It Is said that all rhe poetry and
glory has departed from the Cuban
army for the young Americans who
Joined 1t while back with such ele-
waited and ambitious notions. For some

been importuling the Cuban Junta IN

relatives and otherwise 90 prevail on

sick. they are resoutkng to every posi-
bic maneuver 10 obtain, under the plea
Of their American citizenship. a share
Of the relief recently voted for their
countrymen in Cuba. The possibility
OF the escape from the island OF many
Of these compatriots is the only OBJ
jectionable feature which Spain sees in
the Cuban relief appropriation Of our
oongress-and not unnaturally. The
pomp and circumstance Of war are apt
TO appeal to young Americans. who
have never experienced any Of its hor-
rors and vicissitudes. II only takes a
little experience 10 convince them that
there is no glory comparable to the re-
splendent glory of peace. and that war
at the best is only excusable in de-
Tense Of human liberty and home.

pain that she was nearly crazy She
sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor, but
he had read Of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and instead Of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
a bottle Of it. His wife did not approve
Of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and In an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies 1t when
ever she feels an ache or a pain and
finds that It always gives relief. He
