A dispatch from Chicago says: The Duke
de ARGOS incident arising from the Dewey
invitation has been closed, according TO the
following received by Mayor Harrison frrm
the Spanish minister at Washington:
1t was very kind of you to send the let
ter received this morning, From the first

was no intention whatever of an offense.

Stride. in Recent Years.

The remarkable growth of our exports to
parent when the figures of the present en-
ports are compared with those of few
years ago. For instance, our exports to
Japan in the fiscal year 1893 were but
$135, i94, and in 1899 they were ST. ,264, GSS.
ard seem likely to be $4,000, 900 in the fiscal
year 1919. To China our exports of 1s92
were $@3oo,451, and in the present fiscal
year will be in round terms 49,,
U0n.uJ1. To Hong Kong our ex-
ing $4,2I6,GO2 in 1893 and promise to be
over $s,Upu.tssI in the present fiscal year
I" Australasia the exports of 1893 Were
N.?21.2 2S ana promise to be fully $24.oUo otn
in the present fiscal year To Asiatic Rus
si;t the exports of 1893 were less than a
quarter of q million dollars. but will reach
fully $2,Oh.N1 in the fiscal year about to
end Even more remarkable. however. is
the growth in our exports to the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands. To the Hawaiian
Islands the exports of 1893 were s. ST. .GtI;
in 1889 %9.:nJ,4IO. and in the fiscal year 1869
promise to be fully S12,nOO.OHi: while our
exports TO the Philippines, which in 1893
were but $l3f.3tS, VIII in the present year
exceed S2*h.TO. Considering our exports
to Asia and Occa9ia combined the total
for the fiscal year 1893 is ST ,421 Sd for
1889 $1S.235. l1G. and for the fiscal year
abb ut to end will exceed 500 o,0ooo.
The following table shows our exports to
the principal countries of Asia ard Oceania

estimate for 1900 being based upon the ac-
tual figures for the eight months of the

A MIGHTY MAN.

You want to brace up, Mirandy, when
you see me comm round.
I'm q person Of Importance. 1t has
suddenly been found
That, the question Of this government,
an whether it shall last.
Must finally be settled by the way my
vote Is cast.
The orators have said it; they have
said it loud an long;
They said 1t so emphatic that, or
course, they can't be wrong.
So act respectful Mandy; not familiar
like and free,
The country is in peril, an 1t all de-
pends on me.
I am the solid citizen; the man who
who tills the soil.
The waters have grown troubled an
they're hollerin' for oil.
So, Mandy, don't you bother me with
talk about the chores.
An start me out off-hand a-doin' er-
rands out of doors.
An when I'm meditatin,' don't you
give my mind a shock
By rattlin' pans or kettles or a-wind-
in Of the clock.
My Twin here should make you jes' as
proud as you kin be.
The country Is in peril, an 1t all de-
pends on me.

His FREE L1BRARY.-A Main street
secondhand bookstore was the scene
Of an amusing little comedy the other
day. A ragged urchin, who had crept
in unnoticed, pulled a dog-eared book
with a gilded title Of love and adven-
ture from the rack, and, after finger
ing it for moment, became immedi-
ately absorbed in its thrilling contents.
When the bookseller caught sight Of
his impecunious visitor, his first i'm
pulse was to chase the boy away. On
second thought, however he left the
youthful reader to his pleasure. At
length the time for closing came
around. and the old man set about bolt
ing the shutters.
The noise awoke the urchin from his
dream. He lingeringly closed the book
and, sliding up to the proprietor, asked
with all the assurance Of his gutter
training, Say, mister, what time dyer
open up morrer?"-Hartford Times.

THE TUNE THE Cow DIED OF.-Iu
Scotland and the North Of Ireland and
in some parts Of our own country, the
phrase, the tune the old cow died off,
is common in the mouths of the people.
The saying originated in this old song:
There was an old man, and he had an
old cow,
And he had nothing to giver her;
So he took out his fiddle and played
her tune
Consider, good cow, consider;
This Is no time Of the year for the
grass to grow
Consider, good cow, consider;
The old COW died Of hunger, and
when any grotesquely melancholy tune
or song Is uttered, the North Country
people say, THAT is the tune the cow
died of."-New York Advocate.

WHY He WOULD NOT DO.

The carefully reared young man had
left his native village and gone to the
city to find situation and a career.
His acquaintance was small, and be-
cause Of that he simply went about
from place to place seeking whatever
Fate might throw in his way. He want
ed to get into a wholesale grocery
house, and Of course he only visited
houses in that line. He was almost
rudely turned away from the first two
or three places; but finally found one
where the proprietor received him with
courtesy. He stated his case briefly
and clearly as he had read in guide
book to young men starting out in life,
and the merchant looked him over.
"Um." he said. thoughtfully. "you
have had no experience in this pusi-
ness"
mo, SIR" responded the applicant,
but want to learn it,
Eyes, see. Do you chew tobacco?"
"No, sir"
DO you smoker"
"No, SIR"
DO you play poker?
mo, SIR
DO you bet on the races?"
"No, sir"
do you drink?"
"No, sir"
do you run around at night?"
mo, SIR"
"Um-er," hesltated the merchant"
and you have no experience in this bus
iness."
mo, sir; but. as I said, want very
much to learn It,"
"I'm sorry" said the merchant, shak-
ing his head, "but I'm afraid you wont
do. You see, your early education has
been neglected, and you are handi-
capped now with so much to learn that
the Lord only knows when the business
would have chance. Stay in town a
year, and then come in and see me.
Good morning."

LOVE BY MAIL.

Returning tourists from Paris have
brought information that explains why
Mademoiselle Georgetta Dossman, for
mer teacher Of French in the Pennsyl-
vania college for Women, Is still Mad
emoiselle Georgetta Dossman.
When she left Pittsburg not long
since it was with the expectation of be-
coming madame, the wife Of a French
man, who could pen the most beautiful
phrases of love-.
The marriage will not come to pass,
and the man who had been let into the
preliminaries Of the secret wondered
greatly until now.
Two or three years ago, while read
ing a French periodical Mademoiselle
Dossman was quite incensed over an
article that did not meet her views.
She wrote fiery letter to the editor
in-chief and posted 1t off to Paris.
The editor wrote in return a few brief
words and told his correspondent that
he had turned her communication over
to the member Of the staff who had
penned the article in question.
~
came from the graceful pen Of the op-
ponent. Mademoiselle replied. The
journalist speeded an answer. The
letters breathed war. These were
shown to friends and interest was
aroused.
instructor grew more reticent over her
French mail. The letters came; but
the contents were not revealed. It be-
gan to be rumored that mademoiselle
had a sweetheart in Paris, the un-
known newspaper correspondent.
Finally mademoiselle went to Paris,
accompanied by her brother. She was
to be married. If all went well and the
unknown met her expectations. Since
then no hint Of matrimony has been
breathed in the letters Of the little
teacher.
Instead Of wedding cards a few
special friends received circulars not
ing the opening of pension by Mad
emoiselle Dossman in the suburbs of
Paris for the exposition period. Two
members Of the Young Women's
Christian association looked up the 10
cation and enrolled as guests during
their recent sojourn in Paris.
"Mademoiselle, what has happened
is the romance OFF," inquired one of
these in a curious whisper as she part
ed from her two weeks ago.
Mademoiselle gave a shrug, waved
aside her questioner and tragically
whispered:
"Off, oui; Je found him as deaf as ze
post!"
