Kansas City Policeman Too Big Hearted
to Kill Him.
A boy about ten years old went to
the central police station in Kansas
Ciyt, Kan, one day last week, leading
a fine shepherd dog by short piece of
rope tied to his collar. The boys face
was red and swollen and he was cry
ing. well, well, well, what's the mat

STOPPING down and looking into the
boys face. 1t seemed like long time
before he could stop crying. please,
sir" he sobbcd, my mother is too
poor to pay for license for Shep, and
] brought him here to have you kill
him." Then he broke out with an
other wall that was heard all through
the city building. Shep stood there
mute and motionless, looking up into
the face of his young master. A po-
lceman took out his handkerchief to
blow his nose and the desk sergeant
went out into the hall, absent-minded-
ly WnlStlIIlS tune "HlCn Hopouy ever
heard before, while the captain re-
membered that he must telephone
somebody. Then Chief Mcfarland led
the boy to the door, and, patting him
on the head, said kindly: There, lit

home with your dog. | wouldn't kill
q dog like Shep for q thousand dol

were tears of joy now. He bounded
out into the street and ran off towards
his home with Shep prancing along
and jumping up and trying to kiss the
BOYS face. 1t was hard to tell which
was the happiest, the boy, or the dog,

II is not true.
"If'' we took into account ONLY the
goods exported and the goods import
ed, and eff" we received cash for the
excess exported, we might properly
say the balance of trade was in our
favor, and this half-told story is what
the Republican editors, orators and
snell-binders are peddling for the
truth, when in reality it presents an
entirely false conclusion, for We do
NOT get cash for the surplus Of ex-
ports, but the account is balanced with
interest coupons which represent
nothing" and is only diplomatic
varnish for the unpalatable truth that
we have tied our financial system to
the wheels of Rothschilds' golden
chariot and are paying interest" for
the use of his gold or credit, when
we should have established system
independent of him, and then, when
he became hungry and wanted our
foodstuffs, he would have had to pay
"our" price, which we could have fixed
for ourselves if we owed no foreign
debts.

A discharged soldier recently re-
turned from the Philippines tells a tale
Of a shirt which is too good to be lost.
His company was returning from a
long and tiresome scouting trip, in
which most of the men had lost the
greater part of their wearing apparel,
when he saw on a clothes line in the
ground Of residence adjoining big
stone church two very good shirts
hung out to dry. AS he had at the
time only half shirt to his back, he
proceeded to help himself to a whole
one, whereupon woman came out of
the house and said to him, in passable
English, "You will pay for that on
the Judgment Day." Madam" he re-
Piled, "if you give such long credit
will take both Shirts" which he pro-
ceeded to do.

A German engineer has hit upon
very happy use for the phonograph
instead Of guide at exhibitions. The
new device will be used for the first
time at the automobile exhibition at
Berlin; any visitor to the exhibition
will need but to call the attendant,
who will put the roller containing the
description Of the exhibit in question
into the phonograph, and he will then
be able to learn, "by word of ma
chine" all the details of the object
he Is desirous Of enquiring into. The
apparatus will not repeat a long, mo-
notonous harangue such as one is ac-
customed to hearing from guides at
exhibitions and in cathedrals; the vis-
itor can break off his conversation
with his unseen guide at will, and
have any remark repeated as often as
he likes.

400 pounds, can travel twelve to four
teen days without water, going four
teen miles a day. Camels are fit to
work at five years old, but their
strength begins to decline at twenty
five, although they live usually until
forty. They are often fattened at thir-

The Columbia River canneries have
been making experiments in the can
ming of shad. and have been so sue
oessful in their efforts that new fish,
ing industry may be developed in the
Northwest. The flavor of the shad is
universally recognized as delicious,
and the only objection to this fish is
the many small bones that exist in it.
This objection is entirely done away
with in the canned product, as the ex-
treme heat to which the can is sub
jected disintegrates the bones, and

At the behest Of Great Britain.
President Mckinley has hauled down
the American flag from a strip OF
Alaskan territory twenty miles Wido
and one hundred miles long.
In this strip of American territory
purchased from Russia thirty-three
years ago, there are American mines
and American miners, American farm
ers, American sawmills and American
lumber camps. They have all been
turned over to England, lock, stock
and barrel, as a gift by his imperial
majesty, the Republican president.
Let us see how much of gift 1t
was. The very territory turned over
to England by Mckinley was leased
| from Russia for a term of twenty
years by the Hudson Bay Company OF
Canada, long previous to the purchase
Of Alaska by the United States. In
the face of this contract and fifty
years later, William Mckinley pre-
sents to Great Britain the land which
that kingdom had previously leased
from Russia.
We are not surprised at McKinley's s
action 1t is in line with his policy
in other directions. We simply desire
| to lay the matter before the people
| his subjects-in it's true light.
We would also commend to the
earnest attentions Of all true-minded
Americans, Of whatever party, race or
color, the scrupulous manner in which
President Mckinley upholds the plat
| form of his party.
This platform says:
I'VE reassert the Monroe doctrine In
| its full extent and we reafirm the
right Of the United States to give the
doctrine effect by responding to the
appeals of any American state for
friendly Intervention in case of Euro
pean encroachment. We have not in
terfered and shall not interfere with
the existing possessions Of any Euro
pean power in this hemisphere, but
those possessions must not, on any
pretext, be extended. We hopefully
look forward to the eventual with
drawal of the European power from
ic tn hn MI n tt,
union of all of the Englishspeaking
part of the continent by the free con-
! sent of it's inhabitants.
With this platform in his mind, but
not in his heart, President Mckinley
violated every word of it by his gift of
American territory to England.
Both England and Canada had rec
ognized the Russian boundary be-
tween Canada and Alaska for 40 years
before the purchase Of the territory by
the United States. England now
claims what we bought from Russia,
and our patriotic president hauls
down our flag and evacuates without a
word.
There is no eQuivocation about the
treaty between England and Russia,
or that between England and the
United States. Each plainly and eX-
plicitly states that "the boundary shall
follow the windings of the coast"
This agreement was lived up to for
80 years by England-until the access
sion Of Mckinley.
What may we expect next? The
cession of counties along the ST. Law
renee. or slice of Montana or Dako-
ia? OF what value is the American
flag without an American backbone in
the white house to uphold it?
