psPANIARDS ARE sAvAGEs. "
Unable to Adopt Civilized Methods, Writes
Young Cuban from Havana.


The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. George H. Paine, of
New York from friend in Havana. a
member of well-to-do Cuban family,
and was educated in this country. He
has only returned to Cuba, having
previously taken out naturalization
papers. The letter bears the date of
March 4, and says;
''The war is grand just now, and is
getting hot, even in Havana. The
Spaniards, while unable to check the
people in arms against them, want to
take revenge on those who are yet un-
armed, and the number of murders
and outrages committed is something
tremendous. So we must take our
women and children away, for they are
not safe here. We have great hope of
ending the struggle favorably with the
help which will be given if the United
States would recognize the belliger-
ency of the insurgents. You should
hear the things the Spaniards say of
the United States. They are disgust
ing to listen to.
Gas for the Spaniards, they are a set
of savages, unable to make war against
a civilized nation in a civilized way.
Don't believe word you hear about
outrages being committed by insur-
gents. They are brave and as humane
as it is possible to be. But they are
not such fools as to ingage in great
battles with troops four times their
own numbers. So they wait for a
good chance and when they get it they
take it.

The Conversation Interrupted.

Il beg your pardon, said the man
with the slightly bald head, who sat in
a parquet seat near one Of the boxes in
a down town theater the other evening.
Il beg your pardon, y he repeated, ''but
would you mind looking at the figures
ON this check and telling me what they
are? I'm little nearsighted. ="
The youngest member of the noisy
box party, an amiable looking youth,
with highly plastered hair, suspended
his conversation with the interesting
blond in the green dress a moment,
leaned over tho front Of the box. and in
answer to the questioner, who had risen
to his feet and was smilingly holding
out for his inspection the check end of
a ticket, he said:
Certainly, sir. The figures are
$3.50"
Well, reJoined the questioner,
that's exactly what / paid to hear this
play tonight. and In going to get the
worth Of my money Or III lift my voice
right now and raise fuss aud make s
scenel You'll oblige me by telling the
rest Of them. 4"
He was not disturbed again during
the evening. Chicago Tribune.

large our navy and army to immense

We imagine that melting moods are
often a consequence of burning kisses.
Experience proves that it is easier to
get a wife by advertising than it it to
get a situation.

Visitor: 'Do you think the baby re-

Tommy, who was Joan of Arc?"

"What makes you women kiss when
you meet?" cit is a sort of apology
in advance for what we mean to say
about each other after we part"
Notoriety is no proof of merit. 4
thousand dollars worth of roses will
only perfume a few yards, while dol
lars worth of cooked onions will scent
up a whole town.
Robinson: "How about that note 1

She: 81 met you on the street, yes

handsomer every day that L cannot

1t is generally easier for wife to go

Theatrical manager, to applicant for

Actor, suspiciOusly: "Um-er-hOw

'Dear father, we are all well and

Farmers wife: "What does the
weather indications in the paper say?"
Daughter: "Clear and warm. " "'What

She: ''And are you sure, Algernon,
that you never loved any girl but me?'
He, unblushingly: 81 never even

radiator clanked.
A correspondent asks: "How did
the first kiss come abOut?" Precisely
like the last one. And after it was

Italy's new ministry is determined
