Gen. Skaters death has vecailed to
the public memory little but criticism.
The mans real achievements have been
all but forgotten in the resentment over
what seemed a needless loss OF life in
the Spanish war. 1t is true that Shaf-
ter exhibited an unfortunate lack Of
experience and skill in the protective
side of warfare; but 1t may be ques-
toned whether any other American
commanding officer Of that day would
have done better in coping, unprepared,
with the real enemies, climate, bad
food and fever, says Ridgway's weekly.
And, in spite of all, in his surly. tact
less, patient fashion he did what lie
was sent to do in Cuba. This habit Of
performing the allotted task was the
keynote of Skaters character in his
many years Of invariably successful
and valuable Indian campaigning, dur
ing which the public never heard of
him. Tt was his misfortune that his
brilliant successes should have been ac-
complished in the obscure places of the
earth; his errors committed in the
blaze Of the limelight. Whatever the
public, dckle and often ungrateful, may
think of him, his fellows in the service
will remember him with honor as a
brave, honest, sincere and generally etti-
cient public servant

both OF paternal interest In the farm

there is a disquisitiOn on the water

vices for distributing the waer through
the house. Then there is a discussion
of the location Of the house and of Gel

on the question Of plumbing, taking In

by directions for the disposal OF ashes,
garbage and miscellaneous refuse, and
by dissertation on heating systems,
after which examples are gwen OF

possibility of introducing them into

MISSING THE LOCAL NEWS.

Miss Cumnock was a district visitor
who went about her work with the
same indiscriminating enthusiasm
which carried her through her other
social and philanthropic enterprises.
She found at the outset one of the

family, "and 1 shall read her all The

fervor, answered him.

said. eagerly. Lovely! And now
you've come to put the finishing touch
to it. Good-by, Mrs. Higgins!'
"Good-by!" said the old woman; and
then as the door closed she turned her
bright eyes to the minister.

There Is a good deal Of talk at times
about British conservatism in business
matters, but they are not half as back
ward In some matters as Americans,
who plume themselves on their goahead-
itiveness. From present appearances
the agitation In England over the adop-
ton Of the metric system Is likely to
bear fruit much sooner in that country
than In the United States. The old
argument about the difficulty of ad-
tusting accepted standards to the me-
trio system is found to be less formid-
able than represented and many big
firms have, as a matter of Individual
enterprise, prepared tables which will
permit the prompt translation into me-
trio terms of their products.
