forming on this new soil.
Cuba's Great Grievance.
The grievance of Cuba, which has
lasted all these years, dates from this
early period. It wac, in its nature and
operation. the parallel Of the one which
brought about the bloody but glorious
birth of our own independence-that- is
to say, taxation without representation.
But there was vast difference in the
situation Of the Cubans. While our Rev.
olutionist fathers were vastly inferior
to the enemy in point of numbers, their
proportion to the whole number of fight
ing Englishmen who could be landed on
our shores was not of euch smallness as
to preclude all hope, whereas the mere
handful OF Cuhans were SO overwhelm-
ingly overmatched by the armed force
that Spain could muster as to be prac-
tically in her power after the first dem
onstration.
And 30 there have been insurrection
after insurrection and defeat after de-
feat, and the consequent horrible butch
cries of retribution, until Cuba, the
beautiful, the rich, the wonderful, has
been little more than bloody abattoir
wherein the lives and hopes Of q weak
but marvelously courageous people have
been periodically sacrificed.
But the immortal longing for liberty
could not be crushed cut Of the breast Of
the SONS of these patriots. and they, in
turn, have made the same struggle. But
the results Of these heroic efforts became

Tho Green Stage Managers Suggestion.
In his younger days Eugene Jepson

started on tour through Ohio. They
were booked to appear at little coun-

The opera house was built over lit.
tie grocery store, and the lanhy 20-year.
old son Of the grocer acted as stage
manager. After breakfast one Of Mr..
Jepson's employees went to inspect tho
theater. There he found plenty Of seen.
cry, but no furniture.
The deficiency was explained to the
grocer's son, and he was told to borrow
the necessary 'props" from the neigh.
bors in exchange for passes. ''Then, {"
continued the man from the east 1--WE
want some snow"
"snowp was the despairing answer.
Cant you get along without it7''
"No," was the response. ''It's absos
1utely necessary"
The raw manager thought awhile and
then moved of down the street, where
he found Mr.. Jepson, to whom he at
once put the query, ''Do we need snow1"

"Why, can't get a bit Of snow at
