Hi
KB 3 How Bobby Went to the Grocery.
Bobby had started down town with
a grocery list , and it was the first time
he had gone alone , so he felt very
proud and happy over it. But by and
by he stopped under a lamp post to"
rest.
"It's purty hard work to walk all
alone to the grocery man's , " he
thought. Just then a girl came by and
stopped to mail a letter in the iron
I box on the lamp post.
Bobby watched her with much in
terest.
"Where does it go to ? " he asked.
"The letter ? " answered the girl.
"Oh , down to the postoffice. Didn't you
ever see a posvoffice box before ? "
" ' " . " 'Cause
"No , ma'am , said Bobby.
we've just moved here from the coun-
Then , as the girl went on , Bobby
stood still looking at the box.
1 "I wonder if it wouldn't take my
I grocery list down , " he thought.
, I " 'Cause if it's smart enough to take
| letters , I should think it would be able
I to take a grocery list. "
IE So he tucked his paper in and sat
_ 11 -down to see what would happen ,
Vl' ' II though his conscieuce pricked him a
1 11 litUe-
HI i | "My mother might not like it , " he
Hi ill thought. "I wish I had thought to tell
HI II her about it first. "
I II Presently a man dressed in gray
Hflj II drove up , and , jumping out of his
H | f | , buggy , unlocked the box and took out
! | J the letters.
Hj Bobby stood up on tiptoe , and tried
If to see in.
H "I thought , " he explained to the
1 I man , "maybe I'd have some groceries
I there. I put a list in. "
S "No , " said the man , laughing , "this
I doesn't deliver groceries. But you
_ _ . i . climb in the buggy , and I'll take you
HI \ I down to the grocery. Here's your list. "
Hffi l I The grocery man ' let Bobby drive
H | | I back with him , and when Bobby saw
"H E | ( his mother looking anxiously out of
I the door , he at once began to explain.
| "I tried to ex-ex-peppermint with a
I i ! box , mother , " he said , "but I was sorry ,
• though it was a tormentous long ways
I to the grocery man's , and if they
Bf | hadn't let me ride I don't know how
m I I'd managed. But I won't do it again ,
mother , truly. "
1 "No , Bobby , " said his mother , "ex-
IS periments don't always turn out right ,
| and it's better to go along the way
B I your mother expects you to. "
Hj "Yes , that's so , " said Bobby. "I
H won't forget that. " The Outlook.
BH Children of America.
H "The very children have caught the
B air of liberty ! " exclaimed General Gage
H when the deputation of Boston school-
Hj boys remonstrated at their coasting on
H the Common being spoilt by the British
K soldiers. Nor was this act a solitary
H manifestation of the spirit of freedom
H displayed by the children of Revolu-
BJ tionary times. The little daughter of
H Elias Boudinot , when twelve years of
H age , having a cup of tea pressed upon
H ner while visiting at Governor Frank-
H lin's , proclaimed her rebel principles
H by raising the cup to her lips , and then
suddenly crossing the room and throw-
ins the ? contents from the window.
I In New Jersey the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. Wicke , called Tempe ,
probably short for Temperance was
Baj the owner of a fine horse , which one
Bfl day unfortunately attracted the atten-
BB tion of several soldiers while she was
BB out riding. She soon realized that the
-H men were in earnest in their intention
B of taking the horse from her.
H Suddenly breaking away from them ,
Bj she gave the spirited animal a cut with
B her whip , and sped toward home. But
Hj running away was only postponing the
H | trouble , for she knew that the men
B ' would follow her. Without pausing au
H [ instant , she trotted to the back dooof
H | the house , rode boldly through the
B kitchen and parlor , and thence into a
HX bedroom on the lower floor , which was
H [ generally used as a guest chamber.
| B The soldiers searched every available
B corner of the farm , but the idea that
C the horse was concealed in the house
BX did not occur to them , and they went
K away disappointed. The tradition is
Hi * fcat the horse remained in the bed--
HJ * room three weeks , carefully tended by
H bis young mistress.
H The spirit of what is sometimes
H called "spread-eagle Americanism" is
H always to be reprehended ; but it ia
Hj I pleasant to record two recent instances ,
H , both of which occurred in Boston pri-
H vate schools , that show that children
H of the present day may be as truly pa-
Hj triotic as their forerunners of a century
H ago.
H In the first case the teacher was an
H I English woman who had more than
H a once aroused the smothered indignation
1 ' ' ' " " , i i niUi..i - n .i tin.i .mi
of her pupils h ? what seemed to them
insistence on the British standard of
excellence as the only one worth re
garding.
"That is not English , " she said one
day , as a young girl made a ylip in
pronunciation. "Why do you not give
the broad a ? We are English v/e are
all English ! "
"You may be , Miss , " answered
the girl , in dignified tones , "but I am
not. I am a Yankee Yankee to the
backbone ! "
The other occurrence took place in
a boys * school. One of the instructors
was a young man of excellent charac
ter and amiable intentions , who had
apparently imbibed that contempt for
America and American institutions
which is sometimes noted in people
who have made a brief stay abroad ,
and which he never failed to expiess
on every possible occasion.
The boys held their peace till the
close of the school term ; then they pre
sented their unpatriotic teachei' with a
beautiful edition of "The Man Without
a Country" probably one of the best
lessons in patriotism ever penned.
Eggs as Ammunition.
From the Chicago Record : People in
the little mountain town of Sharps-
burg , Ky. , have a peculiar diversion
known as "egg throwing. " The heaviest
battles occur on Saturday night. Jim
strong is the captain of one egg-throw
ing band , and Bill Eversole is the cap
tain of the other. They have about
twenty men each. Each man has to
provide himself with a dozen eggs , and ,
of course , it is to his interest to buy
them where he can get them the cheap
est. As no individual expects to be
struck by his own eggs , he does not re
quire the dealer to "candle" them. In
this way the dealers in country produce
here are able to realize at least cost
price on their sickest eggs.
Last Saturday night's battle was a
glorious one. The moon was shining ,
and the boys lined up for the fray
about 9 o'clock. Every member of the
two companies was present. The cap
tains did not throw , simply directing
the movements of their men. Each had
his full quota of eggs when the battle
began. The first volley was thrown by
Strong's men. and six men on the
Eversole side v/ere struck. Then the
Bversoles began to throw eggs , and at
; heir first volley seven Strong men were
marked , and one egg carried away the
lap of Captain Strong. Then the
: hrowing became indiscriminate , and
io attempt at volley work was made.
The sport did not cease until the en-
: ire 480 eggs were thrown. Nearly ev-
; ry man had been plastered , and the
: aptains were regular omelets from
lead to foot. It was decided that
Strong's men won the fight. The Ever-
: ole company did the proper thing , and
: everal bottles of a colorless liquid
mown as "moonshine" were passed.
The most casual observer passing along
he street next morning could have told
here had been an egg battle , for the
louses , sidewalks , fences and curb-
tones were plastered with eggs and
hells.
Skating With Messages.
When a London messenger boy is
ent for he comes on skates. Recently
he proprietors of the messenger sys-
em have tried the experiment of hav-
ng its boys use bicycle skates , and
irhile it is uncertain yet whether the
rhole force will be so equipped , it is
aid to work very well so far as it has
ieen tried. The bicycle skate is an ex-
eedingly clever little invention. It
onsists of two small pneumatic tired
wheels , exactly like very small bicycle
wheels. These are fastened at each end
f the skate. Being much larger than
he ordinary wheels of a roller skate ,
rSri
they are fitted for outdoor work , and
they will pass readily and easily over
smooth pavements and at a speed
many times as fast as a boy could run.
When the messenger reaches his des
tination he can slip the skates off , put
them under his arm and carry them
with him until he is ready to return.
In this respect the skates are far bet
ter than -the bicycles , which may Chi'
cage messengers use.
The rent White Crane or the Plaint.
"The great white crane is a grand ,
stately fellow , clean-cut and shapely
from the points of his dagger-like
mandibles to the ends of his slim black
toes. When standing erect his lean
head towers above the grass nearly to
the height of an average-sized man ,
and his keen eye can range over
leagues of prairie for approaching foe.
Garbed in plumage pure as new-fallen
snow , with extraordinarily long , slen
der , shiny , black legs and with the
line of his back
graceful ending in a
cascade of lovely , curling white plumes ,
he always reminds me of the powdered ,
belaced , much-coat-tailed , spider-legged
gallant of the old French school. And
Grus americana is surely a gallant
gentleman and a dignified withal ; and
can he not , like his relative , ashen-
hued Grus canadensis , dance the minu
et and dance it as it should be danced ? "
Ed. W. Sandys , In Outing.

