Aiherican citizen should show his love of country it is at this juncture On tlfe bloodstained fields of Luzon thousands of our countrymen are heroically battlingunder the stars and Many 'other southern democratic pa piers are taking an equal ly patriotic position The Louisville Courier Journal the New Orleans Pic ayune the Chattanooga Times and oth er prominent papers in their section are demanding a vigorous prosecution of the way until American sovereignty is recognized in all parts of the domain Spain ceded To the United States in the treaty peace Secretary of Agriculture Wilson who returned 'to Washington tht other day fropi a trip to the Pacific coast reported that the entire west was solid for ex pansion Expansion sentiment is evi dently almost as widely diffused 'through the south As has been shown the leading newspapers 'of that region are for a vigorous assertion of the na tional authority in the Philippines and in all the rest of our domain in which it may be resisted Those papers must represent the sentiment of their com munity on this issue There are good reasons for believing that the east ie almost as earnest for expansion as the weslor the south The home of the Anti Imperialistic league is Massachu setts That state is the home also of Edward Atkinson and William Lloyd Garrison Yet Boston has furnished more soldiers in proportion to its pop illation to the new regiments for the Philippines than any other town in the United States There can be no reasonable doubt that national expansion will be a win ning issue for the republican party in 1900 Shrewd democrats see this and Those more intelligent democrats who see that 'to make ihe fne and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to ohe a leading fosue in 1900 means another disastrous defeat have found some consolation in 1he report that in one of his speeches in Iowa Mr Bryan intimated that the silver ques tion might be relegated to the rear There was no real ground for such a hope since it was heTU forth in the head lines of a half dozen papers but was not sustained by what Mr Bryan said But That slight hope Mr Bryan' himself blasted in his recent speech in Omaha when he said: attention has been called to a re port sent out from Des Moines to the ef fect that I was willing to subordinate the silver question to other questions and asked whether I was corectly reported I never said at Des Moines or anywhere else that the money question should be sent to the rear I have Insisted at all timesand in all places that the'money question will be before the country until bimetallism Is restored 1 have repeated over and over again that this nation' fnust act alone without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation and that sixteen to one is the only ratio at which the mints can be opened There is no possible excuse for the constant effort of the gold press to misrepresent the views of free silver men 1 have never for one moment thought a compromise desirable or Mr Bryan whatever may be thought his theory is wise from a personal point of view in sticking to sixteen to one He stands for that before the country and for nothing else There fore when he intimates a willingness that the silver question shall be over shadowed by any other issue he prac tically repudiates himself a thing which the Gormans the Whitneys the Morses the Taggarts and the mass of democrats who touch the actual busi ness world are anxious that he shall do In the course of the Omaha speech Mr 'Bryan said that trust ques tion is a great question but we can ETThe

the same time on the same feed he would not be long in choosing During the jmst ten months the Kansas experiment station has fed 190 hogs that were bought of the farmers in the vicinity of Manhat tan without regard ito 'breed or breed iag just as they were thrifty and weighing in the of 100 or 423 pounds This of hogs ie used because those experiments are for the highest benefit of the farmers And by taking the stock they raise we stay within their conditions A few eon elusions may be drawn from the follow ing facts taken from observations of feeding SO head of hogs which were just finished These hogs were nearer of Ue same age than size and ranged from the long big boned bacon hog to the short boned chunk according to the care or carelessness of the fann er who raised them irst as to point of gain: The comparisons are between hogs fed the same in every respect The best and poorest five out of twenty have Hie following showing: Best five weight at beginning of test 596 pounds gain 416 pounds 70 per cent poorest five weight at beginning of test pounds gain 235 pounds 40 per cent This was for a period of 42 days and from observations made from week to week this difference of gain from a lit tle over one pound to practically two pounds a day was largely dur to the breeding A short small boned chunk will make good gains for a few weeks and then stop It will be fat and ready for market a well bred' rangy hog will fatten and continue to grow and make good gains for a much longer period Then as to theylemnnd of the market The4hree rub boulder is now one of the most profitable cuts that is made for export trade Hogs from which these cuts are made must be large and muscular long and rangy The short small boned chunk will not answer the purpose The bacon hog is also of the

