The Little Guinea Pig.

There was once a little guinea pig who
like all his little brothers. came INTO the
world without tail, says writer in
was different from other animals, he
would live to see something remarkable
But now he lay day by day in an old
wooden box, and the sun only shone upon
him when his little master, Karl, visited
MIN and raised the lid of the box.
Now this gloomy life did not please the
little guinea pig, so one day when Kari
left him to seek food for his pet, the
guinea pig hastily climbed over the edge
OF the box and ran into the wide, wide
First he came to Diana and her little
puppies. He ran quite near to them to
wish them gCOd-daV and play with them
but the puppies did not look kindly upon
the newcomer, and shifted at him curious

When they saw the guinea pig had no
tail they shook their dumb little heads
and said: 1--WE do not want YOU
The little guinea pig ran quickly out Of
the yard into the fields Oh, there were
some little rabbits. playing so happily in
the green grass, rising up on their hind
legs and amusing themselves with the

rabbits, with the long black ears, shook
his head and said: You cannot stay
here; come back when you ears have

ran away and left the poor little guinea
pig alone. Now, by this time, he had be-
come very hungry, and ran quickly back
to the village and into a big yard. A
stupid fellow was sitting there, summing
himself. He looked very friendly though
and the guinea pig took courage and
asked whether he could tell him where
he could get something to eat
"Humph! answered the boy. your lit

When the democrats of Ohio not long
ago desired ex-Gov. Campbell to become
their candidate for the governorship he
demurred, because he said he was too
poor a man to stand the expense of a
campaign. He is not so poor now as he
was then. BY a lucky investment in a
California gold mine he is now enjoying
a comfortable income. and there is a
strong probability that the mine will make
him rich. The country at large will con-
graduate him upon his good luck.

The Future of Cuba.

Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, who was Post
master General during Mr.. Clevelands
first administration. expresses the opinion
that Lord Salisbury's arguments against
the Monroe doctrine, in his note to Sec.
rotary Olney, were not intended so much
to aid in the settlement of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute as to open the way for
Great Britain to acquire possession of
Cuba. He says England owns the greater
part of the enormous Spanish debt and
that it has been her purpose for a long
time to get control of that island.
Mr.. Dickinson may be right about this
matter. Assuming that he is what course
would this country pursue if Spain, find
ing it impossible to conquer the insur-
gents, should transfer Cuba to Great Brit
tain for a consideration? 1t is certain that
such a transfer would not be acceptable
to this country.
If. however. we interpret the Monroe
doctrine to mean that a European power
may acquire territory on this side of the
Atlantic by peaceful means we should
not have any good ground for complaint
if Spain should transfer Cuba to England
for reasons satisfactory to herself. But
there is no doubt that this country would
protest vigorously against such a trans
fer. Great Britain has as much territory
in this part of the world now as this
country thinks she ought to have. and,
besides, there is a pretty strong feeling
among the people of the United States
that Cuba ought to be part of the United
States.
1t is not known, of course, that Great
Britain is planning to bring Cuba under
her jurisdiction. Mr.. Dickinson is not
the only one however, who thinks she is.
and if she is and should attempt to carry
her plans into effect, it is quite certain
that our government wouli think it had
greater cause for war with her than it
has in the matter of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute With British guns at
the north of us and also at the south of
us we should feel that Great Britain was
getting to be an uncomfortably close

A THOUSAND STRONG In The THOUSAND ISLANDS,

this must do duty each night when musical
performances are called for.
The work of the association is not an
idle one. Its mission is to revive canoeing
as a fine Aquatic sport and to perfect the
canoe as the yacht has been perfected. II
has canoe races of three sorts. There are
sailing races, when the canoeist puts away
his paddles, and sitting upon a hiking seat
at the side of his small canoe directs the
sails and goes over a course of three or
four miles for a trophy of some sort.
Then there are the half sailing and half
padding races. Here the canoeist paddles
one mile and sails the next. 1t calls for
quick work. for he must overhaul the sails,
get out his paddle and work vigorously
with him arms for half a mile, then lay
aside the paddle. furl the sails and do an
other half miles work. Thethird contest
is in padding over the whole course. OF
the canoes the most expensive are the sail
ing ones A good Spanish cedar canoe with
sails and hiking seat costs nearly two hum
bred dollars But an ordinary paddler can
be bought for quarter the sum. Many
very enthusiastic paddlers of means will
not buy the expensive sail canoes, holding
It better sport to cover the ground with
paddles only.

There is a revarnishing of canoes and
a rescraping Of paddles, for the annual
meet OF the American Canoe Associa-
ton is soon to take place. The associa-
tion will be sweet sixteen and the mem
berShip will be a thousand strong, with
half thousand associate members.
The Old Indian practice OF canoeing
was slowly but surely dying out when
the bOatmen Of the United States and
Canada decided to check the death by
vigorous and practical protest. They
banded together in 1880 uDon Lake
George, and though only twenty or so
canoes were present ii was a meet"
and the American Canoe Association of
che United States and Canada was
formed
During its sixteen years Of existence
the club has aimed 10 hold its meets at
widely separated places, to give all its
memberShipclubSa chance to be equally
represented. One year upon a central
river, another year upon the coast, and
still another upon the great lakes.
ON THE ST. LAWRENCE.
This year the meet will be upon the
st. Lawrence River. The camp will be
pitched upon Grindstone one OF the
Thousand Islands, and for two weeks
white tents viii vie with white sails.
and the sound OF the paddle will be
heard over all.
When canoeing at canoe meet a
man is supposed TO live in tent. Even

geous hotels dotted the shores.
