A NoIunteer's Appetite.

A Nebraska soldier who served faith
fully in the Philippine campaign, never
missing a scrap his regiment was en-
gagged in, says an Omaha exchange,
wrote home to his wife: II see they are
preparing to give us grand banquet
when we return to Omaha. That's
all right, but 1 want something to eat
before the banquet comes off. And
want it at home. l want it on the table
when get home, too. What do want? :?
Well, here's the list: Sirloin steak, rare;
hot biscuit and plenty of them, made
by you. flour and milk gravy, about
three quarts; mashed potatoes, apple
sauce, corn on the cob, II ears; string
beans, macaroni and cheese, peaches
and cream, ice cream. l want you to
get all these things ready. We have had
plenty to eat since reaching San Fran
cisco, but when things are camp
cooked, they all taste alike. Cook 'em
yourself, and don't think because I've
been away over a year you can ring in
any hired-girl cooking on me. When |
get through with this bill of fare I'll
be ready to tackle the banquet"

The Ferris Wheel

The mammoth Ferris wheel win
probably be taken away from Chicago
before many months have passed.
What is to be done with it is still in
doubt; but the company now owning it
is thoroughly convinced it can no long
er be made paying amusement invest
ment in Chicago, says local exchange.
Negotiations have been pending for
some time to take it to one of the sea-
shore resorts near New York, prefer
ably Coney Island, and it is more than
likely this will be the disposition made
of it. Though the Ferris wheel was
considered one of the wonders of the
worlds fair it has never since appealed
to amusement seekers in this vicinity.
Ferris Wheel park, an uncommonly
pretty resort, was built around it on
the present site in North Clark street,
and even this failed to attract the pub
lie until a variety performance was in
troduced. Since then the attendance
has been uniformly large, and the man
agement is doubtless convinced that
the park will be equally successful if
the wheel is taken elsewhere.

DELUDED DEMOCRATS.
Nothing Upon Which to Base Tkeif
HystericnI Declarations
and Charges.

The Atkinsonians are overstating
their case. There is nothing to justify
the hullabaloo they are trying to ra1se.
The question of tariff reform as orig
inally stated was not demand for free
trade, nor yet an unqualified denuncia-
ton of protection. The specifications
made afforded a good basis for discus
sion, and some prominent republicans
were inclined to support the PROPOSE
ton, the gist of which was that tariff
duties, by reason of the growth of the
country and the development of busl-
ness, should be rearranged. But this
did not satisfy the extremists. They
assumed leadership, and forthwith be-
gan to talk about Chinese wall, the
reign of robber barons, and generally
to substitute the eXtravaganccs OF the
stump for the figures and the sober
vocabulary of business.
The country was slow to respond.
Several national campaigns we're fought
before the change was voted. Then
came an exposure, the Illumination OF
which has never been exceeded in our
politics. The men who had pledged
themselves to destroy protection root
and branch were now forced to take
shelter under that policy. The busi'
ness of the country, as they found
was so intimately connected with pro
lection that the destruction of the lat
ter, as promised, would bring about
wholesale bankruptcy. They dared not
keep their pledges, but shutlied and
lodged and cut the schedules in SO un-
skillful fashion in lame effort tr
cover their retreat that confusion ev-
erywhere prevailed. The people turned
them down at the first opportunity, ard
that ended an agitation which had con-
tinued unabated for nearly 20 years.
1t may be admitted with regard to
our new possessions that they afford
a legitimate topic for discussion. How
shall they be developed? Precisely.
What form of government will be besi
for them and best for us? We are re
sponsible for them, and should exert
ourselves to do a good part by them

ed that the country is on the high road
to perdition, and viii shortly reach that
destination unless it executes a right
about face, withdraws from its new pos
sessions and snuggles up within its old
borders again, hysteria is permitted tc
take the place of reason.
Just as the free traders, having won
their fight by playing upon fears and
prejudices, were exposed and repudi-
ated, just so would these shouters about
Caesarism and Imperialism fare if il
were possible for them to win. No party
in office would dare to surrender the
fruits of our victory over Spain, or even
seriously to temporize with the duties
imposed by national pride and national
development. a campaign cry is one
thing. The responsibility of office is
another thing.-Washington Star.

Overina mountainous country east of
Echo where 60 sleek Jerseys walk with
the regularity of clockwork into their
stalls at 4:30 every afternoon, says the
Hartford Comm Times, lives Amri
Stone, who likes raw eggs with their
shells on. Recently, on bet, in Flute
vile, he swallowed 25 of these eggs.
This eclipsed all his former records.
In his latest test he is said to have swal-
lowed the eggs without difficulty up
to the twentieth. 1t took him an hour
to get away with the rest. He won $5
by the operation and his friends ex-
pected to find him dead the next day.
Stone, however, was up early and out
and cut a cord of wood between day
light and dark, taking along with him
a lunch of more raw eggs, a loaf of
bread and a few slices of raw pork.

KANSAS HEROES RETURN.
EunstOn's Warriors Land i'm san Fran
cisco and are Given liagnificen ns
Reception.


