Deserts.

Deserts.
Many phases of human nature assert
themselves in public conveyances, but

light in making his business affairs
known to the public crowded IL"
train is just the place.
There you meet the man going down
town in the morning who tells his
friend in general, but the whole car in
particular, what his business methods
are; how many dollars worth of goods
he sold last year, how he got the best
of others in trade, and so on. What a
bore and nuisance these individuals
are can be best appreciated by one who
is doomed to listen to these uninterest.

On crowded train the other day
were two of this class of individuals
who persisted in making themselves
particularly obnoxious to the passen.

They had hardly entered the car at

THE oALF.pArH.

ono day through the primeval wood
CALI walked home, rs good calves should,
But made trail I'll bent askew.
Acrookod trail, as all calves do.
sinoe then two hundred years have fed,
Ana, infer, the calf Is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale
The trail was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way,
And then wise bell-wethsr sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him, too,
Asgood bell-wethers always do
And from that day, DER hill and glade,
Through those old woods path was made,
And many men wound in and out,
Anddodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words OF righteous wrath,
Because twas such q crooked path;
But still they followed--do not laugh
The hrst migrations OF that 0 alf,
And through this winding woodway stslket
Because he wabbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became road,
where many poor horse, with his load,
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And trAv eled some three miles In One
And thus century and q half
They trod the footsteps Of that calf.
The years passed ON In swiftness fleet
Tho road became village street,
snd this, before men we're aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare,
And soon the central street was this
OF renowned metropolis
And men two centuries and half
Trod In the footsteps Of that calf
Each day hundred thousand rout
Followed the zigzag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
Tho trafic Of q continent.
A hundred thousand men we're led
BY one calf near three centuries dead
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost ono hundred years day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To we'll. established precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach,
Wero ordained and called to preach.
For men are prone to go 1t blind
Along the calf-paths Of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They follow In the beaten track,
And out and in, and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods laugh,
Who saw the first primeval calf
Ali many things this tale might teach
But am not ordained to preach.

General Santocildes on July II, the a,l-

General Martinez de Campos, despite
repeated inquiries to Santa de Cuba

general uprising has taken place il the
province OF Matanzas, which has been
in restless condition. The defeat Of
the Spanish troops, when Santocildes
was killed, has given an impetus to the

of Santiago de Cuba, where the iron
miners have joined the rebels. .5.5

Maxine Gomez explaining his reasons
for the proclamation forbidding work
On the plantations for the supply Of
provisions to the town. He says that
while Spain obtains sufficient revenue
from Cuba to pay her soldiers the Off
cials will continue to rule. When the
revenue ceases they will retire. This
practically means that the insurgents
are prepared to ruin the whole country
in order to force Spain's hands. .35t*%

the contracts. contained clauses provid-
viding for their annullment if the ores
could not be mined and shipped be-
cause of strikes, and there is claimed to
be reason to believe that the owners
are satisfied to have the men strike, to
either retain their ores or compel con-
sumers to raise the prices agreed upon.
Of course, this is only rumor, but it is
a plausible story and will find many
believers, though it is scarcely likely to
be entirely true. It is true, probably.
that the owners do not look with great
sorrow on cessation Of work, when it
