Tns sermon was just about well under way, when he noticed the little woman at bis side suddenly start. Then she turned red, looked around nervously and hesitatingly for half a minute, rose hurriedly from her seat and left the church. The young husband, feeling certain that his wife was ill, wanted to follow her out, but he is a bashful man, and the thought of the long centre aisle that he would have to traverse in the face of the whole congregation kept him rooted to his seat. He was pretty glad when the services were over, however, and he made his way almost at a lope for his little menage. He found his wife cheerfully busying herself about the kitchen. "Weren't you ill?" he inquired breathlessly. "Why, dearie me, you know I am never ill," was her reply. "Well, why, then, did you leave the pew so suddenly?" "I suddenly recollected, Jack," said she, "that I forgot to put the chicken pot pie on the back of the range before w-e left the house. Would my listening to a good sermon have compensated you for a charred dinner?" "Not much it wouldn't," said Jack, who is as human as they make them. Ivecplaiar Prlmrn.

It la the Caatillaa llif Which Floated Over the Cavlte Fort at Manila. The first war trophy captured from Spain is possessed by Hon. William EL Mason, United States senator from Illinois. It is the Castilian flag which floated defiantly from the heights of the Cavite forts and arsenal at Manila on May 1, in the face of Admiral Dewey's squadron. After the bombardment and surrender the flag was taken by a body of marines from the Olympia, and shortly thereafter the crew in a body sent the flag to Senator Mason in recognition of his manly and patriotic denunciations of Spanish intrigue and treachery in the destruction of the battleship Maine. The flag, accompanied by the following letter from the Olmpia's crew, reached Senator Mason in Chicago: "United States Flagship Olympia, ) "Cavite, Philippine Islands.May 12, "98.) "To the Honorable W. E. Mason, Senator, Illinois, United States of America: "Sir: Please accept the accompanying Spanish flag in the name of the ship's company of the United States flagship Olympia. "This flag was taken (after the destruction of the Spanish fleet) from the forts and arsenal at Cavite after the bombardment and surrender nila Bay, May 1, 1898. MaPLAT. OF CAVITB. "This is sent as a token of our esteem for your patriotic utterances in Congress with regard to the Maine disaster, which sentiments find a ready echo in the heart of every bluejacket serving under the Star Spangled Banner. "Very respectfully, your obedient servants, i -.4iaisnd for the ship's company). ' "J. S. ECKSTROM, Chief Master of Arms. "W. W. CREAGH, Chief Yeoman." The flag is ten by fourteen feet in length, having in the centre the coat of arms of castile with the lion rampant and the castle tower. The bars are three feet wide, two red, the centre being of a faded yellow. The flag is rent in numerous places from pieces of burst insr shells and rifle bullets, while the bunting is dimmed here and there by blotches of Spanish blood. General Milea. A splendid physique enables Gen, Miles still to enjoy all outdoor sports and exercises. He is a superb rider. sitting his horse with the graceful ease of a cowboy, and a lover of the chase. esDeciallv after the big game of the plains; yet he does not disdain, to gether with his charming wife (a niece of the late Gen. Sherman) to sit astride of the irrepressible wheel, which he has encouraged and popularized for military purposes. It is in the field that Gen. Miles shows himself the truest soldier. Quick, alert, fearless, and untiring, he imparts much of his admirable enthusiasm to all of his subordinates, from whom he exacts and obtains the most thorough and conscientious effort. He has been fortunate, it is true, but even ill luck could never have kept down a man of his capacity, invention and indefatigable energy. The civil war gave him the needed opportunity, and the Hispano-American war no doubt will crown his eventful career with added lustre and lasting glory. His recent study upon the ground of European military systems must have admirably supplemented a long course of professional reading, thought and training. Nowhere, perhaps, has he given great er evidence of his ability for important command than in his prudent insist ence upon tue invasion or Cuba by a large, fully equipped, well drilled and disciplined army. In this stand so freely criticised The Criterion says his reasons have been military rather than hygienic, and they have been heartily indorsed by authorities no less eminent than Lord Wolseley and the distinguished German experts.