MUST ANNEX HAWAII
POLICY AGREED UPON BY ALL
POLITICAL PARTIES ,
Treaties from Marcy to IMcKluley We
Ifood the Gibraltar of the raclllc
I'rompt Action Urged Upon the
Senate.
The United States senate should
promptly ratify the Hawaiian Annex
ation Treaty next December.
For fifty years past the policy of the
United States has been to exclude oth
er nations from the political control of
Hawaii. Secretary of State Webster
said :
"I trust the French will not take
possession ( of Hawaii ) ; but if they
do , they will be dislodged , il my advice
is taken , if the whole power of the
government is required to do it. "
Since the days when Secretary of
State Webster uttered these words , and
President Pierce and Secretary of State
Marcy negotiated a treaty of annexa
tion , down to the date of the negotia
tion of the present treaty of annexa
tion by President McKinley and Secre
tary Sherman during this long inter
val we have seen Democrats , Whigs ,
Republicans , Populists , Gold Standard
men and the friends of free silver , re
gardless of party , all advocating Amer
ican control in Hawaii. Nor is there
any indication of divergence from this
truly national policy. It was , in fact ,
emphasized by the Republican party in
their national platform at St. Louis in
1896 , in the following words :
"The Hawaiian Islands should be
controlled by the United States , and no
foreign power should be permitted to
interfere with them. "
This was the true Democratic doc
trine before the Republican party ex
isted. It is distinctly an American
and not a party policy. It is a policy
that has been championed by Pierce ,
by Marcy , by Johnson , by Grant , by
Arthur , by Seward , by Fish and by
Blaine. Today this policy is advocated
by Gold Democrats like J. R. Proctor
and Thomas F. Bayard ; by Silver
Democrats like Senator Morgan of Al
abama and Senator Rawlins of Utah ;
by Gold Republicans like Senators
Frye , Lodge , Davis and Thurston ; by
Silver Republicans like Senator Teller ;
by Populists like Senator Stewart of
Nevada and Senator Allen of Nebras
ka ; by Senator Kyle , the Independent ,
it is advocated by such radically antag
onistic newspapers as the "Herald , "
"Tribune , " "Sun" and "Journal" of
New York. It is advocated by such men
is ex-Secretary Foster , General Scho-
*
Seld , Admirals Belknap and Walker ,
ind by Captain Mahan. It is a com
mon ground upon which all can come
: ogether , because Hawaiian annexation
is a policy as broadly national as the
VIonroe doctrine.
The reasons for the adoption of this
lolicy are self-evident. Hawaii is the
jquator , that is near enough to the
Pacific coast to be used as a base of na-
ral operations against us. A foreign
lower , in possession of Hawaii , would
) e within four days' steaming distance
> f San Francisco. Shut out from Ha-
vaii , foreign nations would be forced
) ack the entire width of the Pacific , a
listance prohibitive of effective naval
iperation. because ° battleships cannot
: arry coal enough to steam that dis-
ance.
A foreign power in possession of !
lawaii would compel the elaborate for- • '
ification of every port on the Pacific *
Joast in order to afford protection to 1
iur people and property out there. '
Vith all foreign powers excluded from <
lawaii , our people and property on the i
cific Coast would be comparatively i
ree from foreign danger. If we do not 1

