WHEN trade grew slack and notes fell
due, the merchants face grew long and
blue; his dreams were troubled through
the night with sherif's bailiffs all in
sight. At last his wife unto him said,
Rise up at once-get out of bed and
get your paper, ink aud pen, and say
these words unto sill men: My
goods l wish to sell to you, and
to your wives and daughters,
too; my prices are so very low that all
will buy before they co." He did as by
his wife advised, and in the papers ad-
vertised. Crowds came and bought off
all he had; his notes were paid, his
dreams were glad; and he will tell you
to this day how well did printers ink
repay. He told us, with knowing
wink, how he was saved by printers ink.
MAJOR GENERAL FRANCISCO VICENTE
AGUILERA, ex-Vice President of the in
surrectionary government of Cuba, who
died in New York recently, was fine
specimen of the Cuban patriot. At the
time the Cuban revolution WAS inaugu-
rated in 1867, his property in the vicin-
ity of Bayamo, Cuba, was valued at ST.
000, 900. As a native Cuban he had
always favored separate government
for the island, and he became one of the
leaders of the revolutionary movement.
He gave everything to forward the cause.
While he remained in Cuba he was one
of the boldest aud bravest soldiers in
battle, and when he came to this coun-
try in 1873, he came to devote himself
to work against the Spaniards. He led
several expeditions to Cuba under most
discouraging circumstances, and even on
his deathbed was busy with plans to for
ward the cause of the Cuban Republi-
cans.