IleuMoning: Got Whnt He CHAPTER XXV A RESPITE It was a tragic episode but I had seen so much tragedy crowded into my life for the past few days that this quick and probably painless passing of a human soul made in my state but little impression 1 looked for the doctor but saw the doors of the forecastle fast closed and afterward found that the force of the water had slammed them on him knocking him from the ladder to the deck below A pity it was that there and then it had not been he instead of my plucky enemy who had firstplantcd foot to come aft Better for my subsequent happi ness would it have been if instead of the sailor that red faced drunkard had choked in the element he so despised The heaving into the wind and the drown ing of the seaman were the only events which roused my blood to a heat which make the details stand out in memory I might tell of the sufferings of Ames and Gertrude King and of their utter indifference and total abandonment to what appeared cer tain destruction but it would be useless The greatest agony of either sprang from seasickness and its attendingmiscries There was nut of us who thought of food which was probably fortunate as our stock brought on board was brine soaked and ru ined Even my toughened self and the tougher sailors lost heart and stomach in the deadening nausea that gradually seized us and kept its hold The doctor impris oned forward by the seas and too cowardly to show his head after his one attempt to come aft might have began another world for all we heard or saw of him The last drop of stimulant had gone and with it had gone the last of even fictitious spirits An unshakable apathy clutched our company and save that one lurch of the vessel was of greater violence than another nothing marked the events of hours ear had passed anxiety was dead day and night were meaningless terms We were only wait ing the final stroke a wrench an open seam and then the blessed end Mechanically 1 placed rain soaked cloths on the wounded ribs of my friend and on lhe gashed head of his sister and offered to them rain water squeezed from a square cloth of canvas It was not because my in terest in either ran high friendship for one and love for the other had fallen with my nerve force into a latent state and I bare ly responded to their to my own I responded not Mechanically I went to the deck only to meet the same lead overhead and the same towering majesty of water neither of which impressed me (for I was far past being impressed) more than 1 have since been by a liat calm The pitiless rain in my face and eyes would rouse in me a dull sense of discomfort just as a sleeping child unconsciously resents dis turbance but that was all I would go be low meeting the lack luster eyes of the sail ors who had also sought shelter in the cabin and the deathlike forms of the two on the floor and feel that we wore all sink ing into the languor of starvation and pro longed strain By the end of the third day the Phan tom was practically a floating wreck though for all I could see not a line had parted nor a spar other than the topmast been dis placed But there was no longer a buoyant lift to her bows and the seas ran danger ously near the level of the a fact that plainly spoke of water in the hold it hav ing drained from above or leaked between her strained planks There had been no at temptaj? pumping for no man could have stood at the brakes in the deluge that came aboard and now we were settling helped mightily by the nature of our cargo But the knowledge of it gave me no trouble nor was there a comment

relief to his torment Behind him appeared the head and part of the body of the now sobered surgeon at whose advice he had doubtless taken the recklessstep of leaving the forecastle The man in advance seemed dazed for he hesi tated and almost fell as the head of the schooner rose to a billow but with an ef fort he turned toward me and staggered a step Torward At that instant 1 saw a huge sea lifting ahead its ridge tottering to a fall its fine crestrent by the wind blow ing to leeward like smoke and as I marked it I threw up one hand and shouted to the man to get back Whether he understood or riot I shall never know for ere he had gotten abreast the foremast the vicious roll er boarded the 'Schooner with a roar and at once the fellow disappeared I him a second later borne swiftly along the decktoward bulkhead passage and before bne could shbut he was swept into the sea as a' bucket ofwater would have swept away a chip Again I marked him drifting sternward on the crest of a wave with one hand Jn the air as in appeal his set white face looking lik paper as he gave a last terror stricken glance at me and a shout unheard save by his Maker To lift a finger fior his rescue was beyond all but Divine power and though he was no more than length from me he was as fairly seized by death as though clutched by a fatal malady Battle of Manila Wabwh Avt Sooth of

