and who would judge the animals BY
their powers of endurance and their fit
ness for rough work, rather than by
their ability to jump steeplechase bar
,riers or to accomplish spectacular per-
formances. This may be the proper
point of view, but if the United States
army enters in international competi-
ytions Il must either stand a chance to
win or stay away altogether.

The Fortunate Capital.

Residents of this city, who have much
to be thankful for in the beauties and
diversions of the Nations Capital, are
especially fortunate in times of general
financial or industrial depressions. just
now there is presented the spectacle
of 10000 additional persons in New
England being thrown out of employ
ment owing to the closing of num-
Der of large mills According to a news
dispatch from Boston, this brings the
total of unemployed factory, mill, and
textile workers in New England up to
the stupendous figure of 100000. In
dustrial establishments of all branches
in that section of the country are clos
ing down for periods ranging from a
few weeks to three months, throwing
their army of wage-earners into en-
forced idleness.
Similar conditions occasionally obtain
in other cities, but Washington happily
escapes. This city is not, in the first
place, manufacturing center, but, more
important than all, it is the seat of gov
ernment Uncle Sam is a good pay
master. Upon the Ist and 18th of
each month his thousands of employees
receive their salaries. There may be
strikes and locl1outs and financial de-
pressions everywhere else, but in Wash
ington We pursue the even current of
our way. The waves of storms in
other States break harmlessly upon our
boundaries.

AN ARMY TRIUMPH.
Only One Case of Typhoid Reported

Only One Case of Typhoid Reported
During Texas Maneuyers.
From the New York Mail.
1t cost a big lot of money-probably
several millions of dollars-to mobilize
the American troops now encamped in
Texas, but results have already shown
that 1t was we'll spent. And for this one
reason, If not for others, the movement
has enabled medical science to demon
strate that typhoid fever, the deadliest
foe of armies in the field, is a prevent
able disease. Altogether something like
Il, 900 troops were sent to Texas, all OF
whom were inoculated with typhoid
serum. AS additional safeguards, the most
rigorous hygienic and sanitary regulations
that the medical corps could devise were
strictly enforced. Result, only one case
of typhoid fever has occurred in that en-
tire army Compare this showing with
what happened to the troops-perhaps
10000 in all-assembled in the Southern
States during the Spanish war. Among
those forces there were 5000 cases of ty
phoidt The plain truth is that the army
in Texas has achieved a magnificent vic
tory-a bloodless one, it is true, but splen-
did In its gain for humanity.

Pay Your Bills, Said Morgan.

From the Metropolitan Magazine.
There was a meeting Of the New
Haven directorate at the old Grand Cen
trai Station. Morgan entered the room.
and took his place at the foot of the
table. He greeted pleasantly and in
formally all the members Of the board,
but he said nothing He listened in
tently to the business as II came be-
fore the board, remaining taciturn. When
this business was ended, the president,
turning to Morgan, said:
"Mr. Morgan, am sure that the board
would be very glad TO hear from you,
and would be especially pleased II you
have any suggestions to make.''
Thus invited, Mr.. Morgan arose. and
said:
There is Just one thing would like
to say. I have been told that you are
very slow about paying your Just bills.
1 hear that some OF your creditors have
been held up, or STAYED of, sometimes as
long as six months. Now, think this
railroad ought to pay its just bills as
coon as they are due, and, II you haven't
the ready money in hand to pay them,

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
By A. w. MACY,
A MUCH-TRAVELED GOAT.

A MUCH-IRANEL GOAT.
About the year 1872 there died
at Mile End. England, a well in
formed goat, II travelling and see
ing the world would make 1t SO.
1t twice circumnavigated the
globe; first in the discovery ship
Dolphin, with Capt. Wallis. and
afterward in the ship Endeavor-
er. commanded by the celebrated
Capt. Cook. The Dolphin sailed
from England August %. 1855,
and returned May 20. 1853. It
visited many lands, including nu-
merous islands OF the Pacific, on
this voyage. The goat did not
remain ashore very long, for the
Endeavorer sailed from Plymouth
August 25, 1853. The vessel
touched Madeira, doubled Cape
Horn, spent six months along the
coast of New Zealand. and visited
many other strange countries. It
got back to England June IL,
iii. In the three years Cook lost
thirty of his eighty-five men, but
the goat returned In apparent
good health. Arrangements were
made to admit her to the privi-
leges OF one of the government
homes for sailors, but she did not
live to enjoy them She wore q

Sweeps through the broiling town
And stirs the trees.

Glad in our various ways

HARDWARE STORE
WAS DESTROYED

Hankinson, N. D., May 26.-John
Worner's hardware store at Great
Bend was burned to the ground caus-
a loss Of about $4,000 with insurance
to the amount of $4,000.
The building was a two-story struc-
ture occupied exclusively by the Wor-
ner stock of hardware, furniture and
caskets. The fire was first noticed
about z o'clock in the evening, short
time after the proprietor had left the
store, and the flames spread SO rap
idly that but very little of the stock
could be saved.
The fire started on the second floor
and its origin is unknown. The flames
lit up the entire town and inside Of
an hour over 800 people had assem-
bled from the surrounding country 10
view tse smoldering ruins. The George
Worner general store on the opposite
corner was saved by hard work, but
most Of the glass in the building was
broken by heat. The new chemical
engines, which had arrived but a few
days before, were used to good adj
Vantage and are credited with saving
the Geo. Worner building.
MIR. Worner's plans as to REBUILDING
will not be decided until the Insurance.
is adjusted.
