The Oid-rashioned Bonnet.

How dear to my heart Is the old-fash-
toned bonnet,
The old fashioned bonnet Nell used
to wear;
Without any plums and red cherries
stuck on it
The bonnet that didn't require phony
hair.
The dishpan effect may be stylish and
stunning,
The waste paper basket that's lately
come in
May be quite the rage and recherche
and cunning,
But give me the hat she tied under
her chin.

Encouraging Girls.

If girls are encouraged in doing
housework, they are more apt to have
a liking for it. The little girl is taught
how to wipe dishes, place the chairs.

Later she will want to cook and she
can start by boiling potatoes, baking
potatoes, cooking cereals, frying eggs
and bacon. Gradually she can be-
taught how to clean vegetables, and
all of these little things add to her
knowledge of kitchen work. Don't
scold her if she makes a mistake. It
is a damper to her enthusiasm. The
little beginner should not feel that the
kitchen is place where she is more
liable to receive seedlings than else
where, or 1t will be only natural for
her to try and shun it. A child has
the natural desire to want to work or
learn the rudiments, and the mother
who notes all of this, teaches what is
to be learned, yet fails to add the en-
couraging words, will not find a very
ambitious co-worker. The mother who

On that night he swan the entire distance around the bay, landing and then to get a closer look at the enemys water front Notifications He did this unseen of any sentinel If discovery had come it meant almost certain death to the swimmer. He came back to his starting point with full knowledge of the strength of the Spaniards in heavy guns, and when the time for the assault came, the infor- nation was of priceless service.
 Gen. Bell was called on while in the Philip pines to end the in Batangas. He ended it and in ending it he took the only possible "a course that the civilians at a distance from the fighting denounced altogether too severe Bell was called a second Weyler, and a second duke of Alva, but when full knowledge came o his operations and of the craft and horrid cruelty of the natives whom he was fighting criticism died Of his experience and of the criticism he said in letter to friend:
 Knowing my disposition and kindly feeling toward the natives full well, you will have no diff fcuty in understanding that the necessity for se- were measures has been a source of distress to me The only consolation 1 derive is by keeping my thoughts on the end and object ir Fiew.' When one has worked faithfully, consc entiopsly, and unselfshly for his country four years, without relaxation or rest it is somewhat discouraging, not to say distressing, to find that even seme ef his-own countrymen appear to have no confidence in his motives judgment or integ-

 If were to come there is no army doubt. although he is far from being the ranking officer of the service. that Gen. Bell would be given the chief command of the field forces.
 It needs neither the bearing the uniform of Lieut.. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee (retired), to show that he is soldier. You see it in his face. His expression is at once mild and aggressive, and the eye is purposeful Gen. Chaffees name comes most readily to the lips when is asked to name typical American soldier.
 The former chief of staff of the army was

was spurred by the knowledge that the soldiers of other nations were to take part in the relief ex- nedition and he wished the men of his own coun- try to show themselves worthy ln the slghl or the men of other countries
 They did show themselves worthy, aad they re- sponded to the call of their commander with an alacrity that made the American leaders instead of followers in that march beset with difficulties and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war fare.
 There are in the army to-day who firmly believe that Gen. Chaffee did not sleep an hour during the march to Picking. The soldiers who made the march declare that the nights in China are black; that it is impossible to anything at all without the aid of artificial light, and these in the biyouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for precautionary There definite knowledge of the forces that might be in the path of the expedition and no knew what surprises the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee his soldiers say, constituted himself sentinel who refused to be relieved from guard, and through the nights he alert and watching and through the days he alert and marching.
 There are stories by the scores of men who are supposed to bear charmed lives. The hero of the book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds rain, and in the reading of it one finds it hard to believe that any truth could be stranger than this fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear charmed life he has the largest allowance of luck that has fallen to any one
 Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to him for galantry in the civil war service and two for galantry in battles with the Indians. He once led cavalry charge rough and precipitous bluffs where cavalry charge thought to be a feat well-nigh impossible.
 He rode at the head of his men straight into body of armed Indians, scattering them but not until they had poured yolley after voey into Chaf. fees oncoming command. That charge gave the soldier,hi> >brevet commission as a lieutenant colonel
 When the Spanish-American broke out Chafee was made a brigadier general of volun- teers He was in the very thick of the fighting ln front of Santiago. Capt. Arthur Lee British army officer detailed by his government to watch the field operations in Cuba attached himself to the headquarters of Gen. Chaffee. Capt. Lee wrote a story about the campaign in (which he paid to Gen. Chafee the highest tribute that it is possible for one soldier to pay to another.

