Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshheld, Mo,
writes: "For six years l have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, H., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
noval of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before l had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your SIS. long ago,
l would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out per1na-
nently.

If You're Good.

Santa Claus'll come tonight,
If you're good,
And do what you know is right,
AS you should;
Down the chimney he will creep,
Bringing you woolly sheep,
And doll that goes to Sleep
If you're good.
Santa Claus will drive his sleigh
Thro' the wood,
But he'll come around this way
If you're good,
With wlnd-up bird that sings,
And puzzle made of rings
Jumping jacks and funny thinga-
If you're good.
He will bring you cars that "go,"
If you re good,
And rocking horsey-oh!
If he would!
And dolly if you please,
That Says "Mama!" when you squeeze
lt-he'll bring you one of these,
LII you're good
Santa grieves when you are bad,
AS he should;
But 1t makes him very glad
When you're good.
II e is wise, and he's a dear:
just do right and never fear;
He'll remember you each year,
If you're good

In the First Christmastide,

With timbrel and with tabor, with VOL and
with lutte,
Bend out of heaven dear Spirits, across
your frosty height,
For the crown of every labor, and of every
flower the fruit
The happy earth inherits, Love being born
tonight
Over the vast abysses of nothingness and
gloom,
Where the old gods 60 Keeling at the cry
of the new name,
Lean your untold b.lsses, and make the
midnight bloom
With your throbbing gladness stealing in
thousand points of flame.
0 Angel of all Innocents, your viol make
more sweet,
0 Angel of all Lovers, touch tenderly your
O Angel of all Heroes, your rapturous tabor
beat,
o Angel of all Triumph, sound your tim
brel's swift pursuit.
For you hear the Voice above you, like the
breath of some strong flute;
Tonight, tonight, Great Love is born and
joy is absolutei"
Forget, 0 Voice untring, Getnsemane's
dark cup,
Foretell not the Misunderstanding despair of
Calvary's height,
For with boundless sweep and gvripg all
the universe moves up,
The depth the dark forsaking with this
primal Christmas night!
While sinking at the warning Of the clear
and mighty cry,
Shall the evil that is hoary, with the DOOM
ing that was meet,
In the void of night and morning like mist
dissolve and die
And death grow into glory now Love
makes Life complete,

And holly's coral berry.

When north winds cen are merry?
Hang mistletoe above the door,
And bid Don Cupid rouse!

The brief days full of laughter,
For little ones-the cunning elves i
They know what follows after.
They wake and watch for Santa Claus

Dear rogues with heart-beats all in tune
To Christmas in the house.

And ice locks lake and stream:

Within the hearth tre's CLEAN.
With open hand and open heart,
We pledge our friendly vows,

OF Christmas in the house!

The Cuban Rebellion.

The mode of warfare adopted by the
rebels is doubtless OF an Anticipated and
crude type, but ii does not merit the
nasty condemnation so constantly bestow-
ed upon it. The Cubans cannot obtain
the means to fight the Spaniards accord ?
ing to the rules of modern warfare; they
have either the men nor the war mate
rial for doing SO, and guerilla tactics are
obviously their only chance of success
The destruction of property may appear
to be wantonly cruel at first sight, but it
is part Of the insurgent plan Of campaign,
and the weakness of the Spaniards is
demonstrated by the fact that they are
not able to prevent this destruction.
W hat, however, is patent to all who take
the trouble to watch Cuban affairs is that
the rebel tactics have, on the whole, been
completely successful during the last
twenty-one months, and in this fact lies
the chief excuse for their continuance in
the future.
OF course the Spaniards very truly say
that they are terribly handicapped by the
number of men on the sick list This is
so; but such a contingency should have
been duly allowed for in considering the
preparations for the military operations.
There are now in Havana not less than
-oT'Vp uliiitd y CulSlly lIOlu ludI
del Rio and the province of Havana Some
a., 900 to 5000 of these men are under
treatment in hospital, the remainder in
convalescent stage. The principal causes
OF suffering are yellow fever, paludic
feyers, malaria, dysentery, and small
pox. The number of wounded in pro-
portion to those invalided for other causes
is relatively small. Throughout the whole
army the number of men unfit for duty
exceeds 40, 900. The hospital accommo-
dation and service are totally inadequate
to meet the demands made upon them at
the present time.
And if Spain does succeed in reconquer-
ing the island, what does this reconquest
entail? A war of from two to three years;
a money expenditure of not less than
$500, COO, 600; the sacrifice of the lives of
$4,000 Spanish soldiers. That is what the
ieconqnest implies to Spain. To Cuba it
means the slaughter of the greater part of
the Cuban male population; the ruin of
every industry in the country with small
nope OF any speedy revival; the necessi-
ty OF remaining for generations at least
under the baneful influence of the policy
of ii reaHdad ndcionol. No reasonable
person can doubt that Spain will allow no
change in her political and economical
policy towards Cuba if she is successful
in finally quelling the rebellion. Even
now murmurs are heard in the peninsula
OF the compensation to be eXacted for the
sacrifices now being made to crush the
rebels = in other words, Cuba for the
Spanards, not for the Cubans Har-
pei S Weekly.
