possible for the Spaniards to find a shelter
for their troops in the interior during the
rainy season, Gen. Garcia took 500 men

ing the hardest marches possible. Gen.
Garcia has gone to the eastern end of
the island because that is his old home
and the people living there are his loyal
friends. Jose Gomez. Gen. Gomez $

able aid to the Cuban cause, was born

L really, really must not degrade my
sacred office. Sally. indeed, L must ~ot!''
'Oh, paSsn dO'y, noWn' and the good
creature began to sob.
The parson was a tender-hearted man,
and tears were too much. He agreed to
go to the cottage, see the pig, and do
what he could.
Accordingly he visited the patient,
which lay grooming in the stye.
The woman gazed wistfully at the
pastor, and waited for the prayer. Then
the clergyman raised his right hand,
pointed with one finger at the SOW and
said solemnly: IF thou Invest, Q pig!
then thou Invest. If thou diest, O pig!
then thou diest"
Singularly enough, the SOW was better
that same evening, and ate little wash.
She was well, and had recovered her ap-
petite wholly next day.
Now, it happened, some months after
this, that the rector fell very i'll, with a
quinsy that nearly choked him. He
could hardly breathe. His life was in
imminent danger.
Sally was a visitor every day at the
rectory, and was urgent to see the sick
man. She was refused admission, but
pressed so vehemently that finally she
was suffered to seen him. but she
was warned not to speak to him or eX-
pect him to speak, as he was unable to
utter word.
She was conducted to the sick room,
and the door thrown open. There she
beheld her pastor lying in bed, groaning,
almost in eXtremities.
Raising her hand, she pointed at him
with one finger and said: IF thou Invest,
O pass'n! then thou Invest! If thou diest,
o pass'n! then thou diest''
The effect on the sick man was-an
explosion of laughter that burst the quin,
sy, and his recovery.-S. Barring Gould in

FIRE FANCIES.

When The flames are running riot,
Pictures come before our eyes:
Never steady, never quiet,
Magic palaces arise;
Now a goblin, now fairy,
Here an elf and there a gnOme;
Then a dream-boat, white and airy,
Drifting on a sea OF foam.
All the tales that one remembers
Dragons, witches. captive DANES
Clean together in the embcrs
And the flashing of the flames.
Bits of sunny summer playtime,
White entertainments of the snow,
Memories of night and daytime,
Lightly come and swiftly go.
Last train of cars. full freighted
With departing fairy souls,
Cracks and roarS as if belated,
Rushing DER a bridge of Goals.
Then the gold light turns TO umber,
And with soft and stealthy tread
Comes the Sandman. bringing slumber
Now it's time to go to bed!
