There was once n meeting Of an ag'

gentleman on the subject "How TO

which was carefully typewriter, told
the farmers just how to plant and how
TO cultivate in order to have a sure.

The hands of the man VINO made the

After the address was finished an old
man whose knuckles looked like the

WHAT WE OWE TO KING ALFREr

WHAT WE OWE TO KING ALFRED
 It is a thousand years since the
 death of the great Englishman King
 Alfred, in whose humble translations
 we may see the beginnings of English
 literature. Until it has a literature, however unpretending and however artless, a language is not conscious of itself; and it is therefore in no condi- ton to maintain it's supremacy over the dialects that are it's jealous rivals. And it is by it's literature chiefly that a language forever binds together the people who speak it-by literature in which the chara acteristics of these toeo- pie are revealed and preserved and ill which their ideals are declared and passed down from generation to seneI- ation as the most precious heritage Of the race.
 The historian of the English people asserts that what made Alfred great, small as was his sphere of action, was "the moral grandeur of his life. He lived solely for the good of his people, He laid the foundations for a uniform system of law, and he started schools wishing that every freeborn youth who had the means should ''abide at his book till he can understand English writing" He invited scholars from other lands to settle in England; put what most told on English culture was done, not by them. but by the king himself He resolved to throw open

These he translated with his own hand. editing freely, and expanding and contracting. as he saw fit. Do not blame me if any know Latin better than IT. he explained with modest dignity: flor every man must say what he says and must do what he does according to his ability" And Green, from whom this quotation is borrowed, insists that, simple as was his aim, Alfred created English litera- ture"-the English literature which is still alive and sturdy after thousand years, and which is to-day flourishing, not only in Great Britain, where Alfred founded it, but here in the United States, in larger land, the existence of which the good king had no reason ever to surmise.-Brander Matthews, in Harper's Magazine.

fiscal year 1901 will be about s16,000,000, while in 1891 the exports to Spain were $14, ,619 1885, in 1888 $14, ,657, SS4 and in 1883, the one year in which the fifteen mill lion dollar line was exceeded, SIG 931 ,2S7. On the import side the figures of the present fiscal year are largely in excess of those of 1899, though slightly less than those of 1900, which were the lar gest since 1891. The annual imports from Spain into the United States since 1891 have ranged from $3,500, 900 to $6,- 100000, averaging about S4,500,000, while for the present fiscal year they seem likely to exceed $500O,0O0. In the fiscal year 1899, which felt the full effects of the war between the two countries, the exports from the United States to Spain were $9,077sO7; in 1900 they rose to $13,S99, ,6S0. and in the present fiscal year will closely approximate $16,0OO,- i GOO.

4 TRADE REUNION.

Spain may not really love the United
 States yet, but there are no signs that she hates us, and she is evidently will
 ing, if not anxious to extend her busi-
 ness with us. Commercial relations be-
 tween Spain and the United States seem to have been fully restored, and it is not improbable that our exports to that country in the fiscal year 1901 will be greater, with possibly a single exception, than in any preceding year.
 Exports from the United States to Spain in the nine months ending with March, 1901, were valued at $11, ,S79, ,349, against $1O,0S1, ,92O in the corresponding months of last year and $7,091, ,O43 in the corresponding period of the fiscal year 1899. The figures for the year up to this time indicate that the total exports from the United States to Spain in the

CONQUERED AND FoRG1vEN.


 Not long ago Senator Quay, the boss of Pennsylvania, made a touching speech in which he renounced ambition and forgave all his enemies It would not be right to intimate that this noble speech was anything but what it ap- peared to be, but that he can afford to renounce and forgive, at least in a pub lie speech, is indicated by the follow ing statement which has been called forth by one of his recent successes in the Pennsylvania legislature: MT. Quay's power is no longer questioned. That he holds in the hollow of his hand the lawmaking and administrative functions of both city and State is con ceded. He has fought opposition and conquered it. The so-called 'insur- gents" are little more than a memory Christopher Magee is dead; David Mar tin is shorn of nearly all his once great power, and a rich merchant who was out of an active part in political af- fairs.

