Santiago de Cuba, July 26.-The first
American postoffice IN Cuba was opened
on June % at Baiquiri. Eben Brewer being
the postal agent. From the frsc day
United States postage stamps were sold
and money orders issued An immense
amount of mail had accumulated at Tam
pa since the departure of the army, and
It's prompt delivery to the men at the
front, after its arrival at Baiquiri, was
task OF some magnitude. After sorting
the mail by regiments and companies Mr..
Brewer bought a horse, loaded the animal
with heavy pouch of mail and started
for the front to make delivery. 1t was
the first mail in Cuba under American
auspices. He was gone thirty-siK hours,
and Immediately after his return made
another trip, this time hiring two mules,
on which he loaded the mail matter. and
tied to the back of the one he rode him
self. He was gone four days. Ind be-
sides delivering his mail he assisted in
caring for the wounded on the battlefield
and helped the field surgeons in their
task. Mr.. Brewer, during these four days,
took neither sleep or rest, and the SOL
diers among whom he went agree tia he
was as seif-sacrifcing on the field of
battle as the brave men whom he helped
during several days of fierce fighting.
In the meantime, 400 sacks of mail lad
accumulated at BaiQuiri, and an improve
ment in the system of mail distribution
became imperative. 1t was decided to
move the postofice closer to the front,
and on July 6 the Siboney postofflce vas
opened in place of the old Baiquri Of
fee. BY this time Lewis Kempner had
arrived as assistant to Mr. Brewer, and
in two days every piece of mail matter
was at the front, sent there by pack
mules, wagons and carts
In this short space of time, since the
of the office considera Die
business has been done. Money orders
to the value Of more than Sc. 900 have been
Issued and 5000 worth of stamps and
stamped envelopes have been sold.
A million pieces of mail matter have
thus far been received and distributed and |
more than half million letters have
been forwarded to the United States.

Reason For Rejoicing.

There is no country which has more
reason than our own TO celebrate the an
niversary of the birthday of our country.
Those IL colonies, numbering not 3,00C,
900 people, are now 50, 900, 600, as free and
enlightened as any upon Gods footstool.
We little realize today the privations Of
Valley Forge or the sufferings of our pill
grim fathers and mothers. The formation
period OF our government was critical.
They had the same errors and differences
To fight against that we have now. We
can render no higher homage to the MEM
DRY of our fathers than to baptize our souls
afresh with patriotism. 1t is more than
an attachment to the soil-it is devotion
to political idea Exchange.

The Fearless SiRners.

None of the men who became world
famous for all time by their part in the
Revolutionary war and in the delicate and
intricate negotiations that followed had
more To lose or risked their all more reso-
lutely and intrepidly than did the signers
of the Declaration of Independence. They
were the first American heroes. The en-
thusiasm of popular movement, we'll de-
fined and started toward success, was lack
ing for their inspiration. They were the
creators of the tremendous enterprise In
which the destinies of a race were en-
barked. Failure meant the loss of prop
erty, of social caste, of existence itself.
Success of the most signal kind even-the
kind that came-meant incalculable sacri-
fees for most Of them. 1t was life or death
in the cast of the die, and they cast 1t fear.

Dearest, for me the breath Of flowers,
The morning breaking rosy wise.
For you the red worm through the hours
And mold upon your eyes
For you the earth smell and the rain.
The wan roots writing overhead.
For ne AN ever sobbing pain,
And few. few words you said.
For ne the light pulsating waste.
For me the noisy, wrinkling sea,
For you all silences are laced,
All darks wove endlessly.
And yet I would that could lie
In darks and silences as deep,
Where drawn lips can not laugh OF sigh.
Nor dusty eyes can weep

Beneath the sky g caressing smile,
Went sometimes sorrowing for the dead
As do all the while.

There ought not to be such an over
whelming sense of depression and weak
ness as a woman feels at this time and there
would not be IL she was in a perfectly strong
and healthy condition. In thousands of
cases motherhood has been Invested of all
its dangers and a large proportion of its
pain by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is the most marvellous
remedy ever discovered for restoring com
plete organic health and strength to the
delicate special structure involved in moth
erhood. Taken early during the prospective
time il makes the mother strong, energetic
and cheerful and carries her through the
period of trial with comparative comfort
and ease. II increases the baby's natural,
constitutional vigor and adds to the joys of
motherhood the supreme satisfaction of a
strong. robust, lusty infant. "Favorite Pre-

for nursing mothers. Every expectant
mother will appreciate what is said by Mrs.

she writes
II have used your medicines in my family for
