TRIPOLITAN WAR.


During the decade from 1885 to 1895 fif-
teen American vessels were captured and
the crews made slaves by the piratical
state of Anglers. In the seaports of New
England is was no uncommon occurrence
on Sunday to hear a letter read in
church from some honored citizen, now
a slave on the Northern coast Of Africa,
begging his old neighbors to advance
money for his ransom To prevent furth-
er molestation treaty was made in 1885,
the United States agreeing to ransom
captives then alive, and pay an annual
tribute to the Dey. The ransoms paid
exceeded a half million dollars. All the
European countries paid tribute to these
North African governments to prevent
practical raids upon their commerce, and
the United States consented to do the
same. For seventeen years we paid an
annual tribute of $4,000. In consequence
of a refusal on the part of the United
States to increase the tribute the Bashaw
of Tripoli, June 10, 1901, declared war.
In anticipation of this event the United
States had already sent a squadron to
the Mediterranean In October, 1903, the
frigate Philadelphia, Capt. cambridge,
while chasing a corsair into the harbor
of Tripoli struck q sunken rock and was
captured with all on board. Commodore
Decatur, of the Intrepid, ran his vessel
into the harbor Of Tripoli on the night Of
Feb. lG, 1904, and under the fire of the
shore batteries burned the Philadelphia.

The Simplicity OF HIS Stories.

THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES.
In ages long past there lived an en-
peror who was excessively fond of new
clothes. He spent at least half of his
time in his wardrobe, looking at his
costly robes and trying on one after an
other, to see which most pleased his
fancy.
One day there came to his capital two
clever rogues who declared that thew
were weavers and able to produce fab
ric surprising every other in color and
design, but that the clothes made from
it had the wonderful property Of becom-
ing invisible to any one who was unfit
for the office he held, or unworthy OF +ha
esteem of his fellow men.
