War Talk.
I confess to au innate love of wnr ;
that wartiul matter faxciuate me; that
I fuvor a spirited foreign policy, and
am Jen Ion J iu defense of the majesty
aud honor of the nation. It i no timid
ity that prompt thee reminiscence
and reflect ion. Yet I believe that in
thi ago of the world aud with our ex
perience we should remember what war
really in and how unexpectedly it ofteu
couio. Tbe cloud rise and pannes. Peo
ple say "the war scare" i over. Yet
they continue to talk war recklessly at
interval. Mouth go by, and perhaps
year. Then suddenly the cloud cover
the heavens, and the tempest bursts.
Every intemperate word, every rush or
unnecessary duflunce, has gone to swell
and surchurge tbe cloud. It is the people,
after all, who make war in every coun
tryor niuke it possiblo. Aud they
make it iiot so much ty a declaration of
the congress or the king as by their
cureless or uuuicusnred utterance iu
times of peace. War is sometimes in
evitable, but every citizen has a re
sponsibility, not simply individual, but
national, to avoid briugiug it on by
fiery speech when the issue of force may
honorably be prevented by manly self

An All Night Seare.
Young Englishmen visitiugthe Unit
ed States have as many absurd and
amusing experiences as Americans have
when iu foreign countries. The .Wash
ington Star tells of an English traveler
who had been assured thut west of the
Missonri river the entire country was
iufestetl with, bears, some of which were
so bold thut thoy came into the towns.
He stopped in a Kansas village, aud
in tho eveuing started out for a walk.
The stores wero closed, but the moon
was shining brightly. He rambled
about tho place for a couple of hours,
and started down the business street for
the hotel. Suddenly he saw before him
on the eidowalk a big bear, sitting on
its haunches, with open mouth and
paws extended, awaiting his coining.
Iu a moment he was on top of a
porch, crying for help, but uo one heard
him, and tbe bear sat and watchod him.
All night long he staid there, trembling
for fear bruin would climb the post, but
comforting himself with the idea that it
was too Binall to be used by a bear.
At daybreak some men cunio along,
and one of them wheeled the bear back
to the doorway with the remark, "I
wonder who put thut sign in the middle
of the walk."
The tourist desceudod from tho porch
without detection, and had he not sub
sequently enjoyed the story so much
that be told it himself it would never
have beou known.
In the midst of u 6tormy discussion a
gentleman rose to settle the matter in
dispute. Waving his hund majestically
he began, "Gentlemen, all I want is
common sense."
"Exactly," interrupted another.
"That is precisely what you do want"

The Cows In the Mortgage.

and vouches for him. Tho man is a

cured by chattel mortgage.
The farmer wa obdurate and gave
no satisfaction that he would overpay
the note. Finally the collector said :
"Well, I'll have to take the 11 cow
named iu the mortgage."
"Oh, no, you haveu't got a mortgago
ou 11 cow ou thi farm."
"Why, yes, I have." And the collect

A Racial Difference.
There cau be uo question thnt very
many of the differences, mental and
bodily, that exist between the aver
age Frenchman and the average Eng
lishman are caused by tho distinct
methods of education that prevail on
tho different sides of tho channel. You
would not like yonr son' only school
ing to bo obtained in France. Ou the
other hand, you have a pretty distinct
belief that if French boy were sent
over here young enough and put to good
English schools, thoy would grow up
into a very fair sort of Dritou. A typ
ical story of the ways of Fronch school
boys, with their ushers, is reported in
recent morning papers. Homo spirit
had been smuggled into oue of the
dormitories a thing, we four, not al
together unknown in somo English
establishments. It is even conceivable
that the English muster who discovered
the bottle would have conliscuted it to
hi own use, but thi would not have
been at tho invitation of hi pupils.
Rut the French pion iu qnestiou wus
contented to niuke one of the party, and
as he was not so used to rum as bis pu
pils, he got so terribly drunk thut he
died. Happily for tho Fronch boys,

