HOIE.
take it that I come from a good fam
lily, have had all the advantages Of
wealth and education. and that it's my
fault that | am today Il family out
cast. I'm not blaming MOTHERHOOD
bless her-and I'm not blaming poor
old dad It's all my fault. They can't
know whether I'm living or dead, but
| hope they have done grieving for me.
l was IA fool and worse Now it's too
late to talk of reconciliation. Camp
life has brought on consumption, and
my days are numbered. 1t would only
be going home to die, and I'd sooner
do that here. | came over here for
reckless adventure, and I'm going to
play it to the end. All I'm afraid of
is that shall be laid up the last three
or four weeks of my life and die like
a dog in his kennel instead of putting
up decent finish
| asked Chips no impertinent ques-
lions, but thought it out for myself
a rich mans son, Yale or Harvard,
debts, reproofs, dishonorable affairs,
disgrace and expulsion. That was
probably the worst and only what has
befallen many young man. Chips
might have done foolish things, mad
things, dishonorable things, but he was
not criminal He was above that. |
didn't even try to deceive him as to his
state of health. He was doomed
man and fully realized it. Words Of
cheer or sympathy would have been
useless. Had he told me nothing |
could have known from his reckless
scouting that day that he wanted to
die the death of a soldier instead of an
invalid.
Another week passed. and twenty
five of us were sent to break through
the Spanish lines and bring up more
ammunition. Chips was looking gaunt
and feeble, but he responded with alac-
rity. He realized the danger and per-
haps intended to make it his last fight.
1t was entirely the fault of the
Cuban colonel who commanded the de-
tachment that we were led into trap
and the entire command made prison
ers without having a chance to fire
gun. 1t was a neat stroke of business
on the part of the Spanish, and they re-
joiced over it for half an hour and then
prepared to reap the fruits-that is, we
were brought before a general who had
M more feeling of mercy toward
rebel than for a rat in the gutter, and

tial He called in no other officer.
There was Il standing order on both
sides to take no prisoners, and it was
disobeyed only by accident. \ court
martial was merely the preface to be-
ing shot and was so understood by
both sides.
1t was Il beautiful morning as we
were drawn up in line before an old
sugar house which had been turned
into a headquarters, and the Spanish
general began business. We were dis

squares off and says he is too big for
her to handle him. But this is all in

How Puss Brought Him Her Babies.
Getting Annie's SALARY Raised.
There is a boy uptown, ten or twelve
years old, who is eXtravagantly fond of
his pet cat. The animal lives in the
basement, and the boy makes daily Wis
its there unless some accident prevents
him from doing so. Recently he under
went an operation for the relief of en-
larged tonsils, and as n result he was
compelled to remain in bed for several
days On the second day of his con-
finement to his room others members
of the family caught a glimpse of the
cat making her way upstairs with
something in her mouth She made
her way to her masters room and,
jumping upon the bed, laid tiny kit
ten beside the pillow. After noting
the establishment with which the boy
regarded the advent of this unexpected
visitor the mother cat made her way
to the basement again and returned
with a second kitten. This was all the
family pussy had, and she purred with
satisfaction at the delighted expression
of the sick boy
The boy who was so fond of his cat
was also passionately attached to the
maid who had taken care of him all
through his earlier years. He frequent
ly vowed that he would marry her
when he grew up and besought her to
wait for him. One day he was sud
denly taken with the toothache, and
visit to the dentist became necessary.
1t was decided to extract the tooth,
and laughing gas was administered.
Mamma" stammered the boy. thick
ly as he was lapsing into unconscious
ness, will you do me a favor|'
"Yes; anything you want replied
the indulgent mother.
"Then raise Annie's salary So
MONTH"
After the tooth had been taken out
the boy could remember only one thing
. that had happened, and that was that
mamma had promised to raise Annie's
pay. As the mother had always brought
up her children in the way of truth
she felt obliged to accede to the re-
quest, and Annie was made that much
richer.-St. Louis Star.

Fnthcr of Modern Lnrisnrnhencc

Louis IN. WAS practically the founder
of modern Jurisprudence. About the
year 12ll he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work of re-
dressing their own wrongs and pub.
lished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi This forbade pri-
waite redress for wrongs for the space
of forty days after the injury was com
mitted. During that time the injured
person must seek redress and satisfac-
ton in the kings court, anusif his
wrong were not righted at the end of
forty days he might then take its rec
tification into his own hands.
This proclamation made justice
speedy and tolerably sure, although, OF
course, its administration was in
rough and ready way, and unless the
records are at fault some law of this
kind prevailed in Louisiana at the time
when Missouri was Il part of the
French kings possessions.

~ OW Seattle is moving heaven and

appears in the following article and
map taken from the Post-Intelligencer:
The accompanying drawing, the fig
ures on which have been taken from

shows the three routes from the Unit
ed States to the Orient, that from Seat
tie being the shortest by wide mar
gin. The distances are: Seattle to
Yokohama, via Dutch Harbor, 42iO;
San Francisco to Yokohama, by the
great circle route, 1885, and San Fran
cisco to Yokohama, via Honolulu, $500
miles. From these figures the advan-
tage possessed by Seattle as a shipping
port on the Pacific Coast for the Orien-
tai trade is evident. By Dutch Har-
Dor she is 296 miles nearer the Oriental
markets than San Francisco is by the
great circle, while the route from San
Francisco by Honolulu is 1860 miles
greater than that from this city.
Seattle is also nearest Manila, via
Yokohama From Yokohama to Ma
Mia it is 1899 miles, making the total
distance from San Francisco $3.50 and
from Seattle 6O39. difference of more
than 500 miles in favor of this city. The
southern route by Honolulu is still
longer, the distance from that place to
Manila being $685. miles.
The formation of the globe is re-
isponsible for Seattle's advantage in re-
spect to distances. The route by Dutch
Harbor lies on a composite great cir
Orient has one important factor in its
favor. Ships are able to call in at
Dutch Harbor and take on a fresh sup
ply of coal for the long voyage. The
route from the California metropolis by
the great circle lacks this factor. Yes

travel 1896 miles without any stopping

is so long that the fact of there being

the case of Miss Roosevelt, might be the

that of Miss Roosevelt's reception by the
