At Las Vegas, X. 1L, Saturday Col. Roosevelt of the Bough Riders was pre sented a gold medal as "a permanent witasasot the esteem of their appreci ation of his character as an American citizen and of their admiration for his conspicuous gallantry in battle." The American, published at Manila, has a scorching editorial headed "Gov ' ernor Pointer's Cowardly Veto," in which that document is characterized as perhaps the most despicable action in connection with the war in the Philip pines. No regiment, says The American, has behaved with more conspicuous bravery and conducted itself more cred itably than the noble band of heroes from Nebraska. Govebkob Roosevelt is right in say ing that a man should be as ready to fgfat for the beet interests of his conn try in time of peace as in time of war. Speaking to a graduating class he told them they were no better than the wawiwt who had not had their advanta ges, except in so far as they' utilized their great advantages and proved them selves so. "Above all," said he, "do not bacosae of tbe class of so-called highly adacated and cultured, who sneer at American institutions and American 'customs. If yon recognize a fault come forward and expose it, and strive, to it. Do not become one of the who lose faith in the ability of Americans to govern either themselves or tbsir klands."

In order to note the effect of a covering of snow upon tbe alfalfa, a slat fence was stretched across a forty acre alfalfa field on the U. S. Experiment Station Farm at Lincoln in the fall. The effect was to keep a snow drift along one side of the fence a consider able portion of the winter. Where the drift lay the alfalfa is badly killed out while further away from the fence where the wind had full sweep it is in good condition. It is also noticeable that the alfalfa in the draws suffered more dur ing the winter than that on high ground. These and other observations point to the conclusion that dryness especially of the soil during the winter is the most favorable condition for the alfalfa plant. In the eastern part of the state it is undoubtedly better to sow alfalfa on high land rather than on land that is likely to be wet when it freezes in the winter. In one of the alfalfa fields on the Station Farm there is a low piece of ground on which it has been impossible to maintain a stand of alfalfa. This place has been seeded to Alsike clover to the growth of which it has proven to be quite well adapted. The spot also contains considerable alkali. University News Letter. Who would dare hazard an opinion on what the condition of the country would be today had Bryan and his free trade and free silver been successful in j 1896? Imagine this country with a war on its hands, a depreciated dollar, and depleted treasury and free trade. Contrast the condition of tho country under democratic rule and the Wilson free trade revenue measure, when the government was borrowing money to pay running expenses, and the condi tions of today under republican rule and the Dingley tariff, when the coun try is prosecuting in a foreign country a war for humanity and equal rights. The national treasury is in a condition to meet all the obligations of the gov ernment with no thought of a bond issue. It is no wonder that the sober thinking, intelligent voter is gradually leaving the party of obstruction and casting his lot with tho party of progress and the poor man's friend. Falls City Journal. It strikes The Journal that the tariff has been such a good thing practically for the United States that there will be no serious objection to its continuance. This generation have had such an object lesson that they are not likely to forget it so long as they live. There is a won derful difference between issuing bonds in times of profound peace for the pay ment of current expenses, and having a goodly-sized surplus on hands in time of war, for the safe conduct of the gov ernment. Absolutely the only subject left in sight for the democrats to howl about is trusts. The tariff issue has been dead with them for several years, returned prosperity has wiped out the financial issue and Aguinaldo's flight or suppres sion will soon make imperialism a back number, so that at present nothing seems more available than the trusts. When it comes to logical discussion of the subject, it will be seen how little, how very little, of an issue the demo crats can make out of trusts. Oswego (N. V.) Times. O Baaatfce Kgutaxa cf ITC Ttw Km Vm Haw Always BinM SOME ROYAL DOGS. Nearly All the Sovereicus of Europe Axa Fond of Cauine I'eU. Nearly every one of the sovereign? of Europe, it appeara, has one or more pot dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria, tho fox terriers of Princess Beatrice, with Jock us prime favorite, ?ro known at least by hearsay to everybody. The emperor of Run-in is also a great lover of dogs. A London paper reports that he is always accompanied in his walks by a couple cf fine Danish hounds, whose strength and vigilance their master considers his best safe guard. The grave czar is often seen playing with these monster pets. He himself has taught them their tricks, and they are nearly always about him. The Ling cf Greece shares the czar's taste for the Danish hounds, which are as intelligent as they are strong, and which, with hardly a bark to announce their intentions, will fly at the throat of any one whom their master may point out to them in case of need. When the empress of Austria goes on her long walks or rides, several pet dogs always accompany her. But per haps the most widely known of all the "royal dogs" of the present day is Black, the pet dog of the Russian Grand Duke Alexis. Black is a sportsman 's dog, of no very aristocratic breed. Indeed, if the truth must be told, he is a member of tbe race of mongrels which the fisher men in the south of France take out to sea, employing them to recapture any wily fish that may fall through the meshes of their nets or slip suddenly back into its element after it has been once landed ou board tho barge. Black is still rejoicing in the days of his youth, bat his record, not only as a common fisherman but as a "fisher of men, " is already great, for he has saved no fewer than six persons from a watery grave . Some three or four years ago tbe Grand Duke Alexis was staying at Biarritz. One stormy night he went out on the cliff to get a view of the angry sea. A boat was just being wrecked be low, and he saw a dog dashing with angry growls and barks into the water and bringing to land, one by one, three drowning men, while the crowd cheered the brave mongrel to the echo. The grand dnke approached to caress tbe dog, and the animal's master then offered Black to him, refusing to accept any payment. St. Louis Post-Dispatch Aavaatasrea f Xarrlea Life.

