No Use in Being squeamish.

The American people have declared
themselves in favor of retaining me
Philippines. The army is trying TO
carry out their wishes. Such being the
case, why should they be squeamish
about methods? Is not oriental ex-
pansion the natural destiny of the
American people? Senator Beveridge
and the rest of the imperialistic states
men have assured us that it is. Way
falter, then, on the way to destiny?
What matters it ii there are few
more dead bodies to step over, and
why should people marching to des-
tiny concern itself about the manner
in which the former owners of these
bodies came to their death? Destiny
is destiny, and is not all flesh grass?
And what is a little grass more or less
that it should block the progress of
civilization?-De Free Press.

Situated at the sharp angle where
the Arroyo Seco, or dry ditch Ia ra-
vine that extends from Los Angeles TO
the Sierra Madre mountains, some four
teen miles away, and che Los Angeles

curious exhibits of pigeon life ever
presented to the eye.
Here ten thousand pigeons, mostly
light in color. are found perched upon
the roofs of eight frame sheds. The
walls of these sheds are composed OF
hundreds of empty gasoline cans with
one of the ends taken out and wooden
boards with apertures large enough for
pigeons substituted, and thousands of
wooden fruit boxes Furnished with
square openings. The ground Is gener-
ally covered with pigeons until a stran-
ger arrives. when there is great whir-
ring noise, the air is full of wings and
thousands of pigeons return to their

This institution belongs to one OF

forms a great attraction to visitors
from all the country round, as well as
to numerous colored thieves, who make
a continual practice OF robbing this
vast aggregation of pigeon roosts. Two
large dogs properly qualified to bark
and bite are located at each end of
the grounds. about 2G0 feet from each
other. These are secured safely by
long chains to spikes Ia the ground.

Fashion Notes.

Birds nests perch atop few of the
new hats.
Either buckles or strings serve for
fastening Oxfords.
Coral. gobelin blue, tan and reseda are
the first choice in colors.
Nearly every garment has touch of
black, if no more than short hair line.
Oriental laces are especially well adapt
ed TO the present styles Of hat trim
ming.
Lingerie sashes are promised as an
adjunct of the smartest wash gowns this
year.
We were wont to trim cloth with lace
appliques; now we find lace with cloth
appliques.
Apple green, delicate blue, pink and
burnt orange are stylish shades in velvet
trimmings.
Belts are either of black or some deli
cate-colored velvet to harmonic with the
color of tie costume.
The tops of 'snap" fasteners for kid
gloves ara now made in extra large size.
Some of these are as large as a tive-cent

some kind generally matching the vest.
Buttons trim many of them.
There are few skirts that do not show
trimming of some kind, either in stitched
bands. circular fiounces. Spanish fiounces,
gathering, tucking stitching. lace bands,
insertion or medalhons. Narrow soutaehe
and the narrow s-idths of serpentine

and are seen on many of the silk gowns.
Jackets show some form Of basque or
position effect. and are on the bolero or
eton order, Many blouse in front. while
others are cut away 70 show handsome
lace or chiffon front. They usually show
the same trimming as that on the skirt.
Veilings. Examines, silk and wool mix
lures, lightweight silks and pongees are
used largely. Several suits made of
transparent wash materials were pretty.
When such stuffs are used the coat bod
ice is usually of very heavy lace with
bodice of the material underneath. both
always worn together. Shocking and
gathering enter largely into new gowns of
the softer materials. Foulards made up
in this manner look very dainty. Small
patterns are usually employed, with black
or white chantilly or guipure as trim
ming.
The criticism so often made of the
princess gown that it suggests a wrapper,
does not hold against current models, the
trimming quite doing away with sub
faults. See the middle gown of the next
picture, for example. II was apple green

braid, with yoke, collar and vest of white
satin, the last embroidered in gold. The

MANY SPIES OF THE SULTAN.

Turkey Growing Demora1ized Under
the Present Vicious System.
In no country and ait no time of the
worlds history has the spy system been
developed to the point 1t has attained in
Turkey to-day. 1t is a most elaborate
organization and costs an immense
amount OF money. There are spies and
counter spies, and counter-counter-
spies to the fourth or fifth degree.
Their number Is legion, and they are
TO be found In all Glasses of society,
from the highest to the lowest. Be
sides the minister OF Holice, almost ev-
cry high dignitary has his own service
OF spies. says the London Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations, and
spend most of their time in spying and
denounclng each other. All prominent
persons are closely watched. and fol-
lowed even while shopping, and should
they meet another person of note and
exchange a few words, the fact is care
fully noted Turks no longer dare as
semble in parties of five or six for the
purpose of spending their evenings to-
gether. Ii IL impossible for three or
four of them TO sit down at a table In
a coffee house without having a spy at
the next On such occasions they al
ways speak very loud, so that every
body may hear them. Should Euro
pesn converse with Turk in the
street. a spy win follow them and try
10 find out what they are saying.
The result OF all this is that the
Turks avoid one another's company as
much as possible. and whenever they
do come together the conversation Is
on the MOST futile subjects, and quite
childish The Turkish nation is grow
ing more and more demorallzed under
the present system

How Gen. Grant Lost His '.Hiram."

