M., to a Denver I'ost man. "You know, New Mexico went wild over the Spanish war, and, I muHt nay, that never was put i lotlsm more plentifully and freely illHpliiyed thttn In our own terri tory, liut after the war we were all Im pressed liy the multiplicity of 'comrades' that bcc;ime everywhere evident. "lng after the war wag over and peace reigned 11 nil Spanish money rattled in our Uncle Samuel's pockets, one of the "com rades' got Into trouble. He had allowed his temper to gel the better of him, and. in the heat of argument he shot and killed a man. Il w.m not well-to-do, thin 'comrade,' hut he hail friend. Among the moat prom inent of these in New Mexico wan Major W. II. H. IJcwellyn. The 'comrade' applied to him anil the major promised to do what he could, but feared that that would not be much. "Ho the 'comrade' wrote to the greatest Of all the fighters who had Rone up Han Juan hill with him: " 'Hear Comrade, Rooaevelt,' he wrote, 'I have been unlucky. 1 have had to kill a man, and -I'm broke, l'lca.'e send me fWO to defend myself,' and he finned his Dame.

" When Senator Depew was at Syracusa recently, relates the New York Sun, he dl ctissed with ex -lieutenant Governor Tim othy I ' Woodruff some mutters of a hoc la I -IMillllciil character, the exact nature of which In Irrelevant to thin anecdote. One migKestion which the senator made, how ever, resulted In Mr. Woodruff getting up right early next morning. That point the 'senator approached with typical diplomacy. "You young fellow of today like to He alied mornings," raid the senator. "When you're old you'll want to rise early so that you can- crowd aa much life an possible into each day." "Oh! getting up la easy after you're once awake,"!" suld Mr. Woodruff. "It's shak ing the-sleep off at first that's hard. 1 shan't jiilud it at all, senator, if the bell boy get me thoroughly awake." "I will see that you are called," said the senator. "That will be all right." A naturally suspicious person might have seen a glint of fun m the senator's eye. Mr. Woodruff Isn't HUsplciuuH. He hurried uway with great things in mind for the State fair. Aa every one knows, the railroads run right through the heart of Syracuse, Hissing almost under the eavea of all the principal hotels. The following morning, as the sun was at ltd early chore of sweeping the blue mist away from the hills around Syracuse, a New Yrk Central passenger train halted besides the Yatea hotel. Suddenly from Its whistle come n wall aa If all the lost souls since the discovery of the salt licks had pitched their sorrows Into the one screech. The blg-tongued bell clanged and a cloud nf steam went. fsom the discharge valves. Heads showed at the windows, bearded faces of grangers and feminine faces above bits of night gowns threaded with baby ribbon, lx-aning out of the cab window, the engineer watched these faces until he spied a very sleepy man" in Nile-green pujiunaa Then lie yelled: "Mr. Woodruff." The man In the ia Jama nodded. "Senator Depew's compli ments, and It's o'clock," said the engineer, and, oppntng the throttle, he sped on. lie In a traveling man, much away from home, and known among his Germantown friends to be somewhat sporty, relates the l'hlladelphlu Ledger. Hut he has a wife of whom be Is very fond, and he usually makes a good dual of "fuss" when he starts on a long journey. The other evening, before leaving his wife on the veranda, he said: "Now, my dear, when I am away you will look every night at that tar and think of me?" "Indeed. I will." replied the wife, with feeling. "If I need anything to remind me of you It would be that very star." "Why, dear?" he asked. $, .Happily It haa proved untrue that William llagclssen, the American consul at Ueyroot, Turkey, had been assassinated. Mr. Magels fm is a popular man among those who know him, an athlete and Is not afraid of meeting any living man on equal terms. An acquaintance of the consul's, who knows him well, speaks thus of him; "Last April I 'spent three weeks in Bey root, and, meeting Mr. Magelasen the first day, I saw a great deal of him and came tp know hlin very Intimately. The news of his murder is a . great shock to me, and yet In a 'way I may say that I am not al toajether surprised, knowing Mr. Uaget. 1C & $ & & ft & & ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft A ...Visitors to... -Bar Ben FAIR WELCOME.

The vice consul was a splendid phypical specimen of a man. He was unusually tall and of large frame. Hailing from Minnesota, he pis sessed all the characteristic daring and nerve of the westerner. He was absolutely feurless and his disregard for personal dan ger amounted almost to recklessness. For these reasons he was known and beloved by all Europeans along the Syrian coast as far south as Alexandria, and perhaps for the same reason he Invoked the enmity of the natives." Chaplain Kdward Vattman, V. B. A., recently returned to Washington from the Philippines, and relates with considerable humor his experience with an elderly Irish woman whose son Is numbered among the missing, reports the New York Tribune. The young man, Patrick by name, u private by rank and a Washingtonian, was cap tured some time ago by ladrones, and when last seen was teiiig taken into the moun tains strapped to a fierce looking Filipino. Father Vattman learned the particulars and when he returned to Washington called upon the bereaved mother to break the news. Her Intuition assisted him, for she said Immediately: "You've come to tell me of Patrick, father." "Yes," said the priest, "and my good woman, you must remember that 'Whom the Ixird loveth lie chastenth, 'In the midxt of life we are In death, but the Iord comforts the afflicted' " "Yes, yes,, father," interrupted Patrick's mother, "tell me the news, father dear." "Well, my poor woman," Bald the priest, sorrowfully, "the last we heard of poor Patrick he was strapped to a Filipino and being taken Into the mountains." Daniel A.

He is only S feet 8 Inches in height and for years has been one of the most vigilant and energetic members of the Gettysburg fire company. It is believed he has "got hka growth," as he Is 63 years old. In one of Mr. Chase's classes In painting, says the New York Times, was a young chap who could not paint pictures much better than he could save money, and the allowance given to him by his father was very often gone before he knew it. One day Mr. C. was talking to the class on the subject of perspective, and this particular student did not appear to get the idea very clearly. To make It plain Mr. C. went back to the rudiments to get a good start. "Y6i understand," he en Id, that the fur ther you get away from any object the smaller it appears?" The young fellow shook his head. "No," he replied doubtfully, "I'm not so sure about that" Mr. Chase was provoked and not a little surprised at such hrnorance. and said so. "It's all right aa' to sorest things," re sponded the student, "but not all.

That there was a succession of failures In Omaha in the above named line before the advent of Mr. Louts Slavin Is a matter of record. It is, however, a recognised fact that many businesses fall because they are uot properly managed and. Judging from the success of the Omaha Plating Co., It would seem that Mr. Ixuls Slavln Is the right man for the place. He has built up a large patronage because he has demonstrated that he can electro plate anything made ot metal.
