just the kind of inspiration they want.
They are young men who are ambitious

until they can see themselves sweeping

all the martial spirit in them. They

TOLD OVER A WAR TROPHY.
Pubic Interest Shown in Spanish Gun

Pubic Interest Shown in Spanish Gun
al Lincoln Park, Chicago.
Ihe Spanish trophy gun, the Maria
Teresa, in Lincoln Park, Chicago, con-
tinues to be an attraction to citizens
and strangers. The gun itself is merely
an ordinary modern engine OF war,
such as are employed in warship arma-
ment, but the association of the Maria
Teresa with the naval battle off Santi-
ago in July, 1885, and its mute story
Of the prowess and skill of the Amer
lean navy gives the gun a sort of pres
tige which it otherwise would not have
And not only that but it tells for itself
and for Spain that Spanish ordnance
is far from being medieval in pattern,
strength or rOjectile-throwing power.
In fact, this particular gun and its
mounting and equipment compares fa-
vorably with the latest improved heavy
artillery of the nations.
! But it is not so much the gun itself
rs the crowds that gather about it that
interests the observer of men and
things, says the Chicago Chronicle. 1t
is the variety of facial expressions
which the monster cannon causes that
makes the study. 1t seems TO be mans
nature to enjoy whatever stirs his mar
tial spirit. and Maria Teresa exerts Il
powerful influence in that direction and
also in refreshing the memory of events
of war that transpired long ago.
1t is quite common to see two or
three gray-haired men get into a con-
versation about the big gun, when one
will recite an incident of the civil war
in which heavy ordnance played n CON
Spicuous part. Then another remem-
bers incidents of his soldier days, and
then almost unconsciously they move
together slowly to seat under near
by tree and there fight their wars over
again, each recountlng his experiences.
hair-breadth escapes and final return to
the pursuits of peace. 1t was this big
gun that revived their memories and
started the veterans to the shade of Il
tree. That they were unacquainted be-
fore this was no matter, for they were
bound by ties of comradeship, and the
first connection of the great cannon
with events of Il third of a century ago
was enough. No formal introduction
was needed. nor did it matter in the
least if one. had worn the blue and the
other the gray. 1t was the comrade-
shin which battlefields create and it
needed only this lone trophy gun to
start its fires aglOw.
! Perhaps the most interesting visitors
of the big gun are children. II Is no.

A One-Man Road.

A Washington man who put in ten
years of soldering in the regular army
of the United States was recently an
pointed Il captain and assistant adju-
tant-general in the volunteer service,
and he is now attached to the staff of
Gen. Miles. He is a man of ability and
great unpretentiousness.
A few days before he donned his uni-
form he went over to Fort MciIenry,
Baltimore, on official business. \ War
Department clerk went along with him.
When the two men arrived at Fort Nc
Henry, the new captain pointed to Il
long shell road that runs through the
post.

ticed that they feel as though they

dreadful, and, the four mortars hard
by, each weighing more than 1900
pounds and capable of throwing shell
of more than 1000 pounds weight, only
increases the awe of the youngsters.
Children nearly always talk in low
voice while there and move about in
pairs or in groups. They seem to catch
the meaning of the gun and mortars and
what they were made for. This can

A Washington police justice recently
dismissed Il charge OF profanity lodged
against man who swore at street
car conductor. The learned judge held
that, although there was an ordinance
against profanity, in this case the prov
ocation was great and therefore the Of
fense was eXcusable. Nevertheless,
profanity is never eXcusable. 1t may
not he unlawful. In the view of many
worthy peop,e II may not he immoral

of good manners, good taste and a
proper sense OF Sclf-respect cannot be

larry of man Is n reelection of his real
self. BY his speech ye shall know him.
The old saying, "in vino veritas," Is
terribly true. When gentleman takes
100 much wine he still speaks like n
gentleman. When a cad Is in his cups
he will talk like cad, though In his
