February 22nd, 1904.
1t has been said that there is nothing
like success but success. But the wore
Is deceptive.
Thirty-five years ago, had you glazed
over the headlines OF the worlds news
papers, you would have seen in one col

Fiske. All! but read the headlines one
morning few years later: "SHOT-AI
THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS-JAS.
FISKE.-THE CONSEQUENCES OF
BRAZEN AND DISREPUTABLE
CONDUCT"
As we see the last thirty or forty years
have buried such successes beneath the
waves Of careless obloquy, we wonder
what it means. But few decades later
we see a figure that once held high
place in governmental circles, seemingly
go down in defeat. Deprived OF Official
place by party manipulation, financial

lines, "MAJOR MCKINLEY, THE

When we talk across an ocean of 5000
miles with our friends on the other side,
we think with immense gratitude on
that one man, who made fifty voyages
across the Atlantic, who spent so many
years OF his life in what seemed fruitless
toll, receiving sneers from the people
from on all sides, defeat after defeat
came to him, yet when everything look
ed darkest for his great enterprise his
courage never tagged him for an instant.
And, at last, the spirit Of this great and
brave man, Cyrus w. Field, was re-
warded
My friends, these last two victories
are the ones Americans admire and
covet; and, looking out upon that period
made .illustrious by such men as these
whose natal day we celebrate, we behold.
one figure of whom history reioices to
proclaim his defeats were victories.
This man, we may say, was George
Washington's right hand man.
Washington was ever careful in his
friendship, yet he gave his confidence
unqualified TO this man, Nathaniel
Greene. There was no man that he
trusted more; there was no one SO init
mate with his plans and objects; and
whenever an object was to be done to
which great responsibility was attached,
Nathaniel Green was the man to be re-
lied upon. No one was more able to in
fuence Congress on any vital subject;
and, when anything was given him to
do, it was done.
When Green received command on
Long Island, the enemy's assault was
expected at any moment, He began at
once to prepare for them; every precau
ton was to insure safety and success
but, in the midst Of these employment,
Green was seized with a severe sickness,
and there, as he lay between life and

When the butter won,

1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-

to their wants.
For all weak and pale and

is the most satisfactory treat

IisheG. 1t is believed that the hole which
resulted in flooding one of the watertight

Following closely upon the order issued
by the retiring commandment, Rear Adj

patriotism Of the employees to protect the

workman in the yards was arrested.
The arrest caused unusual excitement,
and threats of summary punishment were
made although later it was found that
the affair was unimportant.
Severe questioning brought the state
ment that his name was William Carey,
80 years old, and that he had been
machinist in the yard and employed on
the battleship Indiana for the last eight
months. He gave the name of his fore

BICYCLE RIDER HAS
FIGHT WITH AN OWL.
Wheelman Is Badly Scratched in an En-
counter with Fierce Bird-Unex-
pected Catch of Fish.

Appleton, Wis, Oct 4.-ISpecial. IA
few nights ago Albert Karwick of Grand
Chute was riding along the country road
at night when an owl, which was attract
ed by his headlight, attacked his dog
which was following close behind the
wheel. The first the rider knew of it
was when he heard the yells of the dog,
and noticed the bird had its claws buried
in the dogs skin. After a few minutes
fight, the dog freed himself and the bird
made for Karwick and the fight became
so fierce that it was necessary for him
to leave his wheel and seek club to
tight with. He was considerably
scratched during the encounter. 1t was
thought at the time that it was an eagle,
but two days later an owl, whose wings
measured feet from tip to tip, was
shot near the scene of the fight and it is
believed to be the one which attacked the
man and dog.
While S. a. Whedon was passing out
of the Menasha river into Lake Winneba-
go in his gasoline launch, the propeller
became entangled, and an investigation
proved that the wheel had picked up an
Illegally set net containing ninety-seven
fish of all varieties Mr.. Whedon cut the
net into pieces so that the fish pirates
could not use it again.

Auguste Bartholdi was born in Colmar,
Alsace. He was intended for q lawyer,
but AIRY Scheffer friend of the family,
recognized the artistic abilities in the lad

New York harbor, presented to the Unit
fed States by France, was his work, and
he also did the Lion de Belfort At the
presentation of the great statue now
standing at the entrance of the New
