A Spaniard was born in Spain. His
son, who was born in Cuba, is not o
Spaniard, but Cuban. If n Cuban
should go TO Madrid when he is 2 weeks
old and spend all his life in the palace,
no would still be Cuban and not
quite as good as Spaniard. If Span
lard should go to Havana when he is {
weeks old aud spend all his life in that
city or upon a plantation, he would
still be q Spaniard and enjoy the dis
tinction and social position which Gu
ban can never attain. The sons and
daughters of Spaniard are Cubans il
they are born in Cuba, but the sons and
grandsons and grat -grandsons of Gu
ban must always be Cubans, no matter
If they were born in Madrid and spend
their whole lives in that city. No Gu.
ban can ever become Spaniard, nc
matter what happens 10 him. and from
the Spanish point Of view he Is degen'
erate. --Chautauquar.

THE SOLDIERS RATlONS.
In Wartime Gomez Becomes . Real Elixi
OF Lifo.

OF Lifo.
No man can feel like real soldier SO
long as he is fed like civilian. When
he takes the field, the recruit will be
Obliged to give up roast lamb and green
peas, broiled live lobster, pate de foie
gras, pastry, butter and numerous other
comestibles which had seemed TO him
necessities. In place he must settle
down to diet of "salt horse, pork,
bacon and occasional fresh beef, beans,
rice, hominy, infrequent potatoes and
bread, with tea or coffee to wash it
down. When it comes to active service
at the front, his menu will probably
dwindle down to salt pork, hard tack
and coffee. The pork will be cooked or
raw, according to circumstances and
the coffee ditto
But the half of a tin canteen makes
not bad frying pan in which the pork
can be cooked. and it gives tho con-
venience for frying hard tack-and fried
hard tack is O delicacy that every SOL
dier learns to love no matter how high
o civilian may turn up his nose even at
the thought of it. Or if you have no
frying pan or no fire slice of salt pork
between two crackers makes not un-
palatable sandwich. But no soldier need
to suffer ON hard tack and coffee alone.
He will often glSw fat on this diet But
the great thing is coffee. 1t is the sol
dier's best friend. 1t is the elixir Of
life. 1t is life itself. Ask any old soldier
and see what he will say.-Boston

service here is the best evidence of the
efficiency of his work for the govern
ment. He is just the boy to bring the
Oregon around Cape Horn or any other
place. He would get her through IL the
hole was big enough"
Captain Clark, during most Of his
residence in Chicago, occupied house
belonging to John Dowling, near the
waterworks When Captain Clark rent
ed the house, the real estate agent
brought him one Of the interminable
leases to sign. He read it over and de-
cided right there that he never could
obey all the conditions in that lease, aud,
being extremely conscientious, he de-
clined to sign the formidable looking
document Bowling heard of the cap
tain's scruples and told him to move in,
and he could pay the rent or not, just
as he wanted to. He remained over
three years. Bowling generally ac-
knowledged the receipt Of his rent by

Oregon's
Long
Voyage

Great things have always been cx-
pected of the Oregon, the big battleship
which recently completed her remark
able voyage from the Pacific to the At
lantic.
Ever since her trial trip, when she
exceeded her speed requirements by 118
knots--an unusual thing in vessel Of
her class--the big steel ship has been
in a class rather apart. That this in
formal and unofficial rating 9f the ves-
sci was not entirely unjustified her un-
precedented circling of continent seems
sufficient proof.
The importance of her last achieve
ment lies primarily in the demonstra-
tion it affords Of the seaworthiness when
properly handled Of the heaviest mod
ern battleship. To begin with, the Ore
gon is what is officially known as q
coast line battleship, plated with the
heaviest armor and weighed down by
the heaviest guns that warships have
ever been permitted to carry. 1t has
long been held that such vessels were
little better than floating fortresses,
valuable for coast and harbor defense,
but hardly to be considered as ships at
all.
The achievement Of the Oregon shows
that this is not necessarily 30. To make
a trip Of $4,000 miles, through varying
climes and all conditions Of weather, at
a continuous high rate Of speed, and to
reach her destination ahead of her sched-
uled time, would be cause for felicita-
tion in vessel built for seaworthiness
alone. When il is accomplished by
craft so formidably equipped for other
ends, which it was supposed could be
so completely served only at the expense
of seaworthiness, the performance be-
comes remarkable
To fully appreciate what the Oregon's
feat really means it must be recalled
that she is battleship Of 10, 2Ss tons
burden. Her engines develop 5000
horsepower Fer armament embraces
four l3 inch breechloading rifles in
pairs, placed in two 15 inch barbette
turrets; eight 8 inch and four inch
breechloading rifles in the main battery
and twenty @ FOUNDER and six pound
er rapid fire guns and four Gatling guns
in the secondary battery. The ship is
encircled by steel belt IS inches in
thickness, and her decks are covered
with layer Of three inches of chilled
steel. No such vessel ever before at
tempted such trip. Many have held
that its accomplishment was an impos-
sibility.
The Oregon left San Francisco on
March 10. Her first stopping place was
at Callao, whence she sailed again on
April 8, making for Sandy Point. Here
she picked up the gunboat Marietta,
and henceforth her speed was lessened,
as that craft was capable of but 10
knots an hour. The two reached Rio
Janeiro. Here they were joined by the
Buffalo, and the three were again re-
ported at Bahia ON May 9. Since that
time the precise movements Of the big
vessels are in doubt, though she is
known to have left her consorts behind
and was reported unofficially at the
Barbados
The number OK miles supposedly cov-
cred by the Oregon ON her great trip
are as follows:

EVANGELIsT IRELAND STEAKS.

An audience which filled the large auditorium of Trinity M. E. church last night listened quite attentively to an address by w. F. Ireland, the reformed convict. MT. Ireland is at present en- gagged in evangelistic work in the jails and penitentiaries of the country, hav- ing been converted while confined in prison on three years sentence. He said that men and women who have become degraded and are down in the world, are not wholly responsible for remaining so, but that the people with whom they come in contact are. He cited numerous instances in his life which, when he was seriously consider ing the matter of leading a better life, caused him to fall back in the old way. He said that the training which he received at home was more valuable to him and caused him to turn to Christ more quickly than he otherwise would have. He spoke of how he had sought pleasure in dance halls, clubs and saloons, but found there was no uoe loohius to liie Woilu ioi SdtiSldc- tion, and that he found no pleasure until he found Christ. The grace of God is larger than everything and it can change all. When he was convert ed he resolved to be the means of bring ing another boy or girl to God and was thankful to say that he had Tn clos ing the speaker said that he wanted to he Gods humble servant and do His work.
