Fads in Parasol Handles.

Although almost ezery variety of handle will be used, the latest freak of fashion is to have a slender inconspicuous handle of wood stained to match th-? color of the. shade. Aluminum will be used with all varieties’ of materials and all sorts of colors. The very newest parasol handle, which is <#uite too bizarre and expensive ever to become commonplace, is intended for the girl wit h athletic tastes. It is of light brown wood shaped after the fashion of a golf “driver,” and is decidedly ugly and rather awkward to carry.

Patriotism from the Press.

And since we mnst have war, it should be speedily fought. Everybody, whatever his previous desire may have been, prays now for resolute actioh, for swift and heavy blows that shall end the unequal struggle soon.—New York Journal. In thus executing the will of the people as declared by Congress, President McKinley will have the united support of the nation and the good wishes of the friends of humanity and freedom throughout the world. Spain has chosen to make peace impossible save through “the iron gates of war.” So be it.—New York World. The wise man has*said that “He that is slow toJanger is better than :he mighty, and he that ruleth his sp rit than he that taketh a city.” Under the masterful leadership of he President this nation has been slow to anger and has well ruled its spirit. Having achieved those hig|n r ends it will not miss the lower. It will show itself mighty and it will take the city of its foe. —New York Tribune.

No nation ever entered Into war with purer motives. We may ‘ are our element of the though 1- • ; ess who welcome it simply for the ake of fighting. But the attitude of the nation as a whole is without interest. • It comets no new territory nor any pecuniary gain. It simply realizes that the time has come when it must stand for civilization and drive the relic of feudal savagery from this liemisplier?. —Pittsburg Dispute!i.

And that it (this country) had every reason to bo moved to enthusiasm and to proud action should now be a guarantee of exceptional vigor in the war to follow. Spain must be punished for the blowing up of an American warship and the slaughter of 266 American sailors. Cuba i)iust’ be freed from the inhuman Spanish yoke. The war now opened should accomplish both these ends swiftly and effectively.’— St. Louis Republic.

Cuba, on the highest authority known to the government juidpeople of the United States, is today an American state. The long tight of patriotism and misery is won, and the only thing that can deprive Maximo Gomez of his righteous triumph, celebrated before all the world, is his death between now ami the retirement of the last Spanish soldier. The Spaniards in Cuba are invaders and they must go back to their trans-atlantic home.—New York Suu.

Never before in history has it happened that a great and powerful nation has taken up the sword without a particle of selfish motive and solely to right the awful wrongs of another people. The only cases which approximate in some degree to the case before us are those of medieval Europe engaging in wars with the Orescent in th a interest of the Cross of Christ—and those are scarcely to be regarded as parallels, because they are rather instances of superheated religions frenzy. Still, it may, in a general way, ba considered that the crusaders had, as a rule, no selfish motives regarding their service as a holy sacrifice.—r New Orleans Timcs-Democrat

General Lee is made of the right stuff. Some men in his place would now be haranguing the multitudes on a lecturing tour. Instead of that he quietly made his report .to the President, ns quietly expressed his desire to return to Cuba in a different capacity and then went home to his family.—Kansas Citv World.

A Klondike Letter.

The following letter from the gold fields is from L. D. Bond, a former Jasper county boy who is now’ on his way. to the Klondike, and was written for the Remington Press. Monday, April 4, 1898. —This is Monday noon and I am going to write and let you know lam all right, for I suppose by the time this reaches you, you will have read all about the great snow slide and the great loss of life. Weil, it was pretty bad but we were miles away from the worst and safe and dry in our camp, though we could see the snow break away and come roaring down the mountain side. I am alone this morning, the other boys are at work and I am staying with two of the St. Louis boys that came in the same party with us but do not belong to our crowd. They were -caught in the slide and taken out for dead but were brought around again. Ono in about half an hour and the other was unconscious for three hours, but we brought him too and took him home with us and today he is nearly himself again. He was buried ill 20 feet of snow for about two hours. Thirty-five men have been taken out dead up to noon today and no one knows how many more there ar.?, nor where dm y ar ', aad it never will be known until summer comes and the snow all go *s. It is a pretty tough story but I tell you all the facts as known up to noon today so you may know just what to believe. We are i safe. When it began to get bad I last Friday, the day I wrot ■ you I last, w?. quit the pass and skipp d I for this place and did not leave 'again until we went to help J. g out the dead and those n?r. ly n A'good many were revived although half were dead. Among i them one woman who had been : dug out once before in the morning. The ones that were caught were those who were trying to. rush ! things along in a fearful blizzard. It is estimated that four feet of snow fell in thirty-six hours, that is. on the mountain, it rained where we were. In a day or so we will be over and away from wh‘ re this all hapI pened and out of danger of snow i slides, etc. lam making bread • today and have to cut my own 1 wood to keei> up the fire.

STONE . It is written, “joy oometh in the morning, ” but in this instance it came when the sun of life was well adown the western sky, and following such a stormy afternoon as makes the contrast particularly striking. For over a decade and a half the venerable writer of the following communication had battled in vain against that most insidious foe of humanity, heart disease, in an aggravated form. Doctors had given his case up as hopeless and advised keeping him quiet till the end should come, but it was his good fortune to find that, priceless remedy, Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and in the following letter he states the result. Grass Lake, Mich., Dr. Miles Medical Co.. Elkhart. Ind. I have been troubled with heart disease 15 years or more. Most of the time I was so bad it was not safe for me to go out alone. If overtaken by one of my dizzy spells, I would fall, helpless. I had severe palpitation, shortness of breath, and sudden painful attacks that prostrated me. The only thing physicians did for me was to advise keeping mriet W In August last I commenced taking Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and before I had finished the first bottle, I found the medicine was a God-send. I have now used four bottles in all and am feeling entirely well. I have not had an attack of the trouble for some months. - lam 73 years of age, and have held a grudge against patent medicines all my life, but I will not allow this feeling to prevent me from giving my testimony to the great cure your valuable remedy has wrought in me. Ido this to show my appreciation of the great merits possessed by Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. Very truly yours, Samuil 0. Stonx. “Died of heart failure.” How many obituary notices contain these significant, words. The ravages of heart disease are confined to no locality. Its victims are particularly numerous among the most intellectual and finely organized. It is no respecter of age and its fatal ending comes very suddenly. Timely notice, however, is always given the person attacked, and if this notice is heeded, as it was in the case of Mr. Stone, and Dr. Mlles’ Restorative Heart Cure is promptly taken, almost Instant relief will be experienced and a complete cure generally results.
