officer the other day. "Pershing is a

him has reached this country. He is
former cavalry officer and could
give pointers to Comanche on how
to ride a horse.
"The South African war nearly ex-

REED AS A LOVER OF PEACE.
Rebellion a Reflection Against Com.
mon Sense Of the Race

The late Thomas B. Reeds makeup,
mental and physical, fitted him for
conflict, yet he was lover of peace.
The American Friend, the organ Of the
orthodox Quakers, publishes this week
extracts from letters which Mr.. Reed
wrote during the Spanish war and
since, which are very characteristic
of the man. 1t seems that in a letter
written to his Quaker friend in March,
1898, he complained that he had re-
ceived so little credit from peace So
cieties for his consistent service as a
peace man, while Mr.. Long, secretary
of the navy, was the idol of the socie-
ties. He said in note at the end of
this letter: Does thee remember the
book of Jonathan Dymond? | have
never forgotten it, and have it yet"
Thirty-eight years before when he was
student at Bowdoin this Quaker
friend had given him copy of Essays
on the Principles of Morality" writ
ten by the English Quaker, Jonathan
Dymond. in 1929.
After President Mckinley had made
speech assigning to Providence re-
sponsibility for the war with Spain,

friend sent him a pamphlet on war, to
which he replied that he would read 1t,

fact that the North and the South had

HAD REASON TO LAUGH.
How Deacon Unwittingly Amused the
Conureuatjon,

Deacon Reice of Hartford, Conn,
was well known as being provided
with an enormous handle to his coun-
tenance in the shape of a huge nose;
in fact, 1t was remarkable for its
length. On one occasion, when TAX
ing up collection in the church to
which he belonged, every person to
whom he presented the box seemed to
be possessed of sudden and uncon-
trollable desire to laugh. The deacon
did not know what to make OF 1t. He
had often passed it around before. but
no such effects had he witnessed. The
secret. however, leaked out. He had
been afflicted day or two with sore
on his nasal appendage, and had
placed a small sticking plaster over
1t.
During the morning Of the day in
question the plaster had dropped of,
and the deacon, seeing 1t, as he sup
posed, lying on the floor, picked 1t up
and stuck 1t on again. But, alas! he
picked up instead one of the pieces of
paper which the manufacturers of
spool cotton paste on the end of every
spool. and which read, Warranted 200

a Senator Off Guard.

The Senator sat in his library and
ga2ed into the fire. After a while he
drew a bunch of keys from his pocket
and unfastened a drawer in his writ
ing table; evidently 1t was not often
used, for the lock was rusty.
He took out small velvet case, and
opening it gazed intently into the eyes
which smiled up at his. The Senator's
own eyes grew rather misty as he
locked, and he passed his hand hastily
across them. Something fell from the
case, and he stopped to pick it up; 1t
