This eve. by the glowing fender. 1 sit, one
boy on my knee,
And another at the table. near by, work

He has begged my "Old Coast Pilot" a

And the salt marks of five oceans thumb

And now as he pastes and presses 'twixt
those covers service worn
The dead leaVes-oTange and scarlet-from
the naples on our lawn,
Comes from him a puzzled murmur, then,
'Papai" he quickly calls.
AS down from the old books pages a faded
brown leafet falls
Just a scrap of foolscap doubled on a curl

With Poor Allan died at SUNRISE" In a

Who was Allan?" he asks gravely, but,
dear lad, hear him not;
Memory thralled, my thought has drifted
leagues away from this home spot;
Once more I am on midocean and my rock
er's long swing seems
The rough lurching of our packet breasting
the sea of dreams;
While the flicker of the hearth's fame Is
that same familiar glow,
Whose weird glimmer chased the shadows
Where, once more beside a shipmate, halt
ing at LIES Great Divide

See his bronze cheek, wan and sunken,
brighten as the end draws near;
Like rock the TIDES sweep touches beau

From this rude bunk by the foremost

All night, with the great spar chanting its
plant near his pillowed head
Daft unconscious, he has babbled, and
when morning breaks, lies dead.

Where swathed close in worn storm canvas

Then with no sound, save the petrol piping

To the softened wash which FLASHES, dead

Gently through the open gangway our

NATURES HAIR INvIGORATOR.

Badness, gray hair, the thinning of the
locks upon the temples-signs of advanc-
ing years-are greatly dreaded by very
many persons. Her hair is a womans
glory, especially if It be fine naturally;
but IL perchance it should not be, she APP
peals to art for aid, and generally gets 1t
in some form or other. The love for and
appreciation of ambrosial locks leads ev-
cry year TO the expenditure OF almost
fabulous sums OF money for invigorators.
and elixirs, and dyes. and bears grease,
and the like. Great fortunes have been
built up by manufacturers of proprietary
connections for the preservation of the
hair, and scientists have made exhaustive
studies of the causes of badness and the
silvering of the human crown. Still, in
so far as we people of Christian civillza-
ton are concerned. the secret of the hair
is comparatively as a sealed book. While
we continue to pay tribute to the seven
sisters, our heads continue to lose their
thatch, to bleach, or to shine with daz-
zling smoothness of skin.
Is there no hope for the hairs of our
heads? 1t is claimed that for every hu-
man need nature has amply provided
that for every i'll there is a remedy. Sup
pose we look to our ancient heather
friends, the Chinese, from whom we have
received many good gifts. Does anyone
recall ever having seen a Chinaman with
other that luxurious hair of a natural
color? Does one recall grizzled or bald
headed Chinaman? The hair of the Ce-
lestial is almost part of his religion. How
does he keep it in such fine and vigorous
growth? 1t may be that he has discov-
cred natures own hair invigorator. 1t
seems that the same idea occurred to a
writer for the Lahore, India, Tribune, and
he asked an intelligent Chinaman about it.
And this was the Chnaman's answer:
What a carrot is to a horses coat a
rat is TO the human hair. Neither fact
can be explained, but every horseman
knows that regimen of carrots will make
his stud smooth and lustrous as velvet
and the Chinese, especially the women,
know that rats used as food stop the
falling out of hair and make the locks
soft, silky and beautiful have seen ii
tried many times"
II that is indeed the solution of the Sc
cret of fine hair, then there seems to be
an opportunity for another Jay Gould to
lay the foundation of a great fortune by
peddling rat traps, with the gentleman of
the front row and the rapidly aging spin
sters as customers.

TIE ARMY CANTEEN.