SOME INSIDE HISTORY
WALTER WELLMAN DISCOURSES ON
THE RECENT DONO ISSUE.
Why the M or can Syndic! Did Not Ut
th Whol Lot-To President at Oat
With Morgan -Why Stewart Lost a Good
Slsed Fortune.
Tho recent loan, despite its imprcs
liveness uud popular features, was nil
cicutitic and clumsy. Any one could
bid, whether he had gold or not. It is
pretty certain that millions were bid by
persons win) bad scarcely a gold dollar
to their names. These were speculative
bids, and they uro of course to he trans
ferred to banks or other institutions
, Which have gold or the menus of getting
I it. The result is that gold is practically
I at a premium in New York and Host mi.
It is a small premium, but just enough to
tempt the cupidity nf many men who
have bid fur bonds. If they find they
must pay un eighth for gold at a bank or
broker's, but can get it without a pre-
uiium ut tho subtreitsury, where cartage
expense may tie avoided by simply cur
' rying tho stuff from the pay to the re-
reiving window, where are they going
to get it? Hnmuii mil ure is human nu
' lure, und uo one has as yet discovered
I that it is uny less human among bunkers,
( lin kers and bond speculators than it is
1 among other people.
In this connection I um able to give
. somo secret history that is very interest
ing. Some weeks ugo the administra
tion wanted to place this loau with Mr.
Morgan und his syuiliciiie under condi
tions thut would protect the ri serve
Mr. Morgan was willing to undertake
tho task, but he declined to pay more
than 105. The administration offered
him the whole lot ut 1011, which was
equal to 8 ' percent interest. Mr. Mor
gan persisted, despite pressure, in ad
lierence to this figure, and then the
president decided upon a public loan.
The howls of certain new, papers and
the speeches of senators in congress de
nouncing private 'onus had nothing
whatever to do with the president's
change from a private contract to a
public, competitive loan. Mr. Morgan's
refusal to pay I OU determined that. It
was some satisfaction-to the president
to force Morgan to come up with an
offer, not alouu of 101), but of nearly
111, but ho would Ikj better satisfied had
he assurances that the sale at 1 1 1 were
going to protect the reserve anil make
another loan nuuecesHury before the
presidential election.
The newspaper writers who prate of
Pierpout Morgan as the favorite finan
cier of the administration do uot kuow
what they are talking ubout. President
Cleveland is out of patience with Mr.
Morgan. If auy financier may be regard
ed as the favorite of the administration
it is John A. Stewart of tho United
States Trust company. After the presi
dent had rejectutl Mr. Morgan's terms
of 105 a month ugo Mr. Stewart was
asked to take hold ami help make the
public loau a success. Ho did so, and to
ills efforts and iufluenco more than those
of any other man is due tho success of
the recent loan.
And yet Mr. Stewart was outtuanen
vered by Mr. Morgan us a bidder for
bonds. This wus hecuuso Mr. Morgan
had a friend iu tho syndicate which Mr.
Stewart bad urgauized for the purpose
of insuring the success of the issue.
With this information in hand, it was
easy for Morgan to outbid Stewart. If
Mr. Stewurt had been guided by the ad
vico of a Washington banker, one of his
friends, he would have beaten Mor
gan. Lust Wednesday morning this
banker became satisfied Morgan was go
ing to bitl nearly 111, uud hu wired Mr.
Stewart to this effect, uot once but
thrice. SStill Stewart refused to change
his bid. At tho last moment the Wash
ington banker filled out bills for a half
million ou his own account at 111 and
a little under, aud reached the treasury
ut just five minutes of noon. His bids
weut in, ho guts his bonds, uud mukes
125,000 or :(), 000 for bis quickness.
Stewart lost the chance to make u mil
lion or two.
The Stewart bids for bonds, all at
110.075, were put iu the bunds of treas
ury ofllciuls about 85 minutes before
noun. Tlio Morgan bid of 110 0H77wus
put iu five minutes later. The Stewurt
bids had not been opened when the Mor
gan bids came iu, und the Stewurt bids
were not iu the hands of the treasury
ofllciuls when the Morgan bids were fill
ed out and seuled in theoftlcoof a bunk
er two blocks from the treasury build
ing. The difference between 110.075

A Man With Visible Heart.
One of the must remarkable of all
human phenomena of which we find
records in tho history of physical soiciioo
was a young man whose heart and lungs
were not only visible, but could be
bandied by a second person.
This young man wa the son of the
family of Montgomery und lived In the
reigu of Charles I. While truvcliug
abroad he met with a very serious acci
dent, falling upon some Instrument
which pierwud his side aud left a large
open wound. Even when the wound hud
healed the cavity remuined.
The great Harvey, who discovered
this remarakblo youth, relates in oue of
bis Journals the strange story.
"When I paid my respect to this no
ble vouth und conveyed to him the
king's request thut I should bo allowed
to examine him,' wrote Harvey, " ho
made no concealment, but exposed the
left side of his breast, when I saw a
cavity into which I could iutroduce my
finger and thumb. Astonished with the
novelty, again und again I explored tho
wound, uud first, marvuling at the ex
traordinary nature of tho cure, set about
the examination of the heart. Taking it
in tbe fingers of one hund, and placing
the lingers of the other upon the pulseof
the wrist, I satisfied myself that it was
Indeed the heurt which I grasped. I then
brought him before the king thut he
might behold and touch soeitraordinury
a thing, aud thut he might perceive, as
I did, thut uules we touched the outer
skin, or when he saw our fingers in the
cavity, this young nobleman kuew not
thut we had tonchud bis heart."
It was in this way that Harvey proved
hi theory of tho Insensibility of the
heart to be correct. Pearson's Weekly.