Hawaii produces sugar , coffee and
bananas , all of which wo buy largely
from foreign countries. By annexation
we will produce these articles for our-
solves. The acquisition of the Hawa
iian sugar lands will the sodnor re
lieve us of our dependence upon Ger
many and other European countries as
the base of our supplies of sugar. We
can absorb the Hawaiian cane sugar
as well as all the beet and cane sugar
that we are likely to grow for very
many years to come. American citizens
have emigrated to Hawaii in such num
bers , and have acted there with such
energy , that they already own three-
fourths of the property there and trans
act three-fourths of its business. It is
American policy to protect our citizens
there , as well as their property , just
as it is American policy to protect our
people and property on the Pacific
Coast.
Hawaii is already Americanized in its
laws , its customs , its business and in
its society. The Hawaiian senate has
ratified the treaty of annexation. The
ratifying vote of the United States is
now alone needed to make Hawaii be
come American in law as well as in
fact. That ratifying vote should be
given by the United States senate
promptly in December next. Then the
Stars and Stripes will rise over Ha
waii , never again to be lowered.

We need Hawaii far more than Ha
waii needs us. We need it as England
needs Gibraltar , not so much for its
territory nor its commerce , but for its
location. We need it , not for aggres
sion , but for the protection of the in
terests that we have there and for the
protection of our people and property

Another , and a subordinate , reason
in favor of annexation is because Ha

tion , all of the seven different steam

Hawaii has been rightly termed the
"commercial crossroads" as well as the
"strategic key" of the Pacific.
Hawaii , although but partially de

