Advice.


There was some one or other who had a
quaint way
OF merrily saying "Furgft it!'
Don't keep on bewailing your lot day by
day,
1t isn't your duty, so quit it.
There's no use complaining of how things
are run;
This earth has it's sorrow and likewise it's
fun.
If you find you can't right any mischief
that's done,
"Furgit it! F'urgit it. Furgit n!'
Grim winter has fingered, but gnarly old
trees
Strive for blooming and murmur Eur
git it''
And the echo is caught by the whispering
breeze.
: Regret? They would never permit it.,
Our troubles we've had; and we'u have
them again.
But when solace invites only folly seeks
pain.
Let us grieve when we must and till then
sound the strain,
'Furgit it! Furgit it! Furgtt Hp'

OUR DIPLOMATS ALL RIGHT.
Cousins Thinks the Method ofsclect
ing Them Won't Be Changed.

Washington, Jan. Att will be a
long time before there is n change i'll
the method of selection of our diplo-
matte and consular representatives"
said Bob" Cousins, of Iowa. "The
project to reform that service is an old
one and there is no particular neces-
sity why it should be adopted. We
have been ably represented abroad,
both in the diplomatic and consular
service and most of our ministers have
been eminently successful. Franklin
was not diplomatist in the common
acceptance of the term. but his mis-
sion was successful one.
ut is the impression of many that
there is some trick to be learned be-
fore Il man can become n diplomat, but
this is not true. All that is required
is intelligence and common decency.
Some of the Europeans complain of
our manners, but this is without JUS
tifcation. While we are sometimes
rather emphatic in our representa-
tions, the business in hand is always
set forth in a polite way, even when
it is necessary to make it plain that
further talk will not be tolerated.
ability is another characteristic of
our representatives, and while in near
ly every instance they have had no
previous training, they rank well with
diplomats of other nations. In my
Judgment they will continue to bu Sc
lected from the body polite, and this,
| believe, is the proper course to pur-
sue, especially in the consular service,
where business men prove of great
ynlnno

GENERAL. RIos,AT MANILA.
Former visayas Captain General
Cables His Government.

Madrid, Jan. 4.--General Rios, the
Spanish commissioner, cables that he
has arrived at Manila on board the
Leon MIL. after having completely
evacuated the Visayas and the north
ern part of the island of Mindanao and
after blowing up fourteen forts and
the feet of gunboats on Lake Lano.
He adds that 1000 Spanish troops are
concentrated at Sambodanga under
command of General Montero.
The Spanish general also says thut
before quitting the trenches he warned
the insurgents in the vicinity of Iloilo
that il they fired a single shot he
would raze the town.
The Spanish transport Nlonserrat
sails for Spain on January IA, and the
Leon MIL, with General Rios on
board, sails for Spain on January IL.
Official circles here are warmly dis
cussing the attitude of Great Britain
owing TO her pressing demands that
Spain sell her coaling station in the
Balearic islands and other strategical
points, so as to render Gibraltar unas-
sailable.
The negotiations on the subject have
been in allegiance owing to Premier
Sagasta's illness. but it is believed
that Spain, influenced by France and
Russia. will resist the demands Of
Great Britain.
