There is little maiden
Who has an awful time.
She has to hurry awfully
To get TO school at nine.
She has an awful teacher;
Her tasks are awful hard:
Her playmates all are awful rough
When playing i'll the yard.
She has an awful kitty,
Who often shows her claws,
A dog who jumps upon her dress.
With awful muddy paws.
She has q baby sister,
With an awful little nose,
With awful cunning dimplets.
And such awful little toes.
She has two little brothers,
And they are awful boys.
With their awful drums and trumpets,
That make an awful noise.
Do come, pray thee, common sense
Come and this maid defend,
Or else, fear, her awful lif.
Will have an awful end.

SPANISH SOLDIERS A POOR LOT.
But Still the Insurgents Seem to BE Ge.
ting Where They Must Fight.


But still the Insurgents Seem to Be Get
ting Where They Must Fight.
Here, however, comes in what is claimed
to be the weakness Of the Spaniards. The
troops are poorly fed, mere boys, suffer
ing from the effects of the climate, with
yellow fever. small pox and malaria, and
it is claimed have not the strength to push
on after the Cabans, who present quite a
different physical picture. 1t is also
claimed that the hearts of the Spaniards S
are not in the fight, while the Cubans are
in the struggle heart and soul Still there
is a feature Of the situation which Is
puzzling.
The Cubans are apparently marching
on Havana They number at most, it
seems, II, 900 men. Can they capture this
city, and can they hold it if they do oh.
tain possession Of it? There is the strong
garrison Of this place, the high walls Of
the forts and the Spanish fleet to be reck-
oned with. IL must be quickly done or
fail altogether. it would appear, for it
seems impossible that Campos cannot
gather together some kind of a force and
start in pursuit of Maceo and Gomez. In
any case the next few days should decide
everything. for there Is no doubt that the
Spaniards are making rs fast time as they
can after the Cubans and that the latter
are coming this way and dodging general
engagement.
The advance guard of their army is less
than fifty miles from here, where every
preparation is being made to give them a
hot receptions All the outlying posts have
been strengthened, the new fortifications
are being hurrietily pushed to completion.
ammunition Is being overhauled, guns
have been made ready and the troops are
kept constantly on the alert, although the
Spanish officials laugh at the idea Of the
insurgents being able to approach Ha
vana- But the most stubborn Of the Span
ish officers agree that the march Of
