It is not a reprint, rohnsh, or re

result of tho steady labor for five
years of over twelve score of tho
most eminent and authoritative
Bcholarsand specialists in the world.
N.early 100 of tho leading universi
ties, colleges, and scientific institu
tions of tho world were represented
on tho educational stair; 20 U. S.
Government experts were also on
tho editorial staff. Over 900,000
were actually expended in its pro
duotion before a single complete
copy was ready for the market.
Never wnsany dictionary welcomed
with such great enthusiasm the

THE Critic, Now York: "On the
whole the completed work more than
fulfills the promises of the prospec
tus. Its merits are mainly due to the fact
that every department and subdivision of
a department has been entrusted to an ex
pert or specialist. No dictionary ever had
so many or so able editors 247 in all to
say nothing of nearly 500 readers for quo
tations. Tho results amply justify tho enor
mous labor and expense."
The Sunday School Times, Phila
delphia, Pa.; "Continual uso of the first volume, slnco Its
Issue, has shown tho work to bo a weighty, thorough, rich,
accurate, authoratlve nnd convonlent addition to lexico
graphical material. Tho collaborutlve method reaches high
water mark, arid produces hold, original, Independent and
"aholarly results,"
H. L. McL Kimball, many years Li
brarian U. S. Tresury Department, Washington, D. C: "After
a years' acquaintance with tho merits of tho Standard Dic
tionary I have only words of pralso for Its wonderful full
ness of richness. Tho wonder Is how-such a mine of knowl
edgo can be placed within tho purchasing power of almost
any one. Thero was never beforo such on opportunity for

Judge W. K. Towtisend, Professor of

The
Richest Treasure
' 'If ovory school trustee and
every man having a family of
growing children could realize
tho value of this Dictionary he
would not be long without it.
It iB worth more than fine
clothes, jowelry, 'high living,
or summer outings, and tends
to improve and ennoble the
character, and makes better
citizens of every person who
studies it. " -Milivaukee Sent'l
THE Independent, New York:
"From the time the plan (of tho
Standard Dictionary) was brought
to its full and systematic development, the
work has been pushed with great enorgy.
No expense and no pains have been spar
ed. Collaboration has been carried to tho
utmost limits. Committeos of consulta
tion and reference havo been formed and
kept at work for every Bub-department.
Every American bcholar who was known
to possess special knowledge or ability of
tho kind likely to bo usoful in such a dic
tionary, was to be taken into the collabo
ration, and the final result waB to come
forth the joint product of tho linguistic
learning and lexical scholarship of tho
age.
"The result of the application of all
this business energy and enterprise in the
development of the dictionary has brought
with it many advantages and resulted in
certain gains, which, when charged to tho
credit of the work as a whole, show it to
be one of high utility and in certain im
portant respects superior to any of the
other great workB of popular English lex
icography. "It oontnins in all departments a grout amount of (rood
work of high utility and an immense amount of e.onUona
ed encyclopedia. Scholars and itudonts of all grades
may uso it with advantage."

Insurgent corporal and four dark-faced fol

gathered all of thorn In with two rifles and
flvo bolos. Then ho walked them off In the
direction ho had come, A March of the
ravine failed to disclose other Insurrectos
and tho party started back toward San

and tribulations for the men of the Thlrty

from hard work and short rations and must
needs be carried nearly al tho dUtance.
Political Side Of AVnr.
Aldcn Carpenter of tho Hospital corp3 of
tho Thlrty-nlnth touches upon the political
side of tho question In u letter to Thc Ree
from Santo Thomas. He, says:
"Helng on tho ground, I feel as though
I am In n position to see and better under
stand tho real condition of affairs far bettor
than tho antl-annoxatlonlsts of far-off
America. Thero Is n great misrepresenta
tion of tho exact facts being published by
somo American newspapers. They endeavor
to load tho people to believe that a great
wrong has been done and toll of those left
of Agulnaldo's slaves and fugitives that If
they will continue their 'bolo1' warfare
that coneress will have all the American
soldiers withdrawn from tho Islands, de
I llvcrlng tho samo Into the hands of Aguln-
j nldo and his followers. If those of the
nntl-lmporlnllst class that aro striving by
' their selfish tpotlves to gain power could
only seo tho results of their principles and
form of government which they nro advocat
ing I bcllovo they would forever withdraw
nnd again Join with tho grand old adralnls-,
tratlon that Is striving bard to enlighten
add administer a form of government by
I which a peoplo horn In bondago may bo
free. Tho constitution calls these Islands
' ours. They nro territory belonging to the
Unite! States and I hope will remain as
such forever.
"This Island empire tho flower of tho
I Pacific, Is tho last land left In all tho
I oceans with abundance of resourccn un
, developed and only waiting for civilization
' to progress. In one's travels through the
archipelago you will observe a revelation of
vegotnblo and mineral wealth. No land In
America surpasses In fertility tho plains
nnd valleys of Luzon. Many products of
tho temperato as well as the tropical zone
grow In various sections of tho archipelago,
Tho forests can supply tho furniture forj
tho world for for ncorce of years to come.
The mineral- wealth has not as yet been
ascertained nor boundaries fixed ns to tho
mineral belt, but ample evidence la at hand
Indicative of the fact that In one of tbo
Islands minerals and coal abound. An en
couraging fact Is that tho peoplo Inhabiting
this Island manifest n great desire to learn
T.-npllsi. Thrv hntn the Snanlsh. whtth nn.
j counts for tho fact that their country has
nover been explored. Its resources are left
In a virgin state, On tho Island of Luzon
light-grained gold has been panned from
some of Its streams, and on one of the
Islands largo deposits of copper exist.
"I base this statement partly on personal
observation, but chiefly on Information
given by merchants and escaped prisoners,
who havo had ample opportunity to observe
tho formation of tho country. T look
upon the situation from a commercial point
of view, you can see that 'with the Ulands
It gives us a baso at the very door of all
the east, and the time Is not far distant when
tho great question that will confront the
people of the United States will present
Ittolf: 'Where are we to turn for consume
of our surplus?' Geography nnswers this
question,
"Tbo largest trade henceforth must bo with
Asia. China Ih our natural consumor. She
Is nearer to us than to England, Germany or
France, who nro now tho commercial powers
of the world, they having moved closer
to China by securing permanent bases on
her 'borders. The Pacific is our ocean, nnd
tho power that rules tho Pacific will bo the
power that rules tho world. And with the
Philippine Islands that power Is and will
forever bo the American republic."

