to protect the sailors involved in the dis
tribution and secure Cor them the fullest
amount of their claims with the least
expense TO the recipients. There will be
several Thousand of these claims. There
are only few broad principles involved
and they were referred to the attorney
general for ruling under which the
navy department would have authority
to disburse the money. The department
will select representative cases on which
1t desires rulings and these being settled,
will assume the responsibility for paying
out the money. This will save the sail.
ors from the expense of securing attor-
neys to pro secute each separate claim. the
saving amounting to third of the
money involved according to the prece-
dent set by attorneys in the prosecution
of very similar claims. The payment of
this bounty money will affect all of the
1000 men in the Manila fight, those of the
Santiago squadron and crews of various
vessels which took prizes on the high

THE STORY OF GERMANY.
To the Editor Of the Pres:

To the Editor Of the frees:
A favorable notice of Mrs. Augusta
Gifford's story of Germany has already
appeared in the PRESS, but perhaps an
additional word will be welcomed, as the
story is told and we'll told by a Portland
lady amply qualified for the task. A
long residence, a careful study of the sub
ject, and a consciep tious use Of abundant
material, have together insured an ad-
mirable history of one of the greatest
peoples and countries in Europe. AS
England is the mother of America. SO
Germany is of England, and therefore
our grand parents. The Teutouic race has
contributed more and better elements to
the growth of modern civilization than
any other. This version of Germany's
story is not only veracious, but versatile.
Parents and teachers should encourage
our young people to read it early, and it
is equally adapted to mature men and
women. ID.

Talk About Rich Girls.

| Many poor men would like a wife
with fortune, because a fortune is
undeniably a handy thing to have in
ones family, but the men who look to
marriage as a means Of support are
comparatively few, and usually their
attitude towards life is so obvious that
no fairly sensible rich girl need be taken
IN by them. No man who is not
fool or a rascal will wish to marry a
woman, be she rich or poor, with whom
he does not believe he can live happily
But there is no such thing as a mar
rlage in which one partner is happy
and the other not. Either it is a good
marriage for both or for neither Mar
| r1age is as much, or very nearly as
much, failure to a man who is not
| happy with a rich wife as to one who
| IS not happy where both are poor What
| the rich girl wants is just what the
poor girl wants-a good man who suits
her, and who is worth marrying. If
she can satisfy herself that her sutton
| is a good man, and that he has sense
enough to provide for his own happ-
| ness, she need not distress her mind
with speculations as to how much
weight her fortune has in promoting his
attentions. The man who wants to
marry her merely because she is rich is
unworthy, and if she has a fair degree
of discernment she will detect his I'M
worthiness. But the man who wants
to marry her. and is glad she has a
fortune because it makes marriage more
feasible for both of them, is not nee
|essarily unworthy, but if she loves him
he may be an advantageous person for
her to marry. The practical turn of
mind which makes man appreciate
the advantages of accumulated money
does not necessarily render him in any
respect incapable of approaching
woman, or of repaying her confidence
in him with entire devotion anad fidel-
|ity: Her fortune far from being a
drawback to her happiness after mar
riage, will still be hers, and will still
be about as useful to her as it was be-
fore. The possession of it will help to
make her an equal partner in. the
household, and, indeed, will tend, es-
pecially if it is too big, to make her
the ruling partner, so that she will have
need to exercise some discretion to
avoid having too much her own way.
That may be bad for her, but it is one
of the risks rich girls must rum 1t is
offset by the risk the man runs in hav-
ling his future too much dominated by
his wife's money; but if the man is the
right sort of man and the woman the
right sort of woman both risks may
be safely taken. In the end it is char
acter and disposition that count, and
the money, be there much or little, and
whoever has it, becomes an incident and
no more.-Harper's Bazaar.
