large cities throughout the country, show
ing the needs for this money in making
changes. Progress finds many methods
of improvement, but for half a century
past, in spite of many limitations, nothing
has arisen to equal Hostetter's Stomach

"The bill for the flowers" answered

"WelI, L should say not" answered
the dark skinned stranger. "They were
ordered from my store by telephone.
You got the flowers, and I want my

Flick protested, but in vain, and was

When this government shows itself
capable of creating and maintaining
true Christian civilization within it's
own states and territories; when it
removes the blackened stakes and
dangling nOOses of mobs and lynch
law; when it sends honest men to
make its laws, so that modern
Diogenes might find one or two with
the aid of an Edison arc ight-then
America may sympathize with their
brothers who are being shot down on
the battle fields for what America
gained one hundred and eleven years
ago after seven-year struggle.
Then America need not send her
armies and ships OF war to subject a
people to flag that should be the
emblem of liberty, justice and the
nObleSt government on earth. 1t would
not require its deadly engines of war
to spread its protecting folds from the
farthermOst parts of the North Ameri-
can continent to the limits of South
America. All men crave liberty. ius-
tice and happiness on this old earth.
The nation or flag that gives that to
mankind, can rule the world and count
as its subjects millions of men who are
groaning under oppression of corrupt
and tyrannlcal governments.
America stands today hesitating be-
tween the broad road that tyrants and

Paid for His Flowers.

Alderman Henry Flick of the Seventh
ward, made speech at the West
Twelfth street Turner hall Saturday
evening, and from the demonstrations
after he had finished the alderman was
led to believe that he was an orator
second to none. The crowd vigorously
applauded everything he said, and as
he was bowling his thanks a little dark
skinned man with long black whiskers
hurried to the platform, and amid a
second outburst of handclapping pre-
sented him with handsome bouquet
OF flowers.
Leaving the platform the gallant
city father mingled with his audience.

Murphy On His Honeymoon.

AS you we'll remember, Murphy mar
ried the girl that had lost my heart
and head to in st. Augustine, after he
had paved the way for me by dispos-
ing of the duke.
Before l had recovered from the
shock, he and his wife had left on their
honeymoon, and so | was given a
chance to regain my wonted cheerful
spirit before it became necessary for
me to congratulate them.
Immediately after their marriage
they left for Washington, d. G., the
city which all brides must visit during
the billing and cooling period. They
registered at Wizards and here Muir
ply made his first break. He regis
tered simply as "Francis Patrick Muir
ply, St. Augustine" and was assigned
to room; his wife was in the ladies
parlor. He got halfway to the elevator
when he remembered. "By the bones
of st. Patrick" he said, "I forgot her."
and rushed back to the desk. ''Sure,
I've got wife," he said to the clerk
and grabbed the pen, making the
necessary change on the register.
"Oh, then you want the bridal SUITE"
said the clerk smiling.
"You bet," said Murphy, "nothing is
too good for the Irish"
The next day they visited the capitol
and of course Murphy had to get into
trouble again. 1t was so plain that
Murphy was a bridegroom that every.
one smiled and turned to look at them
and really he and "Queen" made a
handsome couple.
There happened to be couple of
Chinese attaches at the capitol and as
they passed Murphy they laughed and
said something in their own language
which Murphy thought was about him.
Now Murphy hates the Chinese only a
little less than he does the English
government and he fired up at once.
"Who are you laughing at you yellow
heather ?" he said, "by the shades of
my ancestors I'd make ye think ye was
in purgatory for two CENTS"
One of the ever present guards
fastened up and trouble was averted.
The next day Murphy and his bride
went to White House reception and
met the president. "Sure," said Muir
ply, "it's proud I am to meet you.
This is my wife, Mr.. President, and
sweeter girl never took your hand"
"Queen" blushed, the president laughed,
and Murphy beamed all around.
They stayed in Washington a week
and then left for Niagara Falls, that
Mecca of newly married couples. Here
Murphy made breaks too numerous to
mention until his wife said it was time
to 60 home and settle down. She has
told me since that it was jolly fun and
that her honeymoon was one continual
round of laughter at Murphy's breaks.
"But a better man never lived" she
added, "he is just simply perfect"
which goes to show that Murphy has
her whole heart and ought to thank me
all the days of his life for bringing
them together. - KIsMIT.

