What say you to the "spirit-stir-

of "grim-visaged war? That's the
talk now. We are to free Cuba,

correspondent don't believe word

sound, when he will Immediately

The Centennial is getting to be a
bore, and if you are mad about the
mention of 1t, accept in advance
any apology you may dictate. But
it is a bore. However, it is ex-
pected that Congress will appropri-
ate million and a half to aid in
"the big show" which will be all
right, and will make Philadelphia
happier than anything that has oc-
courred since Penn swindled the
Indians out of the ground on which
it stands. Speaking of Indians re-
minds US that an effort is being
made to take Indian affairs out of
the hands of the religious people,
and put them in the War Office,
which would seem to indicate that
the Quaker experiments is failure.
This yeracious narrator has seen
some good Indians of the wild kind,
but all the good ones he ever saw had
been dealt with by the army, or some
one else opposed to the peace poll

cradle extent the origin ality of which the

don't have any nose nor teeth nor ears.
They swaller their victusls whole, and
chew it up in tn cir crops inside Of them.
The outside OF hens is generally put into
pillers and maid into fether busters. The
inside of hen is sometimes filled up with
marbles and shirt buttons and such. A
hen IL very much smaller than many other
snimsls. but they'll dig more tomato plants
than anything that ain't hens. Hens are
very useful to lay eggs for plum pudding.
