PADDY AND DADDY.

The colonel. or odd Daddy" as he
was usually called, had a habit of
strolling around the camps at most un.
seasonable hours. Sentrlcs had to be
continually on the alert, for nothing
would have given "Old Daddy" great
err satisfaction than to have pounccd
on some luckless one who might think
the midnight hours suitable for quiet
snoOZe.
Paddy Brannigan made that mis-
take once. There in the quiet moon.
light he sat. all unconscious OF the
colonel's presence, his rife laid against
the tent, himself buried in slumber
Gently the rifle was lifted from its
place. But some good angel awOke
Paddy in time to see the colonel max
ing his way to the guard tent. Paddy
missed his rifle at once, and followed
the colonel with the caution OF a prai-
RE cat.
Outside the guard tent stood the
wooden rack which held the rifles OF
the guard and into it "Old Daddy
placed Paddy's rife, himself entering
the tent to call the sergeant in charge,
This was Paddy's opportunity. He
grabbed his rifle, and was back at his
post in an instant. The colonel
brought the sergeant outside and or
dered him to count the rifles.
IAN correct, sir, said the sergeant
Nothing of the sort. There is an
extra rife there. That | am certain
of, for | put 1t there myself"

the somewhat amazed sergeant.

instant, and I'll soon let you see what

Halt! who goes there?" rang out
clear and sharp in the night air from
the now wideawake Paddy.
This was more than "Old Daddy
had ever dreamed of. For moment
he was paralyzed. Then he marched
straight up to Paddy, gazed into his
sweetly innocent face, and, with a
well I'm bowed" turned on his heel
and vanished.

FIGHT AGAINST CUBA

Washington, oJan. 2S.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings were resumed to-
Gay before the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House with delegationsN
representing the beet sugar industry of
Colorado and a number of Cubans,
representing the planters of the island
in attendance.
f. NJ. Carey of Colorado spoke OF the
development of the beet sugar indus
try of Colorado and its bright pros
poets. If not endangered by Cuban con-
cessions, which he asserted would re-
Gound to the great advantage of the
American Sugar Refining Company.
The present movement, he said, was
only another chapter in the inevitable
conflict between the domestic sugar
producers of this country and the re-
filming company, the latter seeking to
crush the former.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois
said Carey's assertion of injury to the
beet sugar was only an assumption,
and he expressed the belief that re-
duction could be made of certain per-
centage without destroying the beet
sugar industry.
Representative Dalzell and Represen-
tative Grosvenor took part in the dis
cussion. stating that the injury to the
domestic producers had been shown by
Carey and other witnesses. Grosvenor
remarked that any one could see this
result who could put two and two to-

New York. Jan. 2S.-A cable TO the
World from Monte Carlo says: Santos
Dumont made two trips out over the
water in his newest dirigible balloon
today, going far out to sea on his sec
ond trip. and eclipsing all of his for
mer achievements. In the great crowd
that saw the experiments today and
who warmly congratulated the aeno-
naut when he landed, were the EN-
press Eugene and Archdukes Ferdi-
rand and Otto of Austria. The wealth
er conditions were perfect.
At 1890 o'clock the gates of the aer-
drome swung open and the airship APP
peared. Santos Dumont mounted the
car. and. the ropes being disengaged,
the ship rose about twenty feet Then
the motor was set working, and, NOV
growing swifter. the ship sailed out
over the bay with the guide rope trail
ing in the sea. After time the ship'7
speed was curbed and 1t poised abovs

trailing rope, and this done the motor
was put in action again, and off went
the air ship at a rafting pace. The
yacht Varuna and Government
launch followed in its wake.
Describing a circle. Santos Dumont
headed for home and, after having
been in the air for fifteen minutes,
alighted safely at the starting point,
where an enthusiastic crowd awaited
him.
Still better was the second trip,
made after luncheon. This time San
tos Dumont went right out to sea and
performed innumerable evolutions,
showing his complete control over the

stopping and darting ahead. Again
every movement was carried out with
astounding ease Then he turned in
land once more, soaring over the Ca
sine and castle and finally alighting.
after an absence of about half an hour,
to receive the renewed congratulations
of the spectators. The trials were IN
every respect a magnificent success.
and Santos Dumont is greatly pleased.
He will continue his trial trips daily,
so as to thoroughly test the airship
before undertaking the Corsican jour
ney.

e,FIag viii "stay Put

New York World: President Roose-
velt's vehement declaration at ban
quet in Washington that the flag
shall stay put in the islands of the
eastern seas" savors more of a Rough
Rider than of statesman.
To begin with, it is the province of
congress, representing the people,
and not of their servant, the eXecu-
tive, to say how long our flag shall
stay in the Philippines and congress
has not decided.
Why are we to assume that the flag
will stay put in the Philippines any
more than in Cuba? Both the Gu
bans and the Filipinos were the sub
jects of Spanish oppression. Both
were our allies in the war of liberia
ton. Why should we give to the
Cubans freedom and independence
and impose upon the Filipinos subju-
CATION and vassalage?
Our flag has fioated in Cuba for
nearly four years. 1t is to come
down on the Goth of this month, and
the flag of Free Cuba is to rise in its
place. There are a hundred sound
reasons of interest, of pride and of
national projection in favor of hold
ing Cuba, the beautiful and produc-
tive island, within less than a hun

dred miles of our coast, to one pale
ghost of reason for holding the
Philippines bag of cats'-tthat mon
grel aggregation of unassimilabl and
ungovernable islands on the other
side of the globe.
In his first message to congress
President Roosevelt spoke like an
American and a statesman on this
question. I'VE hope" ne said, Ito do
for these islanders what has never
before been done for any people of
the tropics-to make them fit for self
government after the fashion of the
really free nations And he added
these words of truth and soIDerness:
I'VE are anxious first for their sakes.
and next because it relieves. us of a
great burden.
How much more admirable and
truly American is this than the cow
boy boast that our flag shall ''stay
put where both honor and self-in-
terest forbid it to stay permanently
