EVER THE AMERICAN GIRL.
rhe Men May Be Beaten, But She
Never.

Never.
"We may conquer the men of Amer
ica," an observant British officer long
ago despairingly cried, "but what can
we do with the women|
That the revolutionary DANES feryld
patriotism has not departed from her
female descendants is proved by true
tale of the late Spanish War, as re-
lated by a Chicago traveller who has
just returned home.
The United States Consul at the
capital of one of the smaller of the
South American republics had been
joined by his daughter just out of
a Western State university. The Span
ish party in this city was large, and
in the spring of 1898 1t became vocif-
erous and vituperative. The American
Consul became the target of so much
| Spanish billingsgate whenever he ap-
peared on the streets that the author
tiles became alarmed for his safety
and detailed four soldiers to accom-
pany him wherever he went
The feeling against the United States
ran so high that the President of the
republic sent a personal request to the
Consul to keep himself as secluded as
possible. Being a good-humored and
peaceable man, the Consul was about
20 accept this friendly suggestion.
Then uprose his daughter and told her
father that he should do nothing of
the kind. She knew that he was not
! a coward and she was resolved that he
should not appear one, even to accom-
modate all the Spaniards from Cuba
to Cape Horn.
So the Consul and mis- daughter called
on the President socially that evening.
They were cordially received, and the
President renewed his suggestion. The
Consul answered that, while he was
greatly obliged both Cor the suggestion
and for the four soldiers who were
following him around, he did not really
think there was any danger, and would
continue to go about his business as
usual.
The President again insisted that
there was danger of a most unpleasant
episode. and even hinted that the Con-
suls life might be taken by some in
sane partisan of Spain.
"Well, Mr.. President" rejolned the
Consul, 81 know of at least six men in
my own State of Iowa who stand
ready to take my post should it become
vacant. And if 1 should be killed 1
am afraid would prove the most ex-
pensive Yankee you have ever met.
Besides, my girl here thinks l would
be a coward if 1 stayed in the house
merely because some people use hard
words about me-"
Whereupon the President gave up the
problem just as the British officer did,
and cOmplimented his fair antagonist
in very similar language That closed
the incident. The Consul went about
his business as usual, and was never
molested. Thanks to his daughters
courage, his own was never questioned,
and his country's enemies had not the
satisfaction of saying that they had
| frightened even one American.
Thus the American girl abroad in
war time justifies the fame of her an
cestors, and proves that the republics
honor is never safer than in the hands
IF it's loyal women.-Chicago Inter
Ncean.

Wall Paper Designs.

MOire effects are to be seen in some
of the new wall papers. These are in
solid colors and have as rule flower
borders, which are rather narrow. One
yellow paper has a narrow border of
yellow in festoons. In each point
where the drapery effect is caught up
there are few roses.
Three strips Of the paper make up a
landscape in the wall coverings, with
scenic effects. Some of these have
tropical views, tropical plants, and bril-
liantly feathered birds.-New YorE
Times.

Making the Linen Last.

Do not allow holes to appear in table
linen until it is so thin that it has to
be laid aside. On Saturday, before the
clothes are sorted for the washing, look
over all the solled tablecloths and nap
kins, holding them to the light. Use
embroidery floss to correspond with
the quality Of the linen, and every
thin place should be darned or run as
neatly as possible. You have no idea
how much longer linen will last when
cared for in this way.

When the animal arrived at the gar
dens Keeper Harris offered her rations
Of hay and vegetables. such as are
given to Bolivar and Empress, her

only sparlngly, however, and on Sun

Then the keeper tried milk, and he was
surprised at her capacity. Philadelphia

screens That Arc Novel.

The Illuminated screens of pegamoid
are something entirely new. The green
and brown shades, in which they are
usually developed, make an especially
attractive background for the gold fig.
ure. The figure is often a heraldlc
design, about eight inches high and
almost as broad One figure is placed
in each panel, and, far from seeming
bare, the surrounding plain space sets
off the Illuminated design and forms
an effective background.

Desirable Effects.

