If THERE is one thing that the
average American is proud of it is
the girl. The National Magazine,
true to its intensified interest in
affairs American, is publishing a
series of portraits on covers, show
ing the distinctive type of Ameri-
can girls. These portraits have a
winsome attractiveness on the
news-stands, where the National
stands out clear and distinctive in
its clean-cut and aggressive field.
The magazine for May has the
usual crisp way of comprehending
current topics touching all phases
of human interest. Editor Joe
Mitchell Chapple sticks his rough
and ready washington Affairs"
stub pen in potato, and, with a
dainty fine-lined Spencerian pays
a delicate and eloquent tribute to
women and the power
they exercise in national affairs,
from "piro azores to lace caps"

At the PACIFIC GATEWAY.

gion of the United States is the
child of legitimate expansion, and
its history is especially signff cant
at the present time. One of the
reasons impelling this country to
acquire California operated also in
dealing with the Philippines. If
California had not become part
of the United States it would have
passed to England or France
through negotiations with Mexico.
Our State Department under the
early Polk administration, and
even before, maintained a quiet
vigilance upon this point, and our
naval and army officers on the Pa
ci6c were given cautlonary in
structions. One American COM
modore was SIX years ahead of time
in hosting the flag, and when
compelled by his own government
to retrace this step, doubtless un-
derstood that he was merely lit
tie too fast for manifest destiny.
California came to the United
States finally by treaty with Next
CO. Some public men doubted the
wisdom of accepting region on
what seemed the other side of the
world and populated with 10000
Mexicans, Spaniards, hybrids and
Indians. The result of that ex-
pansion< however, is before the
world and speaks for itself.
Fifty years have passed since
California became a State without
passing through the territorial
stage. But the conditions were
exceptional A great tide of splen-
did American manhood had poured
into California in search of gold
and took the dominant part in the
formation of the new State. 1t
was contiguous territory in one
sense, but months were required
to reach it by sea voyage around
the Horn or by the overland route.
Many of the argonauts and many
who voted for the constitution I'M
der which the State was admitted
are still living. California is a
wonderful example of expansion.
Mining has long ceased to be its
chief industry. 1t has developed
other resources until, by the cen
sus of last year, it has population
of I,485,o53, an increase of 20 per
cent. in ten years. Within twenty
years after the first grains of gold
were identified at Suffers Mill
California produced 10000, 900
bushels of wheat and 100000 of
barley in one year. Its fruits and
wines are known to-day through
out the world.
But California has a greater
national import. 1t is the CONNER
Clal gateway to the Pacific and the
Orient. One expansion at the be-
ginning of the last century gave
the United States the great portal
at the mouth of the Mississippi.
Another expansion in the middle
of the century added to the count
ry the Golden Gate; and still an
other, at the close of the century
placed in American hands the
Philippine gateway to Eastern
Asia and its vast population n.

In our style of climate, with its
sudden changes of temperature

from us by neglected colds, half
the deaths resulting directly from
this cause. A bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will pre-
vent serious sickness, large doc
tors bill, and perhaps death, by
the use of three or four doses. For

Indianapolis Press.
Not in any sense a shrewd poll
tician, he has won in his political
schemes simply by the plutocratic
might with which he has been sup
ported. His political power is
merely the power of money, placed
in sufficient quantities, "where it
would do the most good" His
ideals of public office are those of a
sordid and self-seeking man who re-
al1zes the power of public Office in
commercial relations. These facts
about Hanna are nantes: in all his
activity; and no amount of con-
temptation of him could remove the
impression he has already made.
AS matter of fact, the country is
not deceived about Hanna; he is
estim ated at his just characier-a
plutocrat and the agent Of pluto
Gratis, welding the mighty power of
aggregated wealth in the control of
political activity. No futnre pre-
fences could ever blind the people
to the odious facts of his public
character and the sordid baseness
of his political plans.

Probing for Oil.

Lake Charles, La, April 1.-The deter
mination to probe the earth for oil has
passed the speculative stage in Calcasieu
parish. Work has already begun at Vim
cent, and before many days go by operations
will begin near Sulphur. The Forward Re-
duction Company, whose general Offices are
in San Francisco, has 4 branch company
which will begin operations here almost i'm
mediately. Two rigs have been ordered
over from Beaumont and the
way, and three other rigs coming from
the north. The first we'll will be sunk about
half mile west of Sulphur mine, near the
head of Choupique bayou. A second will
go down west of the first, few miles. The
third will be bored about four miles south
east of Edgerly, and fourth will be sunk
still eastward and between the last mentioned
one and the Calcasieu river. The above is
the result of meeting at Lockport in the
Office of Captain George Lock, of this city,
last Friday afternoon. Among those present
were: DR.. Forward, representing the For
ward Reduction Company; S. A. Roberts
and Captain George Thatcher, of the
Houston River Canal Company; Captain
George Lock, Fred Lock, G. Settoon and
II. NJ. Robertson, of Texas, and others
whose names have not been learned Messrs.
A. L. Lyons and G. w. House left this
morning for Beaumont, Tex, where they
will meet the other gentlemen who are inter-
ested with them in the organization of an
oil company, the organization of which is to
be completed tc day in Beaumont, has
leases on great many acres of valuable oil
land in blackberry island, and they will be-
gin operations there in the very near future.

ASHES OF GLORY.
Fold up the gorgeous silken sun,
By bleeding martyrs blest,
And heap the laurels it has won
Above its place of rest.
No trumpet's note need harshly blare-
No drum fnnereal roll
Nor trailing sables drape the bier
That frees a dauntless soul.
1t lived with Lee, and decked his brow
From Fate's Imperial Palm;
1t sleeps the sleep of Jackson, now
AS spotless and as calm.

And they shall, shuddering, tell,
Who struck the blow, its latest gun
Flashed ruin it fell.
Sleep, shrouded Ensign! not the breeze
That smOte the victor tar
With death across the heaving seas
OF fiery Trafalgar;
Not Arthur's Knights, amid the gloom
Their knightly deeds have starred;
Nor Gallo Henry's matchless plume,
Nor peerless born Bayard;
No. ali that antique fables feign.
And Orient dreams disgorge;
Nor yet the Silver Cross of Spain,
The Lion of St. George
Can bid thee pale. Proud emblem, still
Thy crimson glory shines
Beyond the heightened shades that fill
Their proudest kingly lines.
Sleep in thine own historic night
And be thy blazoned scroll;
a warriors banner takes its flight
To greet warriors soul.