kind and noble things awkwardly,
quite as often as | have known
cultured people to do and say cruel
things elegantly. The common people
are not to blame for their lack of
polish, while the cultured ones are all
to blame for their lack of kindness;
yet the cultured one is ranked ahead
of the simple one. This is a wrong
condition. Every one sees it, many
deplore it, yet few have the time or
the energy or courage to attempt to
remedy it. They say it always has
been so, and it always will be so.
L imagine that right here someone is
going to say: "Ah yes! but quite often
the man who works is happier than
the man with miliionsp And it is
exactly so. The fact also is the strong
est argument ever advanced against
present social and economical condi-
tions. 1t is not the laboring mans lack
OF dollars, however, which makes him
happier than the rich man; while the
rich mans millions are quite often the
direct cause of his unhappiness. The
thing that makes the working man
happy, or rather contented, is the sub
consciousness of well-doing which
every person has who performs useful
labor.
A child may think that the only
thing required to make it derfectly
happy is stomach full of green apples;
but having got it he awakens to the
sad realization of the fact that it was
not the thing it needed to make it
happy: that in fact it is thoroughly
wretched. And so a man who has
spent his life and energy and nerve
force in a mad race for millions, and
hedged himself about with multitudes
of cares and responsibilities, realizes,
when too late, that he has not secured
the thing which makes him happy.
These are distorted conditions and
by their multitudes of interminglings
and kaleidoscope variations cause more
crime to be committed, directly or in
directly, than probably all the others.

LOOKING BACKWARD.
Written for The Prison Mirror,

W fItten TOT Ine Ff1SOD Mirror.
There are few today who would
! claim that our late war with Spain was
not justified from the cruelty and op-
preston of the Spanish government
upon its subjects in the island of Cuba.
All true Americans were in sympathy
with the semi barbarians of Cuba in
their struggle for independence and
liberty, and many came forward with
arms and money to aid the good cause
But our statesmen and American
representatives stopped their ears with
diplomatic cotton to the cry for help
that the dark-skinned people of Cuba
sent to the great land of liberty, pray
ing for release from Spanish slavery.
But the people heard the cry. Many
left their homes and positions to aid
Cuba long before the American gov
ernment could collect sufficient princi-
pie and manhood among its rulers in
Washington to declare war against the
tyrant power that was exterminating a
race and principle upon our very
borders-a principle which is the very
keystone of our national rights; and
race which, if Christianity counts for
anything, are our brothers. We are all
familiar with the results and the
present consequences of this war.
1t is to the latter that wish to draw
your attention and to endeavor to
show the similarity of our present po-
sition in the Philippines, to the tyrant
Spain in Cuba.
There are few Americans who wear
upon their breasts the badge of vet
| eran, won under the noble Lincoln, and
| who witnessed the chains of slavery
broken from the limbs of the COL
ored man, who ever expected this
grand nation to turn SLAYER again. I
respect the South, because it had no
representative at the Paris auction
block deal, where twenty million dol
lars was the price stipulated by
tyrant slave driver for eight millions
of his unruly subjects, with their land
| and possessions as gratuity.
Only forty years ago an able bodied
black man was worth from five hun
dred to thousand dollars in the
southern slave markets. Today, owing
to the glutted condition of the labor
markets, we can only afford to pay two
dollars and fifty cents for a foreign
article like Spain has to sell.
Well may our money kings applaud
the diplomatic shrewdness of our gold
chasers in getting such a job lot of
humanity so cheap; and highly may we
appraise our American civilization and
Christianity when we can get in OK.

race of people who fought for liberty

humanity, like HOar, Mason, Clark
Pettigrew, traitors, because they don't
place gold first in order of value. and
mankind last.
Look at the people of Cuba today.
Are they free and Independent? No!
There never was in history shylock
who let his lingering grasp loosen from
his guivering prey with more re
luctance than is shown by the admin
istration in Washington In keeping it's
pledge and in releasing Cuba.
Two years ago American newspapers
charged Weyler, the Spanish general,
with being a monster, d slayer of
women and children, because he tried
to break the rebellion in Cuba and
make its dusky inhabitants bow down
to the yoke of Spain.
Today America has changed places
with Spain. Our American standard
is raised far from our shores to subject
reluctant people to pay tribute and
call our political demigods their ruler.
We are exposing the flower of Ameri-
can manhood in far-off cline to dis
ease, death and decentralization, in a
slave hunt, just to add to the bulk of
treasure In our strong box; to create a
few more millionaires; to poise as
models to our rising generation; to
exemplify American enterprise, minus
honesty and humanity.
And yet there are statesmen who
have the presumption to stand before
an intelligent audience and tell them
''It is the march of civilization" The
American Indian has been in this
march and there amt enough of them
left to populate fair sized American
village, while only a century ago they
owned and peopled the country where
many of our cities stand today.
We may call it the march of civiliza-
tion and Christianity today, but a few
years ago we called it by another name
when Gen. Weyler was the missionary
of Spain, and the Cubans were the
heather, instead of the Philippines.
Any American who knows enough to
come in out of the wet can tell you
there is no law, precedent or justice, in
the administration taking or purchas-
ing people and their possessions
without the consent of that people.
Our Republic is founded upon the
principles declared in the Declaration
of Independence, and our civilization
is based upon the laws of Christianity.
Neither advocates or justifes the act
of depriving people of their own gov
ernment or liberty; and when this gov.
ernment, through its representatives,
extends the glad hand of sympathy to
a sturdy and gallant army of Beers
who are making grand and good fight
for their God-given rights, cannot
but think of that verse in scripture
wherein the Devine teacher says:
