It is refreshing in these days of scientific child-culture to find at Dr. "Spank" still I,ast one educator of reputation who 111 Ueiunnil. , , ... , does not think that the virtue has all departed * from the slipper and the shingle of other days. Prof. Stanley (J. Hall, who addressed the Illinois Congress of Mothers at its meeting recently, threw down the gantlet in the face of those who declare that "the child's will must never be thwarted," and de clared that the old-fashioned Dr. "Spank" was still needed in every nursery. He declared that one of the most important lessons a child can learn is that of obedience, and that it is impossible to teach that lesson without punishing disobedience. In this conclusion, says the Chicigo Tribune, almost every parent, will agree. Moral suasion and "sugges tion" are proper as far as they go, but there is still room and necessity for an occasional "thou shalt not." Else the grownup child will be likely to run his head against a stone wall, which he might have avoided if he had learned early in life the virtue of discipline and the stern fact that Mother Xature punishes her children when they break her laws. A Philadelphia girl who has just re turned from a two years' tour abroad A Camera tilrl'. is havin K ""»»* jokes cracked at her MlNfortuno. , expense by reason of her experiences in the field of ama teur photography, reports the Rec ord of that city. She took with her a camera, one of the tripod variety, and 1,000 films. All during her travels the camera was her constant companion, and in order to keep tabs on her pic tures she jotted down in a note book just what each one was. This little bookcontainedsuch subjects as"Feed ing Crocodiles in the Ganges," "Surp rise on the Nile," "A Street in Jeru salem" and others of an equally in teresting nature. Almost the firt'.t thing she did when she reached homa was to send her thousand films to !i professional photographer to halt! them developed. The next day she received a message from him asking her to call, and learned that her labor of two years had been wasted. Xevev once had she removed the cap from the camera, and every film was blank. Beware of how you call your phy sician "doc." A well-known special ist of Milwaukee, according to the Journal, of that city, said: "A pa tient of mine was in here a few days ago. I had done something for him which I could charge any amount in reason. I had intended to make it reasonable. I sat at the desk with a pencil in my hand. He began tc speak to me familiarly, addressing me as 'doc.' Every time he 'dou'ed' me I made a mark on a piece of pa per and charged him one dollar ex tra for each time. He doesn't know the cost.of his familiarity, but I do." Aunt Peggy Jones, who has long claimed to be the oldest woman liv ing in the United States, died in Ghent, Ky., a few days ago. She said that she was 124 years old, and the oldest neighbors say that it is likely she was correct, as no one remem bers a time when Aunt Peggy was anything but an old woman. Her oldest living child, Charlotte, is over 100 years old. These colored people have always lived in and about Ghent. Charlotte is still an active woman, and Aunt Peggy was a wonder for her age. A young man in. Emporia, Mo., re cently received a letter from his sweetheart in another town and in it he was told fo "look under the stamp on the envelope." The young man spent an hour steaming that let ter, and when he finally got the stamp off he read: "Was it hard to get off?" The match may be off as well as the stamp by this time. That Ohio woman who counts her descendants at the census figure of 3G7 and at the age of 104 is sound of mind, vigorous of body and warm of heart, is one of that class of old-fash ioned domestic divinities being super seded but not improved upon by the new variety of domestic diminutives. OUR RELATIONS WITH CUBA. kouiuliH'M nml JuKtlce of tlir Tcriim 011 Which the IMIIIIMI HUM II 11 i'reiitiMl, It is difficult to find any ground for partisan opposition to the agreement reached by the United States senate committee on relations with Cuba, formulated as an amendment to the army appropriation bill. The amend ment. it adopted, will be a notifica tion to Cuba of the conditions under which the United States will with draw from exercising sovereignty over the island. Our government lias never claimed that snob sovereignty was more than tempuxavy. The terms require that the govern ment of Cuba shall never enter into a treaty with any foreign power by which its independence will be im paired or any lodgment or control over apy portion of the island be conceded to such power; that the government shall not assume or con tract any public debt beyond the ca pacity of the ordinary revenues to meet; that the United States shall have the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence and the maintenance of an adequate government in accordance with the terms of the treaty of Paris; that all acts of the United States in Cuba during our military occupation shall be ratified and validated; that the government of Cuba shall execute and extend the plans already devised for sanitation of the cities of the island, with a view to preventing the recur rence of infectious diseases and pro tecting the commerce of Cuba; that the Isle of Pines shall be omitted from the constitutional boundaries of the new republic, the title thereto to be left to future adjustment by treaty; that in order to maintain the independence of ( üba the t'nited States shall have coaling wid naval stations at specified points; and that these provisions be embodied in a per manent treaty with the United States. 1 lie amendment has the unanimous approval of the committee 011 rela tions with Cuba, which is composed as follows: Republicans—Orville 11. Piatt, of Connecticut; Xelson W. il drich. 