PROSPERITY BEGINS AT HOME.

Charity begins at home, says the
axiom. Charity is but one OF many
things that do. At home likewise,
prosperity begins.
The nation is a union Of states, the
state a union OF communities. If the
villages and towns and cities of this
country. with their surrounding terri
tories are busy and happy, so will the
nation be busy and happy.
The nations prosperity depends not
so much ON whether they have legis'
lation in Washington or rain some
where else as on the disposition o!
The people OF this community and of
"A thousand similar communities.
Are We doing our share? Are we do,
ing all we can to develop our commu
nifty. thereby aiding in the develop
ment Of the country as a whole?
Prosperity is not some mysterious
thing created in Washington or Wal
street and distributed to the peopl,
by our fnanciers and legislators. Pros
pcrity is something that originates o.
the prairie, in the valley, in the vii
lage, in the shop, on the farm.
Prosperity is produced not so mucl
by legislation as by industry. Th,
man who is making the most he cal
out of his farm or his foundry, hi
learning or his labor, and spending
wisely. is the man who Is making tn,
town and the nation prosperous.
Prosperity be gins at home. Let's be
gin some here.

ANOTHER STORY
or THE MAINE
A "SOlDlER OF FORTUNE" CON-
DEMNED TO DEATH, PRESSES
BUTTON AND GAINS LIBERTY.

New York, June 15,-5That George
d. Boynton, soldier OF fortlne,
condemned to death in Havana, blew
up the Maine in Havana Harbor, for
which act he was given his freedom,
is secret information which has been
brought 10 the United States secret
service and which now is being in
vestigated by the government.
The Spanards," said the inform
ant to Chief Wilkie of the secret serv-
ice. were entirely unprepared for the
visit of the Maine, which was sent to
Havana Suddenly and without warn
ing. Consequently, there was no mine
attached to the buoy at which she
was anchored, though it was stated
that one would have been placed
there if it had been so much as sus-
the harbor, she had the city and its
defenses at her mercy, for all of the
modern guns in the surrounding forti-
tications faced the sea and none could
be brought to bear on her.
Captain General Blanco and his
staff did not relish having a hostile
warship in such an advantageous po-
sition in the event of war with the
United States, which they then re-
garded as at least possibility, and II
was decided to blow her up, under
such conditions as might make it ap-
pear she had been destroyed by an
accidental explosion of her own maga
zines. A large boiler from the navy
yard was taken to the arsenal and
filed with powder. 1t was provided
with a mechanism by which it could
be exploded by electricity and was
then Theoretically sealed.
The boiler was lashed In a sling
under a lighter, which was lowed
across the DOW of the Maine at nj ght.
When the lighter was directly in front
OF the battleship the lines which held
the boiler were cut and it dropped
/ into the mud. The wire by which the
mine was to be exploded was led to
| tine end of the Machina wharf. and il
was then c question of waiting until
shift in the tide brought the war
ship over the boiler and of selecting
someone to throw the switch that
would set the mine off at the proper
time.
THE Spaniards then fixed on Boyn-
ton as the person to set off the mine.
He had been captured shortly before
while conducting a filibustering eXpe-
dition for the Cubans, whom he had
aided during the ten years war. and
was then imprisoned in Cabanas fort
ress. According to the story he was
tried and sentenced to death but was
offered life and liberty if he would
press the button that was to destroy
the Maine and swear never to reveal
the secret.
He accepted these terms and on
the night of February u, 1898, when
the Maine swung around until her
bow was directly over the mine, with
the keel only three or four feet above
it, he was taken to the Machina wharf
he threw the switch that caused the
EXPLOSION. Then he was set free and
left Cuba"
Such was the story the SPY told the
secret service. Chief Wilkie and his
sleuths worked on it long time.
What Wilkie found in his inyestiga-
tion is not known.
