It Is a pot theory of various foreign
journal that tlio war for Cuban free
dom is a war of pelf and conquest on the
part of this country; yet tho fact Is that
the rccrultlnn of troops at $13 a month
has practically killed tho rush of young
men to the Klondike, where they could
earn $13 a day and run no yellow fever
chances. There's no pold for tho sol
diers In this enmpuljrn, but it Is brimful
of glory. -Philadelphia Wrnrd.
Much bus been said about waiting till
the inspiration comes before doing any
thing. This is a dangerous notion.
Possibly some genius has produced a
great poem or story or painting under
tho influence of a strange spell. Hut
thousands who have waited for the
spell arc waiting still, or have died
waiting, never having accomplished
anything. It is a spell of laziness that
troubles them. There is no short cut
to great achievements. It Is work,
hard work, steady work, that conquers.
The man who refuses to allow disincli
nation to stop him will finish his courso
with joy.
Tho biggest guns In the United States
navy are 411 feet long, big enough for
a man to crawl Into; four feet in diam

135,500 pounds, or thereabouts. The
powder used Is brown. A charge for
the biggest guns weighs 500 pounds,
and is hoisted to the breech by a du
rick, the powder being sewed up in
burlap bags. It costs $500 every time

The Sunday Schnnl 2'imtn in an cdr
rial on "The Uplifting Power of e
kood Opinion" says: "It Is better to bo-
lieve that a man may be bettor than he
fseems, than to suspect mm oi Doing
worse than he is. What he really is
we can never fully know; what he
seemB to be is not, in this Ufa, what he
fully is. At best we do not see more
, than a fraction of any man. Bis ideals,
his best yearnings are In a large part
Invisible to the world; his resistance of
temptations is carried on in strict pri
vacy, and his noblest triumphs forever
hold their own secret. And yet we
play a large part In this submerged
. ' ootid not of our neighbor. His Godward
aspirations und resistance power against
evil are both strengthened by our be
lieving him to be bettor than we see
him; hU liability to fall Is Increased by
- our suspicion that ho Is weaker or
worse than he really Is. Suspecting a
man helps to muke him worthy of sun-
. "irtolon; trusting him begets in him
trustworthiness; rospectlng him raise
him toward truo respectability."
Men and women who nave never
known what it is to have an abundance
of the good things of this life, who
have always been engaged In a hand to
hand struggle with poverty, sometimes
dream waking dreams in which they
Imagine that success has come to thorn
at last. This always takes the form of
wealth an Inexhaustible bank account
and power to command all life's luxur
ies. But It is open to question whether
there Is any reul success in the accumu
lation of material things. In a recent
issue tUe New York Times reooiiuta the
fCitfstory ot a resident of that city who
accumulated several millions during his
lifetime, but who lived in squalor and
misery and died surrounded by quarrel
ing relatives who had not a particle of
affeotlon for him and who were anxious
that he might leave the world In order
that they might come into possession of
his millions. Such a live oould scarcely
be called a success. A man may not
have ary surplus oatib; he may . find it
dlfiioult to make both ends meet, but if
- he have a roof over his head, a true
wife and loving children of whom he
feels that he may be proud, and if his
conscience U void of offense toward God
or can, he it what we would call a sue
c - ul man.' A 1 toon Tribune.
It is just as important to look after
tho morals of a town as it 1b to look
after commercial Interests. Had Punx
sutawney no churches, no schools, no
society of any kind where the highest
standard of morality is taught, there
would be no demand for houses, tho
price of properties would depreciate and
business men would soon seek a town
where it would be safe for an invest
ment. Tho highest stnndard of moral
ity that a town can attain makes it that
much more a desirable place to live in
and do business in. Tho person who Is
ever on the sido of high morals, public
spirited, alwnys foHtnringand encourag
ing all measures and movoments looking
to tho advancement of his town and tho
state of his people, is a public benefactor
even if ho cannot build public libraries,
endow asylums and institut ions of learn
ing. PnnxBUtawney Xnr.