01 Rhode Island; Shelby M. Cul lom, of Illinois; .Tames McMillan, of Michigan; William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, and John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin. Democrats —Hernando 1). Money, of Mississippi, and James I*. Taliaferro, of Florida Silver Re publican—Henry M. Teller, of Colo rado. Populist—Marion Butler, of North Carolina. There could hardly he a body more diverse in political opinion than that committee. Sen ator Teller, who is a member, is the author of the Teller resolution which guaranteed independence to Cuba. His indorsement of the proposed plan of adjustment strengthens belief in its soundness and justice.—Troy Times. THE CLOSING CONGRESS. Willi I I)e 111 Of rn tie Opposition II h* Done to Swell the Ex penae*. When the figures of appropriations are put together for the total, and analyzed for the details, it will lie found that the outgoing congress has been one of the most lavish con gresses ofi record, apart from the extraordinary expenditures rendered necessary by the results of the war with Spain. The republican party will be at tacked for this by the opposition; and justly, for, the republican party is responsible for the size of the appropriations. Vet there is one thing to be said in regard to the stern virtue with which democratic orators and demo cratic newspapers are likely to de nounce the total. Xo honest effort has been made by the minority in either house of congress during the session just end ed to check extravagance or to in culcate economy. There has been a pretence of it in the house, but only a pretence. The democrats in congress have been more frantic, if anything, than the republicans in the hungry assault upon the contents of the pork barrel. More than this. The future his torian will probably discover good evidence, if he tries to find it, that democratic opposition and obstruc tion to the two most important and imperatively urgent measures of th;- session, the Spooner amendment con cerning civil government in the Phil ippines and the declaration concern ing Cuba, were practically bought off at the last with the river and har bor bill, the supplementary public buildings bill and other costly enact ments much desired by individual democrats in the senate and house for private, local or political rea sons. That is part of the price we pay. —X. V. Sun. >o Itoom for IliiiiUt, There can be no room for doubt henceforth as to the political status of men who give utterance to their views concerning the insular posses sions of the United States. If they favor the policy of the administra tion as to these possessions they must be classified as republicans. All who oppose it must be classified as democrats. This is not one of those minor issues as to which a man may dissent from his party and yet insist with propriety that he shall be accounted loyal to it. This is no nonpolitical question to be settled without regard to party lines. It -.s a political question of paramount importance. The republican creed concerning it has been established finally by high and competent au thority. Dissenters from that creed cannot now te republicans.—Chicago Tribune. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1901. WHAT HAS HAPPENED. I iiliiiiki'il-l'iir ICvrnta Tluit llnvc Tra UM|»I rctl I niter the McKln !<•> A<l mini* t rut lon. Four years afro no one dreamed that the incoming administration would In' called upon to embark upon the unknown seas of world-vide af fairs. The cloud over Cuba appeared, but few men thought it would result in war between the United States and Spain. For more than a year Presi dent McKinley resisted the influence that bore *he country into the con flict over Cuba, and he only yielded when the whole country seemed to demand that the United States should intervene to put an e*>d to Spanish outrage. I'he early termi nation of the "var and the settlement by treaty g»Ve us the Philippines, where our first naval battle was fought. «Many assume that it would have been better to have left them with Spain to sell to some European government, but there is reason to believe that, as the months pass, the opinion is gaining that it is better in every way to hold the archipelago, not only for our own good but for the good of the natives and the wel fare of the world at large. A few months after the ratification of the treaty of Paris the question of the future of China assumed much importance. The scheme most talked of was the partition of China among the powers. While that discussion was going on the president secured a treaty from all the governments that the United States should have the same rights in the markets of China as the governments that might control the territory. Then came the outbreak in China. Our great success in the affair with Spain and our holding of the Philippines gave this country an advantage and an influ ence it would not otherwise have had. We were able to lie among the. first to land troops in China to rescue the foreigners. Our seasoned troops, with their experienced commanders, were the most effective while the conflict lasted, and t»c most orderly when it was over. We won the good will of the silent Chinese by being the only nation which did not loot and by in sisting upon fair treatment for that nation. The most prominent factor in the assemblage of powers, we have prevented the dismemberment of China and influenced the nations to treat that people with something of humanity. Whatever it may be to us in commerce, no candid person who informs himself can doubt that our possession of the Philippines has al ready been beneficial to the natives and flint our hold of Cuba is for the advantage of the Cubans. This unlooked-for participation and potential influence in world-wide events, so unlooked for four years ago. is the natural sequence of our going out of our accustomed orbit to rescue Cuba. Whether we approve or disapprove, it cannot be denied that this sudden appearance in the world's affairs has been most successful. Xo other nation that could have kept out of international affairs could have en tered and been a potential leader in three short years in the greatest events in which the nations have been called to participate. Great Britain's participation in foreign affairs as a world power for generations has not giren it more power in the councils of the nations than has come to us within four years. Are those who study this wonder in national devel opment to be regarded as irreverent because they call these achievements provident ial ?