Some very novel and desirable flower
and vine effects are noticeable among
the latest oilcloths and llnoleums
There seems a decided tendency to get
ting away from the universal tile and
geometrical patterns toward something
more ornamental.

It is stated by an Indian paper that
many Calcutta policemen have attained
to positions of such affiuence that they
own private carriages and even a race

bet in sums that astonlsh the average

A Popular Floral Decoration.

POppies are very popular among the
floral decorations for millinery. They
are seen in the natural color and also in
such shades as pale green and light
blue. Most of the large fat hats for
children are trimmed with wreaths of

MR.. WOOTEN is NOT SICK
Instead OF Being Taken to Austin
He is still Speaking in
Bosque County.

The statement was printed in the
Dallas Times-Herald last evening
and in the local morning paper here
, this morning that Dudley G.. Woo
ten was sick at Meridian and his
father and brother would take him
to Austin last night. The item bore
the stamp Of truth, but in fact was
entirely false. Mr.. Wooten was not
In Meridian yesterday, and at the
time the publication was made in
the Times-Herald he was making a
speech at Valley Mills. Mr.. Woo
ten did telephone two Dalias physi-
clans to come to Bosque county,
but whether his sickness was phys
ical or political was not made known.
After delivering his speech at Val
ley Mills Mr.. Wooten caught train
for Clifton and spoke there last
night. On opening his speech yes
terday afternoon at Valley Mills he
stated that he was not well and
would not speak over thirty min
utes. He then sailed into his sub
ject and spoke two hours and half
He is refusing to divide time with
BeaH, but Mr. Beall is following in
his wake and speaking to the crowds
after Wooten finishes. At Clifton
last night they sought to prevent
this by placing q local speaker on
the program to follow Wooten.
This kept the crowd until twelve
O'Clock, but it is stated, they re-
fused to leave until Beall had spok-
Ell. The campaign is the hottest ev-
er known in that county. Every
thing has been lost sight of except
the race for congress. Mr.. Beail's
friends in the county advise US that
the situation, to them is very en-
eouraging, and they feel 30 doubt
of favorable resait Saturday.

SOLDIERS EXPERIENCES
Further Details OF the War as
Seen by One OF the Boys.

We soon ran out of anything
to tell about escapes in battle, so on
the 22nd of November our camp was
attacked and stirred up consider
ably. Nothing else Of Importance
happened for some time.
Along in December we moved to
Manila to do police duty in the city
The natives had been threatening
to burn the city for some time.
We were walking our beats with
$50 rounds of ammunition to the

when all at once we found ourselves
In the midst of several bolomen.
One made slash at me but | was
too quick for him and his earthly
race Is run. In the. conflict / got
my hand cut and blood poison set in
and / came near losing my hand.
Everything cooled off after this
and no more talk of an attack on
the city was made. About this
time the war was supposed to be
over and here II is two years later
and the war Is still going on.

used for the library. Each one of

RAILROADS. LOSS
Will Not Be Farmers Gain, Says
President Mellen.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 13.-President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific railroad.
who is in the city, in response to ques-
ton on the subject, stated that the
Northern Pacific would not only bridge
the Columbia river at Vancouver, Wn..
but also the Willamette river at Port
land, and that it would be necessary
also to tunnel the backbone of the
peninsula between the two rivers.
Mr. Mellen expressed the hope that
the farmers would be benefited by the
reduction in the grain rates that is to
go into effect Friday.
That reduction will take $50, 900 a
year out of the pockets of the railroads
in the Columbia basin.
81 should feel greater satisfaction
with this reduction if 1 thought the
farm ers would get all the benefit But
frankly, 1 believe they will get but lit
tie of the $500, 900 we lose. 1t will be
absorbed by the commission men and
shippers. While I believe this will be
true, I still think the conferences with
the farmers direct will be productive OF
good because of the better acquaintance
that came out of them and the fact
that all mustrecognize that the railroads
tried to m eet the popular demand. If the
farmers do not get the benefit they
must at least admit that we did our
share toward favoring them"
