A force of ten thousand men
could have reached Pekin long
ago, but as usual where many
nations come together, some
fall out and the others blum
der, and all go to pieces. Thus
it is that history repeats itself,
for in the history of the world
one nation against a bunch is
much better and more likely
to succeed.

Emperor William, in an adj
dress to his troops starting for
China, told them if they closed
with the enemy, to spare no
body and take no prisoners.
This is just as it should be, and
the whole world will agree with
him. The murder of Baron
Won Ketteler by the dowager
Empress was one of the most
heinous crimes of the century,
and quarter should not be given
to the yellow fiends. The re
port that the bloodthirsty Tuan
is killed is not believed. That
he is being sheltered by the
Empress is without question,
he has been her tool to do her
dirty work, and when captured
should meet the same fate as
shown his victims, burned
at the stake over a slow fire.
The acting viceroy at Canton
was requested to send a de-

Marquis Salvazi Razzi, and to
obtain a reply from him con-
corning a matter known to him

impossible, thalt messages were
received from Pekin through
Governor Shan Tung secretly
and he was compelled to refuse.

A live man is like a good
coin, he wears to last.
1t is not possible to offer any
excuse for ingratitude.
The man without friends or
enemies is a monstrosity.
The man who has not been
cheated has a lot to learn.
The wise man is one who
knows he is learning something
every day.
The best cure for laziness is
to starve the laziness out of the
lazy ones.
The fellow that abuses you
can be easily settled with just
forgive and forget him.
Honesty draws large interest
and yields the greatest returns
for the amount invested.
If a man profits by the expe-
rience of others, he will also
surely profit largely by his
own.
When a woman starts down
hill she never minds the road,
but will go the whole way at
one jump.
The man who marries a wo-
man for her good looks, has no
better title to her than the
whole world.
You can find fellows stand
ing on the street corners in
Washington telling heaps OF
things they don't know.
The dead gets lots of praise.
We do not envy them, and we
are just as willing as any one
can be to throw in our share of
the article.
We know lots of people in
this city who are always look
ing for work, and if they should
find it it would shatter their
nervous system.
Women, they say, do not
like to be loved too much, but
we have not that kind of women
in Washington; the climate
does not produce them.
The oily tongued individuals
are safest when locked up in
prison or a good watch placed
upon them. We never knew
one of them who was not dis
honest.
About the greatest nuisance
to come in contact with is a
man who thinks he is well edu.
Gated. A half-learned man can
make a heap of trouble in the
shortest space Of time.
You often hear people say,
"Well, he never injured oil
wronged anybody but himself
he was honest, poor fellow y
That is all pure bosh F; he
wronged himself, that was dis
honest, and he did the same
thing to relatives near to him
and that was another act Of
dishonesty. We do not take
any stock in the old tune, "ht
never wronged anybody bu'
himself" He did, and was al
all-around ass.

Tobacco.

Numerous observations prove that
the use of tobacco is a potent cause Of
disease of the eye. Total blindness
from degeneration Of the optic nerve
has been traced to this cause. Recent
observations point to tobacco and alco-
hol as the great causes Of color blind
ness, and this accounts for the fact
that it is much more common In men
than In women.-Health Culture.

Thepeople of Porto Rico have
spoken, and with no uncertain
sound. Very few American
flags were thrown to the breeze
on the Fourth of July, and it
is likely that it may be many
Fourths before it will be done
1t is claimed, and justly
so, that the people of Porto
Rico have not been treated as
they should have been by the
United States. That the right
of citizenship has been denied
to them, and that under the
Spanish Government they were
in much better condition than
under Old Glory, every word
of which is true, and the
mistake made by the present
Administration which is likely
to return and sting them in the
coming political campaign.
