The good ana law-abiding citizens of
Cambridge. as we'll as all others. if
any are considerably stirred up of late
over the appearance in their town of .
strange animal, which. according 20
the general belief based on a tlescrin
ton furnished by a man whose ewes
rested upon the animals form for n
few moments, is that it is nothing less
than full grown Indian devil or
panther that has come down from the
big forests at the north, to set a more
intimate acquaintance with civiliza-
ton Thus far the creature has re-
manned in the lowlands about Maine
stream and the brooks that empty int,
it, At night he has given himself over
to the bad habit of emitting yeiIs that
cause shivcrS to chase up and down
the spinal columns of those within
hearing.

TIE WEALTH OF Cuba

If Uncle Sam should, in the interest
of humanity. add Cuba to his domain.
it would almost double his wealth.
With Cuba under a stable government
and fully cultivated. Uncle Sam would
soon control the worlds markets for
four great staples-tobacco. sugar,
coffee and rice. 1t seems a shame to
abandon this rich island to an alien
race. 1t is a greater shame for a man
to abandon his stomach to the ravages
Of disease. To strengthen the stom-
ach take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t is just the thing to stimulate the ap-
petite. 1t will overcome dyspepsia. If
there is constipation it will establish
regularity of the bowels. 1t makes the
nerves strong and steady. and gives
restful slumber. There is no substitute
for it.

UNIVERSITY BEATEN AGAIN.
Golden's Heavyweights Prove Tot
Much for the Laramie Boys.

The football game at Golden last
Saturday resulted in overwhelming de-
feat for the university eleven. The fol-
lowing account of the game is sent out
from Golden:
The Wyoming university team and
the State School Of Mines team played
the second game on the Mines grounds
today. The game was played in the
face Of a hard wind and was one-sided
from the start to finish, for the visitors
were no match for the Mines, and did
not even score. The visitors played a
snappy game from start to finish, but
could not withstand the Mines terrific
bucking, and steadily lost ground. Be-
sides the visitors seemingly could not
work together.
In the first half the Golden team car
ried the ball into Laramie's territory
and continued to push it to the goal by
gains Of from S to 10 yards at each
down. by bucking the Laramie's center,
and in nine minutes the Golden team
made the first touchdown. Ball missed
goal. Score. S to O..
Laramie kicked off and Golden made
another touchdown. Ball missed goal.
Score, 10 to 0. In the first down Hodson
made an end run for 10 yards, and Price
for 20 yards. and the third touchdown
was made by Golden in just 10 minutes
actual playing. Ball again missed
goal. Score, Is to 0.
Laramie kicked ball out of bounds,
but Becker made a 45-yard III round
left and Price made 5 yards and ball
was Don in Laramle's territory and
Golden soon scored again. HodsoD
kicked goal. Score, 81 to O..
Laramie made a poor kick and Golden
gained Is yards, but kicked and lost the
ball to Laramie. who could make no
gains and lost the ball on downs. Rus
sell. with the aid of SCOTS splendid in
reference. made a long run and touch
down and Hodson kicked goal.
Golden lost ground for a short time
only and it seemed that the visitors
would score. but Golden rallied and all
lost ground was ~regained, and Becker
had made another touchdown. Hodson
kicked goal. Score. 33 to 0.
Time, 25 minutes, and in 2h min
utes more Becker made another touch
down and Hodson successfully kicked
goal, bringing the score up to 80 to 0 in
favor of the home team and practically
closed the first half.
The second half was a repetition OF
the first. only the Golden team played
even slower, which enabled Laramie to
better hold them in check, but the score
went up to so to 0 in favor of Golden.
The teams lined up as follows:

OF alcoholic stimulants. If we study
the tables showing the consumption
of non-alcohOlic stimulants, We find
the same conditions governing their
use. Measured by the number of gal
Ions of the beverages consumed, coffee
ranks next to beer as popular bever-
age. Assuming that one pound of
coffee makes two pounds of infusion,
we have a years consumption of 662,-
OSS,692 gallons at Il cost of $I20, ,26l,-
OS6. The per capita consumption of
tea does not increase; i'll fact, is less
than it was twenty-five years ago,
when it averaged one and one-half
pounds, against one and three-tenths
pounds in 1896. The import cost of
the tea received in 1896 was $15,5S5,-
TAI. The retail cost was at least
double this, or $31 i'll ,4S2. 1t is safe
to say that one pound of tea as Or
dinarily brewed will make five gallons
of beverage, on which basis there was
in 1896 total consumption of $780,
7O1 ,24O gallons, costing 6 3-5 cents
per gallon, thus making tea the cheap
est of all beverages in general use.
The 1896 imports of crude cocoa,
leaves and shells amounted to 1926.
597 pounds, valued at $2,3S7,O7S. A
large part of this is used for confec-
tionery and other purposes than as a
beverage, but it is safe to estimate
that the retail cost of the chocolate
and cocoa used as beverage does not
exceed $3,OOO,OOO.
Bringing the above items into one
group, we find that the United States
consumed in 1896 alcoholic and nom
alcoholic stimulants to the value of
81 ,0l6, ,l26, 400, as follows: Alcoholic
drinks, 1861 ,693,S32; non-alcoholic
stimulants-coffee. $l2O, ,261 ,OS6; tea,
$3l. III ,4S2; cocoa, $3,00O,OOO; total,
l,O16. .l26,4OO. The above represents
a yearly per capita expenditure for
beverages of *l4.3l for the 100000
inhabitants of the United States, or 4
cents per day. Evidently hard times
have cut down the appetite for bever
ages of all kinds, and render distilleries
industries. Breweries and
coffee mills are far better property.
