even the
lordiy eagle lowered neav, and the
wild turkey stalked unc~n. ernedly
through the rank grass. We perceived
q de and fawn grazing by the road.
Not until we were within q few feet

away was brown bear. He turned
tail at the sight of coaching party,
yet it was quite common thing for
bears to approach close to the hotels
at evening to feed on the refuse thrown
ont. It was after-dinner relaxation
for the guests to watch them feeding.
They munched and disputed the
choicest movsels, for the most part
indifferent to the company. Only

Necessary for self-Protection

From the Kansas City Star.
 The report of Colonel Waring, de- scribing the condition of Havana as a nest of pestilence, puts an end to reasonable opposition to the control of Cuba by the United States. One of the reasons for American intervention was to protect the Southern states from yellow fever and cholera, carried from stricken Cuban ports or travelling in the air. Cuba's frightful condition menanced the lives of millions of Americans, men, women and children Unless the United States assumed charge of the island there was no guaranty that these dangers would be stamped out. As a measure of self protection the United States military forces are now occupying Cuba and cleaning unfortunate cities thereof.
