Curator Robinson of the museum, after
hearing the Greeks story, recognized the
man named as the principal maker of
the forgeries as one known to him for
similar work in other lines. The man
is now dead. To the credit Of the mu-
scum authorities, they at once decided
on an investigation Of the figurines
themselves, and Mr.. Marshall, who had
called their attention to some of the
evidences of forgery, was called in to
assist Curator Robinson The figurines
were scraped and the forgery at once
revealed.

Just why so many good men and Wo-
men who have been the means of load
ing the modern curriculum with so
many useless things never thought OF
or UNDERSTOOD to inject the lost art Of
politeness into modern school life is
strange and hard to understand. Thirty
years ago children were taught to be
polite in school and out of it, and when
one notes a gray-haired man arising
in a street car to give his seat to a
woman, while a great hulking boy re-
mains seated, he recalls the early teach
ings of long ago and is thankful for
them.

When man gets the spending OF
vast sums of money and has no object
in life except to spend, he is likely to
drift into what may be called bric-a-
brac existence. What this means is
shown by the doings Of Count Boni de
Castellane, who has dropped nearly ST.
100000, largely in bric-a-brac. At one
shop in Paris he spent more than $780,
600 for bric-a- brac; at another he pur-
chased knick-knacks costing 1885, 600.
A great deal Of this crockery and toys
he sold soon after buying it, at a sac
rifice, glad to get rid of it, apparently,
after having had good look at it. The
bric-a-brac fad has it's uses. 1t helps
TO scatter large fortunes that have fall
.en into unworthy hands.

the drifts of the jeanette in 1881 and Of

ed is the extent of Grinnell Land toward

mere Land south Of it and about the
ocean north Of Parry archipelago abso-
lutely nothing is known. Large parts of
the coast Of Baf1in's Land also need ex-

years are likely to add materially to the
geographical knowledge Of the north

ditions on large scale are nearly ready
to start.

The south polar region, where the most
extensive unknown territory is located.

hurts me-"
Never say to your friends that you
are as tired in the morning as at night.
If they happen to be sharp they will
tell you Hoods Sarsaparila cures that
tired feeling.
Do not say, "My face is full of PIN
pies" You are quite likely to be told
by some one, "There's no need of that,
for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures pimples. "
1t is improper and unnecessary to
say, "My health is poor and my blood
is bad.' Hoods Sarsaparlla will give
you good blood, and good health will
follow as natural consequence.

ignoring the location of the proposed
acquisition, content themselves with
Objectionable incidents which attend
proposed annexation. 1t cannot be
deEied that in these alone they find
sufficient ground for the utter condem-
nation ofthe revolutionary project, ior,
even if colonization policy in the far
away Orient were not IN antagonsm
to our American policy, the cxtraordi-
nary proposition involved in the pur-
chase of human beings, along with
their native territory, from an unwiil-
ing nation, coerced by the force of
war, and itself without rightful title,
to be followed up by the forcible and
murderous subsection Of the native
people to our imperial demands, would
be sufficiently startling to arouse the
public mind.
When war was declared against
Spain by Congress, by virtue Of spe-
cial amendment introduced in the Sen
ate by Mr.. Teller, and unanimously
adopted, the United States expressly
disclaimed to the world any purpose
of territorial acquisition and hence
the utter bad faith of exacting in the
treaty which brought the war to a
close, an unwilling concession by
Spain of the Philippine islands. Far
less reprehensible would it have been
to have exacted the territory of Cuba
itself, for that, being on our own con-
tinent, would not have done violence
in it's annexation to our well defined
American policy, and in the holding of
it would not have jeopardized the ex-
istence of the Republic and substituted
Imperialism and Militarism.
The 100000 paid to Spain as
consideration for her quit-claim deed
to US of the Philippines and the Fill
pinos, while it may conform to the
yankee idea of purchase, is open to
the objection that has been we'll raised
that it was price paid for a property
in and dominion over an inferior peo-
pie, incapable of American citizenship
and not desiringit it. The subsection OF
the Fillipinos unwillingly to American
domination is, unquestionably, as so ell
oquently contended in the Senate by
Mr.. Hoar, violation Of the letter and
spirit of our Declaration of Indepen-
dence.
In whatever light the policy of I'm
perialism may be viewed, and by what,
ever name it may be called, its pro-
moter will find themselves always on
the defensive, and their efforts to dis
guise its dangerous character or hide
its un-Americanism from the view of
patriotic Americans, will become an
arduous task. The astute leaders of
the Republican party already begin to
realize this important fact, and hence
their efforts to get away from the
great issue they have made, and to
paramount" the financial question.

