masters, dated 1000. hanging some 90
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was

Concerning the cheese that made
Limburg famous a bulletin of the Ma
tonal Geographic society quotes a
communication from William Wisner
Chaplin as follows:
"Limburg is sometimes called the
garden of Holland. OF the celebrated
relish known as Limburger cheese it
has long been query how an article
of food made from delicious material
and considered such delicacy can
possess so obnoxious an odor and still
retain its self-respect. This popularity
has made Limburger cheese responsi-
Bile for many amusing incidents.
"A Dutch-American rural citizen once
went to town to make some purchases,
among which was some of this odorif-
erous commodity. For convenience he
placed it in long box in the wagon

on the road, an inquisitive acquaint.

box contained.

After all. 1t took four months after
the signing of the arnistice to sign a
treaty with Spain after the Spanish
war. And that was comparatively
simple affair with only two nations In
volved. The protocol, or amistice,
was signed on August -, 1898. and
the treaty signed on December 10
four months lacking two days from
the ceasing of hostiities. The treaty
was not ratified by the senate until
April II of 1890. So, theoretically, we
were at war with Spain for year
lacking II few days, although actual mil.
itary operations did not last many
days over three months.
The principal events Of the Spanish
American war most people remember.
War was declared by Spain on April
"a and by the United States on April
25. There was n curious little eXhi-
bItion of "Castilian pride" about that.
United States was going to declare war
the next day and promptly declared 1t
herself. Another interesting point is
that the United States began the
blockade of a part only Of the Cuban
coast at first and began 1t two days
before Spain declared war and three
days before we declared it. And the
American proclamation of war was
made retroactive to April 81. Dewey
entered Manila bay May / and de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet there.
Cervera's fleet got into Santiago on
May 10, where it was bottled up by
the fleet under Sampson and Schley-
Sampson being senior officer. The
American expedition landed at Dali
quiri June 20-22. and the battles of Ell
Caney and San Juan Hill took place
on July 1-2. On July the Spanish
fleet attempted to escape and was de-
stroyed In the naval battle of Santi-
ago. Santiago surrendered on July
II and the campaign In Porto Rico be-
gan on July 25. and was in progress at
the signing of the armistice. Manila
was captured on August l3, the day
after the protocol was signed. Ma
nila had been practically at the mercy
Of the Americans since the May morn

question of getting American troops
there to occupy the place In sufficient
force.

Poland, having been taken off the

AS late rs 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common

her king, John Sobieski, marching with

Vienna and saved Europe from being
overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus

kings came to an end and Poland
adopted system of elective kings, and

badly and contributed to the downfall
Of the nation. The Polish diet elected

sat only six weeks each year and its

recognized right of any mobiles con-

will by the power of arms. Naturally
The result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing Prus-