CZ&tffa&c . soexsoooaooexx Ta FlylMa Pas. The fifing fox is a very curious in habitant of tbe forest uear Moreton bay, in east Australia. It lives in flocks and moves generally toward tbe dnsk of the evening, and the noise produced by the heavy flapping of the so called wings is very singular. The flocks like quiet places, where there are large araacariaa pine trees, with an underwood of scrub and creepers. Tbe fcxes hang in vast umbers from horizontal branches of the pine trees. When there is a clear space among the trees, an enormous number of the animals may be seen, and their noise can be beard, for directly they see any thing nnnsual they utter a short bark, something liketbe sound made by young rooks. Often every branch is crowded, and tbe young foxes are seen either flap ping their wings and holding on with their hind feet and with their heads downward or snarling and fighting for places. Suddenly the whole take to flight and flap their furry, winglike sides and wheel around like heavy birds. Many fly with their young holding on to them. The creature is not a true fox, and there is a fold of skin which reaches from the fore to tbe hind legs. This is called tbe wing, and it enables the pteropns, as tbe animal is called, to float and turn in tbo air. Philadelphia Press. Kirsrals Maale. One of tbe Kirghiz came into my tent, and, squatting down, began to play tbe kaumuEs, a three stringed instru ment played with the fingers. The musio was monotonous and of a melan cboly cadence, but it harmonized well with the surroundings and the moods they inspired. In a word, it wss typic ally Asiatic. I sat and listened to it with pleasure, giving my imagination captive to the mnsic, the soft moaning of tbe night wind, the gentle crackle of tbe fire. How many and many a night did I not spend thus during the long years that followed listening to the dreamy sounds of that primitive Kir ghiz instrument! How many a dark, solitary winter afternoon did I not while away in this foolish, fashion! In course of time 1 grew accustomed to tbe kaumuss and derived as much pleasure from it as the Kirghiz did themselves. In fact, I grew fond of it Its soothing musio carried my mind away into the fairy realms of day dreams. My thoughts flew far away to my home amid the dark pine woods of Sweden. Sven Hedin in "Through Asia." Lifeboats the World. The lifeboat service is one of tbe very noblest of philanthropic institutions, and many civilized nations pay special attention to these means for the zesene of perishing mariners. England's life boat service is a voluntary one. The Boyal National Lifeboat institution, which controls the bulk of British life boats, was founded in 1824. It now bas over 300 lifeboats on the shores of tho kingdom, and has been instrumental iu saving nearly 30,000 lives. The French lifeboat service was established in 1805, and has 83 stations, while it has been tbe means of saving over 900 vessels and 7,500 lives. The French service has one great ad vantage over ours. It is that tbe public board of works always builds the fir&t lifeboat house at eaoh station aa it is established, consequently relieving tbe service of a great outlay. The German service was established in 1865, and has 104 lifeboat stations. Tbe United States has 233 lifeboat stations. The cost of the United States service is about 290,000 a year. London Tit Bits.

I am myself an intermittent golfer, getting very violent attacks at regular intervals.

