much excited. don't believe Mr..
Peak would have cared a cent If he
had been there and seen how happy
she was. People are not all alike, you
know, and while the rest Of us take
things very cOolly now, Minnie gets
20 excited she don't know what to do
whenever We get ahead. l hope the
other side will soon catch up, so as to
make 1t interesting, and l do hope that
none Of our friends viii ever offer to
write anything that is not sweet and
proper, even for the little children to
read, FOR II they do, ! shall surely cut

ALAS!

Where did it come from-all the grace
VI the merry smile which made its place
With a shine and CLEAN,
Like bright sunbeam.
On Dorothy Mabel's dear little face?
The eyes are blue
They were in it too
t'or they had been dancing all the while
The dimpleS had spread,
And the lips so red
AL made up that beautiful smile.
Where did it go to? Ah-weH! well!
what a sorrowful tale to tell
Inc beauty and grace
Or the sweet, sweet face
All gone out with the cloud that fell
Ger the shining eyes
What sad surprised
Lowering, gloomy as darkest skies.
The dimpleS fled
And the lips so red
Pouted and curled. with the corners DOWN
Alas. to see
That a smile could be
CHASED away by an ugly frown!

Ambassador Raxard.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The House
committee on Foreign Affairs today
held a meeting and considered the
Barrett and Mccall resolutions rela-
tive to the speeches of Ambassador
B2yard. The committee decided to re-
port the Mccall resolution in a modi-
ned form. AS agreed upon it calls
upon the president for information as
TO the alleged utterances of Mr.. Bay
ard, and the correspondence on the
subject
The Cuban revolution was brought
before the committee through a resolu-
ton for recognition of the insurgents
introduced by Mr.. Bingham, of Penn
sylvania. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that Congress
should take action until further in
formation was in hand, so a resolution
calling on the state department for
correspondence and information was
drafted.
The case of ex-Consul Waller was
brought up again, and the resolution
OF Mr. Miller, of Kansas, asking the
state department for the records of the
trial and the correspondence with the
French government will be reported to
the House.

VENTURA, Cal, Dec. 27.-Extraordi-
nary precautions are being taken to
conceal the identity of the man who
registered at the Anacaipa hotel as
H. j. Jones, a Chicago journalist and
who committed suicide on Nov. H.
The body was exhumed today and for
warded to ST. Louis. Some one from
that city telegraphed the coroner $500
to cover expenses of eXhumation and
the undertaken was engaged on the
condition that he give no information
as to the identity of his subject. To
further conceal the identity of the sui
eide the body was shipped in the name
of the railroad agent at st. Louis with
no indication as to the name of the
friends who have taken so great in
terest in the matter. All the informa-
ton furnished is that the suicide was
wealthy and prominent in social cir
cles in st. Louis.

CuBANS AT WORK.
sPANIARDS FEEL THE POWER OF
THE INSURGENTS.
Burn Villages and Destroy PIanta-
tiOns of Many Hundreds OF Acres
Gomez and Maceo Not in Retreat

HAVANA, Dec. 27.-The insurgents
have burned the village of Pedroso
and in the district of Guantamo they
destroyed the cane fields of the plan
tatlons OF Soledad Las Carras, Santa
Cecilia, Romelia, Santa Isabella, of the
colonies, San Antonio. san Carlos. san
Miguel, Santa kCsa, Confiuente, Santa
Maria, San lldefonso, SANTA he, san
Luis. San Sebastian, Samoa Ana del
BaJlllo, in all over 1,500 acres.
At MatanZaS every preparation has
been made to resist an attack upon
the part of the insurgents, and as TINS
is an official announcement it would
seem to confirm the impression which
prevailed among the friends of the Gu
bans that the report that Gomez, Maceo
and Bandera are in retreat is not quite
correct. Three field pieces have been
mounted before the palace of the gov
ernor at Matanzas, the windows and
doors have been barricaded and the
building is filed with troops ana volun
teers.
Troops and volunteers are also station
ed at ali the strategic points and two
WarshipS are said 10 be on their way
there 10 reinforce the naval contingent
already ON duty at that port. The
authorities clam that hundreds of FAM
lies from the province OF MatanZas are
hooking into the capital of that part OF
the country, while ON the other hand the
Insurgents assert that they have been
strongly reinforced from the population
of MatanZaS since their columns entered
that province. Here in Havana, in spite
of the reported bad POSITION of the in
surgents, the work of preparation for the
defense of Havana Is being pushed with
all the vigor possible, and all the regular
soldiers and volunteers who can be spar
ed are being hurried to the front. Pro-
visions are being collected cattle are be-
ing driven in and everything denotes the
greatest anxiety and excitement a state
of affairs not at all in keeping with the
glowing reports of Spanish victories and
insurgent defeats which are announced
here.
Many people are convinced that if
Gomez succeeds in pushing hls forces to
an uprising OF the friends of the lnSur-
gents here is not at all unlikely.
The authorities are not blind to the
fact that there is a strong element among
the younger male population Of this city
which is in strong sympathy WIN lne
insurgents, and in case of serious trouble
with the Insurgents outside the city, it is
an open question whether the fire de-
partment and the bulk of the civil guards
and volunteers here could be counted
upon for any length of time.
The merchants of this city, while still
Loyalty supporting the government, are
forward with d great deal of alarm TO
the prospect of an uprising here and the
entry of the insurgents into Havana
which. ii is claimed is certain to be the
signal for wholesale looting and other
disorders.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 27-Judge
Morrow rendered an important opinion
in the United States district court to-
day on a writ of habeas corpus asked
for by Gee Hop, a Chinese who arrived
from Pekin three months ago and was
refused permission to land although
he had papers showing that he had
been naturalized by New Jersey
court. Commissioner Heacock, who
took evidence in the case, recommended
that Gee Hop be remanded for the
eason that there was no law confer
ring the right Of naturalization upon
Mongolians or natives of China; that
the judgment of the court of common
pleas of New Jersey naturalizing Gee
Hop was absolutely null and void for
want Of jurisdiction, and that, there
fore, Gee Hop was and is not a citizen
Of the United States, as claimed by
him, and cannot be permitted to land
in this country.
I'm this conclusion" Judge Morrow
said, 4 heartily agree. The matter of
naturalization is exclusively within
the control of the government of the
United States and not of the states

Not Intentionally, you understand.
but none the less certainly
Through carelessness? Possibly.
Through ignorance? Certainly.
Calling spade a spade is some
times the only way to convey an idea
intelligibly.
Let us do a little plain talking.
From the moment of conception,
the little vital spark is dependent on
the blood and tissues of the mother
for nourishment and growth.
From the time it is born until it is
weaned the baby depends upon the
mothers milk for nourishment and
growth.
There can be no question as to these
facts. Can there?
If the mothers blood and tissues
are clean, pure. and free from poisons
the child before birth and after birth
will be strong and healthy.
Pure blood and rich blood are syn
onymous.
No PERSONS blood can be pure unless
the kidneys are working naturally
and healthfully.
The sole duty of the kidneys is to
purify the blood
Healthy Kidneys-Pure Blood.
Pure Blood-Rich. Pure Milk.
Rich. Pure Milk-Strong, Healthy
Baby.
This is not hard argument to fol-
low.
Because it is the truth.
Do you see its application? You
mothers with poor. frail, puny, half
nourished. and more than half-pois-
oned babies?
Do you wonder that their tender
brain and blood cannot resist poisons
and impurities that make even you
sick. dizzy, torpid and weak?
You owe it to your child your
Maker. and yourself to keep your kid
news active and your blood pure
Asparagus is the natural medicine
for the kidneys.

strengthen, to purify will be found in
