One of the evenings Is devoted to

1t has become a favorite social purus't
among the cultured young people of the
town, to give an evening to the b. l. A.
A group of them viii arrange a pro-
gramme, and occupy the platform for
the occasion, with music, recitation,
dialogues, etc, to the great enjoyment
of the youthful audience.
TO all who understand boys, and
know the necessity that seems laid
upon them to go somewhere, the value
OF this scheme will be apparent. To
substitute for aimlcss wandering in the
streets at night, something that would
build up the working boys morally and
socially was the high ambition of one
who had long studied the needs and
limitations of their lives. In this, up

impressed by the wisdom OF an effort
tending so directly to make good citi-

meeting place, much to their gratitude
and satisfaction. II is being discovered
that the upbuilding of the working ele-
ment of a community is more reward

promise.

the first anniversary of its home in the
city hall. Subjoined is its appreciatiVe
song for the occasion:
We are coming city fathers,
A good six hundred strong,
To help you with the voting.
And the time will not be long
For the years are marching on.
Hurrah! Hurrah! six hundred votes
to cast against the rum.
Six hundred votes for righteous rule
for joy, and peace. and home.
AS we go marching on!
We are coming city fathers,
And when you are old and gray
Wen stand beside you In the ranks
and cheer YOU ON the way,
While all 60 marching on!

TIE CUBAN RESURRECTION.

About fourteen months ago the resi-
dents of Cuba began rebellion against
the rule OF Spain and have been en-
gagged In fighting for their rights ever
since. They want to throw off the yoke
OF oppression which Spain has placed
upon their shoulders.
a man in Cuba cannot even have a
new window put into his house with
out first paying some sort of a tax.
He dare not invite party of friends
to his home without getting permits

AS far as the daily reports go the
Spaniards seem to gain some import
ant battles. but the outlook Is that the
war will end In victory for the Gu
bans.
The Cuban soldiers have found a new
weapon Of defence which IL called a.
'machette." 1t Is made somewhat like
a sword and Is used for all purposes,
from peeling u stick of sugar cane to

OF the two. Maceo Is the better.
The authorities Of Spain tried to get
the United States Congress to urge the
Cubans TO put an end TO the war, but
Congress declared that il. would not
have anything to do for or against
Cuba. 1t is, however. evident that the
Cubans had the sympathy of the peo-
pie of this country before tie Spaniards
committed such an outrage toward our
flag.
When the people OF Spain heard the
decision of Congress they rus ned 10 the
residence of Mr.. De LONE United
States minister to Spain, tore down the
American flag. and trampled it through
the streets until it was torn into
shreds.
Our country ought to demand re-
dress for such an insult TO our flag;
still We hope and believe that at some
future day Cuba will be a free and In