The Shahbjr Trlelc Flare Uvea m Patriotic Greek Boiler Maker by Seme of IJacle Sam'a Sailors "With Whom He Hai Shlayea. "About four years ago tbe cruiser on which I was serving shipped a boiler maker while we were on the Mediter ranean station," said a Washington chief petty officer of the navy, now on leave of absence. ' "Our former boiler maker's time expired while we were at Gibraltar, and as be was not in good physical shape be wasn't re-enlisted, but took bis discbarge and returned to the United States by mail steamer. So the ship was shy a boiler maker, a very important and necessary petty officer down below in tbe engineer's depart ment and when tbe ship pulled into Naples harbor the chief engineer went ashore to Eee if be couldn't dig np a boiler maker. "There's a clause in the enlistment regulations permitting commanding officers to ship necessary men on foreign stations In short handed emergencies. The chief engineer brought back to the ship a Greek named Charlie Mara The man couldn't speak any English to speak of but ho was a good man at the boiler making business, and be was duly shipped aboard of us for threo years. He was a wild, hairy looking lot, Maro was, and be got a good deal of a laugh at tbe hands of tho crew, es pecially the yonnger fellows, from the time he first came over the side. "Maro thought that there wasn't any other country on the map except Greece. He thought that the 'Greeks man' was the hottest kind of a tamale when it came to scrapping by land or sea, and after he got hold of enough English to mako himself understood he used to take some of tbo young appren tice boys up into tho eyes of the ship and tell them with many gesticulations and fnrious words of the different kinds of tar Greece would knock out of Turkey if the two countries ever came to an open rupture. "The ship was around on tbe Pacifio station when the war broke ont between Greece and Turkey. When the news of tbe outbreak of the war got to Maro, our boiler maker, he nearly had heart dis ease and a whole lot of other sudden things from pure excitement He just couldn't hold himself in, he looked so tickled. "'Da Greeka man willa bim ! biml bim! da Turka man,' was Charlie Maro's way of putting it, and he didn't see that the Turk bad a ghost of a show. All bands forward encouraged him in the belief. They all acquiesced in ex pressing the belief to Maro that Greece would simply eat Turkey up. Then a bo'sun's mate who knew bow to crack the most impossible kind of steers with a face as solemn and wooden as an In dian's took Charlie in hand and told him some things. He told Maro that the United States was so much in sympathy with Greece in tbe struggle with Turkey that tbe navy department had decided to turn over all of the ships of the American navy to Greek commanders. "'Here's a big chance for yon, Maro,' tbe bo'sun's mate told Mara 'Yon just want to work your edge. Here yon are already shipped on this cruiser, and it's dollars to doughnuts that if you ask for the command of this ship in order to take her over to Greece to mix it np with the Turks you'll get it hands down. Better try it on.' "That idea impressed Maro a heap. He asked the bo'sun's mate whom he'd have to apply to to get command of the cruiser. " 'Why, to the commanding officer, of course,' was the reply. "Maro was tremendously important for a day or so whilo he let this huge idea grow within him, and he bullied the men detailed to work with him down below in the boiler room a good deal. The bos'n's mate kept working bim np to it, and finally Maro appeared on deck one morning togged out in bis very best mustering suit of bluejacket clothes and went np to the officer of the deck and asked permission to see the commanding officer at the mast The officer of tbe deck was rather surprised to see the man all done up in his mus tering togs when all hands were at work, but, as he is obliged to do when an enlisted man requests permission to see the commanding officer, he sent word to the skipper, who soon emerged from bis cabin and appeared at 'the " 'Well, my man?4 said the skipper to Maro, who stood bolt upright and sainted with a flourish. " 'Sare,' said Maro to the skipper, 'I have-a da honor to her-a-by taka da com mand of a da ship.' " 'Hey?' said tbe commanding offi cer, putting his hand to his ear and looking as if he hadn't heard aright " 'Da ship,' repeated Mara 'For-a da navee of -a Hellas da Greeka navee I bava da honor to taka da command.' "All hands among the enlisted men were np on the to'gallant fo'o'sle tak ing the thing in, and they broke into a roar that you could have heard five cable lengths' distance. Maro heard it and, suspecting that his confidence had been abused, got red and flabbergasted. He suddenly bolted for the engine room hatch and made his way below, and it took three marines to drag him aft to the sick bay, where the surgeon, at the skipper's command, gave Maro a half hour's examination as to bis sanity. Maro was game enough to decline to give the name of the enlisted man who had told him he was eligible for the command of the ship upon its being 'turned into tbe navy of Greece,' but the thrashing he gave that bos'n's mate when he got him 'on the beach' was certainly savage."

One Saturday afternoon two friends cf the noble game of chess sat playing together in a cafe. Suddenly one of them started np in a passion and ex claimed, "Yon have pocketed one of my pawns." A glance at tbe board and men suf ficed to ihow that a pawn was really missing. The excitement over the lost pawn became so intense that a lively al tercation ensued, in which everybody in tbe room took part (jutet was at last restored, and the player who bad lost bis pawn resumed bis seat and began to drink bis coffee, which was covered with thick cream, when he all at once got something into his throat whioh nearly choked him. He succeeded, however, in extricating the intrusive article, which turned out to be the missing pawn. The chess player, intent on the game, bad thrown it into bis cap in place of a lump of sugar.

Tho Rallaar Pasalaa. A celebrated musical critic was re cently married in church, and after the ceremony, as tbe wedding procession marched down the aisle, tbe organist played the wedding march from "Lo hengrin." When near the door, tho bridegroom stopped in the march and addressed the wondering assembly thus: "I know I am committing a breach of etiquette as well as propriety in do ing this, but I am not to blame. It is my mental organization which baa be come ineffably sensitive by reason of tbe critical nature of my duties." Then he drew from the pocket of his dress coat a well thumbed copy of tbe score of "Lohengrin." Opening it at the march, be went over to the organist and said: "What offended my ear was the fact that in she seventeenth bar of tbe da capo passage yon flatted very badly, and In the andante movement yon slurred the appoggiatura. Now," put ting bis finger upon the passage, "let ns try that again." Onoe more tbe organ pealed forth, and this time tbe player, conscious that the great critio was listening to him, accomplished his duty with credit to himself and to tbe great satisfaction of tbe critic.
