CHAPTER vi.
The Spanish War.

The Spanish-American War.
The following winter the Maine
was sunk by a foreign foe, and over
200 American sailors murdered.
Simon was extremely anxious for us
to lick Spain 'then and there" But
President Mckinley, knowing that we
should not make an accusation without
proof, waited until it was proven that
the Spanish were the perpetrators of
the crime. and until this nation should
be in readiness to settle the difficulty
quickly.
81 never saw the like" said Simon;
show outlandish slow they are up there
in Washington. 1 suppose McKinley's
waitiu' for Hanna, or somebody else. to
tell him to go. I'll bet If Bryan was
President Of the United States Spain
never would have sunk the Maine.
They'd have been afraid to. 1 tell you
II 1 was President of the United States
and another nation sneaked around and
blew up one of our ships, or pitched
onto US. in any way,'Td do the sa,oe as

An Oriental Episode.

"Yes," said Ii Hung Chang, conde-
s%cendingly. "Confucius was u very IA
nous man," \
"And a very good one," said the
satellite, bowling three times.
".And a very wise one," continued
Ii. But there are some smart things
that lie might have said but never
thought Of"
The satellite murmured, "Is 1t posi-
ble!!" He was so embarrassed an ex-
cited that he forgot to bow three times
until Ii hit him with a jeweled bung-
starter, Which he keeps for that pur-
pose.
HE died long before 1 was made an
earl"
Therefore it was quite impossible
for him to remark that I am the Earl
Ii bird who catches the worm; quite
impossiblew
The satellite laughed long and loud,
which shows that jeweled bungstarter
is always a good thing to have around
a palace.-Washington Star.

Il NIight Humiliate Him.

A little story ome from o seaside
village in Normandy, where a we'll
known man of letters is staying in COM
pany with a young writer Of trif1es at
a somewhat primitive hotel. One fine
morning the former addressed the host
as follows: You would oblige me Ivy
making your charges as low as possible
for my young colleague. He is not q
rich man" The landlord, delighted with
the presence in his house of the man Of
renown. promised to have due consider
alton for the purse of his younger
guest. But a few days afterward the
famous author came to him, saying:
by the way. don't let my bill be bigger
than that of my young friend. Il
would humiliate him; boys like that are
SO extremely touchyl'

Eyes. IL they ever do, but they haven't
found them yet. They don't seem to
be In any hurry about 1t, either. They're
drawing biz pay, and they're not anx-
ious to find the feet very quick. I
haven't any faith in them or McKin-
ley, either. but George Dewey is all

Political Simon got very impatient.

Didn't Keep mckinley Buttons.

Up III Wisconsin the other day a trav-
cling salesman walked into u little news
paper store at GAINESVILLE. While get.
ting his paper he looked around him and
noticed a large number of Bryan buttons
for sale, but no Mckinley buttons.
He asked the ~storekeeper il he did not
keep Mckinley buttons for sale, and
was told
mo, l don't keep 'em, 1 sell 'em. They
sell as soon as 1 get 'em. l stocked up
at first with the same number of both.

Walking around in idleness.
Wherever the flags assaulted:
Meeting the foe with an idle might
That never vet has failed.
Lawton, and Liscum, and Logan, too
Capron-the list is long
Went to their death in 'idlcness."
And their "idlcncss" was wrong.
Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
Why should we call the roll?
They idled away in the idle fight
In fights that tried the soul.
walking around in idleness"-
Drawing the leaden hail;
What of the glow of IL nations pride?
Is that but an idle tale?
walking around in idleness.''
Over the Pekin road;
Scorclcd and worn by the calling sun,
Laughing an idle load.
Fighting with idle energy.
Cheering with idle breath
Thinking, with idle love, of home,
And dying an idle death.
Private Smith, with an idle groan,
Gone, to Il home above:
And idle tears mark the idle woe
And the idle mothers love.

There are idle deeds to do.
