The Dominican revolution is said to
be only for good government with
view to final annexation to the United
States. Hence we can afford to view
this little fracas complacently, especial
ly since the revolutionists seem to be
on top. We are ready. to take in the
Dominican republic and Cuba, too,
whenever they are ready to come to
their Uncle Sam. Both these islands
are within the scope of the Monroe Doc
Urine, and will be infinitely more de-
sirable and profitable to the United
States than ten archipelagoes like the
Philippines on the other side of the
earth, where such possessions can be
held only in violation of every Ameri-
can precedent and tradition and the
Constitution, and can only be a source
of constant warfare, danger. of foreign

A BOYS SACRIFICE.
Story By Thos. Lafon
GuiiSE
Devon, Pa, March 9, 1899.

Devon, Pa, March 9, 1899.
There was a crowd in the railroad
station in Boston. Among the rest was
a bright-eyed, bare foot, smiling news
boy. who had sold ali mis- remaining
papers but one. He had given half his
supply to another boy who had failed
to get any that morning.
Just then a procession began to pass
with a band of music. The crowd
pressed to the iron railing to see and
hear Among others was a little negro
boy. VINO squeezed his head through
between the strong bars and was de-
lighted with his good view.
A short distance above this company,
lust at the top of the incline on which
they were all standing, was a large
truck piled high with heavy trunks,
no one attending it.
BY some means This truck was start
ed down the incline. Unguided, and
with rapidly increasing momentum, it
ran straight for the preoccupied COM
pany at the railing.
A loud cry of warning rang through
the station Every one ran from the
impending death. The negro boy alone
remained struggling wildly, but in
vain, to draw his head from between
the bars. Instantly the quick eye of
the newsboy, who had jumped to one
side, took in the situation-certain
death to the >pinioned boy if the truck
were not Immediately turned from it's
course. Without a moments hesita-
ton he sprang forward and firmly
planted his small bare foot in the path
of the front wheel. The axle turned;
the life was saved, but there was
MASKING of bones, the blood spurted,
the foot was flattened. The boy grasp
ed his paper convulsively, staggered
and fell-white and unconscious.
Loving hands bore him to the near
est hospital. Weeping but proud for
humanity's sake, others went to tell
the widowed mother Of the deed of her
only son.

one of the least of these

DEBT is The EVIL
Kaiser After His Officers
for Bad Financiering.
An Order to DenouncS Usurers-
Explanation Is Made BY Off,
cers-Marriage Question.

BERLIN.-The Kaiser is out with an
order to try to keep his officers out of
debt condition which prevails to
such a degree that it is almost univer-
SAL The truth is their pay is so small
and their temptations are so great that
few OF them come through unless, as
so often is the case, they can manage
TO make good marriage.
Speaking on the subject an officer
says: The latest order which has
been issued by the Kaiser is that if
we are approached by any usurer We
are at once to denCunce him to the
War Ministry. But, of course, it is
generally the officer who goes to the
mOneylender and not the reverse. 1t
would be just as we'll to ask every
officer to declare to his superior that
he is compelled to incur debts, for that
is so.
THE prevalence of debt among the
officers is a calamity, and an officer
who has no debts is remark able man.
Many are the cases in which officers,
after a few months in the army. are
obliged to retire owing to debt. Just
at the present time the number OF Off
GERS leaving on this account is more
than ordinarily large, and that IS the
reason of special attention being
drawn to the matter by the Kaiser.
Many of the officers try all they can
to be ordered to Berlin, where they
hope to be able to make good mar
riage Such opportunities are granted
two years are given to attend the
War Academy, on the general staff and
for the artillery school; six months to
attend the athletic school, the bal
looming school, the veterinary school,
etc. Those who are lucky manage to
get out of the army and enter business,
for the monotony of military life and
the meagrehess of the pay make 1T
terribly hard to bear. Others fall into
hopeless debt, eXpatriate themselves TO
the United States, and there. having no
particular qualities for ordinary work,
fall into the lowest positions. as wait
ers and even as wretched dishwashers
in fashionable restaurants.

PLACE FOR ALGER

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE latest
speculation regarding the retirement
of Secretary Alger from the Cabinet is
that he may be made ambassador to
France and be succeeded in the Cab
met by Horace Porter, the present EN-
bassador at Paris. The intimation that
Gen. Porter was to be made Secretary
of War is not new, although the fact
that he is now on the way to this coun-
try has not been generally published.

Dear Sirs:-Having taken your Tonic

Acting upon the recommendation OF
my medical adviser to take a Tonic
