Extracts From IHoar's Speech

the speech of Senator Hoar on
the Philippine Islands delivered
in the United States Senate on
April 18th :
Certainly the flag should new.
er be lowered from any moran
field over which.it has once wav-
ed. To follow the flag is to FOL
low the principles Of freedom
and humanity for which it islands
To claim that we must follow II
when it stands for injustice or
oppression is like claiming thai
we must take the nostrums OF
quack doctor who stamps it on
his wares, or follow every scheme
of wickedness or fraud, If only
the flag be put at the prospectus
The American flag is in more
danger from the imperiallsts
than there would be if the whole
of Christendom were to combine
in it's power against it. For
eign violence at worst could only
rend it. But these men are try
ing to stain it.
We have lost the right to offer
our sympathy to the Boer in his
wonderful and gallant struggle
against terrible odds for the re-
public in Africa. We must pre-
pare ourselves for a great stand
ing army. We already hear the
demand for a great standing
army, and a navy equal to that
of England. The American child
hereafter must be born with a
mortgage round his neck. The
American laborer hereafter must
stagger through life with a sold
Ter on his back.

preached in high places that the
Constitution was intended for g
small people and not for a large
one.

HOW INFERNO SAVED His MON"

Drove the Ambulance Like Mad Ihat
IL Iatient Might not Dic,on has Hands.
The regular reporters and the occasional
re,ortet were chatting together outside
BeIlevue's lodge gate just before l o ctOch
tother night when tnA attention or All
hands was attracted to the racket made
by a returning ambulance. 1t was COM
ing east through TWenty-slXth Street on
a furious gallop, the driver was pounding
the bell and the White-duck surgeon IN
stead of being out of sight inside the We
hicle with his patient was standing beside
the driver, and as he came nearer he was
heard to yell, Gate! Gate!'
The lodge gate swung open and the am
buance driver made the. sharp turn Of en-
trance at fun gallop. Down the asphalt
stretch to the receiving office went the
outfit at top speed 1t almost seemed as
if the horse stopped his galioping in an in
slant and reversed himself into the same
gait to back the ambulance against the
curb. The young barerheaded surgeon
had leaped to the ground and was calling
to the orderlies:
Here, you, get that patient out of the
ambulance, quick
The driver didn't lose an instant getting
around to- the rear of the ambulance to
help, although that is not one Of his pre-
scribed duties.
whats the case, doctor?" asked one Of
the reporters.
ooh, just a comatose drunk. Had high
temperature and I was afraid he'd die on
me in the wagon No story in it,
The surgeon had lost much OF his fierce
earnestness after the patient had been car
ried out OF the ambulance. He began TO
laugh uproariously and to compliment the
driver.

The ambulance surgeon overheard and
laughed even more immediately. The
night superintendent looked at the visitor
doubtfully and then laughed with the sur
geon.

down he reached into a large pocket and
drew forth what looked TO be a coonskirl.
He laid the skin on the counter. The bar
keeper took the skin, and opening a
drawer, hauled out a rabbit skin. which
ne offered as change. The mounsaineer
picked up the skin and started 10 the front
part OF the store, which was the grocery
department He there bought twist OF
plug tobacco and rendered the rabbit skin
in paymens. He received a big twist OF
long green. and / was surprised to see
the storekeeper reach in another drawer
and tender him a squirrel skin The noun

pocket, walked OUT, uhtiitGHeo MS tioi pc

II became interested and engaged the
nroDrietor in conversation. He told me
that sometimes .he would go months with
out seeing any real money, and that the
nno,ntaineers used the skins in all kinds
of trades. such buying provisions, horses.
&c. Ee said that four times year