Not many Americans know that Hi
ram u. Grant was the eighteenth Pres
ident of the United States. Yet it is
true. for Ulysses Simpson" was never
legally the name of our greatest Gen
eral. This Interesting fast is brought
out by Franklin B. Wiley in the Ia
dies Home Journal, in "FamoUs Peo-
pie AS We Do Not Know Them" The
story of how it came about was told
by a member of Congress l..
Hamer who recommended young
Grant as a candidate for West Point
in 1899. Mr. Hamer had long been a
friend of the Grants, but when he
came to make out the application pa
pers for Ulysses he could not recall the
boys full name. So. deciding that he
was doubtless named for his mothers
family. he wrote it Ulysses Simpson
Grant Thus was it recorded at West
Point. and though the attention of the
officials was several times called to
the error thes did not feel authorized
TO correct It This name was grad
ually adopted. and by it Grant was.
and always will be, known. But as
for any record of the birth of Ulysses
simpson Grant.1 that does not exist.

is Roosevelt in Earnest2

The old leaders of the Republican
party either do not know or pretend not
to know what to make of Mr.. Roose-
velt's display of activity against trusts.
1t is something new for Republican
President to make even n decent pre-
tense OF enforcing the laws against
trusts.
The leaders. therefore, are puzzled
and more Or less alarmed when Mr..
Roosevelt mounts his broncho and sal
lies forth for furious tilt against the
trusts without so much as winking the
other eye at them.
Can he mean it? Or is he merely out
showing his teeth to the gallery gods
of the political amphitheater? He does
not take the party bosses into his con-
fidence, and very likely they are.really
at loss to know whether he is in ear
nest
Anyhow, there is a lot of scurrying.
| The gentlemen of the Northern Securi-
ties merger silently HE them to the
capital and anxiously consult with
| Mark Hanna and the rest and pass the
word up to the White House that if the
President really means it something
heavy will drop on the Republican par
ty. or at least on Mr.. Roosevelt as its
/ official head, and the huge business and
financial Interests" otherwise called
trusts, will know what that something
heavy is.
The astonished packers also move on
/ " III, .srfn oal
agents, if not personally, on a like err
rand bent, and they repeat the solemn
warning. They remind Mr.. Roosevelt
that without the backing of the big
trusts the Republican party could not
have won battle these last fourteen
years at least. and that no statesman
of that party can put up an honest
fight against the trusts and live.
Is Mr.. Roosevelt in earnest? That is
a thing that is yet to be found out. He
knows that these things are true. He
knows that neither he nor any other
Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency can win without the active sup
port of the trusts We cah draw cur
own inference.
We shall be assisted in drawing the
Inference if we bear in mind that he is
proceeding by injunction only.
When we hear of his instructing the
proper officers to have the trust mag
mates indicted under the criminal pro-
visions of the statute we may begin TO
believe he means something.-Ch Chicago

The TariF Cannot stand.

Ii becomes more evident every day
that the present tariff schedule cannot
stand much longer. The paramount
issue of the Congressional election this
year will be the tariff and the old
lines win be changed very decidedly
There are many men now demanding
a reduction of duties who even two
years ago would have stubbornly OPP
posed any such thing. The split in the
Republican party ON this question Is
widening rapidly. The Republican
press is even more divided than the
Republican politicians. Seldom has
any party Ia this country been so
much at sea as the Republicans are
now on reciprocity. They are famous
folk for getting together, bet if they
can reconcile their differences on this
question they win beat then own rec

Farms Not Making Millionaires.

The agriculturist of an agricultural
country cannot be benefited by a tariff
on agricultural products. But they can
be greatly injured by tariff on the
things they use. If they have to pay
more than their foreign competitors
for the tools they use, the clothes they
wear the food they purchase, the ma
terial needed for fences and build
ings, they are manifestly handicapped
in the contest, and that is what the
American farmer is experiencing. The
farm is not making any Schwabs or
Carnegies or Rockefellers or Morgans
at least not directly. These sudden
ly acquired fortunes are not the re
suit of tilling the soil, but the tillers
of the soil are contributing to every
one of them. indianapolis Sentinel.