Buffer Beets for Hogi The best root for hogs is the beet Ail beets have more or less sugar but it Is better to grow the sugarbeet even though it may not yield so largely as do the large coarse varieties There is no time in the growth of beets when they are not acceptable food for hogs con fined to their pens They are better feed and more cheaply: grown than clover considering the waste of the clover when it is either pastured or cuP and fed green There is little nutriment in clover until it gets into blossom If fed then hogs will nose the clover over to get at the heads and will eat very little else But the whole of the beet including the lepves will be eaten provided the leaves are fresh In nearly all cases the price of fruit and vegetables in a package is fixed by the worst

exactly opposite thepoint from which it broke on the night of August namely southeast And with it came rain a pent iip dekige that laced the sea and sky with parallel lines like strings of polished steel wire While we held the wind astern it was endurable but later when we bore into lhe gale face could not suffer long exposure to the blast that drove the liquid pellets before it like volleys of buck shot We had not held our way for long when it became plain that to escape by running was impossible as the following seas reached a height and speed that threatened to poop the schooner at any Moment It had finally came to laying to or being wrecked out ofhand and every opening in the vessel was closed as tightly possible in preparation for the move It was an anxious moment when the ma neuver to come about was made Each one was lashed to his post and when I gave the order to jam down the helm I knew that salvation or destruction might lie in the coming brief minute The wind with which we had been fleeing fell as we struck the trough of the sea the mountainous billows making a fair lee to the deck I had closed my ej'es as the wheel flew over and when from an instant of com parative calm the gallant vessel rose and I Gio solid blast in mv face instead of in the ecstasy of my relief from long nervous tension shook hands with the sailor by my side as though he had been my lifelong friend instead of an enemy on whose death I had determined the night before Even though we were safely hove into lhe wind the gale so increased in force as to make it impossible to carry even a double reefed mainsail and there were no means at hand for further reduction of canvas saving to take all in I met the difficulty by mak ing a sea anchor of the wreck of the top hamper binding the mass together and heaving it overboard with a line attached then by stripping the vessel of its last rag to this drag we rode across the fearful bil lows with less straining now 'pointing squarely into the eye But though the antics were reduced in violence and Ave existed in com parativecomfort the schooner was far from being secure since the whole seas that rose and eomUd over the bows threatened again and again to swamp the craft for ere her scuppers could relieve her of the terrible weight of water from one wave another would follow and tear aft at times driving' her bow fairly under There was nothing to do but knock away great sections of tho bulwarksdo give free drainage to the flood and this done we could but stand and wait for what fate had in store It was when we were thus driven to in action that one life was lost I was stand ing by the wheel drenched exhausted and fast falling into my former state of dull apathy The galley doors had been fastened to keep out the water and the forecastle hatch was closed though not secured Larry and the New Bedford' man were closerto me crouched in the lee cabin house Togo forward was to court death and though the quarter was no place for a seaman off duty all attempts at discipline andsea eti quette had given way before the common danger and both men kept aft to be clear of the rush of the sea In a half dreamy I was conning the horizon dead ahead when I saw the fore castle door open and the man who had de fied me step to the deck at an interval when for a moment the deluge had subsided He suffering agony from his wrenched arm for his face was working and he held tle wounded limb in his right hand The pain of it had probably driven hip to despera Continued looked sharply the third man ex netting some word from

ferocity and the listless droop uf arms and shoulders to tense musdes anl rounded chest through the hairiness of which the perspiration stood out in beads Even with this menace before me I could but think what a simple fool the man was Instead of quietly following my lead and getting me at a disadvantage he had chosen to beard me against the odds of my cutlass and the lukewarmness of his mates At the $ame thne it no for argument nor would it do to temporize an instant Ere lhe promise of reward for my capture or the easy chance to regain control of the schoon er could act upon the slowly moving minds of the well disposed seamen I had nipped theinutiny (if it could be so called) and had the ringleader begging for mercy Without drawing my cutlass I advanced upon the fellow as though to close with him I mind me now that he was left handed and as tho fist holding the knife swayed aloft tnd came down Incized its wrist and with a violent turn whipped his elbow out of joint as one twists the leg from a wcll cooked fowl As my hand stayed his he clutched my throat with his right but as his joint parted he gave a howl of agony dropped the knife and my collar at once and sank to his knees roaring like a bull Physically the man had been no match for me and I might have hammered the life from him and met with little opposition or resistance lidding him for a brief space that my power might impress his i companions as well as himself I dropped hm and he sank to the deck with a moan that made me almost regret my act But the demands of war self preserva tion pride and th? safety of
