JrHrA WANTS ONLY INDEPEND ENCE
Cubans DON'T Want Intervention

Cnbons DON'T Want Intervention
with Object of Annexat lon.
New York, April '6.-The Cuban junta,
through its counsel, Horatio S.. Rubens,
made an important statement to-day
II declared in the most uneqllIvocal Ian
pDaee that the Cuban provisional govern
nent and the Cuban army would reject
absolutely Intervention by the United
States unless it should be preceded by a
recognition of the independence of the
Cuban republic; that if the United States
nerssted in intervening without recognize
ing Cuban independence, the Cuban gov
eminent and military forces would refuse
n cooperate; and that if the United
states troops be sent to Cuba upon the
basis of intervention without recognition,
the cuban army would, In the last resort,
turn its arms against the United States.
This evening Mr.. Horatio S. Rubens,
counsel to the Cuban junta, supplemented
his utterances of this afternoon with this
written statement over his signature:
The statement appearing over my name
IN the evening papers was based on the in
dications appearing that the object of the
United States in refusing to recognize the
Independence of Cuba, was to annex the ISL
and to the United States. 1t was in view
of this fact that expressed the determi-
nation of the Cuban army to resist We
would, of course, welcome the American
army TO aid us in achieving our independ-
ence"
Washington, April 6.-When the dis
patch containing Mr.. Rubens' statement
was shown to Thomas Estrada Palma, the
tot in, tI1a Of
Cuban republic, who arrived in Washing
ton this morning, he said: II cannot say
anything about this dispatch until I COM
municate with MIR. Rubens."
1t was made evident from his manner
that he did not for a moment consider
the possibility of such an unwise state
ment being made by the associated coun-
sell
Minister Palma dad not hesitate to reit-
crate with great emphasis his recent dec
laration that Intervention for the purpose
Of establishing autonomy in the island
would not be accepted, and that Cuba
would become independent.

set with rigid expression of fear, the
dull eyes gazing upon me with their
expressionless, stony gaze. My heart
gave one great throb, and stood still |;
in an instant l had applied my fingers
to the wrist. The pulse was still--the
blood stagnant-a stroke of the lancet
failed TO draw it forth The horrible
truth was apparent. She was dead.
Fear alone had killed her.
Here my strength failed me; / reeled
and fell to the floor, but in stupor of
insensibilty.
1t was night when l awoke, and
slowly the horrors of my position came
back to me. But was calm, at least;
and there, in the darkness of mid
night, and in the company of the dead,
lpondered upon my future movements.
My determination was quickly taken.
First placing the ring which she had
given me upon her finger-the ring
that she once promised me to wear as
long as she loved me-and kissing her
dead lips once q dared to do that, L
raised the body in my arms, and bore
it out into the night. Fortune favored
me; the streets were deserted; no one
crossed my way during my fearful
journey. Reaching O woody spot Just
beyond the city, followed out grave,
and there buried her.

you will, why am drawn hither daily;

cinaton for me in the dust and cob

LAUGHS AT DEATH.
A VIGOROUS CONSTITUTION DEMANDS
KIDNEYS IN GOOD CONDITION.
John Morrow, the Chemist. Offers, After
10 Years of Research and study,
the Only Scientifically Pre-
pared Kidney Tonic.

Kidneys are nothing more nor less than filters
for the human body. If they are healthy,
man has pure blood and feels good; if they are
puny and sick, he must suffer the indescribable
terrors of sickness from its mildest form up to
its most excruciating horrors.
New body is continually taking the place of
old and, if the old body of corruption and poi
son is not removed Immediately, one cannot
have pure blood and a healthy existence-no
vigorous constitution can continue without a
sound body, and no sound body can remain SO
without sound, healthy kidneys.
When the system is run down, tonic must
be taken, if one would get well. There is no
better or surer point to begin than at the kid
neys, and there is no sure health for the kid
neys except through that well-tested, healing
tonic, Morrow's Kidneoids.
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared scientific
ally from remedial agents, tested for their
especial curative and tonic action upon the
kidneys, and in such proportions and arrange
ments as will combine full strength with con-
venient size. They are made in tablet form,
yellow in color, and are agreeable evep-to the
most delicate stomach.
Take care of the kidneys and nine-tenths of
all sickness will be avoided Don't let sick
ness creep in. There is no knowing what
serious results may occur from neglect. The
human body cannot stand every thing-it's a
delicate affair and must have needful attention
and considerable action.
Among pure effective remedies none hold SO
prominent place as Morrow's Kidneoids. The
first case of kidney troubles they have not
cured is unknown. They are recognized as the
only infallible kidney remedy, known to the
science of medicine.
Morrow's Kidneoids are now ON sale gener-
ally. If not to be had of your dealer, they
will be sent post paid upon receipt of 80 cents
per box or six boxes for $3.50 by the Herb
Medicine Co., Springfield, Ohio.

Good. Children Street.