We are not surprised that the Senate
committee on military affairs has strick-
en- out of the army reorganization bill the
provision abolishing the canteen. Ii is
difficult to understand what could have
induced the House to listen to those who
are insisting that the canteen shall be
abolished II had the testimony of the
officers Of the army to the effect that there
is far less drunkenness in the army with
the canteen than without it. The army
has had ample experience with the can
teen and without It, and the conclusion
reached by those officers of the army
whose chief desire is TO do that which IS
best for the soldiers, is that from every
point Of view It would be a mistake TO
abolish the canteen.
If by abolishing the canteen the soldiers
could be weaned from their desire for
strong drink there would be very little
objection TO the abolition of 1t, but, as a
matter Of fact the soldiers will have al
coholic beverages, and if they cannot get
them in camp or barracks they will get
them outside. The canteen was abolished
some years ago. and drunkenness, and dis
orderly conduct resulting from drunken
ness, increased so rapidly that it was
restored. It was found that the effort
to prohibit the men from drinking by re-
moving liquor out of their reach, so far
as the government could do so, had the
effect of strengthening their desire for 1t.
When the soldiers were near towns 1t was
impossible to keep them out of the saloons
and when they were encamped far away
from towns "blind tigers" were establish
ed near them. AS a rule the quality of
the liquor they got in surreptitious ways
was bad, and did the soldiers far greater
harm than the reasonably good liquor
which they obtained from the canteen,
when that institution was permitted.
There is no doubt that those who ere
fighting 10 have the canteen abolished
are well meaning. They think they are
right, but they are so fanatical that they
will not listen to those who ought to
know far more about the matter than
they do. II almost seems as If some of
them are more DESTROYS of being success
full in establishing the principle of pro-
hibition in the army than they are of bene-
fitting the soldiers. In other words, they
are not so much concerned for the SOL
diers as they are In securing triumph for
their principles.
For the provision abolishing the canteen
the Senate committee has substituted a
provision establishing that institution, but
providing that no liquors stronger than
malt liquors shall be sold in them. The
committee acted wisely probably in shut
ting out liquors containing a large per-
centage of alcohol. The soldiers no doubt
viii be satisfied with beer. They can
drink a good deal of that without doing
themselves much harm. Their pay, how
ever, will not allow them to indulge very
freely in it.

Nor'IN LINE WITH HIS STATE.

OF Senator Hoars honesty in opposing
the ratification of the treaty there is no
doubt, but it must be a little CALLING 10 him
to find that on that matter he does not
lead public opinion in his state. If he had
the support of the old commonwealth
which he has represented so long first in
the House and now in the Senate, he
would not mind so much the sarcastic re-
marks aimed at him which have been APP
pearing in the leading papers of his party
ever since he announced his opposition to
the treaty.
Senator Hoar has felt proud of the fact
that for many years his state has had ex-
traordinary Influence in determining the
policies of the Republican party and in Sc
lecting the presidential candidates of that
party; and also that he was the dominat-
ing spirit of his party in that state. In
the February number of Scribner's Maya
zine he has an interesting article show
ing the conspicuous part played by Massa-
chusetts in four national Republican con-
ventlons. He does not omit, of course, TO
point out that in those conventions he led
the delegations from his state And he
appears to have led them so well that
Massachusetts exercised an influence of
which her citizens had good reason to feel
proud.
But Senator Hoar does not lead his state
on the Philippine question. His constitu-
ents do not write him letters approving his
course and expressing their admiration OF
his craftsmanship Never before has he
been aware that the atmosphere of Massa-
chusetts is decidedly chilly. He is not
certain when he visits Boston that he
will be greeted with smiling faces and out
stretched hands. He will not walk Boston
streets with the confident air of old The
thought will be ever present with him that
the legislature of his state has refused to
indorse his course in the Senate. Such
a feeling must weigh heavily on the old
man, who has spent SO many years in the
service of his country. And he is being
punished for being conscientious.
The demand of the people all the while
is for honest men In politics and yet when
an honest man gets in politics and fails
to follow the direction pointed out by pub
lie sentiment, because he thinks public
sentiment is wrong, he is condemned and
reviled, sneered at and ridiculed, as If he
had done something shameful. 1t is not
to be wondered at that men who are in
public life become wholly selfish. They
realize that if they fail to keep on good
terms with the majority they will be push
ed aside and forgotten, however great
their abilities may be or however highly
appreciated their public services may have
been. Senator Hoar has enjoyed the sweet
of political life for many years, now he is
getting a taste of the bitter of it,