The engine has been designed for mountain climbing, and it ia said that the big Piayer engines and those built for the Santa Fe by the Dickson Locomotive Works will be but playthings when compared with this giant locomotive. The engine will be built by the locomotive department of the Santa Fe shops in this city. Among its features will be a boiler built of one-inch boiler steel and cylinders whose dimensions will be 12 by 22 inches. It will have no "pops." as they will not be required. No fireman living would be able to build a fire that would create enough steam to burst the boiler of this mogul. The engine will have ten drivers, and it is estimated that it will be able to haul a third larger load than any engine the Santa Fe now has. It is not known just when this great, est of moguls will be completed, as the material for its construction has jast been ordered, but It will not be until some time late in the summer or early la the fall.

J I fancy," said the War department ! clerk in a reminiscent tone, "that the boarding houses of other cities are not strikingly different from those we have in Washington, and what may be said of one may be said of all of them, taken as a class and I am free to say, after years of experience, that the average boarding house ia more sinned against than sinning. However, to my story, and it is a boarding house in Washington. I have a roommate who is in the department of agriculture, and poses as a man w ho knows a good thing when he sees it, and only lives in a boarding house because Uncle Sam is too mean and close to board him at a first class hotel. Not long ago he was feeling like a last year's almanac, so he said, and as he got no better he concluded he would go and consult a physician. " 'Um er he said carefully, 'did you say you slept well?' " 'Fairly, doctor." " Tin er, take any exercise?" ' Some, doctor, but not much." " 'Um er. do you experience a sense of fullness after meals?" The patient became suddenly vigorous. " 'Of course I don't, doctor, he said with energetic confidence; "I live in a boarding house.' "The doctor wanted to charge him a dollar extra for it," concluded the clerk, "but he begged off."

This is a true story of an office boy who asked for an increase of his salary, and got it. He is employed in one of Upton's shops in Glasgow. He was getting eight shillings a week, and he thought he ought to have more. So he asked his superintendent, and the superintendent referred him to the manager, and the manager leaned back in his chair and said: "You must see Mr. Upton himself. He regulates all rises in salary." After a week of disappointments the boy succeeded in gaining admittance to Mr. Lipton's office. With shaky voice he asked for a rise in salary. "How long have you worked here?" asked the millionaire. "Four years." "And how much are you getting?" "Eight shillings a week." "How old axe you?" "Fifteen years old." "Why," returned"Mr. Lipton, "when I was your age I was working for four-and-sixpence a week, and I thought I was well paid. What do you think of that?" "Perhaps you weren't as valuable a boy as I am," was the respectful reply The boy got his rise. Sober and Suneeted. This is how he came to swear: It was 4 a. m. when he got home. He didn't fumble around the latch for an hour, stutter in nis talk or awaken every one in the neighborhood with an unseemly noise. He was sober; hadn't drunk a drop. Instead, he struck the keyhole a the first attempt and entered. All was quiet. He put his hat and coat on the hall rack and was about to take off his shoes before going upstairs when an old. familiar voice sounded gratingly on his ear: "Is that you, Jack?" "Yes, Nell." Then he began: "It's three minutes after 4. I did not let the cat follow me in. I've just re turned from one of our caucusses. The gas is turned down low. The doors are all locked; the windows fastened. paid the taxes this afternoon. Mary's baby's got the measles. That isn't our dog barking." And when he tumbled into bed Nell looked at him out of sleepy eyes and said: "Jack, you've-been drinking." What Pnzxled the Dortor. "That man is a puzzle to me," said the physician, thoughtfully. "I haven't the faintest idea what he is worth." "What difference does that make?" "Why, I don't know how much to charge him for my services. If he is inside of a hundred thousand I want to make a reasonable charge as a prac ticing physician, but if he is worth more than that the proper thing to do is to call myself a specialist and make the price to suit."