has gone and done It," said Deacon Hayeed,
as he laid down the paper and wiped his
spectacles.
"Qone and done what?" asked Mandy,
who hadn't had a show at tho .morning
news.
"Why he hez announced that ho Ib a can
didate fur president."
"For tho lands snke, don't say so?" ex
claimed Mandy. "On what ticket Is tho
admiral a goln' to run?"
"Ho don't say, Mandy; 'pears to bo leavln'

view that he Is Bort o' runnln' nt large, 00
fur. Doesn't seem to think It Is very
essential whether ho expresses himself on
the question uv his politics nnd llttlo trifles
liko that, leaves It to be Inferred that nftor
ho Is nominated ho may Inform tho peoplo
as to whether ho Is n democrat or a re
publican or something else, on then ngnln
maybe ho won't; depends on circumstances,
I reckon.
"What do I think uv It, Mandy? Why,
I will toll you. It simply demonstrates that
thoro probably never was no man so great
and lcvel-headod, generally speakln', that
ho wouldn't sora'ers along the lino mako n
fool uv himself. Under the present circum
stances Dewey don't stand no moro show uv
glttln' a nomination fur president frum any
party that cuts any flgor In tho election,
than that goose uv 011 rn that set all last
summer on a piece of a brick and a door
knob had uv hatcbln' out a couple uv ytller
gosllns,
"I don't want to reflect none on the gen
tla sex uv which, Mandy, you air a shlnln'.
nnd worthy member, but I must say that In
my Judgment tho admiral hez been lead Into
this thing by a blamed fool wife. If I read
history correctly great rsen hev always
been mighty KUBceptlblo to female In
fluences. The Philistine men could'nt
work. Sampson, not fur a mlnuto, but
Delilah worked him to a fare-ynu-well.
Nelson wuz tho greatest admlrnl that Eng

bo hed a head full uv common sense, but
on thn land a purty womsn mado him act
as It he hadn't a lick uv sense In the wnrlJ,
fleorge Washington was a mighty level
headed feller, but somo uv his private cor
respondence that hez been published shows
that he would Indulge in some tolerably
musty talk to women.
"But speakln' uv Dewey, It hez seemed
to me that he has been grttln' off moro or
loss ever since be wuz married, nn' It
seems to bo mostly on hU wife's account.
You recolloo' readln' durln' tho party Bcason
an' ball an' reception doln'a In Washing
ton how Mrs. Dewey Insisted that she
ought to rank next to tho president's wlfo,
an' got huffed because she couldn't hev her
way. She also got the admiral mixed up
In the trouble to some extent nn' got him
nn' herself criticised on amount uv It. An'
only tho other day I wuz readln' how she
had tol' tho women of her set that sho an'
the admiral bad had tholr first quarrel
over tho wearln' uv a pair uv rubbers. The
hull story wuz so sort Uv idckenln' that !
mighty near lost a good breakfast on nc
count uv It.
"Dcwoy la n great admiral, an' he Is a
noblo man, In my Jedgment, but he Is
nllowln' his wlfo to wheedlo him an' boss
him entirely too much In my opinion. She
has tol' the admiral that she wants to be
the first lady uv tho Innd nn' that he kin
git tho nomination fur president Jlst as
well as not. George's original Jedgment
wns ngln tho Idee. Ho satd so plain and
Btrulgbt. Ho said then time ho didn't want
to bo president nn' that ie didn't think he
wuz fitted fur tho position. Judgln' frum
this Interview, that ho Bays ho wrote him
self, I should say that his conclusion ns to
his fitness wns correct. But that wuz before
he wuz marrlod to this woman. Then he
wuz talkln' the sober opinion uv Dewey.
It wuz right nlong tho lino uv the good
sense ho showed all tho tlino while he wuz
runnln' things In Manila end Manila bay.
But right away nfter ho wuz married thero
begun to be evidences tint he was under
tho Influences uv his wife. It's awful for
tunate that Dowey wan't married till after
tho trouble with Spain wuz over; no tellln'
what this wife might have persuaded him
to do If sho had bocn there.
"If tho partner uv youv. Joys and sorrors,
Mandy, which Is myself, should over dis
tinguish himself nnd caitBe his name to be
on thc lips of thc peoplo ns n great popular
hero, I hope you won't got gay an' want
to be the wlfo uv a president. I also sort
uv hope, .Mnndy. that If tho time comos