"A NSAS WANTS MORE WATER.

| Colorado and Kansas are going to
 have an interesting contest in the Su- preme court of the United States over the use of the waters of the Arkansas
 river. This great river rises in the
 Rocky mountains in the State of Coo-
 rado, crosses that State and continues its course for four hundred miles
 through southern Kansas. 1t is an ex-
 tremely important stream to the peo-
 pie of Kansas, especially in the vest
 ern part, where the rainfall is light and
 irrigation is necessary for successful
 farming. The river is known in that
 country as the "Nile of Kansas" and this name sufficiently indicates it's value and importance to the people. Of late years, however the volume of water flowing down the stream has been dim- finishing so rapidly that in Kansas it is feared that it may cease to flow al- together. The reason of this is that ir- rigation is increasing rapidly in Colo rado and the water of the Arkansas river is defected into irrigating ditches. The form of the proposed proceeding by Kansas against Colorado is a curi- ous one. The State of Colorado is not in the irrigation business and does not take any water from the river, but it incorporates irrigation companies, and these corporations do the alleged wrong. The form of the proceeding | will, therefore, be bill to enjoin Colo rado from incorporating any more com panies to draw water from the river.
 None of the New England States is planning to get more water just now

TO PROTECT 1T HUSBANDS.

l Of course wives need protection from
 the antics of bad husbands. This truth 1 has long been recognized and acted up- | on, but 1t has not been so plain that 1 husbands need protection from the an- tics of bad wives. There are so many
 bad husbands and so few bad wives
 that lawmakers and others haven't paid
 much attention to the protection of the few good husbands with bad wives
 But there are some husbands in Lon-
 don who think something ought to be
 done for their kind, and so they have
 formed a society whose objects are to
 protect husbands from incorporate and
 tyrannical wives, and to secure from
 parliament such laws as will enable
 the punishment in the courts of wives
 who neglect their families. Under the
 law as 1t is at present the neglect of children is heavily penalized in the shape of fines and it is the husband who invariably suffers through their payment, though it may be the wife who is wholly to blame. Legislation that is asked for is to prevent wives from pawning their husbands proper ty; to enable husband to have wife who is intoxicated placed under sum- mary arrest; to provide for, the inspec- ton of homes where the wife is addict ed to the use of intoxicating liquors by school board officers with power to act as policemen in the matter of making for the establishment of homes for the children of dipsomaniac mothers and providing that husband may se- cure a separation from a wife who is | proved to be a habitual drunkard.
 If good English husbands succeed | in getting more protection perhaps l their example will be initiated in other though it does seem hard to accuse women of doing such things as he members of the London Society for he Protection of Husbands accuse hem Of doing.

 James Pratt died recently in an Eng fish workhouse. For GSOO in cash he at one time bought several thousand acres of, land near the Limpopo river, inSluding ground now tenaciously claimed by the richest gold mining companies in the world. Pratt, how ever, was too much a Britisher for the Boers to stomach, and they deprived him of everything at the time of their rising in 1880, refusing to restore the property until he should promise to be- come burgher. This was condition which Pratt would never accede to and 50 the chance of millions slipped from his grasp.

A unique feature of the Grand Army parade in Allegheny City, Pennsylva- mia, on Decoration day was a military company composed of uniformed girls and equipped with all the accouter- ments of soldiers. It is known as the Girls brigade, and is composed of the older girls of the Sixth ward schools of Allegheny. Each member of the mili- tary company is the proud possessor of light gun. The uniform consists of an electric blue Tam O'Shanter cap with tan ostrich feather, red Eton jacket with gold braid, a white skirt and brown leggings. The uniform of the officers of the company, who are also girls, includes, besides the white skirt and brown leggins, a gold braid- ed military cap with a white plume and a semi-military coat with epaulets. Each officer carries a sword.

