WANTS STARS AND STRIPES.


The Danish West indies seem to
have fallen into Uncle Sans basket
but the old gentleman win be five mil
lion poorer before he takes them
over. Two things are certain, and
that is that the deal is a good one for
Denmark, and a good one for the ISL
anders OF miles away. Then the ma
tives have been longing for the Stars
and Stripes to wave over them ever
since the Porto Rican occupation. 1t
is doubted whether the United States
will correspondent benefit except
in case of war. Then the islands
would afford refuge for hattleships
that might in emergency be worth
the whole consideration. The inter
oceanic canal plan is the real reason
for the deal which the senate and the
Danish parliament must ratify. and
for which the house of representatives
must give the money. A canal plus
the islands would perhaps be worth
I'VE million more than the canal
alone, but it might seem advisable to
settle on the final canal fight.

THE LENTEN SEASON.

The season OF Lent is now close
at hand, In another week the season
of social gayety will be interrupted
for forty days. and in its place will
come season of quiet and religious
observance. Lent, observed to COM
memorate the forty days fast OF our
Lord in the wilderness, begins on Feb
ruary 12--Asn Wednesday. 1t ends
with Easter Sunday-the day of spring
costumes. The period of fasting is
forty days. with all churches which OBJ
serve Lent except the Greek churches.
which have heightened it to forty-eight
days. Sunday is not counted in fast
Pope Gregory the Great, in $40. di-
receed that the season should begin on
sixth Sunday before Easter. ana that
on the intervening week days fasting
should be practiced. Afterwards
either by him or Gregory II. four DAYS
OF the proceeding week were added. To
make tae whole fast forty DAYS.

Lenteu eacob are observed as festivals
never as facts, and are caller Sunday
in Lent and not Sunday of Lent, The
last, or passion week, is considered
the most solemn portion of the season
and is generally known as holy week.
The ancient observance Of Lent was
OF the most rigorous character. Non
observance frequently resulted in Sc
we're punishment and Otter excom-
munication. All flesh and even the
|so-called white meats" we're excluded.
Modern costumes, however, have
caused a relaxation of the old and
severe methods of observing the per
iod. But the principle of permitting
but one meal with slight collation.,
is still everywhere retained.
Celebration of marriages, and par
ticipation in the common amusements
of the social world are looked ouon
with disfavor during the Lenten sea

NEW DEMOCRATIC WHIP.


That handsome, faithful, able and in
defatigable Aissourian james Tigh-
man Lloyd, has achieved a new and
onerous position, that OF Democratic
whip In the house. 1t is place Of ex-
IRENE difficulty, great labor and vast
Importance. Few men are willing to
assume It's multfarious responsibilities
and fewer still are ft to discharge its
duties He must know not only the
Washington residence but also tie
Washington places Of recreation and
the Washington habits OF every Dem
ocratic representative His chief bust
ness Is to keep tab on members see to
1t that they are In their places 70 vote
or are duly paired, all OF which neccs-
states the constant attendance Of the
whip himself, but also his sleepless
vigilance in looking after the others.
That Lloyd was selected for this del.
icate and arduous position and 10 lead
this strenuous life for the party's and
the country's good is high and well
deserved compliment to the young Mis-.
sourian. He win not have any time
10 throw at the birds" as Uncle Joe
Cannon would say, while he is whip.
He win not have much leisure for or.
atory, but will probably accomplish
more good for the party than viii MI
the orators in the house. Lloyd is the
second youngest member OF the Mis-,
souri, delegation. He is universally rec
ognized as a rising man. No Letter
Democrat walks the earth than the
new Democratic whip.

inal attempt Of the British government
to murder the brave little republics of
South Africa. This is demonstrated
beyond all question by the fact that
the English youth has ceased to yolun-
teer for service in that beastly warfare
whose atrocities put TO blush those
practiced by Butcher WeyleY ON the
people of Cuba and that the English
government is compelled TO resort to
CONSUMPTION TO fill the gaps made in
her regiments In South Africa by dis
case and By the unerring rifles Of the
Boer farmers. That the United States
government will soon have TO resort to
CONSUMPTION to get soldiers for the con-
quest OF the Philippines is altt gether
probable. The glamour OF the service
in that faraway and accused land has
worn off, and only the hideous features
remain, all Of which discourages volun-
teering.

SOLDIERS BELIEVE IN

and spells against wounds and death.

some OF the papers TO the effect that
a soldiers watch. with charm at.

ring suspended from his neck. The
wenrer had II from his sweetheart; he
placed the most perfect faith in It,
and. though he had been In several
