a MESSAGE TO GERMANY.

The message Of the United States Gov

crnment. having already withdrawn its
troops from China, with the exception OF
a small guard intended for the protection
of its legation in Pekin, has thereby al
ready expressed it's view concerning the
further military occupation of China.
Occasion was taken also by the State

days We have become accustomed TO
flexible. light, comfortable clothes
which are not hindrance to anything,
even in climbing a fence or a tree if
necessary. What could a man in armor
do if he encountered an electric car?
He would be unable to dodge; he would
just have Ia stay on the track and have
it out with the car. Moreover, as Mark
Twain has pointed out, suit Of clothes
like that must have felt something like
a stove on a hot day. and the wearer.

not get away from it or put out the
fire or shield himself with a screen.
Some of the comfort which the pes
simistic poet above quoted is lauding
so highly IS very much like the armor,
in practical ways Armor, Of course,

in ones ribs, but when arrows went out

rrnrress in the south.

From the Philadelphia North American-)
No greater boon has ever come to the agri-
cultural interests of the South than the dcvel-
opu.ent OF its manufacturing industries during
the last fifteen years As the movement gains
inpetus the farmers and land owners will realize
more and more fully the benefits to be derived
from the widening of their opportunities. The
South has so long been classed as a purely agri-
cultural section that the change it is now un-
dergong upsets accepted traditions. That it
should utilize a large part Of its cotton and
lumber and iron the spot is an evidence
OF the economic progress OF the age.

From the Frying Pan to the Fire.

There was a sensation in Metuchen,
New Jersey, the other day. and as
sensation larger than a mosquito bite
is somewhat rare in Jersey. this one
created much interest. In that town
lives Dr. Charles Freeman, whose chief
distinction outside of Metuchen is that
he is the fiance of Mary E. Wilkins.
The novelist is in no way mixed up in
this episode, unless she should happen
to use it in story some time. 1t sounds
rather as if it were intended by Provi-
dence to figure in one.
There was a frame in the Metuchen
postoffice, belonging to a photographer
of the place, and containing several
photographs. Among them was one of
DIR. freeman He saw it, and apparent
ly became enraGed. After gazing at the
offending frame for a minute he went
out in the street and picked up a big
stone. Returning, he went up to the
frame and broke the glass with the
stone, took out his own picture, tore
it into bits, and went on home. After
that he wrote the photographer let
ter which ought to have scorched the
IIldll DdS- 1t was LQll Vi IiI = anu VI iii
stone. DR.. Freeman told the photog
rapher that he considered such impu
dence astounding. and that if every
photograph of his was not taken down
within three days he should begin a
lawsuit, and, anyway, should advise his
friends not to patronize the photog-
rapher
ha ortiCf dpql1rac that hn
does not know why in the world DR..
Freeman should have objected to the
picture, as 1t was a very good one, and
was said to be admired by his fancee.
But the reason does not seem to mat
ter. If all the logic in the world is
used to prove that DR.. Freeman ought
not to be angry, the fact still remains
that he is. AS the African unjustly put
into jail said after hearing a long ex-
planation of the injustice of his being
there:
f'Whats DAT got to do wild it? rs here"
SO, whether it is possible or impos-
sibIe for DR.. Freeman to object to hav-
ing his picture in frame in the post
office without his permission, he does
OBJECT, ana lndl Is al lIldI lueIG Is
about it.
As a matter of fact, such a liberty on
the part of photographer is probably
unjustifiable But there is another as
pect to the incident The wrath of the
hero of this incident seems to have been
due to the fact that his countenance
was, without his permission, exhibited
to the people of Metuchen in a photo
graph hung up in the postoffice. But
mark the result. He made a scene in
removing It; the scene made a sensa-
ton; the New York Journal" always
on the lookout for a sensation, grabbed
the story, and the result is that Dr.
FTeemans picture is in the New York
Journal of Sunday last, along with
yellCw-kid tiger supplements and pic
lures Of other people, reputable and
disreputable. who have also made
sensation during the week, and it will
be seen, presumably without his per
mission, by several hundred thousand
people.
Undoubtedly a live fish feels uncom-
Portable in frying pan; but if he be
wise fish and fond Of life he will lie

The sweet church bells are pealing

chorus wild and free,
And everything's rejoicing
For the glorious victory;
But bitter tears are gushing
For the gallant and the gay,
Who now in death are sleeping
On the field of Monterey.

flowers,
And ! a pround May queen,
And all the young and gay were met
To dance upon the green;
The noblest and the manifest
Was by my side that day,
Who now In death is sleeping
On the field of Monterey.
The flowers of spring are faded now,
The woods are scar and colo,
The persimmon's cheek is flushing,
And the pawpaw shines in gold;
But he in earliest manhood
Has sadly passed away,
And now in death is sleeping
On the field of Monterey.
The bugles swell their widest notes
And loud the cannons roar,
And madly peal the sweet church bells
For holy rest no more;
But lonely hearts are bleeding
Upon this glorious day,
For the loved in death are sleeping
On the field of Monterey

Where Queen September goeth by;
Her viewless feet disturb the leaves.
And with hei' south the thrushes fly
Or loiter mid the rustling sheaves.
And search and fail, and wonder why
The burgher cat tails stialy bow
Beside the marsh. The asters cast
Their purple coronets, and below
The brown fern shivers in the blast
And all the fretted pool aglow
Repeats the cold, clear yellow sky,
The dear. loved summer days are past,
And tranquil goes the Queen TO die.
