A Friend of the sparrows.

A philanthropic old lady, who lives
on small street below Morris, for
several years past has fed daily large
number of sparrows in the front entry
of her house. A great many of the little
birds hover about the house Of their
friend, and perch fearlessly on the steps
and window sills. The children and TIE
neighbors, strange to say, have the ut
most respect for the birds and take
great care never to interfere with them.
The old lady pays for the regular re.
moval of her ashes and garbage. When
ever the ash man comes the sparrows
are generally perched about on the
ledge of the ash barrel, and the man
will not go near them until the old
lady comes TO the door and calls them
all inside. Recently an intruder in the
shape of white owl came to the door,
and there was great excitement among
the children OF the neighborhood. They
would not touch 1t because they
thought 1t was new pet, but when the
old lady's attention was called to the
owl, she gave the children ice cream
money to capture II and take it away
from the vicinity, so that her sparrows
would not be disturbed. - Philadelphia

The most disgraceful crime of
the century is the one being un-
covered by the Miles Investigate
ing committee and known to the
world as 1.-THE Beef Scandal"
The deeper the committee
probes into this rottenness the
worse it grows. The contrac-
tors who are responsible for it
all should be punished to the ex-
IRENE limit of the law. BY their
murderous work they have not
only destroyed an industry of
the country, but they have killed
many brave soldiers who were
at the front fighting for their
country's flag.
1t will be many long years be-
fore any foreign country will buy
American canned beef again; it
will be longer before it will be
bought and eaten at home

The statistics for the year 1895
will reveal a startling state of
affairs-in fact will knock the
props completely from under the
fanatical temperance lecturers
who have in the past claimed
that Alcoholism was the cause
of more deaths than any other
plague. But the statistics of
1898 will refute this idea and
place Algerism in the lead as a
destroyer of human life. For a
proof lcok at the record during
the late war with Spain The
number of men killed in battle
in the army was only 800 and
those who died from wounds was
l25. But the number that sue
cumbed to Algerism-while in
camp, was 5,277. Now who is
responsible for Alger ? Solve
this question and then see who
Is responsible for all these
Deaths.

We sometimes wonder if there
is an intelligent workingman in
the land that is so blinded by
partisanship as to yet believe
the hirelings of plutocracy, when
they, in their stump speeches
and through the columns of the
gold plated press, tell the work
men how they love them-and
because of this great anxiety for
the welfare of the laborer they
do not want them swindled by
having the stipend they get for
their labor, paid them in silver.
Is it possible for an intelligent
man to believe such tommyrot =?
1t can only be the blindly part
isan and the grossly ignorant
that swallow such gush. The

welfare OF the poor laborer If
they would better their condi-
ton American workingmen must

tunate as the first one, but it was
a desperate encounter, l can tel
you, and | don't want the bullets
to fly so close to me again, if
can help it. We fought with
great odds against us-eight to
one. We lost more men out OF
our regiment than any other &C
cording to the size of it. We had
five hundred men in the field and
we lost forty-five killed and
thirty-fiv wounded. Major Nc
Conville was shot and killed on
Sunday, the 9Th, and was brew
eted Brigider General before he
died. He was Major of the Sec
ond Battalion of the Idaho regi-
ment, and it had the brunt of the
fighting on Sunday, besides hav-
ing to charge the Insurgents
battery of artillery. When Gen
eral King saw US turn towards
the big guns of the enemy, he
had his bugler blow retreat, but
the Idaho boys needed not the
call, but with a cheer kept on,
and with a hard fight we got two
Krupp guns. After the battle
General Anderson said 1.-The
Idahos are heroes" And Gen
eral King also praised the Idaho
boys very highly. In speaking
of our gallant charge, the Gen
eral said !: "The Idahos are say
ages and fighters from hell" So
now we go by the name of
Kings Savages." But then if
there is any hard fighting to do,
they say bring up the Idahos,
and they will do it.