CHAPTER III.
SKIRMISH WITH THE ENEMY.

In obedience to the customs of war
in like cases, our pickets got under
arms, and was drawn up in front of the
house, two hours before sunrise. No
enemy. however, made his appearance,
nor did any rumor of an enemy come
in to put us more than previously on
the alert; but we continued to preserve
our ranks as if an army were in our
front, till directions reached us from
rear how we were to act. The column,
it appeared, was in readiness, and would
set out on the first blink of dawn; aud
as our company already occupied the
road by which it was to move, we were
ordered to perform the duty of the
leading division of the advance guard.
1t was yet but the grey of the morn
ing, when Major Brown made his APP
pearance, and we began our march.
The road, like that of yesterday, was
deep and sandy; but our men appeared
refreshed to a degree which could have
hardly been expected, and kept up, as
they had been accustomed to keep up,
when marches were to them of every
days occurrence. ALL too, both Off
GERS and privatcs, seemed to catch adj
Il l,n W,
that there was nothing friendly IN front
of them. 1t was truly 4 journey Of
adventure and discovery; but as the
reader may not be aware of the kind Of
order which the advanced companies
of an army preserve, and the species
of feeling which arimates the individ-
uals who compose these companies
may be strange to him, shall not :,
perhaps, run any hazard of wearying
his patience, if endeavor to make him
acquainted here with both the one and

Charlton 5 company. that to which
| was attached, consisted of a captain,
two subalterns, three sergcants, and
fifty rank and file 1t was thus dis
tributed:- Along the high road moved
first Of all two files of men and a ser
geant, one file about twenty PAGES
ahead Of the other. Parallel with the
most forward file, twenty men spread
themselves, by pairs or flies, each pair
or file keeping about ten PAGES apart
| from the others, on each side of the
way; by which means the woods or
fields were swept on both fianks to the
extent of two hundred PAGES. In rear
| of the last of the two files, but full
twenty PAGES behind, moved the re-
mainder Of the company. About TWEEN
| ty PAGES, again, behind that small sec
ton, the two remaining companies adj
vanced, coming on in compact array,
unless, indeed, some alarm CHANGED to
| be given, when they, too, instantly eN-
tended through the fields. Thus our
movement rcsemblcd rather that of
sportsmen, when, in large bodies, they
surround wool or draw a preserve,
than that of sollicrs, at least soldiers
upon parade; AMI perhaps, if the
truth be spoken, our feelings were as
much akin to those of the first named
class of persons as to those of the last.

Very tired. disheartened and sa";
There was smut on the wheat, and the crop woudnt

And everything turning ont bad.
''Well, Mary said he unto his good wife,
81 know hot whatever We'll do;
I've planted and sowed but the things will not grow

She gave him a smile as she turned from her work
She, too, had her trials and woes;
Don't be 20 sad. John, the lane may soon turn,
And things all be righted, who kn,ws""''
Weeks have passed by and the harvest is o'er,
And the barn running over with grain;
And everything growing so healthful'y now,
For there has been bountful rain.
His face so bonny and bright;
''Oh Mary, our wheat has turned out so well,
And the corn is beautiful sight,
She looked at him then, with a smile on her face,
Now, John, let me say to you this,
If we Will but wait till the harvest is DER,
