How IL Looked TO Jones.

Some time ago Percival Claude
married Belinda Beatrice. Percival
Claude was not handsome. Belinda
was not beautiful. On the day fol-
lowing the wedding two esteemed
citizens me on the street, and natu-
rally the glad event was referred to.
II suppose, Jones'" remarked one
of the pair, that you heard all about
Percival and Belinda being marri-
ed?"
"Yes," answered Jones; 81 first
heard 1t over the back fence. at the
dinner table and also at the cigar
store"
"They say" continued the other,
that it was case Of love at first
sight"
you don't really mean it," said
Jones, smilingly. 81 thought 1t was
more like a case of love is blind. -

verdun resisted in 1870 until over
whelmed at the end of October by
the re-inforcements inamen and guRs
that came to the Prussians after fall
of Metz.
The name OF "Verdun" as II Is
pronounced today in every house
hold in France is a concentrated ex-
preston of all the higher senti-
ments of the GOODNESS of stone and
mortar; there is veneration for a
superior force that may be counted
upon; there are pride, gratitude and
reinsurance, for "Verdun" has a
wider application than the name of
fortress; to the French It means
the army as well as the town, apart
from the ramparts and the moats,
that modern science has rendered
useless.

WORTHY AMBITION.

Why is life, in its glorious fame,
So apt to cause people sorrow and
shame? -sss- -
Is 1t you and with tongues so keen,
That cause many sins that are yet
unseen?
Some day unexpected this sin will
arise
And cause loved ones to be heart
broken and our friends to give
signs.
Let's begin it to-day with hearts
pure and white,
And start out with a banner of love,
truth and right,
Then with our duty. charitable deeds
and kindness,
We will march to the front and leave
wrong behind us.

Avoid Spring Colds.

into a chronic summer cough. In
such cases take a treatment of DR..

cough, checks the cold and helps
break up an attack of grippe. Its

lit takes all kinds of people to
make a world" every traveller in
Colombia soon discovers, but-un-
fortunately for Colombia-she first
shows the traveller her worst people
reserving her best for those who
visit the interiors.
The inhabitants along the Pacific
Coast are negroes, wholly without
ambition. They live in huts such as
your boy might build in your back
yard.
l have never been to the Pacific
Coast OF Colombia and never expect
to go there unless shipwrecked.
have, however, visited the WEES
tern of Atlantic Coast of Colombia.
The population of Cartegena, Santa
Marta and even Barranquilla runs
from seventy per cent to eighty per
cent negro.
The negroes are mixture with
Europeans, so they are more intel
ligent than they appear. Many have
considerable literary ability.
These negroes have a great de-
sire to be lawyers, doctors, polite
ians and newspaper men.
To employ one of them to lift
your trunk is difficult proposition,
but they will write poetry for you
by the yard.
The most interesting of the Colon
bian natives are the Indians. There
are several tribes.
The Goarjiro Indians are expert
riders and raise horses and cattle.
They trade these together with hid
es and pearls, for hardware, clothes
and the Internal rum which we ex-
port to them from the United States.
Altho these Indians are not in
creasing much in number, they are
today of more economic value than
the negroes.
Altho the casual traveller to the
coast of Colombia sees only negroes
and Indians, these are not the real
people of the country. To know the
real people of Colombia, one must
go to the interior. Here are found
a strong and able race of men, most
of whom are as white as any family
of New Workers.
Five hundred miles into the interi-
or one must go to find the cultured
Colombian people who rule the land.
These are the people whom we do
not know, but whom we have great
ly offended.
Whether or not the United States
treated Colombia fairly in connec-
nection with the Panama Canal, may
be a debatable question. Anyone,
however, who goes to Colombia and
talks with these people must admit
that they are justified in feeling
bitterly towards us.
We do not understand the Colom-
bians. They are not after money
from us. They have never black
mailed the United States and they
never will They have been ignored,
If not insulted, by our Government.
They insist that we apologize for such
treatment. ~N
am certain that until we do. the
bankers, manufacturers and mer-
chants of the United States will be
unable to do much business with CO.

neighbor.

Children Cry
FOR FlETChER'S
Q a STO
Love or Lucre.


A poor young man in Pennsylva-
MIA has recently had to make a choice
between money and matrimony. A
communicating relative died and left
him a comfortable little fortune on
the condition that he would never
wed. The youth was engaged to a
girl, but he promptly discarded her
and qualified as a perpetual celibate
under the will, saying in effect: 81
love my sweetheart, but, oh, you
plunks!"
The young mans decision was a
sordid but perhaps natural one. Fiji
ty thousand dollars and a California
ranch-the amount of the legacy
would look mighty good to most i'm
pecunious youths. Besides which,
a man might well argue that a wife
is an expensive luxury anyhow. so in
accepting the conditions of the be-
quest he would save money both ways
coming and going.
OF course, on the other hand, it
may be said that $4,000 and a
ranch are pretty poor price for
which to sell out the love of wife
and the happiness of home, and of
having little children about ones
knees.
Never to have any love but the
mercenary love of mercenary wo-
men! Never to have any home but
the barren shelter of bachelor quar-
tersl Never to feel the cuddling of
a downy head against your breast!
What lands or money can pay man
for missing these?
Why, the chief good that man
gets out of money is the pleasure of
spending it on those he loves, and If
you take away those from him his
gold is counterfeit coin. 1t is not
legal tender at the Mart of Happi-
ness.
Why does man want to buy jew
els and soft silks, and filmy laces?
To deck out the woman he loves.
Why does he want to build
beautiful and luxurious houses?
To make fitting shrine for the wo-
mon he worships. What robs his
toll of WEAKNESS, and makes his
sacrifices sweet? The knowledge
that he is keeping wife and children
soft and warm and safe in the home
nest.
The fun that a man gets out of his
labor, the precious reward that
makes it worth his wifes smiles,
in the love-look in her eyes, in the
faces of little children watching for
his return of an evening, and the
rapturuous cry Of Daddy" with
which they run to meet him.
Eliminate these and what does a
mans money buy him? The indul-
gence of vices that scar the soul and
kill the body. A few suits of cloth
es, each exactly like the other. The
Indifferent cohorts of hotel or
club. and the society of fat and te-
dious old FOUNDERS, telling endless
stories about themselves. When he
is sick-the ministrations Of a hired
nurse. When he grows old, the
paralyzing consciousness settling
about his heart that he has lived
unloved. and will die unwept.
1t is not a gay life, that of the
old bachelor, and the foolish youth
who has traded off his sweetheart
and his right to marry for a few
thousand dollars has, sold his birth
right for a mess of pottage that will
set heavily on his stomach many a
