"Not a single town ha ben abandoned that I of any Importance to u." he ay. "Then why did w tako ttum In the flrnt place T Th 'lr capture wo simply an Incident In tho campaign. We were after the Filipino, not tho towns. If the Filipino were In the towns, we had to attack them. Tho object wa to get (he lnurgU to fight and to ob tain possession of tholr arms, some thing even more valuable than the reb el thmnaelve. It moJo no difference to us, In a mratglc sense, whether we held the town or not. It wa really better to leave them, for In many cae they w.re extromeVy unhealthy.

The latest Invention of on ortillery shell I designed to cut a broad swath through an enemy's ranks, mowing down a whole regiment, as well ts working widespread destruction by Its explosion. When slipped Into the breech of a gun It looks like an ordinary shell, but the Instant It emerge from the gun's muaxle after the dlschiU'gtt It throws out four knlfo blade twenty Inches long. Thsy are like wines of steel, whose mission Is to mow down men like grass. The Inventor of what Is probably the most deadly dcvlcj for modern war fare ever proposed is William Whitney Christmas of Washington. He suggests that It would bs especially effective In the Philippine), to terrify the natives and kill them by wholesale. It la a well-kn.i.vn fact that man kind stands Infinitely more In awe of cold steel than of hot lead. Especially Is thl true of . half-savage tribe. Many a native will run from a mun with a sword wha would face death coolly looking at the muzzle of a gun The Idea of being blown to pieces by an explosive shell does not appeal to them as being so horrible. But to be butchered up with a bun dle of corn knives attached to a flying machine; to be literally cut Into mince meat by these weapons, and to be Houaovork io Hard Work without Gold Dust It lightens the labor of cleaning more than half and saves both time and money. It is "Woman's Best Friend, Dirt's Worst Enemy." Bm4 far In WoklH " OoUaa feeia for aoauri " THE H. K. FAIRBANK COMPAffT fc.Laala HtwTark blown Into atoms by the bursting of the shell o which they it re hurnewl-- thl Is a proposition that requires a very recklem kind of man, be he sav age or civilised, to face, Awl thl Is exactly what Mr. Chrlatmas hus In- Vented his baae.shell lo do. Th Inventor deft-ml the apparent hideous cruelty of the weapon by claiming that anything tendlrg to make war more terrible Is calculated to decrease the frequency of conflict between th various nations and to bring nearer the era of universal peace, It la very likely should any civilised nation attempt to u such a shell a protest might be evoked by the great powers that It Is ( barbarous fur civilised warfare. If U could not be uvd for this reason In molnT down exposed men the In ventor Insist It might be permitted for unmssklng batteries and for clearing out wo'kI and undergrowth. "I should say," he state, "that for clearing out cane brake and for clone underbrush work such a our soldier are now railed upon to perform almoett dally In the Philippine this shell would; be especially effective. With the JU'tlc Intm use of these shell any thick J' or jungle would ho quickly cut away.' P.oads rouVI be 'id up for the pas sage of troop, and a hidden enemy would b uncovered can short nolle.' The base-shell ran be used In al fli-ld batterle and Ird from all field guns." BIO HOISTINO CRANE. Baldwin locomotive Work the Great est Machine Bhops In the World. A hoisting crane that handle a lo comotive like a toy and whirl. It through spare at the rata of forty feet a mlnirto Is the latent mechanical de vice which the Baldwin Locomotive Work ha put Into ltn finishing de partment a a part of the greatest ma chine shop In the world. The crane Is run by electricity. Some conception of H si Be and power can be gathered by the following fig ure: It I S3 feet long, 168 feet wide and 42 feet high. It has a lifting power of 10 tons, which la more than the weight of any locomotive that has yet been built. 1 The finishing shop of Baldwin's has a working floor capacity of TO locomo tives, which moans that It is possible for this great American company to be at work on that many almost com pleted engines at one time. All the parts of the locomotive made In the other shops are assembl.d In this de partment and put togvtht-r. I Naturally when the huge bulks of all these parts were bolted fast and the engines took form the weight was enor mous. For a long time some difficulty was experienced In handling this weight. Wlwn an engine was finished' In one corner of the room It was not easy to bring It up to the oenter track, where It could be run out of th? shop and sent to Its destination. 1 That Is what the new crane Is for; that and lifting also any part like the boilers, tubing or cylinder truck Into place. The consrtruetkm tracks run across the short dimensions of the room. There are nlnnteten of them and they all end at tho brick wall except the center ones, which lead to 'the out side world. Cranes like this and other shop de-' vices for handling are the things which make It possible for American firms to complete their wk In such re- markable short time. To them Is due In a great measure the rapidity of the construction of the Atbara bridge, of tho Pencoyd Iron Works, which opened England's eyes so wide, and the rapid ity which enables the Baldwin Loco motive Works 4o turn out three en gines a day. The speed of this crane Is remark able. It executes three motions. One consists of running the entire crnne PISO f II ft m CURE 5S 8old by Druggists everywhere, I WW S'i'Mgi:tjl me from consumption.

The next motion Is that of hoisting an utiglne bodily so a to clear th other on th ground. It hoist them about forty ftwt In one minute. And the third motion la alorg Its own length, 15S feet In one minute. In other words, tho crane could lift a IW.OOO pound origin forty feet in the air, run with It 138 foot and set. It down again upon It tracks at the ottv-r end of the shop in Just thne minute and thirty-six seconds. With tools of this kind It become no longer a matter of wonder that six thousand men can turn out one thou sand locomotives In 365 day. One of the best rule In conversation la never to say a thing which any of Uie company can reasonably wish we had rothT left unsaid; nor can there be anything mora contrary to the end for which people meet together than to part unsatisfied with each other or themaelvea.

But there Is one drug store In Oregon where you can save from io to 25 per cent on everything you buy, and that ts X A. Clemenson's Drug Store, at 227 Yam hill street, Portland, Ore.

Railroad Are Acceding to Demands of Middle Classe Who Want Better Hloeplng-Car Service. In rpons to the demands of the times the O. R. V N. and Ita connec tion are placing In operation a much bettr grade of tourist sleeper for Pa cific const service than at any previous time. The largely Increased traffic to this section of th country has demand ed all the Improvement of latter-day transportation, and In consideration of this the railroad are establishing a rvlce which I excellent In every par ticular. Not only are the wishes of flrsl-closs passenger served, but those wno are traveling to and from the East on second-das tickets are splendidly cared for. There was a time when a tcurlat sleeper appealed to a limited number of people who were traveling on th "cheap" order, In every meaning of th term. Now, however, there ha been a radical change. With the bet tr tourist sleeper In operation th clas of passengers has been Improved, and on may now travel upon them and enloy all the privilege of a flrat- class sleeper at a greately reduced rate. Dally, on th O. R. St N. east-bound fast mall. Is attached on of these lat est Improved tourist sleepers, a model of beauty and handsome appointment. The new cars are almrst an exact counterpart of the first-class sleepers. One noticeable feature of th new tourist car la th absence of a imoklng apartment The new car being built by the Pullman Company ar not pro vided with smoking apartments. This new departure haa been taken because of the fact that mwt through train are provided with composite ear, wmch provide a smoker for th sleeping-car passenger.