A minister tells this story in the
 Homiletic Review: "I was stationed in the town of P-- during my early min- istry, and was profoundly impressed from what saw that I ought to preach against the rebellion against Gods law. I selected for text Isaiah i, 2: I have snourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me- had formally introduced the subject, and re- peated the text that the audience might see the connection between 1t and the first proposition, when my little two- year-old boy slipped out of his moth- er's arms and, taking his stand directly in front of the pulpit, gave such scream of defiance as to startle the en- tire audience. It is needless to say that this, following immediately the quotation of the text, destroyed the so- lemnity of the sermon, so far as the au- dience was concerned"

The negroes in this country are get
 ting some good advice nowadays in-
 cluding that given them by J. H.
 Childers, editor of the coored mans paper in Topeka. Kansas. The negro,
 says MT. Childers, is the only one of
 Gods creatures who is really ashamed
 of himself; who really wants to be something other than he is; who wants to be white: who wants to change the wants the kinks and curls out of his wool; who, when by some hook or crook, tity of Caucasian blood to bleach out his complexion, wants to draw the line and get over into the white mans camp; who, when energy, thrift or chance puts few extra dollars into his pocket, wants to be white; who, when some poor old mother or father has slaved and sacrificed to send him to college, wants to get away from the race. All these and a few more are pe- c,,liar to the race With near 10000, 900 people in this country who are black, the opportunity for fakirs to play upon the weakness of the race is great. With the growing intelligence of our people one cannot but be surprised that there should be so much serious demand for nostrums calculated to do violence to the handiwork of our Creator What | the race needs more than the vile nos trums is soap and water industriously | applied to the cuticle, and energy, in- | telligence, honesty and frugality will | make the race acceptable unto all na- tions.

influence of his wife. was able to crafty
his ruling passion for wealth. The prin-
cess though her Income was large and
her tastes simple, contracted debts
which her father. not without some UNI
casiness discharged, and it was rumOred
that her embarraSsments had been
caused by her prodigal bounty to her
faVorite, and this continued as long as
Anne was ruled by the Churchills, who
enriched themselves at her expense. 1t
was through their influence that parlia-
ment set fifty thousand pounds per an
mum on Anne. They at first asked for
seventy thousand pounds year. In this
friendship all the loyalty. the patience
and self devotion was on the side of the
mistress. The whims, the naughty airs
and fits of i'll temper We're on the side
of the waiting woman.
When on account of his treason, MARI
borough was dismissed by William and
Mary, Anne still kept her favorte,
which kept her husband also at court,
and when Anne was told she must send
them away she went herself before she
would be separated from her dear Mrs.
Freeman. The princess and her entire
family retired to Sion House, a villa be-
longing to the duke of Summerset. In
London she occupied Berkeley House.
Her income was secured by act of par
Lament, but no punishment which the
crown could infiict on her was spared.
Her guard of honor was taken away,
which was a serious matter because
highwaymen infested all the roads in
the vicinity of London and the princess
was really stopped at one time when she
was driving out and was robbed of all
the money and jewels she had with her.
The king and queen were very much
censured for allowing their sister to go
about in such an unprotected state.
This was done by means of placards and
circulars, for in thise days there We're
no daily papers for expression of public
opinion. AS a rule these notices were
made out in rhyme, sometimes set to
music and sung about the streets and
various coffee houses.

The 1909 club is one of the most re-
cent social organizations in the coun-
try, and although the name seems to be
slightly in advance Of the times, local
members are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF adding a few figures to the total as
zone more" has a significant meaning in
the secret work of the order.
Never in the history Of the city has a
club become more popular, in short
space Of time Liam the 1902 club. Some
zof this asiarity Is probably due to the
fact that the initiation fee is II cents,
and there are certain perquisites in con-
nection with the initiation that makes
the loss of the money endurable. A cam
didate, however, in putting up the fee
should be careful, for it is like giving car
fare to a female conductor-if YOU have
the price you ride, but never expect
change under any conditions.
The new club combines some of the
best features of the Silver Bow, the
NinetySiX and the Overland clubs, and
it's constitution is so framed that the I'M
necessary expense Of club rooms and
help is done away with. All this has a
tendency TO promote social intercourse
at unexpected moments, and if members
meet on the street their conversation is
necessarily brief, as the constitution of
the order makes it imperative that the
conversation be confined to a query and
answer. In this manner pneumonia and
sother dread diseases are avoided on cold
days and sunstrokes are avoided during
the summer.
