feeling Of the Spaniards. If genuine home
rule for Cuba is to come. 1t will mean the
end Of their power. and the government of
Cuba by Cubans instead Of by Spaniards.
More than one Spaniard told me in Ha-
vana that while willing to concede some
would never consent to turning 1t over to
the Cubans under a system Of home rule
which would amount to practical indie
pendence. What Canovas once called 1.-The
national actualities," stood in the way.
These national actualites'' are the ne
cessity for providing large numbers Of
Spanish officials with places OF power and
profit, and the necessity Of trade discrinl-
nations, which give Spain the advantage
in commerce and industry. 1t may be said
that this is a matter which Spain must Get
tie for herself. but 1t cannot be ignored in
any plan or diplomatic negotiations which
contemplate the United States giving its
moral support to the scheme Of home rule.
AS to prospective betterment in Cuba s
condition. through changes OF cabinets at
Madrid, the time mas passed when Havana
gives much attention to these changes. A
attention to the regularity with which min
istries had changed in Spain during the last

period CanovaS and SagaSta have been in
control. Spanish political history chron-
icles at regular intervals that the Canovas

that the Sagasta ministry falls and Can

twenty years, and all the while things I'm

CONVICT's GREAT sELF-DEyIaI.
saves His Tobacco So He Cnu Sell 7.
Tor the Benefit of His Family.
From the indianapolis News.


Deputy Collector of Jnterno, po,.oo
Ryan had a queer caller today. He was a
middle-aged man and carried a heavy
valise. He said the yalise contained 70,
oacco' which he was anxious to sell. so he
could give the money to his family He
was afraid he might be breaking the law
and asked Mr.. Ryan for advice. The latter
asked his caller where he got the tobacco
and the man said:
For several years have been a convict
In the penitentiary at Michigan City. 1 was
sent up from indianapolis, and nv wife
ana children still live here. My wife-poor
"oman-1s in poverty. and my children are
not big enough to do for themselves T have
neeh looking out for over year to this
trip nome L knew that my family had no
money and that they was sufferin' so I
just thought of plan to help them out
when L got home. You know that every
convict is allowed tobacco at regular times.
III do say 1t myself-and 1t has caused me
an awful lot of sufferin'-I have denied NV
self my tobacco and hid away the plugs as
they came in to me, so that / could sell
and little ones. The tobacco that / have
been saving so long is in that valise There
is not plug in there that isn't as good as
the day l got 1t. / have wrapped them
all up in tinfoil. so that they have kept
moist and preserved their flavor Now. l
want to be a law-abidin' man from this
day on. and want to know how 1 can sell
this tobacco without violatin' the law, just
for the benefit of my wife and children.
who-~need 1t so bad. the Lord knows, after
these years of neglect"
There were tears in the mans eyes when
he had concluded his story. and there was
suspicious moisture about the deputy's
eyes.
Before you can sell this tobacco" said
the deputy, you will have to give a bond
with acceptable surety for $1,000, and you
will have to put a six-cent government
stamp on each plug"
The mans head dropped and he looked
sick at heart. That would mean the fail
ure of his merciful enterprise
Ordinarily that would be the case" said
Mr. Ryan. but 1 tell you my man, 1 don't
think that the government would get after
you If you would dispose of this to your
friends"
great weight seemed lifted Off of the
mans mind as he dried his eyes, lifted his
valise and trudged off with 1t down the
stairs and into the street.

Brice at Work Again.

Tue 'HltasO 1lines-Herlid.
a few days ago, when E. c. Brice and
Austyn Granville of this city failed to con-
vince the Treasury Department officials at

but compound and that 1t can be manu-
featured, the. entire country enjoyed a
hearty laugh over the failure of what was

AN ISLAND IN THE JACKPOT.
1t II Now Part of Minneapolis and Is
Worth Many Fortunes.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
At one of the most interesting games of
poker ever played in 3Iinneap polls. Nicolet
Island was put in the jackpot by man
" no thought he understood the game. but
found there were others who understood it
better.
Fifty-fve years ago Pierre Bottineau took
up claim or the spot where st. Paul
now stands. a year later he traded it for
a horse and cow. which he drove away
into the wilderness, never dreaming that
the land he mad almost given away would
in a few years be the site of great city.
For small sum he purchased a large por-
ton of what is now the business part of
Minneapolis and put up log cabin on a
little mound in the center of Nicollet Is
lard.
Half dozen of the old settlers, Bot
tineau among them. had a little poker
club. One evening the stakes kept grow
ing larger and larger. until every jackpot
contained small fortune. Mr. Bottineau
had been losing heavily, but at last was
dealt hand upon which he hoped to re-
gain his losses and win something beside.
He was given four queens. and. drawing
one card. secured ace. leaving four
kings as the only hand by which his could
be beaten. He thought he saw of the
players discard king. and he considered
his hand invincible. and played 1T accord
fngfy. Soon all but Bottineau and the man
opposite him dropped their cards and re-
tired TO watch the game. The table was
heaped with money and the personal be-
iongings of the two men. The Pickering
hight of the candle shone dimly on the
flushed faces as they watched each other
warily out of the corners of their eyes
All of Bottneau's possessions lay on the
table, and it was his bet. He looked al
his hand carefully. and then said that all
he had left was Nicollet Island, which he
would bet against $40. The bet was call
ed, Snd Bottineau laid down his four
queens with a smile of triumph. Amid
dead silence his opponent laid on the table
lace up. four kings and a trey. 1t was so
still you could have heard them breathe
Then Bottineau called for writing materials
and made out a deed TO the island. From
that day he never touched a card or coun-
tenarced gambling in any form.
After drifting around the country he
went to Red Lake Falls and took up
claim and remained there until the time
OF his death He was employed as a guide
and scout. and was one of the principal
members of the Siblcy expedition He

ASKED THE WRONG FATHER.
That Ones Daughter Had Been Mar
ried for n Week and So Said No.


From the Chicago Times-HeIad.
He was a frequent visitor at the home
of the young lady. He favorably impressed
her sisters and mother by his digpified be-
havior and sensible conversation. He would
probably have had the same gratifying eff
feet upon her father, but as the latter was
completely immersed in his business he
was at home very little of the time, and
when he was he generally betook himself
to his study in quiet corner of the house.
The young man had a dim recollection of
being introduced to him once, and speaking
a word or so, but since that time had not
seen him at all. However, this didn't both
er him much, and his love affair came to u
focus rapidly.
When he asked the young lady to become
his wife she referred him to her father.
IN see him tomorrow, dear" he replied.
mo, 1 don't think you can" she an
swered, hes going out of town on long
business trip tomorrow evening, and so will
rot be here when you come"
BY Jove. then, responded the young
man, 'Tll drop in on him at the office"
The next day he turned up at the place
OF business of his IDOLS father. He knew
he was president of the concern. He made
his way into the presidents office and there
confronted a very busy gentleman indeed
Asking for moment of the latter's time
he said: Il have come to ask you for your
daughters hand"
Inc man addressed stopped, turned
around and looked at him moment and
then said: I'm sorry to tell YOU. young
man. but my daughter was married a week
ago"
without waiting for an explanation, the
hciror-stricken sutton rushed from the
building. He hailed a cab and drove madJv
10 the young lady's home.
What-what does it all mean?'' he gasp
cd. as soon as he saw her. Speak. What
ooeS 1t mean! 1 have just seen your father
