The sound seemed very familiar to him,
and he was Just ransacSing his memory

The Emperor chewed his moustnche and
impatientiy stamped his foot, but the dis

All the furious Kaiser could do was
TO swear In silence. Of course. and this
lie did to his hearts content.
His Holiness did not seem to notice
anything, but the Einperor's face grad
uuly turned purple with rage.
He had thought he recognized Prince
Eitel l'rit2s voice.

INSPECTING BAD FRUIT TREES.
Secretary Wesley Webb to Visit the Various
Nurserits of the State.

Secretary Wesley Webb of the State
Board of Agriculture, has, in com
pliance with the wishes of the board. .
commenced systematic visitation of
the various nurseries throughout. the
state, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not there are diseased fruit
trees in the stock. Should any dis
eased trees be found by the state Off
cial, the owner of that nursery will
not be given a certificate by the board
until the tree or trees shall have been
destroyed. This, 1T is believed, will
prevent the spread of the disease
among the fruit orchards. Secretary
Webb last week visited the immense
nursery of r. S. Johnston at Stockley,
where there are oyer 5OO,OOO peach,
pear and plum trees.

So many of the people asked me
when 1 was home on my FIVE days

I told them 1 had been up the Miss
issippi River as far as st. Louis, and
they said wait minute and tell us all
about it, well, if 1 told everybody
that asked me 1 would be telling them
yet. 1 told some to wait until l was

months to talk to them before l ship

all about 1t.

which is a new ship and the people of

ship to send to the Dedication Parade
there on the 30th of April, and she be-
ing named after one of the states that
border the Mississippi River. We
left Annapolis, where we stayed all
winter, on the 9th of March for Fort

two days aud then proceeded to Key
West, Fla, arriving there on the 14th.
1t was very warm there and we coaled
ship and bought provisions and stores
enough to last us until we arrived at
New Orleans on the gath. We dropped
our port mud hook and were not an
chored more than ten minutes before
we found we were adrift and we had to
drop our other anchor. We coaled
here and went ashore and had a good
time. Next day painted the ship.
The amusing part of it was when we
went to get underway we found two
anchors instead of one on one chain
and it took about three hours to get
both of them oD deck, and by that
time we had Grifted down stream about
six miles. When we passed New Or

HANNA AID CLARKE.

+ HARTMAN DICK of the Ohio Re
y publican committee gives out a
letter nearly a column long in which
he explains I'm detail why he viii not
permit Senator Hanna to meet the
Democratic senatorial nominee. John
Fl. Clarke, I'm joint debate. Mr.. Dick
reminds as of the story Of the man who
said there were thirteen reasons why
nc could not accept an invitation to
join some friends in a game Of poker.
His first reason was that he had no
money. and he was Immediately in
formed that 0he other reasons were
entirely unimportant
II Mr. Dick had been absolutely hon
est and straightforward and square he
would have said that the first reason
why he didn't want Senator Hanna to
meet Ar Clarke was that Senator
Hanna is afraid of his Democratic op-
ponent. THEFT the long and Iabored ex-
PLANTATION would have been altogether
unnecessary. Besides. Mr.. Dick would
have had the happy consciousness that.
for once in his life. at least. he had
been perfectly candid. Mr.. Dick seems
90 think, at least he would have us be-
love he thinks, that Mr. Clarke would
be too easy for Senator Hanna.
Now. does anybody suppose he really
believes that? If ne does, why doesn't
he turn Mark loose on Mr.. Clarke? In
stead, ignoring the real issues. he sug-
gests a number of Democrats with
whom Mr.. Clarke has disagreed in the
past. as opponents for him i'm foint
debate. Let MS look into this motter
for moment. is the Republican party
as solidly together on all questions as
Mr.. Dick says it is?
The Republican party believes in i'm
periaiism. Does Senator Hanna believe
in it2 If ne does I'VE suggest that he
engage I'm joint debate on that subject
with another apostle Of RepubIicaDism.

does not believe i'm imperialism. Does
Senator Hanna believe that the tariff
should be removed from goods made

can party does not believe in that the

ator Hanna does not believe in it,
either
But a Republican governor Of rock
ribbed Republican state. Cummins of
Iowa. does believe in the tariff changes
outlined. The Herald suggests that
senator Hanna and Governor Cummins
engage in a series Of joint debates in

rest further. that Senator Hanna and

PRESIDENT Roosevelt debate the trust
qees1ion; that Hanna and former
United States Senator Chandler debate
the money question. ard that Hanna
and any one Of his Republican senate
RAJ colleagues who are opposed to the
ship subsidy measure debate that aues-
ton.
Is the Republican party united Well,
Mr.. Dick win have to guess again. In
the west the Republicans tell us that
the Republican party is the best friend
of silver; in the east they tell US that
If the Democrats get into power Wen
have free silver and all of its alleged
accompanying evils a few months after
the inauguration. Come, come, Mr..
Dick, wouldn't it have been better for
your conscience as well as for your
standing if you had said frankly that
you were afraid for Senator Hanna to
meet MI Clarke in Joint debate2
