ANoTHER SPANISH LIE.
Story That the Cubans Have No Gov
eminent Is False.

Paris. Dec 22.-The Glblas news
paper) publishes a report Of an inter-
view with Senior Betancer, the repre-
sentative of the Cuban insurgents in
Paris, in which he declares that the as
sertions that the revolutionists in Cuba
have no government are false. The
Cubans. he says, have a government in
the form of a iunta whose members
are acting together under the assent
OF the active participants in the rebel
lion and a majority of the inhabitants
of the island. The sympathy of the
American people with the Cubans,
Senior Betancer says. is entirely un-
selfish and springs from feeling of
compassion for the victims of Spanish
tyranny.

BRIDE MUST HAVE A FALL.

She was tall and fair and twenty,
Her papa had rocks in plenty
And she dreamed this little universe
Was hers by right of BIRTH
She was saucy to her mother,
Domineered her elder brother,
And her bearing indicated
That she thought she owned the earth.
But she found herself mistaken.
And her faith was rudelys shaken
When she tried 10 ride her wheel across
A little streak of mud
And the way that wheel impacted her.
And the ground rose up and smacked ner,