There's dear little home in Good Children street
My heart turneth fondly to-day
Where the tlnkle of tongues and patter Of feet
Make sweetest Of music at play;
Whore the sunshine oflove illumines each face
And warns every heart In that old-fashoned place.
For dear little children go rompng about
with dollles and tin tops and drums,
And myi how they frolic aud scamper and shout
Till bedtime too speedily comesl
Oh the days they golden and days they are feet
With little fox living In Good Children street.
See, here comes an army with guns painted red,
And swords, caps and plumes of all sorts;
The captain rides gaily and proudly ahead
On stick horse that Frances and snorts
oh, legions of soldiers you're certain to meet
Nice make believe soldiers-in Good Children street.
And yonder odette wheels her dolly about
Poor dolly am sure she is i'll,
For one of her blue china eyes has dropped out,
And her voice is asthmaticIy shrill.
Then, too. observe she is minus her feet,
Which much in Good Children street
IT'S so the dear children go romping about
with dolIies and banners and drums,
And venture to say they are sadly put out
When end to their jubilee comes;
o, days they are golden and days tn ey are fleet
with little folk living in Good Children street,
And when falleth night over river and town,
Those little folk vanish from sight,
And an angel all white from the sky cometh down
And guardeth the babes through the night,
And singeth her uabies tender and sweet
To the dear little people In Good Children street.
Though elsewhere the world be o'erburdened with
care,
Though poverty fall to my lot,
Though toll and vexaton be always my share,
What care I-they trouble me notl
This thought msketh life ever joyous and sweet;
There's dear little home in Good Children street.

A Mothers RecOmpense.

Oh, to have my little children back again,
Would suffer all the pain Of all the years?
Bear the bitter toll and shed the many tears,
For the smiles they brought like sunshine after
rain?
Would carry little burdens up to bed,
After all the weary day to climb the stairs,
Bending over, hear the griefs and hating prayers,
just to see each darling's sweetly resting head2
Would see my daily table, richly stored
With the fruits of toll and offrecurring cost,
All to vanish like the flowers before the frost,
For the sight of their dear faces round the board2
Would bear perplexlng doubts and ANXIOUS fears
Lest might not guide their hayward steps Alright
(These the hardest hours to win of all the fght
For the sweetness of my hopes for future years7
Could even. in a dreary, darkened place,
Hold two little empty shoes upon my knee,
For a little child in heaven awaiting me,
And the memory of darling death kissed faceP
What is home without the children there to bless2
All are scattered, some continent apart,
Vacant beds and lonely tablet o my heart,
Would'st thou bear again? A thousand answers,

SELECTED STORY.
His Dread Secret,

am old now--so old and feeble that
fer several years have been unable to
continue the practice of my profession.
Yet, as a matter of habit, as a kind of
second nature, day rarely passes
without finding me at my office-as l
still call the little dusty den away out of
hearing Of the noise and crash of the
street.
Yesterday, as l was sitting there
alone, friend came in and gave me a
long, garrulous account Of a skeleton
that had been but an hour before dis
inferred in the heart of the city by
some workmen digging for the founda-
ton OF building. 1t was the skeleton
Of woman, he said. looked at him
sharply, and satisfied myself that he
told this merely as a piece of intelli-
gence. Heaven helped me to keep
composed, l think. This was my dread
secret.
Somewhat more than fifty years ago,
and in this very room where l write,
concluded the long, weary probation OF
my student life, and entered singly up
on the practice of my profession. My
success was immediate and gratifying.
To be brief, / was successful almost
beyond precedent; business and money
came at my command, and the city re-
sounded with praises of my skill, and
the wonderful cures l had performed.
1 was called from my bed at midnight
upon one occasion, and directed in the
most urgent manner to repair at once
to the residence of Judge G. The
house indicated was the house of one
of the wealthiest and proudest families
of B., and l obeyed the summons as
soon as possible. 1t was with difficulty
that / ascertained, amid the sobs and
tears that greeted my arrival, that
Helena c., the only and idolized daugh-
ter of the family, and the ackno WI
edged belle and beauty of the city
had been suddenly attacked with vio-
lent malady. 1t needed but one glance
at the sufferer to assure me of this.
Scan you save herP" was the fathers
agonized question.
"The chances are ninety-nine in q
hundred against her living an hour"
was the reply. Nevertheless, I will
leave nothing undone."
My end was accomplished. Fol-
thirty-six consecutive hours l sat by
her bedside, warily combating the vital
disease which had assailed her, and at
last pronounced her out of danger,
felt that 1 had almost wrought out a
miracle. This was another triumph
added to my list, and the report of my
fame was in every mouth.
But this was not the only consequence
of the occurrence. The discovery that
my lovely and amiable patient regarded
me with warmth of emotion ant
gratitude which only her own warn
heart could conceive, filed me witt
feelings of the liveliest pleasure.
For several weeks after Helena's per
feet restoration to health / was fire.

Neither of us had ever spoken of love

myself, was secretly hoping for future

hopes, l ventured one day to asl
