THE REAL HERO OF SANTIAGO.

Mr.. Arthur Bird, of New York,
was sent to Spain to present to Ad.
mlral Cervera a memorial signed by
many distinguished Americans ex-
pressive of their appreciation of his
treatment of Hobson and his men at
Santiago. In a letter to the New
York IFibH1se, Mr.. Bird saws that
Cervera was greatly affected by this
testimonial of admiration and esteem.
1t was a graceful thing to do and
the old admiral deserves it. Saw
what we may of our own brave men
the real hero of Santiago was Ad,
miral Cervera.
He went to what he knew to be
certain destruction for his fleet and
probably death for himself without
the tremor of an eye-lid. And through
the bitter days that came after, he
bore himself with a dignity that won
the hearts or the American people.

A WISE BUsINEss DEAL.

Mr.. James Brinkley prominent farmer
living near Drivers In Nanesmond county
died recently while I'm the prime of life. ana
his death illustrates fOrcibly the importance
OF certain precautions in business matter,
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men In the BUSH ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details. and have ready money to cover delays
involved. as well as to continue operations.
MIR. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active in business
and seldom had a large balance In bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence.
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had lac
not forseen such difficulties and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out u policy of life insurance in
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix in payment of this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw worth
several times the amount to his family In the
protection which it afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt OF request we will send pam
phlet describing PheniT policies.

FISHING SCHOONER TAKES FIRE.

The three-masted schooner, Jose
Olaverri, bound from Long Island
for Savannah, with n cargo of $50
tons of fish scrap, arrived in Norfolk
recently with her cargo afire. The
vessel was becalmed with some ninety
others off Cape Hatteras, where a
peculiar current is reported to be
running, and which has caused a
large number of sailing vessels to be
stalled. The schooner managed to
get a bit up the coast, and when near
Cape Henry smoke was seen coming
out Of the hold. When the matches
were unfastened the smoke that
poured out of the hold was so dense
that the crew was almost overcome.
There was no fire-fighting facilities
on the vessel, it is reported, and the
captain determined that before he
would abandon the vessel he would
take his chances in racing in to port.
Fortunately the wind favored him.
and he crowded on all sail. In the
meantime the fire apparently was in
creasing. The matches were again
made fast, and what water was
aboard and that secured from the sea
was thrown on the decks to keep
them wet. After al exciting trip
the schooner reached port and tied
up at the docks of the Pocomoke
Guano Company. The crew were
overworked and were compelled TO
come ashore.
AS soon as the vessel had tied up
volunteers went to work and sue
ceeded In getting a large portion of
the burned cargo out. Although
considerable woodwork on the
schooner was burned, the vessel was
not seriously damaged, and will con-
tinue on her voyage after repairs and
reloading.
The cause of the fire is reported to
have been due to spontaneous COM
bustion. BY bringing the vessel into
port the captain saved large salvage
fees.
Speaking of the fleet Of schooners
detained north of Cape Hatteras by
an alleged "mysterious current"
Captain Gardner, of the Morgan
liner El Norte, which arrived at
New York from Galveston last week,
said: This talk of new and strange
current off Hatteras is all rot. The
long spell of southwesterly winds has
swept the inshore edge Of the Stream
mp agsinst the shoals, and that
is what some shippers call mysteri-

Minutes Are Always Precious.

Read good newspaper story the
other day about man who 5ust
missed winning $l05,OOO. He start
ed from his Wall Street office for the
race track; was delayed by break
down on the "L" road; got excited
over the delay, got on the wrong
car line, missed the train; and got
to the track just in time to hear the
cry. They're off,"
Truly, minutes were precious; one
minute was worth to him about
$lO5,O00. Please notice that when
the breakdown occurred he got rat
tied. That's where he lost. Control
of his head just then would have
made for him about $4,000
Better think it over. Just as |
have always said; you cannot be
careless in trifles and be careful IN
matters of great Importance.

DOES IT PAVE

He is farmer 60 years of age and
rich. His principles have always
been to take up everything in sight,
more land, larger crops, more build
ings. His gait has been the "get
there" that kills. Overwork killed
his third wife five years ago. His
sons slid away from home at the first
opportunity, his daughter married an
old stick of a man Just to get away
from home. His sons and worthless
son-in-law have engaged their lawyers
and are now sitting on the fence like
buzzards waiting for the old man to
die so they can divide his wealth
among them. There will be a large
funeral one of these days, 20 carriages
and all that will be the end of the
old man. Does it pay to work night
and day, save up lot of money and
never spend cent? Does it?.Er.