San Francisco, Oct. 12.-The Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment and the 400 dis
charged soldiers who arrived here
Tuesday night on the transport Tartar
landed yesterday. When the quaran-
tine inspection was finished and the
word was passed among the soldiers
that the vessel would he docked i'm
mediately q great hurrah greeted TIE
announcement and the soldiers com
menced their preparations for dehar-
kation. The water front was black
with people. AS the Tartar passed
slowly along the water front the sol
diers were cheered again and again.
Flags were dipped and whistles and
calliopes added to the din.
The march to the Preside reserva-
ton was a continuous ovation. The
streets were thronged with excited
people, all anxious to honor the re-
turned heroes. Cheers upon cheers
passed mp and down the lines of people.
Cannons were fired at intervals, bells
changed and whistles and steam CALI
opes added their noises to the occa-
sion.
Gen. Funston marched with Gov.
Stanley, of Kansas, and escort. The
throngs surged around Gen. Funston
and he had great difficulty III making
progress. Rounds of cheers greeted
him.
The crowds simply would not let the
soldiers pass in peace. Relatives and
friends broke into the ranks and
marched with the soldiers, some smil-
ing and laughing and others crying.

worse for Wear, III spite of the ardu-
Gus campaign through which they had
passed, called forth tremendous APP
plause whenever they were sighted.
Taking it all in all the soldiers looked
to be in fair health, but of course
there were some who showed the ef-
fects of the severe campaign. Bring
ing up the rear of the regiment were
the hospital wagons, not very heavily
laden with sick.
Gen. Funston, in an interview said:
"This is America, you know-and | am
an American. That tells the story
best of our delight in reaching home
again. There is nothing like the
great JOY of being back here again,
among people whom we know are our
countrymen and kin. | have only
this to say of the campaign in the
philippines everything is being done
that could be to carry the war to an
early and successful conclusion. The
report that | am an anti-eXpansionist
is ridiculous and not worthy of seri-
Gus consideration. | never intimated
such a thing and have been wrongly
quoted in the matter.
THE people must stop to consider
when they are passing judgments that
there are countless conditions to be
constantly overcome before headway
can be made. | fear that the exact
difficulties of the situation are not full
ly understood.
''Some mistakes may have been
made, but the campaign has been con
ducted in a most able nnG conscien-
tious manner and every man has done
his best. No grave errors have oc-
Cured but it is always easy to look
back and comment upon what has
been done, even though that might
have been accomplished under trying
circumstances"

THE SILVER SCARECROW,
nsionists Trying to Raise
the Bugaboo of elm
periaIism."

The reported failure of the Bryan
spellbinding tour in Nebraska, the man
ifest Indifference of the people of Iowa
to the declamatory alarums of Candi-
date White and the dull thud with
which McLean's anti-American attack
upon the presidents Philippine policy
fell upon the people of Ohio are all sig
nifcant straws indicating the direction
of public sentiment on the Expansion"
issue.
1t was a most inopportune time to
inaugurate the campaign against ''im-
perialism" in these states, when the
people of all parties are engaged in gen.
erous rivalry for precedence in the pub
lie ceremonies arranged with lavish
elaboration for the reception of the
naval hero who, more than anyone else,
is responsible for the sudden revival
among the people of the sentiment of
eXpansion-a sentiment that has been
coeXistent with our national growth
and progress. 1t is poor time to ask
the people to pull down the flag when
the people are covering with honors un-
paralleled the man who raised it in the
Philippines.
But even though Admiral Dewey had
remained in the far Pacific it would not
be possible for Bryan, White and Nc
Lean to persuade the American people
that our determination to honorably
discharge the national obligation inn
posed upon us by the victory in Manila
bay is the forerunner of any policy of
imperialism" on the part of the pres
ent administration. The people are in
telligent enough to know that there is
no dream of empire" involved in our
efforts to set up law and order in the
Philippines. No man who has person
ally investigated the condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines or who has any
accurate knowledge of their people has
yet claimed that the Filipinos are ca
pable of self-government. If the sup
preston of insurrection in these is
lands and the establishment of stable
and humane government under our flag
is ''imperialism" then the present adj
ministraton should welcome the issue
and the people would sustain it over
whelmingly at the polls.
But there is no such issue before the
American people. The campaign in Iowa
is already old enough to demonstrate
that the people will not be stampeded
away from national expansion and ma
tional duty by the silver scarecrow, "im.

PLEASED THE DRIVER.
The stout Lady Was Less a burden

One of the most delightful women in New
York is one who discarded her waist line
years ago. She is built on the order of the
tub, but she has genial and accommodate
ing disposition and laughs heartily when she
tells this story on herself
She had been to the Catskills for few
weeks, staying at one of those mountain top
houses that it takes you four hours to drive
up to and half an hour to come down from.
She was met at the nearest railway station,
she and half a dozen others, by stage that
set off up the mountain road. 1t was hot and
the stout lady had kind heart. She pitied
the horses and as the road grew sleeper she
volunteered to get out and walk. The driver
helped her down and she trudged along as
far as she could. Then she was helped into
the stage again and at the next steep grade
she insisted on being helped out. She had
returned to the carriage another time, when
they came to a still sleeper stretch of road
way. The stout lady was just too tired to
walk another step.
well" she said, 'I'm not going to get out
again. I'm too tired"
The driver turned to her with look OF
gratitude.
THAT'S all right" he said. "Set still. I'd

out SC often"
And he 'hauled" her to the very steps oi
the hotel.-N. Y. Sun.

Center church was about TO marry a