nnd sayln' what n great ar good man Dea

I'll bo translated Into tho New Jerusalem

I'OltrKlTI'M) HIS IIO.NDS.
Mlsfnrluiit'a nf u Nnrlli Dnkntn Farmer
In HiixkIii mill (In- Seqiirl,
A Washington dispatch to the New York
Evening Post rns: "It may bo recalled
that a few weeks ago an account of thn
misfortunes of Philip Bebel was given In
this correspondence. Ilcbcl was a North
Dakota farmer, who, on his way to visit
his brother In Russia, was arrested Just
nftor entering the czar's domains, on tho
suffplclon that he was a Ilueslan exile; ho
appealed to his friends In this country and
Secretary Hay formally called the attention
of Ambassador Tower to the outrage. The
other day an nnBwor was rocelved nt tho
State department from Mr. Tower saying
that ho had taken up ttiln matter beforo the
secretary's letter arrived and would prose
cuto It with vigor and zeal.
Now, comes from Mandan, N. D a private
letter announcing that Brbcl bad suddenly
nrrlvod at his homo nnd rfsiimed work on
his farm. His appearance thero does not
mean that tho minions of tho czar have
reversed their unjust course, or that tho
thunder of Tower's tones havo caused
prison doors to open. It meant simply that,
however much Bebol may havo longed to see
his rights vindicated in Russia ho preferred
living in Dakota oven without vindication,
In other words, he "Jumped his bond," al
lowed his brother to forfeit tho 100 rubles
deposited for his appearanco and in soma
way escaped from the country. It Is gen
erally understood to be more difficult to get
out of Russia than to get Into It, but Rebel
can tell a different talc, Doubtlws h! visit
to his old homo may not remain tho most
enjoyable episode In his career, but It will
bo of sorao value In furnishing an exhaust

In the suburbs of Contrallu, Mo,, relates
tho Kansas City Times, thero dwells a fam
ily consisting of Poler Marshall, his wlfo
and two grown daughters. Three years ago
last October a daughter was solzed with
fever and later began to hiccough nnd nftor
n few weeks of suffering death camo to her
relief. During tbo Illness of tho dcccaBod
a sister Miss Lucy Marsoall was at tho
bedside of her afflicted sister almost con
stantly, administering to her wants. A few
dnys nftor tho death of this slBter, Lucy
was suddenly attacked with hiccoughing,
which nt first occasioned no surprise or ur
easiness, but as the hiccoughing continued
from day to day and from week to week
Lucy becamo alarmed nnd a physician was
summoned. Tho doctor prescribed ono
remedy after another, but no relief came.
Lucy continued to hiccough and began to
leso st'ongth. Tho color of health van
ished from her cheek and tier form became
omaclated, and for many months sho was
confined to her bed. During all this tlmo
many physicians from different parts of tho
stato visited tho young woman and nil re
ported that such n case was nover beforo
heard of. Almost every physician who
visited tho patient prescribed somo remedy,
but the affliction was stubborn and baffled
every remedy, nnd up to tho presont tlmo
sho has been hiccoughing for threo yenrs
nnd threo months,
During the past autumn sho was at times
much Improved, nnd nccuslonully ventured
out to church or to tho theater, but always
before leaving homo sho had morphlno In
jected Into her nrm. During tho past win
tor she had not been quite so well. Her
stomach has become woak. When hic
coughing first attacked nor she wolghod 123
pounds, but she now weighs loss than 100
pounds. Notwithstanding all this suffering
sho contlnuos cheerful nnd says she still
has hopo. A number of physlclsns nnd
medical houses havo shipped hor medicine,
somo of which sho has taken. During the
throe years and three months that sho has
been afflicted not a single day has Inter
vened without moro or loss hiccoughing.
Whatever the result may bo he seems
resigned to hor fate. Tho ond or this won
derful case will bo watched with doop Inter
est by the medical world and Its result will
go down Into history as one of the most
noted casou that has over engaged the at
tention of physicians, And In the mean
time tho hiccoughing continues,