Shreveport , La. , Times.
We are glad to learn of this business

tends throughout Louisiana. The un
swerving efforts of United States Sen
ator McEnery to secure protection for ,
and to promote the interests of his
state are promptly bearing good fruit.
Whenever the sugar industry of Louis

sale and retail interests must be in the
same happy condition.
The Outlook for Farmers.
The wheat market has probably
reached its best. Dollar wheat is sat
isfactory , and if it remains in that
neighborhood it will be abundantly
satisfactory to fanners. There may
not be a short crop in Europe next
year , and the demand for export wheat
may not be so great. But by next year
American labor will find better em
ployment , and the domestic demand
fur wheat will be greater. We may
not have dollar wheat next year ; but
it will be much nearer the dollar mark
than the 25 cent mark , as predicted
by Bryan and his zealous followers a
year ago. The outlook for the farmers
is encouraging. Knoxville , Teni\ . ,

THE RULING UNJUST.
A DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
NEBRASKA WHEAT.
The Chicago Hoard of Tratln Slaked a
Kullng tliat the Nebraska Grain Deal
ers' Association Will Ho Called Upon to
Look Into A Discrimination in Furor
of Soft Wheat. .
Concerning Nebraska Wheat.
When the Nebraska grain dealers'
association meets Nevomber 10 , says
the Liuccln Journal , it will probably
be called upon to take up the opposi
tion forming against the amendment
passed by the board of trade of Chicago
cage recently restricting the kinds of
wheat which will bo accepted as con
tracts , as there is very little wheat
raised in the state which will pass
muster under the new rule of the Chicago
cage board of trade. So dangerous is
the amendment said to be that one well
known Chicago man has taken it up
and insists that if the board does not
repeal it there may be a revocation of
their charter.
The amendment was Introduced by
W. T. Baker , who naturally argues in
its favor by claiming that tha restric
tion will increase the quality of the
wheat received in Chicago and bring
a better class of buyers into the mar
ket. The amendment is as follows :
"On contracts for grain or flaxseed
for future delivery the tender of a high
grade of the same kind of grain or
flaxseed than the one contracted for
shall be deemed sufficient. All contracts
made for wheat unless otherwise speci
fied shall be understood as for 'contract
wheat , ' and on such contracts a tender
of No. 1 red winter wheat , No. 2 red
winter wheat or No. 1 northern spring
wheat , in such proportions as may be
convenient to the sell , subject , how
ever , to the provisions of section 5 of
rule 21 shall be deemed a valid tend
er. "
As may be seen from the amend
ment , nothing will be received as con
tract wheat except No. 1 red winter ,
No. 2 winter and No. 1 northern spring
wheat. Nearly all the Nebraska wheat
is spring or Turkey red. Being barred
from selling on contract because if
when the time comes for delivery they
would be unable to furnish the contract
wheat the grain men are forced until
the first of December to sell in open
market or on the track in Chicago.
The order practically debars Nebraska ,
Kansas , Iowa and the Dakotas from
the contract market.
Nebraska wheat is graded No. 2
hard and No. 2 spring , the greater part
being called No. 3 hard in the Chicago
market. Out of the 195 cars of wheat
on the Chicago market Tuesday ten
passed under the new amandment.
Eight out of 168 were able to enter as
contract wheat Wednesday. Baltimore
recognized the dissatisfaction such a
ruling would create long ago and 26 a
result opened its market on a broad
basis. The St. Louis board of trade
is now considering the feasibility of
doing so. If the board does , St. Louh
will be the destination of a great deal
of Nebraska wheat in future.
A grain dealer stated yesterdny that
an alteration in the ruling of ths Chi'
cage board of trade would me-.n tha
transfer of many dollars into the pock
ets of the state's grain men. At pres
ent if a man contracts to deliver De
cember wheat the buyers in Chicag * :
may have a cinch on all the wheat an'i
3an hold up the dealer from Nebraska
who is unable to furnish wheat he has
contracted for. As a result thfj will
; et whatever they please for wheat thai
do has to purchase while at the tims
le may have his elevators filled witt
: he Nebraska product.

The American Chicory company has H
started its plant at Fremont. During : H
the summer some improvements have 'Aa
been made in the machinery and every- Ab
thing placed in good shape. The to- HJ
tal amount of chigory "jeets dried at HJ
Fremont this year will be considerably HJ
less than last season , the management AB
estimating it at only 5,000 tons. The AB
yield per acre is smaller than last year. Hi
which was an exceptionally favorable H
season for raising chicory , but will be 9H
large enough to make the crop a profit- HJ
able one to the farmer. The company S HJ
has recently shipped a large quantity HJ
of the dry root to Omaha to be prepared - |
pared for the market. The demand fcr HJ
chicory is improving and many new H
customers are being added to the com- Af
pany " s list. As it is not practicable for | H
the factory to shut down during the Aa
season , two full crews are employed of AB
about fifteen men each. The factory AB
will probably be in operation about AB
eighty days this season. AH