VINO WILL GET TIE GLoRYf

It is TOO soon yet to say with certainty
who will figure in history as the great
heroes OF the war that was begun to free
Cuba from the yoke of Spain, because no
one Is in a position to say when and where
that war will end. It is true that treaty
of peace has been signed by this country
and will be signed by Spain, but war is
going on in the Philippines, and it may
continue for a good long time. Nations
which have as yet taken no part in it may
be drawn into it. When the war began
it was of course thought that Gen. Miles
and Gen. Merritt would play the most
conspicuous parts in It so far as the army
was concerned, and il was expected that
the naval officer who would get the most
glory out of it would be one of those
stationed on the Atlantic coast. Just now
the indications are that neither of the
generals mentioned wall be remembered
for conspicuous services. and 1t is certain
that the naval officer upon whom the
American people will confer the highest
honor was almost wholly unknown out
side of naval circles at the outbreak of
hostilities.
Dewey is the naval hero and 1t would
not be surprising if Otis should be the
man upon whom the people will want to
confer the highest military honors when
the war comes to an end. 1t Is true that
Gen. Otis has as yet done nothing that
indicates that he is more than an excellent
commander. but the manner in which he
is conducting the campaign at Manila is
winning the commentator of the govern
ment and the people. He may have
great deal more fighting TO, do. What he
has done this far justifies the opinion that
whatever he has to do he will do well.
No instructions are being sent to him.
He is conducting the campaign in accord
ance with his own judgment. If he is sue
cessful, and compels the Fiipinos TO rec
ognize the authority of the United States,
there will be very general desire to see
his services properly recognized. Dewey
is the naval officer who will get the most
glory out of the war and just at present
there are reasons for thinking that Otis
is the army officer who will have the
highest place In the admiration of the peo-
pie, SO far as the army Is concerned.

THE CANAL RuL

The prospects for the passage of a Mica
ragua canal bill by this Congress are not
good The Morgan bill, which passed the
House where an entirely new measure is
being prepared. The Morgan BIN provides
for utilizing the concessions held by the
Maritime Canal Company. These conces-
sions expire next October-that is, unless
some use is made of them before that
time. The Maritime company is not in a
position to use them and as the next Con-
gress will not meet until next December,
unless an extra session is caied-of which
there is very httSe probability at this time
lit looks very much as il that company
would get nothing for its concessions
From accounts they are not worth much.
They are considered of so little value by
members of the House that the committee
OF that body which has charge of the Mic.
aragua canal BIN is providing in the bill
which it is preparing that the United States
shall obtain direct from the Nlcaraguan
government the land needed for the build
ing of the canal.
Another strong reason why the canal bill
is likely to be held back, is the condition
Of the treasury Mr.. Cannon said on the
floor Of the House on Thursday that the
treasury deficiency promised 10 be larger
than was estimated by the Secretary of the
Treasury. He minated that the Nicara-
qua canal bill would have to take it's
chances in the next Congress. In view of
the feeling In the House in respect to the
canal the probability that the Maritime
Canal Company will get anything for its
concessions is not very strong.

She was pretty. She had been found in

The street directory furnished Mr.. Rick
ard with a list of thoroughfares in which
such a number is to be found, and he
teIephoned to the police stations to have
every such number visited. Result: No
one had missed such girl.
Mr.. Richard looked at her, hard, puzzled

Il appears that Mr.. Andre, the Belgian
consul at Manila, who is now in this coun-
try in the interest of the Filipinos, as ne
says, is really an annexationist, and be-
heves that the majority of the natives
would be very glad indeed to have their
country made a part of the United States
Aguina.do, according TO the Belgian, is
not the real leader of the Filipinos Just
how this foreign gentleman became so well

the Filipinos does not appear. 1t seems
likely that Mr. Andre has an ak to grind
