sooner or later.
Here we are. The United States
makes treaty. A state upsets it.
The foreign government calls for an
explanation. The president of the
United States, through his secretary
of state, replies, "Yes, this govern

one of the states that make up this
government says that it doesn't 60"
What a humihating position that

calypso. The marine lantern swing
ing overhead added a dizzy shifting
Of light and shade to the picture. The
form of the cannon disappeared in the
violence of its course, and it looked
now black in the light, now mystic
riously white in the darkness.
Suddenly, in the midst of the mac
cessible ring, where the escaped can
non was leaping, man was seen to
appear, with an iron bar in his hand.
He was the author of the castastro-
phe, the captain of the gun, guilty of
criminal carelessness, and the cause of
the accident, the master of the car
ronade. Having done the mischief,
he was anxious to repair it. He had
seized the iron bar in one hand, a
tiller-rope with e slip-noose in the
other, and jumped down the hatchway
to the gun deck
Then began an awful sight: Ii
tanie scene; the contest between gun
and gunner; the battle of matter and
intelligence, the duel between man and
the inanimate.
The man stationed himself in a cor
ner, and with bar and rope in his
two hands, he leaned against one of
the posts, and livid, calm, tragic, as
if rooted to the deck, he waited
He waited for the canon to pass by
him.
The gunner knew his gun, and it
seemed to him as if the gun ought to
know him. He had lived long with
it. How many times he had thrust
his hand into it's mouth 1t was his
own familiar monster. He began to
speak to it as it it were his dog.
Come" he said. Perhaps he
loved it.
He seemed to wish it to come to
him,
But to come to him was to come
upon him. And then he would be
lost How could he avoid being crush
ed? That was the question. All
looked on in terror

COCA COLA HABIT, a GHOST.

We have all heard Of ghosts, but none
Of US have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends:" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds Of thousands Of
drug-habit cases. including opium, NOR
phine. cocaine, alcohol. etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca-Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute q
habit In the true sense Of the word. Al
though millions of glasses Of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year. no ,Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves WIS.,
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment OF drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw.
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see It advertised and thereafter
because 1t tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get 1t and contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get 1t.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug. II you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be SO unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the

Continues His Outdoor Sports.
Business gave way often to sport
and pleasure, too, as OF old, when poll

in the woods; and again day or two

the river. and drawing the seine for
sheepsheads upon the bar At Cedar

Even politics was mixed with diver

like occasions, OF whatever kind the
business Of the assembly was likely

the plot. In 1910 he was with Cover
nor Eden of North Carolina at the
Jockey club races in Philadelphia. no
doubt relieved by the news that all
but the tea tax had been repealed.
The next year 1t was the races In
Annapolis that claimed him; and in
1873 Jacky Custis held him again at
Philadelphia on the same errand.
It was wholesome to be thus calmly
in pursuit Of diversion in the inter.
valB Of trying business. 1t bespoke a
hearty life and a fine balance in the
man.
There was one matter to which
Washington felt 1t his bounded duty
as a soldier and a man Of honor to
devote his time and energies, whether
politics pressed or not. A grant Of
two hundred Thousand acres Of the
western lands had been promised by
the government OF the Colony to those
who enlisted for the war against the
French and Indians in 1874; but noth-
Ing had ever been done to fulhll the
promise. and Washington undertook
to act as agent for his comrades In
the business.

he did not stop till he had gone close
three hundred miles beyond Fort Pitt.
And when he was home again no one
in the government who could lend a
hand in the matter got any peace
from the stirring. thorough man until
the business was put finally into
shape.
There was a tidy profit In the grant
for himself; for his own share was
large, and he providently bought, be-
sides, the shares of others who were
unwilling to spend or cooperate in the
matter. But there were months upon

The Ell Suenn, which was to have sailed for Cordova toduy, will not go for some days. Only 13 people had taken tickets today for the new strike and 20 are required. Tho fact that tickets were not taken In greater quantities Is due to the belief which Is now general that the strike Is not by any means so rich as It's advertisers tried to make 1t appear. More infor- nation is waited and the amount which has come shows only that the strike has SO far been confined to one claim.