HOW BUSINESS MEN WORK

The demand upon the time of
business men is increasing with
every age. From the Rockefellers
and Goulds down to the ticket agents
of railroads, embracing thousands of
callings, privacy is sought, to give
time for accomplishing the duties
devolving upon them. Here is a
good article showing how this is
done in one way or another in every
calling:
A small, square vestibule, with a
narrow counter, breast high, at one
end and a closed door with a ground
glass window patel at one side. 1t
is the entrance to the Office Of a
railway magnate who sees possibly
one out of every fifty that seek him.
A pressure of the electric button is
followed by the quick opening of
the window panel in the door, and a
coldly polite, "Who is it you wish
to see?" salutes the ear of the visitor.
lis Mr.. George j. Gould in?"
"Write the nature of your business
on your card, pleasep'
This admonition being obeyed,
the card ia taken in at the window
and the voice murmurg 81 will see
if Mr.. Gould is in." The window
shuts with click, but in a minute
or two the door opens and sedate,
sharp-eyed man appears with the
card In his hand. This is A. Ii.
Calef, secretary of various Gould cor.
porations and the confidential sentinel
who guards George j. Gould from all
kinds of intrusions. No person
whom the busy multi-niillionaire
does not actually want to see gets
by Mr.. Calef. The usual formula
is this:
"You desire to see Mr.. Gould
about =?
Yes, if possible"
"Could you not as well transact
your business with me? Mr.. Gould
is very busy"
"Not exactly. l would like to
see Mr.. Gould personally"
81 am very sorry, but he is now
occupied and will not have
moment to spare today"
81 might call tomorrow" iuterro-
gatively.
"As you please" and with
courteous bow Mr.. Calef withdraws
to the inner Office. Should the
applicant for an interview repeat
his visit he would have no better
luck. After Mr.. CaIef has once
proposed that callers business be
transacted with him that caller prac-
tically has no chance of seeing Mr..
Gould. 1t is Mr.. Calef's business to
know just whom his employer desires
to see and such personages are ad-
mitted with prompt cordiality. Men
of millions and men of high rank,
professionally and socially, are fire.
quently "held mp" by Mr.. Calef, not
from any lack of respect, but because
the business demands on Mr.. Gould's
time are imperative. His office rou-
tine is such that nearly all of his
daily visitors meet him by appoint
ment.

Advent of the English Sparrow.

The Topeka Journal has an ac-
couat of the first English sparrows
brought to Kansas. In 1864 f. w.
Giles conceived the idea of importing
some of these birds. He shipped in
2S of them. They were confined in
cages at his place in Topeka until all
but five had died. At last the five
were turned loose to take their
chances of life or death, though Giles
had no hope that they would live.
They fooled him. They took mp
their home in the neighborhood. The
following autu mn there were IL birds.
The second season found 90 and the
third summer about 800. Then they
increased so fast that no account
could be kept, and in the 25 years
which followed they spread all over
the West-Ransas city Journal.

A BIRD AND A WEED.

The mourning dove is seldom
thought of along the lines of the
utilities. 1t is familiar in song and
poetry as an emblem of fidelity, gen.
tleness and the tender passion, being
a favorite theme with those senti
mental writer's whose mission it is
to sing of Whispering lovers and
amorous swains. The dove is exalted
above all birds in the scriptures
having obtained immortal fame as
the bearer of the olive branch to the
stranded ark and as the embodiment
of the Holy Ghost at the time of
Christ's baptism in the Jordan. 1t
derives its name from it's plaintive
cooling which, to those who have
learned to associate this sound with
love-making, rather than lament. is
one OF the sweetest of the voices of
nature. But there is practical side
to the dove which gives it great
economic value and makes it an in
valuable aid to agriculture. Weeds.
as all know, are not only nuisances
of themselves but among the worst
enemies Of the husbandmen and the
gardener. This truth is realized by
every one after a hard DAYS work
with hoe or cultivat to ey terminate
noxious weeds, while contemplating
his blistered hands, aching back and
sweating brow. He is then in full
mood to appreciate the poets curse
on this fell destroyer of vegetable life:
1t wss only seed that fell,
A downy and tiny seed,
And few that saw II could tell
What an evil and pestilent weed
Would spring frcm that little sphere,
With power TO spread at the root
Till 1t choked out all blossoms of cheer
And cut off all allpromise of fruit.
While under the influence of this
reading, the weary farmer will doubt.
less learn with pleasure that nature
has provided no weed ex terminator
equal to the gentle bird so celebrated
in amatory song and sen ntimenta tai
verse. Phe dove, it seems, has a
special fonGness for weed seeds as
food. 1t eats practically no animal
matter at all.

last week by National Democratic
Chairman Taggart when he selected

Committee along with Mr.. Sheehan,

AS a political organizer and manager
Senator Martins ability is recog-

be safely counted on for much valu-

MY STRONG TOWER.

(By Scion L. GoodeD
Stand fast, my dear, let hope adorn
Thy silver-erested brow;
Behold, the day is setting clear,
And love hath kept his VOW.
The windows of the far-off sky
Reflect their golden CLEANS
Which pierce the shadows of the night
To guide thee In thy dreams
When trouble came mid tempest's roar
And lighsning's lurid glare;
When my weak soul was bowed with fear
And sought protecting care;
Thou vert to me shelterlug rock,
A shadowed calm retreat,
For thou vert shod with constancy
On thine unwearying feet.
When others tainted by the way
My dear, thou vert so brave,
And when the tempter came to thee
Thy strong arm slew the knave.
Now while at me the demons shafts
Are hurled with mocking glee
fly, o love, to thy dear breast
To rest secure with thee.
