A Dinner of Mule and Axle Grease.

A Dinner of Mule and Axle Grease,
The following is an incident of the
siege of Ladysmith narrated by Sir
William MacCormac: IAN officer re-
lated an incident which win serve to
illustrate the lengths to which things
had gone as regards food. A shell fell
into the mule lines one afternoon, kill
ing one mule. In spite of other shells
following the first one in rapid success
sion, SO as to make occupation of the
spot very dangerous, the men In the
vicinity made a rush at the mule like
SO many ravenous creatures, cutting off
the flesh with their clasp knives In
great chunks. They then in safer quar-
tiers built fires, toasted the meat and
swallowed 1t at once. To make them
more palatable the men fried their bis
cults In the axle grease provided for
the carts. The want Of fatty foods
and vegetables was greatly felt. In
spite of all their hardships nobody ever
thought of giving in. The general in
CURED as to how many horses in the
camp could carry their riders six miles,
in view of sortie being made, and the
answer came back that only IL horses
in the whole camp could do it."-Lon-

TurtIes Trained 70 Firbt.

You want to go to China to see anil
NAL fighting reduced to a science.
There are hundreds of young men in
the larger cities there who make Iiv-
ing by training animals to fight and In
exhibiting their savage qualities to In
terested audiences. They catch both
mud and swapping turtles. feed them
on raw meat and some sort of drug
that warns them up, and at the end of
six months they become savage enough
to fight tiger. The jaws and teeth
are filed and sandpapered until the
mouth becomes a dangerous thing to
go near. The turtle is tantalized each
day with piece of wood or bunch of
cotton until its temper reaches a white
heat. When confronted with another
turtle that has been trained and badg
cred in the same way, they go for each
other with distended jaws, and there is
sure to be fight to finish.
They have each been starved for
week. Each is handled by his owner,
who has teased it to the killing point.
The two turtles are then placed in
small ring, and only one comes out
alive. The fight lasts from one to ten
hours, and death generally comes only
when one of them has secured a throat
hold on his doomed agonist.-Cleve-

Grabs In Oysters,

s'The demand for that little southern
delicacy, the oyster crab, is always
larger than the supply, and have all
l can do to obtain the 80 or 60 gallons
which are daily required for fiavoring

ing hotels, restaurants and clubs OF

in New York to Washington Star

contain the little dainties, so l am
obliged to buy them from the oyster
shuckers along the York, Rappahan-
mock and other southern rivers. The

being therefore a benefit instead of q

the oysters kindness in protecting it
against its enemies the little crab

CHANGES OF MIND.

That was delicate distinction which
President Hyde drew between President
Mckinley and William Gladstone.
"Gladstone changed his nind,'' he said
mckinley allowed his mind to be
changed for him." The distinction
seems to be justified. no
"a wise man changes his mind some
times, fool never" says the proverb,
and the humorist has paraphrased it
into: .'Some men never change their
minds for the same reason that penny
is never changed" 1t is the part of a
wise man to change his mind when ar
gument convinces him of the taliacy Of
his former mental position.
President Mckinley in his message to
Congress declared: 1.-The markets of the
United States should be opened to Porto
Rico's products. Our plain duty is to
abolish all customs tariffs between the
United States and Porto Rico and give
her products free access to our mark
ets."
The Presid ent Of the United States
has better facilities for canvassing an
American policy than any other person
in the land. ltis not exorbitant to de-
mand reasonable diligence and care in
the canvass of q public policy which is
deliberately and thoughtfully recon-
mended to nation in an important
document like a Presidents message.
There is every indication, that such care
was taken and that the rec .mmenda-
ton ef ifee. txade faE I.atto Rico.
Now. instead Of insisting on his rec
ommendation being carried out, instead
of exercising the privilege Of standing
up for what he believes to be just, Pres
ident Mckinley allows his mind to bt
changed for him by the lobby Of thu
sugar and tobacco interests of the main
land of the United States. Had new de
yelopments arisen, had new argument
been advanced, the change Of mint
might have been justified. There hav'
been NO new Developments and no new
arguments. The situation is precisel.
as it was when the Presidents messag'
was written, except that certain bust

'skF .f
The Philadelphia Press observes that
..campaign issues are piling upon the
democracy thick and fast !" This is
true, and President McKinley's home
administration and. his conduct Of for
eien affairs are furnishing most of them..
These new issues promise to unite the
democratic party as it has not been
welded together since 1892. That they
have divided the republican party the
news Of the day bears ample witness.
Not one Of these issues now conceded to
be Of such Importance was before the
people in 1895. They will be voted on
next fall as paramount questions Of the
day. No one pretends these new Issues
have not strengthened the democracy
and scorrespondingly weakened the re.
publicans. The only question Is will
they prove potentialin driving Mckin.
leyism out Of the government? That
cannot be foretold until q certain No.

why WE STILL PAY WAR TAKES.

Because the republican party desires
to give $50, 900 900 of the peoples mon
ey which has been collected in taxes to
the national banks as premiums on
bonds.
Because the republican party wants to
give $4,000, 600 year to the Hanna.
Payne subsidy grabbers.
Because the republican party wants to
give $4 ,OOO, 600 year for 20 years to a
private caole company to transmit a
few government messages daily to the
Philippines.
Because the republican party has 9th
er schemes quite as good as these by
which the money of the Taxpayers
may be drained into the pockets of the
few.
For this reason the republican leaders
do not propose to declare that the
country is at peace and war taxes
should cease until they are forced to dc
so. ss ~
In the meantime the life of each sold
ier lost in the Philippines is worth
thousands Of dollars to them in the
Ifurtherance Of their grabs and subsidies
Until pockets Of illimitable cspaclt,
are filed the burden on the necks'of thu
people will not be raised.

and all know it, as do the common peo-