—lndianapolis Journal. CURRENT COMMENT. J. Bryan says that the presi dent is now clothed in imperial pow er. And yet business appears to be going on about as usual. —Washing- ton Star. tO-It could not have been exceed ingly difficult for a Buffalo waiter to impersonate Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan is something of a waiter himself.— Detroit Free Press (Dem.). P'What the democratic party needs, and needs badly, is (1) a pol icy and (2) a leader. To judge from the recent session of congress, it just now stands for nothing—not even for unreasoning opposition—and it has no leader or leaders to com mand after t ion and to evoke respect. —lndianapolis News (Ind.). ICTTt is said the president has ad vices from Cuba to the effect that, the conviction is growing in the is land that the relations defined in the resolutions of congress between the island and the United States is the only safe policy for the Cubans. The conservative and intelligent res idents who uphold the industrial en terprises of the island favor the plan of congress.—lndianapolis Journal. trrThose who are objecting to this government's exercising control over the new Cuban republic would hardly say that a boy without experience should lie trusted to fill a man's place free from restraining influence. When the Cuban republic has been given a trial conditions may change to such an extent as to make it pos sible to give it free rein as an inde pendent nation. In the meantime the interests of the United States should be protected. Cleveland Leader. tcy'Phe amendments to the army bill are not to be found in those words in the republican platform of 1!i00, but the policy they embody was substantially approved at the polls last November by an overwhelming majority of the American people. At that same election the policy of the administration with reference to I'orto Kieo had the stamp of popular approval placed on it. It is definite ly and unquestionably a part of the creed of the republican party.—Chi cago Tribune. WRITES OF NOBLE WORK. Ml»« Helen <.Oll Id Telia of U lmt the Women'* Auxiliary llopea (<> Ho lor Sailor*. Miss Helen Miller Gould has, in a modest way, entered the literary field. In the March number of Suc cess there is a brief article from her pen on a subject known to be close to her heart, "The Saving of the Sol dier and the Sailor." In it she tells, in a simple, practical way, of the work that the women's auxiliary in tends to do in the new shore home for the jolly jack tar, which is Hear ing completion just outside of the Brooklyn navy yard, and into which Miss Gould has cheerfully put about $400,000. She invites the co-operation of patriotic American women in help ing along the good work. Miss Gould says: "Nowhere in the range of uplifting activities does there exist a better field for usefulness than in the im provement of tiie social surroundings of the enlisted men of the army and navy. This is the semi-patriotic work in which the ladies of the women's auxiliary of the international com mittee of the Young Women's Chris tian association have been engaged since 1899." Sure Sign* of Age, The writer of "Feminine Xews and Views" gives these sure signs of old age in woman: 1. When letters to girl friends are mostly addressed "Mrs." 2. When she be gins to care a great deal about the supper at an entertainment. 3. When she feels a sud den interest in church and charity work. 4. When she is attractive to very young men. 5. When she realizes the folly of dressing in sober colors. 6. When she c«n pares the new way of wearing the hair with that when she first put hers up. 7. When—most fatal of all—the gravity of youth gradually gives way to incipient kittenishness. Knowinit and Telling.

AFTER-EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE. THE after-effects of the grip are often disastrous. It is commonly known ■ to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complica tion; which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the disease. Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symp toms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare in results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about it. Washington, Feb. 4,1899.

Ilartman, Dear Sir:—"l write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when several of my frends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna. I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed your directions which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends." TRIP charter member of the International CAUSED Barbers' Union, MCDwnnc writes from 15 West- IMtHVUUo ern avenue Minneap- DYSPEPSIA. polis, Minn.: ' "Following a severe attack of la grippe, I seemed to be af fected badly all over. I differed with a severe backache, indigestion and nu merous ills, so 1 could neither eat nor sleep,and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me."—D. L.