things from Gen ChaSee. That ob- ject lesson doubtless has had some influence in modifying the thought which the orientals held that they could whip the Americans out of hand. Gen. Chaffee was in command of the expedition which went to the relief of the beleaguered embassies at Peking. Japanese officers and men saw him there. The general won a fame in China which is not confined to the American continent
 The generals of Europe have giv- en testimony that AdGa R. Chaffee is a great soldier. Orders to take command of the Chinese expedition reached Gen. Chaffee while he was at Nagasaki on board a steamer which was to take him to the Phil ippines The order was unexpected, and the general had practically no chance for campaign preparations. He was to go into strange land, to lead an expedition against strange people, and not only was it expected of him that he be successful, but that success be won quickly, for the lives of many Americans were in (.anger within sight of the walls of he Forbidden City"

 Straight into the village went Bell at the head of his men. Dawn streaks were beginning to show in the sky, but the warriors were asleen past the ordinary waking for were not the sen tlnels posted, and were they not bound by every tradition of tribal honor to be awake and watch full?
 Lieut.. Bell had given his men orders The viii lage was cordoned with troops and there wasn't a mousehoe of escape Bell has a whimsical humor.

The three became boys again, and they rammed the piece full of powder and grass wadding after the man. of loading Fourth of July cannon on the village green in the home land.

AS the joker put it. he is a Bell who knows when to ring off He avoids the sins Of silence and of speech, wherein he shows that he is wiser in his generation than of his prede- cessors were in their generation.
 When his promotion came the chief of stan jumped from captaincy to brgadier general ship, and his tremendous rank stride did not bring forth one word of criticism from soldier or civi- lian Since then he has become major general. The army officers who were jumped said that Bell earned his promotion and that if other pro- motions were, like his, based solely service quality, there would be no heart burnings under the bouses

He had not been in, the islands long before he was put in command of volunteer force composed almost wholly of regulars whose terms of enlistment had ex- pired, but who were willing to take on a short term of duty to help in the clearing up of the work which they aided in starting.
 Back in one of the provinces was a band of Tagalogs who had given the government forces all kinds of trou- ble. One of their chief villages was located" and Gen. Bell with his fol- lowing of old campaigners took the trail for it's capture. The command ing officer had been through cam paigns against the Sioux, the Apaches. and other tribes of the mountains and plains, and taken more than one leaf from the book of knowledge of savage warfare.
 Guides led the force to the vicin- ity of the Tagalog village Night fell and the Tagalogs were all unsus- picious of the approach of the white enemy. At three o'clock in the morn ing, when sleep always hangs heavy on the eyes, Bell led his men toward the village. The Tagalogs had sentineIs posted along an outlying line. After the manner of the people of the plains the soldiers crept silently between the plckets, only one of whom was vigi- lant enough to detect the presence of the enemy. He was silenced before he

Only Objection to Pensacola

noUncement:

ment that in future the battle prdc-
tice Of the fleet be held in rough wa

Some years ago, Pensacola was
the scene of the annual rem
devious of the Atlantic war ships
for maneuvers and target prac-
tice. This rendezvous was finally
changed, however, on the ground that
Tho Gulf waters were too rough, and
Guantanamo was selected because 1t
was said that the waters were
smoother there
This last order of the navy depart

previously have existed against Pen

pie of this section. DR.. Eiots views
on the race question are more radi-

advanced thinkers, while his express

But it sets one a-thinking, just as
any opinion coming fTsm sucn source

The chief argument the learned doc

that such an institution inteTferes
with the development Of quality in
