The critical review of the Boer
war by the British royal commission
is one uninterrupted piece of fault
finding by everybody concerned. And,
in view of the fact that England
''blundered through as the English
saying is, and finally conquered, the
criticism evidently suits the British
taste. According to Lord Roberts,
the initial blunders in strategy were
irremediable; according to Lord Kitch-
hener, most of the British officers
were worse than useless; according to
Gen. Butler, the home government did
not know anything; according to
Lord Wolseley, civilian secretaries
had all the power; and according to
the civilian secretaries Lord. .Wplseley
did not realize his own opportunities.
The solemn truth is that the only
thing on the British side that covered
itself with glory was the American
mule. Our mules conquered the

comfort. he faced the world with
practically nothing but his hands. He
went to Minneapolis and tramped the
streets for work in vain. At last he
had but five cents between him and
beggary and starvation.
Walking along the street, uncer-
tain whether to try again or give up
the battle altogether, he was asked
by n Salvation Army girl for a nickel
for the poor. Moved. perhaps, by the
unconscious irony of the request, he
gave her his nickel. and told her it

Almost convinced that the Lord had

AtIanta's Start.

Atlanta, Ga, is one of the greatest
cities of the south. The start of this
enterprising town was peculiar and
was brought about by a remarka BILE
circumstance. Something over so
years ago there was a little town a
few miles from where it is now locat-
ed. y railroad was projected and
built in that country and this little
town became the terminal thereof.
The consequence was that great
many strangers came that far on the
railway and being unable to further
proceed by that mode of travel they
naturally got off the train and made
this little town their headquarters
for the transaction of such business
as they might happen to have in that
neighborhood. This was matter of
great annoyance to the people living
in the little town and in some instan-
ces it interfered with some lines of
business in which the local inhabit-
ants were engaged. The number of
strangers became so great and inter
fered with the ordinary trend of
events in the little town that the peo-
pie of the settlement finally got to-
gether and notified the railroad com
panv that it must move on; that they
would tolerate the running of the
road and the trains through their vii
lage. but that they were tired of this
everlasting unloading of trangers
among them. The railroad company
did not have any other place to go
and did not have great deal of mon
ey at its command for building, but

Charles \. Edwards. the noted
Washington correspondent, in his cur
rent letter says: There is some rath-
er severe criticism of the president
here in political circles in the national
capital on account of the recent naval
review. That review ordered by the
president to be held practically in his
back yard in Oyster Bay, partOOk very
much of the autocratic methods of
the car or the kaiser. No previous
president ever ordered the ships of
the American navy to come to his
home in order to review them and
make war-like speech to the officers
and men of the navy. That review,
for which there was no need or war
rant, except to make a hoodlum holi-
day for the inhabitants of Oyster Bay
and vicinity, cost the taxpayers of the
country not less than $4,000 for pow
der burned in salutes to the com
mander-in-chief of the American
navy. He may next take a notion that
he wants to review the American
army. If he does it will cost the peO-
pie not less than half million dol
lars to concentrate the troops for the
review. The people need not be sur
prised at anything"

Labor Day Celebration.

While comparatively new celebra-
ton, Labor day now occupies a high
rank in popularity among other
American holidays. It's observance
brings the people in closer accord
with the wage Garner and demon

years Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
been demonstrating to the world its
wonderful ability to cure stomach,
liver and kidney disorders. Its fame
and success as a family medicine is
known from one end of the country
to the other and while other medi-
cines have sprung up from time to

it from its position in the front rank.
