I had to go and buy

I had to go and buy Right from my smiling neighbors, Who had a good supply, They'd slylv nudge their elbows, And taunt me with a laugh, 'Tis labor's wheat that's golden, And speculation chaff. I learned ttis goodly lesson And in my heart it seems One day of honest labor
 Is worth ten years of dreams. And now in idly wishing,
 My duty ne'er l shirk; But just roll up my shirt sleeves, And like a beaver work.

WISHING AND WORKING
BY R. c. MUNKITRICK.

 When was young at farming, I'd watch the turnips tops. And quickly go to wishing For good, big, rousing crops. I wished for mammoth pumpkins All others to outweigh; In short, I took to nothing But wishing all the day. A solace sweet and soothing In every wish would turk, Till dreaming speculation
 Seemed surer than hard work. I wished my cellar full of
 Potatoes with will; I wished the granary grooming With corn to go mill. While other farmers wished for A good supply of rain, I thought it as sound logic To wish for fruit and grain, And so I went on wishing, Contented with my lot, In autumn no potatoes.
 Were boiling in my pot, tell you I'd discovered
 That wishing only breeds Keen disappointment; wishing Won't pull up choking weeds, It won't hoe corn in summer, Or husk it in the fall; I tell you, boys, that wishing Won't run farm at all. That winter my potatoes

BALLOONS IN WAR.

During the expedition to the Soudan
the balloon corps was of immense
service in disclosing the position and
tactics of the enemy. In one particular
instance the Soudanese attacked
General MacNeill's zereba (earthworks)
established to protect the environs of
Suakim, near Tamai. The attack took
place during the night, and before help
could arrive most Of the British soldiers
were hors de combat, although they
just managed to keep the zereba from
falling into the hands of the enemy.
After this Major Temple made several
ascents with his captive balloon, and
detected the enemy in the bush prepar-
ing to make another attack, while the
force in the zereba, thinking that they
had quite retired, were totally off
guard.
Colonel Templer says that the sight
of the balloons has a very demOraliz-
ing effect upon the natives of these
countries, since they cannot find cover
from them to hide their movements
for even at night they are easily
detected from the balloons by means of
powerful electric searchlights carried in
the car These natives are In the habit

NOT so MA GNIFICENT.

One Of the most attractive and pow
erful arguments for Expansion" has
been the magnificent expansion of trade
that they said would come with it. Per-
hape they have overdone this argument
a little. At any rate, some interviews
held by a reporter of the New York
Commercial, an imperialist journal,
with New York shipping firms all go to
show that neither Porto Rico nor Cuba
is meeting the brilliant expectations of
commercial expansionists. 1.-THE expect
ed boom in this trade" says the Com
mercial, has not materialized. "There
is no use telling people that the islands
afford golden opportunities now when
they do not" frankly remarked one
steamship man. ANY one who has
studied the histories of these places will
soon see that development will be very
slow-almost too slow for the average
American temperament. AS for Porto

York and Porto Rico line, who says: Il

for money making just now. 1 believe
