Porto Rhcan money went out of circu-
iallon as a legal tender last Wednesday.
The conversion act provided that Porto
Rican pesos should be redeemed at 90
cents in American money per peso. 1t is
said that the establishing of the Amer
lean standard is working great hardships
upon many people, especially those who
work for wages. since there appears 10
be concerted movement on the part OF
merchants. landlords and others to main
tain prices under the gold standard. In
other words. they are now charging dol
lar for whatever a peso was formerly the
price. Rents that were formerly twenty
Eve pesos are now $40. notwithstandip 6
the dollar is worth 40 cents more than
the peso. This matter will. of course, be
adjusted eventually, but is likely that
there will be great deal OF dissstisfac-
tion. and much sharp practice by money
changers before the settlement has been
perfected.

Kept Faith with Their Lives.

The Montana Herald tells the story of
poor sheep herder, who, during the biz
card last winter, had charge of a large
flock of sheep belonging to an English
syndicate.
During the whole night he faced the fury
of the storm striving vainly to bring the
sheep into the fold. Toward morning he
came back to his tent and wrote a note to
his employers, stating that he was almost
exhausted, but would make enc more effort
TO save the flock, as it was his duty to do
The next day he was found half-buried
In the snow, dead One of his dogs lay
beside him, guarding the body; the other
had persisted with the sheep.
A cattle raiser on the Gulf of Mexico
tells a similar story of an Acadian herder
whom he employed.
Joe was on guard one night when the
herd, consisting of several thousands Of
cattle, took fright at some unusual sound,
and stampeded toward a bayou opening
into the gulf. 1t was low tide and the ba-
you was narrow but Joe knew that if the
herd once entered il they would trample
each other to death. He was a large,
powerfully built man. Running before
them, he flung himself into the ditch and
faced them, discharging his pistol In their
faces.
The water reached his knees; the terri
fed beasts, urged by the furious herd be-
hind pressed on him. Again and again he
fell, and struggled up to renew the des-
perate fight. AT any moment he might
have reached the shore and saved himself.
After two hours help came. The herd was
driven back, but Joe was carried home to
die
Scarcely a week passes which does not
offer it's record of some fai4ful servant
an enofnepr a. shin'S cantain or even a
common sailor-who gives his life to full
fill the duty which he has been paid to
perform; to keep his word in the face OF
death.
In our applause for the soldier who dies
for his country or his home, let us not
overlook these other heroes who are as
faithful and brave as he.

The Red Badge "In Hook"

Hamlin Garland in sketch of Stephen
Crane in the Saturday Evening Post says:
when Crane came next day he brought
the first part of war story which was at
that time without a name. Such mastery
of details of war was sufficiently startling
in a youth of q who had never smeled
any more carnage than firecracker holds,
but the seeing was so keen, the phases so
graphic, so fresh so newly coined, that

so Crane went away jeyously and
brought the last half Of The. Red Badge

He told us that the coming of that story

II had given him a letter to syndicate

the manuscript of his war novel. In a let
ter written in November, 1894. he makes
sad mention of his lack of success:
My Dear Friend: So much of my row

durance that sometimes l wear the ap-
pearance of having forgotten my best

THE FEVER AT TAMPA,

No one Of course can say what the out
come of the fever which has appeared at
Tampa will be-whether It will become
epidemic or will disappear after there
have been few cases-but, as yet, there
is nothing very alarming in the situation
there. The Florida health officer has the
reputation OF being a very efficient Official
and 1t Is certain that every effort will be
made 10 prevent an epidemic and to con-
fine the disease 10 Tampa
Quarantine has been established against
Tampa by two or three cities, and other
cities are waiting for further develop
ments. If the impression gets abroad that
Tampa is in for an epidemic of yellow
fever every place In which there exists
any apprehension of the disease will quar-
antine against her
OF the necessity for a general quaran-
tine law administered by some central au-
thority there is no doubt. If only two or
three cases of yellow fever should appear
within the next few weeks in widely sep
arated places in the Southern states the
commerce of the entire South would be
practically tied up by quarantine regu-
lations. 1t would be impossible for the
transportation lines to move their cars in
any direction.
1t will be known within a week or two
whether or not the fever at Tampa is
likely TO become epidemic. There is no
panic there The people do not seem to
have any apprehension OF an epidemic. II
the sanitary conditions are good it may
be that The efforts to stamp out the dis
ease will be successful

Daniel did as he was bid, while his COM

the pung sank, and l found myself up to
the armpits in the icy water. The horse
