Az an illustration Of his personal indiherence

then he discovered HIM sitting on box under a

soon as Major Noble appeared, he shouted LOOK

He moved up and down thelneof sklrmishers

talfgure was source of inspiration to tne men.
He met his death in the discharge OF what was
and what he deemed his duty to his country and
even to the insurgents of the Philippines No one
felt more keenly and sensitively the encourage
ment gwen to the Filipinos by lot of American
erapnies, who have by their growlings and sympa'
tbies practically aided and kept alive rebellion
that otherwise would have been crushed Out many
months ago. He felt and said that, if death should
occur to him in the defence of the flag in the 49,
lands. it would be largely due to these misguided
and misinformed people in the United States, who
were sending infammatory tracts and literature
to the instructors and that thus the war was need

at home.
What stands out in the character OF this great

1900 AND WHAT 1T MEANS.

The year 1900 is successor to one OF the most
prosperous years in American history,
II will be remembered that during the cam
paien OF 1896 the prediction by Bryan, oft repeat
ed suggested disaster to every American interest,",
IL Republican success was assured; that the gold
standard was the enemy Of the human race, the
bane of all civilization Soenergetically was this
view urged that many voters deposited their bal
lots with some doubt as to the final result
But these dire predictions proved unfounded
and as deceptive as the Democratic platform
AS soon as the returns Of the election of chat
year assured the country Of Mckinley's election,
the shadows of the preceding years OF Industrial
inactivity began to disappear. Inc mills that hao
been idle began to be retitted and prepared Tor
work, the dinner bucket was taken down from its
place on the wall and secured for immediate use
all the various implements, machinery, appliances
of labor, manufacture and enterprise were set in
motion preparatory for the greatest activity of the
century, culminatngi in the highest state of pros
parity with the closing of the last year.
So that the year Just opening has rapid pace
to keep should it hold its proper place in this
material expansion
Whit comes also another campaign, wherein
to some extent the same issues are involved, or will
be forced as those supposed to have been settled
when Bryans theories and vageries about matters
of finance were disapprovedby a popular majority
apparently Overwhelming. To these may be added
the views of the anti expansion grannies and those
who mouth against what they are pleased to term
imperialism and some trimming expressions re-
lating to trusts and speculative financial com
binations
But the voter, wherever the opportunity was
offered in 1899, gave approval to the administra
TONS policy in relation to the Philippines, thus to
that extent disarming Bryanists of that weapon.
When attention is directed to trusts and like
capital combines it is found that the Presidents
message commits the Republican party to an
tagonism or restraint against these with aview Of
shielding aud defending the people from their
greed and grasp. This the Republican party will
undertake and as in all other respects the people
have the confidence to believe that popular inter-
ests are in safe hands when assumed by it.
So that withalt may be expected that 1900
will be active both materially and politically with
both Mckinley and Bryan, the UNANIMOUS choice of
their respective parties for the high and important
position otPresideut.

HENRY W. LAYTON.

An ancient legend tells Us that one
day as Orpheus. son Of Apollo and the
muse Calliope. was walking by the sea,
trilling IN soft cadence n song taught
him by the celebrated teacher Limos.
he was attracted by the sound Of sweet
music. which seemed but the echo Of
his own glorious voice. He walked
along, singing. and the sound ap-
preached, as II TO meet him, till finally
II sang at his very feet.
Glancing down, he saw the shell Of a
turtle, which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the recedlng waves. The little thing
had died and dried up 50 that only the
sinews, shriveled to strings, and the
shell remained. The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol.
low shell, and the wind. as II listed,
touched the strings, causing them to
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet. sad tones.
Enchanted, he bore bis treasure home
and from 1t fashioned the vlol shell,
with which he ever after accompanied
his voice, and the nymph Eurydice, en-.
chanted by its magic. became his bride.

II was called one day to a certain
hotel to give chlorOform to young

sician. The patient, as It developed
on my arrival, had been married only a
few days before and was in the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having
her husband present ar the operation.
However, he insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but mo-
ticed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied.
The operation, as I said before, was
trihing. She tCon the chloroform easily
and ali went well until she was just
regaining consciousness, when she
opened her mouth, and out fell set OF
false teeth. She had said nothing about
that detail, and the truth was that she
had hoped, poor woman, TO pass
through the ordeal without the fact OF
her wearing such things being known
to her husband.
But the effect on that individual
was entirely unexpected. He gave one
Mortified glance and then rushed at the
old surgeon and seized him by the
throat. You infamous scoundrely he
yelled. You have broken my poor dar
