Feminine Reside Is Of Havana.


The Cuban woman is considered
handsome for a tropical country. but
outside OF Cuba her beauty would be
questioned. she has an exquisitely
moulded, well-rounded, dainty form,
black hair and eyes, and skin that
does not appear too dark for this part
Of the country. She is lazy and in
dolent by nature, but this fits her in
Cuba. II would not give her the charm
that surrounds her If she was quick,

The general impression in the neichbor-

was temporarily insane when he commit

What could have caused MIR. Carson to

that he had been ;:esoondent for a cousid-
cradle period on account of financial mat

him in Strengthening up some of his affairs
AT that time Mr.. Carson said he did not

ROOsevelt's Words to Young Men.

"If you could speak commandingly to
the young men of our city," asked him
one day, what would you say to them?"
I'D order them to work." said he; I'D
try to develop and work out an ideal of
mine-the theory of the duty of the
leisure class to the community. l have
tried to do it by example, and it is what
have preached; first and foremost to
be American, heart and soul, and to go
in with any person, needless of any
thing but that persons qualifications.
For myself, I'd work as quick beside
Pat Dugan as with the last descendant
of parcoon; it literally makes no diff
ference to me so long as the work is
good and the man is in earnest.
One other thing, I'd like to teach the
young man of wealth that he who has
not got wealth owes his first duty to his
family. but he who has means owes his
first duty to the State. 1t is ignoble to
try to heap money on money. l would
preach the doctrine Of work to all, and to
the man of wealth the doctrine of un-
remunerative work" -From Chdrac-
ter Sketch of Theodore Roosevelt, by
Julian Ralph.
