THROUGH HIS WIFE'S EYES.

The Washington correspondent for
the New York World sent to his
paper this dispatch: Through go
ing to Fort Myer repeatedly to see
the Wright brothers fly in their
aeroplane Senator Gore, the blind
statesman from Oklahoma, is becom-
ing one of the most enthusiastic
aeronauts in Washington. Sena-
tor Cores substitute for the eyes he
lost in youth is his wife and keen
scene of hearing, to both of which
his mind is peculiarly attuned.
From them he obtains the same
thrill of excitement than Others ex-
element through frSt-hand precep-
ton. Few men in Washington are
affected by the atmosphere of an
event as is Senator Gore. 1t helps
him to comprehend the quiet words
Of his life as she explains every
movement of the aviators of the
success or failure of the machine in
starting, in maintaining itself in the
air and in descending. When all is
concluded he is as quick to applaud
as any other spectator. Mr.. Gore
Is also very fond of watching a
baseball game. He is frequent
patron of the American league games
here, where Mrs. Gore, who knows
more about baseball than do many
mems wives, helps him to follow the
play closely, although his eyes can
not distinguish night from day

ELEVEN.
DON'T CHEER. BOYS, THE POOR Eel,
LOWS ARE DYING"

1t seems hard to realize, as past
events are glanced over, that eleven
years since Admiral Cervera was con-
quered at Santiago. Yet that many
years have come and gone. That
was fateful July 8, back in 1898,
and it was grand independence
Day present to the American people
despite the great, heroic, the humane
admonition of the noble captain who
said, Don't cheer, boys; the poor
devils are dying" That mere sent
ence showed the great heart of the
American victor and their magnani-
nous spirit.
The controversy as to whether the
credit for the victory belonged to the
then Commodore Schley or the then
acting Rear Admiral Sampson was a
bitter one, but the great bulk of
American people paid tribute to Ad-
miral Schley as the victor, the hero
of Santiago, and heartbroken, Samp-
son went to his grave. Altogether
the whole controversy at the time
was unfortunate.
Another great hero of that battle
gave up his grand soul to its ma
ker brief time ago. Admiral Ger
vera, respected By all America, ac-
claimed by all as hero, loved by
all, passed away a short time ago in
Spain. Doubtless he or rather his
memory, has warmer place in the
hearts of the people of this land of
freedom. than in the hearts Of
Castilians. He was a great and
good man respected at all times
grand in defeat.-Grafton Sentinel.

BACKWARD TO THE DAYS OFBOYHOOD.

Blackberries are here in plenty,
and hundreds of gallons are being
picked in this section. The black
berry season is calculated to turn the
thoughts of the middle aged back
ward to the days of boyhood when
mother put up" the jelly and the
blackberry jam. And strange to say,
but the fruit, the jam, the preserves,
the everything that mother made,
has never been excelled or equaled
in delicious flavor. And with these
thoughts comes a hungering thirst
for a loaf of bread like mother used
to make.
