I tell yon, my brethren, nod don't
you forget It, the good tiling* la thl*
life ere aot no unequally distributed a*
wo Imagine. One thing la certain, a
big pile of aurplu* money do»» not In
•ure happiness ami If 1 was u young
marriageable girl, [ would hesitate auu
ponder a long time before I married a
mac with money. It 1* u dangerous
experiment and nine time* nut of tec a
fetal one. It U like marrying a count
or a nobleman. X was ruminating
about this wblln rnsdlug about Anna
Gould aod her Count Caatcllaue und
about Nellie Giant und Martnris and
about tho Aston and Vanderbilts,
whose families havs bean smirched
with domestic scandal. And I was
thinking about many girls nearer home
who Berried for money and hays
wrecked their happiness. Muoli mou
ey Is a curse both to torn and woman.
Old Agnr’s prayer is as good philoso
phy now as It was 1 ,IXJC years ago.
Give me neither poverty nor riches,
There Is a skeleton In every rich man's
ctoeet. I know a good lady, a kind,
charitable lady, wbo has money lo
burn and does much good with Iter
large Income, but she does not dare to
keep ber jewelry at home aod kerpe her
$30,000 diamond necklace In Tiffany's
vaults and hasn't seen It In two years.
How wearily pass the hours when
there Is nothing to do—no aim In life.
How sorest the dreams of those who
earn their living by boueet wuik. II ow
happy the young mother whose time Is
absorbed In nursing and sewing and
caring for bar little children.
Every boar of the day brings some
new duty and new pleasure while aba
watches their development and feasts
her very soul upon their lonoceuce. I
was thinking shoot this, for yesterday
was my birthday aod our youngest
daughter put tags upon her two Utils
girls and sen. them up to roc early In
tho morning as n birthday present.
Hand In hand tbe little lnnooente
L’sms toddling along and ran to me
und climbed upon my knees and kissed
my old sunburnt cheek. There is uu
pleasure so sweet as that und their
mother needent to have lagged them
for they are mloe already, and they
know it. Fsthor end mother are both
jealous of tlielr love for me, but it Is
my oomfert, end will pass away some
Of tbeae days when I pass. My prayer
Is that my wife and I may live until
all uur little ones have learned lo know
us and to love ua. I want out forms
and faces and smites to bo phoio*
graphed upon their memories «nd to
endure ai a« long ae life endurva.
There 1: another one coming tomor
row— a Florida boy not yet two year*
old. One we have never eeeo. und he
will have to bo petted, too, and made
to love ns, and 1 will have to trot
around after Ulm and divide my time.
There are two doge be re Dial love
children, and (oar kitten* that don’t,
for I tell you tbeae llule chape are
hard upon kitten*. Then lliere nre

aod tbero it a pretty playbouie iu the
cabin, where they set their tablo and
give parties and pity storekeeping and
sell sugar and candy and fruit, and
use gun wad* (or money Mod make be
lieve everything tbey want to. And
there Is a great, big, open grove ell
u round, where they play tag nod mad
dog and where tbey make playhouses
around the roots of tbe big trees and
decorate them with broken plates and
chloaware aod empty cans and marble
chips. And there are raspberries and
blackberries down lu the eorner of the
garden and pretty flowers all abuet
and everything It hi free as water to
tbeae children when they come, and
tbey know It. Yes. they know It I
Wbit they break tuty bring to me to

This hones is a free hotel—a caravan
sary far children and grandchildren
and they know it—yes, they know It.
And it la the same for osar and d*ar

like It aod they like It, and It beats

I do not recall any other case of pil

As a matter of course wo will exact
a war Indemnity from Spain, wbeu the
conflict la over. Whether that indem
nity will be paid In territory or wheth
er wo shell I to Id Spanish territory ns
security for Ute debt until it is paid is
uncertain, but In one way nr uuothci
Spain will have to pay dearly.
It wuald be Impoostble for Spain to
raise at onoe nr in a few years a sum
sufficient to satisfy our claim, but she
might raise the money on some of her
islands.
Kations which lose In the Arbitra
ment of war have to pay the victor
very heavily.
In 187! Germany not only took the
greater pail of Alsace and Lorafne,
which France had held since the time
of Louis XIV, but was oompelled to
pay ai,OOU,OOu lu money. This was
equivalent to *8/WO fur every Qermau
soldier who was killed or wounded in
the war with France. With her won
derful resources, France was enabled to
pay l be war debt long before it was
due. and very soon alter the war in
which she loet tu> heavily was actually
more prosperous than Germany.
The war between Protein and Aus
tria In 18(10 lasted only a little more
than a month, hut Austria, besides
giving op very valuable territory bad
to pay a war Indemnity of 848.000.000.
ltossia demanded 8700,000.000 lor
the war of 1877, but the amount was
reduced through the mediation ot
other power* to *100,000,000 and near
ly half ot that Is yet unpaid.
Japan wanted to make China nay
rnacti more for her war expeusee than
the was able to gat.
Russia stepped In end compelled
Japan to accept much leva territory
and money tbau the demanded sail ex
pected. She got the islands of For
mosa aod Pescadores and 8l8fl,000,000
In money. A large part of the frnlte
of Japan's victory were appropriated
by Russia, England aod Germany.
The sultan demanded *3,0110,000 from
Greeoa at the conclusion of the faiel
eal war last vear, but the powers would
not permit him to exact more than
•10.000,000.
Our war with Spain lias already oust
an Immense sum. and will oust vastly
more. 8palo Is having a hugs aocmint
