Construction Was Too Literal.

Colonel Pew tells story of the Tenth Regular Infantry that is pretty good. One night in Cuba one of the sentries was a raw recruit from the Green Isle, and the officer of the day, on his rounds was chal- lenged by him, says the Boston Record.
 "Who goes there?'
 "Oficer of the day.
 Not a move on the part of the sentry, and the O. d. stepped forward and again was greeted by Who goes there?' and again replied in the same way Not move on the part of the sentry, but the O. d. heard an ominous click.
 What are your orders, anyway" he asked.
 Challenge three times, then fre.'' was the laconic and self-satisf1ed answer, and the O. d.'s hat was raised on his hair as he realized how near he was to being pep pered by the sentry. The latter was given a few instructions before went on sentry duty again

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Revembered Her eenefactor.

On the opening day of Congress large cluster of American beauty roses made the desk of Congressman Cannon conspic- uous, relates a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat For twenty-five years the sturdy leader of the House has been coming to Congress. This was the first time he had seen flowers on his desk. Some of his colleagues thought it was a good joke. They laughed = Mir. Cannon blushed. He looked at the card. His face became serious. A suspicion of moisture appeared in the corners of his eyes. There was a wedding out in Illinois the other day and the bride had been known to MT. Cannon from the time she was baby. Her father had been one of the Congressmans friends and supporters. Last spring the brde-to-be came to the Congressman as an old friend and talked of her prospects.
 q am going to be married in December," she said.
 "Yes,' said MT. Cannon, land you are going to have a good husband. I know him."
 You understand fathers circumstances, : continued the young lady, "and you know I can't expect him to do much for me. thought l would ask if you couldn't sug- gest some kind of work for me which would help me to get my wedding outfit"
 My child" said the Congressman, "I think there is pIace in the census office waiting for just such person as you are"
 The young lady began to count population for Uncle Sam in May. The place held good until the last day of November. The clus- ter of magnificent roses with the new name of the bride told to the Congressman its whole story

Introduced as a spaniard.

Postmaster General Smith told this story on Col Curtis Guild of Boston, who ac. companied Governor Roosevelt on his cam. paign tour, relates the Baltimore News.
 "It was in an Ohio town at night meet- ing. Colonel Guild, who is a magnificent orator, is always particular about his in. troduction. He usually had it put somes thing like this: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honor of introducing to you Col, Curtis Guild of Boston, who was one of the first American officers to reach Sanu- ago, and who was with Governor Roosevelt during that memorable campaign
 "The chairman of the meeting was told what to say and was given a slip with the little introduction written on it, so that there could be no mistake. He was indig- nant and threw the paper away, saying he could remember. When the time came for Guild to speak the chairman arose and said; Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow-ReL publicans, this is Col Guild Curtis, who was the first Spanish officer to reach BosA ton "

Bowery statesman, who before that
could scarcely refrain from throwing
inkstands at the witness, but whose
manner now underwent a sudden
change. He truly began to imbibe a
lingering affection for Sinclair.
Sulzer and Lentz want the Demo-
Gratis at Kansas City to adopt a plank

ing out of the United States soldiers

naturally oppose any action that will
personally discredit him. II the sub
ject Is forced upon the convention it

sInciuding Nebraska.

Moderate as is Wyoming's produc-
tion of coal. it is ample to serve as an
object lesson to the $500 miners in
that state. They can see that there
was an increasing demand for Wyom-
ing coal in the year 1s90-92 under the
Republican administration of Presi-
dent Harrison. with a consequent bet
ter employment of labor.
They can also see that the output o;
coal from Wyoming's mines decreased
during the Democratic administration
of President Cleveland. when the min
ers were only working from 1874 to 100
days in the year.
But there were more men at work.
and they were working more days, 242
days in 1898, under the Republican
administration of President Mckinley.
Then the output of the Wyoming coal
mines increased to 4.547, ,733 tons last
year.
Miners will do well to think over
these facts. Next November they will
have to vote either for activity in the
mines. with work nearly all the year
through, or for partial idleness. with
work only for half year. Republican
prosperity has reached the Western
mines. and it will stay there II we
again elect a Republican president this
year, and Republican representatives
in congress to support him.

This demonstrates that during the
four years during which the admins

Mckinley, the circulating medium OF
the United States has increased s492.-
645,043. which is 23 per cent.
The increase of the circulation OF
gold has also been enormous. On
