How the Queen Managed IT..

One Of the royal housemaids fell
i'll recently in Windsor castle One
OF the clergy attached to the royal
residence-it was one of the canons
OF Windsor-went to visit the aling
girl. says Under the Union Jack. The
sufferer was in a bed in room
which was high up in the building
and could only be approached by sew
eral flights of stairs. The canon who.
by the way. is not in the first flower
of youth. was a little tried by the as
cent. When he arrived at the room
of the sick girl he remarked upon
her peculiarly radiant expression. and
also made a half-jocular allusion to
the altitude of her bedroom and the
difficulty he had experienced on the
stairs. II am happy. SIR said the
housemaid. "To-day the queen her
self has been to see me. Her mai
esty came into this room and sat
down by me. Then she said: L
have got away from them all and
come to see you. Do you know how l did
it? l managed by sitting down on
every third stuir!'''

FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.

A SONG FOR THE TIMES.

Come, sing us a song, o Poet!
A song of modern times;
Not song of flowers end lcafy bowers,
Nor Of madens fair with beauty rare
Nay not such soothing rhymes.
Tune thy harp to a martial strain
Gainst tyranny and wrong
Till the wild blood leaps, and surGing, sweeps
Our cowardly fears and childish tears,
And we breast life's current strong.
Why sing us Of dasicd meadows
While hungry children weep.
And the moan and cry Of agony
From the weak oppressed and the poor uhblesseC
Make sad eyes Danish sleep?
Why lull us to sleep with your songs
OF leafy bowers Of ease
While the rampant lie is set on high,
And Truths fair fame is put to shame,
And tyrants still increase?
Nay, sing not of beauty, Poet
To those whose eyes are dim
With the tears Of woe that overflow;
To the sad of heart who feel life's smart,
And wage its battle grim.
Nay, sing to our craven spirits,
And bid US dare and do
Till the selfish greed, like noxious weed
That doth grow apace on earth's fair face,
Hath vanished from the view;
Till each one shall love his ncighbor,
Not on his ruin rise;
Till we cannot laugh and nectar quaf
While brothers moans and feeble groans
Ascend up to the skies.
When beauty shall dwell within us,
And live in the common good,
Then sing Of flowers and lcafy bowers,
And meadows white in sweet sunlight,
And thou'lt be understood.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Resenting an Insult.

To the growing crop OF Roosevelt stories we

he was quite dandfcd in his dress.

used to take brisk walk each morning, pause
at this inn for lunch, and thus equip himself
for a days strenuous life in the legislature. one
morning, while eating this lunch, he overheard
one of group of toughs refer to him as a
'blankety blank dude" The remark was made
insolcntly and was plainly meant to he over
heard Teddy quietly concluded his meal, paid
his bill, wiped his moustache and sauntered over
to the fellow who had made the remark.
"My friend, can you fight? Ii you can, put up
YOUR hands, for that - dude is going to
lick the stufing out Of you"
The tough squared of and Teddy let him have
one that sent him to the floor. moment later

Confidence in Americans.

TN VIEW of the notes of alarm
sounded and the slanderous in
Il situations against the United
States government that have
been uttered for months past by the
traitorous element known as antrim
perialists, the recent expression of
faith in the administration on the part
of Ii Hung Chang is refreshing proof
that the efforts of the mischief makers
have not been so far-reaching in re-
suits as the noise made would indi-
cate. In discussing the gloomy situa-
tion in the Orient, Ii Hung Chang, the
greatest of Chinese statesmen, says
that the Americans alone want no ter
ritory and that he is willing to TRUST
the case to them unreservedly for set
tlement. The viceroy understands and
appreciates the wisdom of the adminis-
.ration in Washington in taking
prompt measures to protect American
,itizen in the localities where disor-
Ter threatens to grow beyond control
of the officials of the Chinese govern
ment, but feels no alarm over the
anti-imperialistic and Democratic
campaign battle ballads which would
accuse the president of a desire to ac-
quire territory beyond the seas. The
resolution and philanthropy displayed
by the government of the United
States in accepting the burden of the
Philippines that came as an incident
of war have produced an effect upon
Af
scarcely be comprehended by the mar
row-minded breeders of discomfort, who
manufacture arguments to be used in
efforts to belittle the president and
high officials at Washington.
When one contemplates the work ac-
complished by our troops at Manila, IL
is not surprising that the United
States should be rated among the most
formidable and generous powers of the
earth. The rapidity with which organ.
lied forces of insurrection were dis.
pensed and the consideration that has
been accorded the vanquished foe have
not only established the prestige of the
American soldier as a fighter, but
have demonstrated to the world the
unselfshness of the United States
government in dealing with the vexet
problems brought about by the wal
with Spain.
The coterie of discomfort that Is toll
Grated with good nature in this coun
try can not or will not view the situa
tion as it is, but to the world at larg,
the course of the government has eve
been of a nature to inspire respect anC
confidence

Not a HYpoclite.

W. f. Curtis. in tn Chicago Record
Roosevelt is no hypocrite. He is as far from
that fault as any man and has the kindlicst feel
ing toward everybody. ! know of certain
case in which he called to his office one of the
worst politicians in New York and opened the
conversation in this frank way:
"Tom," he said, his teeth cleaning with a
sense of humor at the situation, ''you are a
consummatc scoundrel. I've known all about
you since | was commissioner OF police and
regard you as one of the most dcpravcd and
dangerous men in New York, but you have got
a good streak in you for all that. I want youI
assistance and am going to trust you, and
want you TO pledge yourself that you won't SO
back on me. Now shake hands"
The thug looked the governor squarely IN INC
eve, gave his hand a crushing grip and replied
''You'u never regret this, governor" and las

lHB tne Close OF tne war
- with Spain 1t is probable
that the utterances of no
other man in the senate gave more
delight to the Bryan journals through
out the country than those of Senator
Hoar. The arraignment of the admin
istration on the Philippines policy by
the venerable statesman from Massa-
chusetts, who has been among the
front rank of Republcanism during
the most critical periods of the ma
tons history, was one of the choicest
bits of thought ever laid aside by Dem
oeratlc spell binders for future cam
paign material and effective work was
expected of orators and writer's who
could give the most startling repro
duction at the coming battle for the
presidency. 1t must be with sadness
and chagrin therefore that leaders in
the unpromising struggle in the in
terest of Organism contemplate the re-
cent remarks upon the subject by Sem
ator Hoar. While declaring that he
has been and still is Opposed to the
policy which brought on the war in
the Philippine islands," Mr.. Hoar EN-
phatically asserts:
president Mckinley and Governor
Roosevelt will have no more earnest
supporter in the country than l shall
be. whether we consider the character
ofthe candidates, the character of the
counsellors they will bring with them
into power. the effect of the prosperity
and happiness of the American people,
or the ultimate triumph of liberty and
justice in the distant islands which
have been brought under our con-
troll
