bear. 1 had the yellow fever, and
know what that is; but, as fact this
disease does not attack northern men
with any virulence, and the alarm fell
on this score is, to a great extent,
groundless.
"A small body Of cavalry, properly
led, would at any time during the last
three years have swept the insurgents
out OF existence. But the idea of those
who were in supreme control was, not
to put the rebellion down. but to keep
1t going in order that they might make
fortune out of the business. The
Spanish soldier was ready to fight all
the time. But he was not allowed to
move, or, if he moved at all, this was
the way Of it: The Spanish got word
that there was band of insurgents in
such a place. A column of troops, num-
bering perhaps one or two thousand.
would be put in motion. There was
no provision for more than the days
march. The insurgents would be
reached. they would be engaged, they
would retire. The troops would set
fire to the hospital-we knew what was
done with the wounded, but we did not
say much about it-and then they
would return to the little fort they had
left And when they were gone the
insurgents would reappear in the same
place. Understand, this was all on
foot. Had there at any time during the
past three years been strong cavalry
force, well led, it would have only been
necessary to say to the officer in COM
mand, Bring in Gomez, and Gomez
would have been brought in. The
whole business was simply farcical.
The country, as / have said, was
studded with little forts. and into these
forts were put small garrisons, and here
the troops remained and nothing was
DONE OF course. there were always
the guerrillas. and they were the choic-
est scoundrels on the top Of the earth.
The guerfillas are composed OF negroes,
Cubans and natives of the Canary isl
ands. They are the scum of Cuba. Un-
der the direction Of the Spaniards they
were formed into rowing bands to cut
off the insurgents and generally to raw
age the country. The latter part of
their duty they carried out in the most
erectual manner They have simply
galloped about, numbering all they
could meet with. They set fire to the
houses of innocent people; they muir

Forgot Something at the Most Crit
ical Moment Of His Life.

Here is a true story Of an absent
minded man to whom it ''came ham

know that Hank forgot, first an last;
but I'll only mention one instance, an
that happened at the time Hank got
married.
You see. Hank knew his failin' as
we'll as anybody, an he was mortal
afraid he would forgit about givin' the
minister the fee; so he KEEP his mind
glued right to that, an completely for
got everything else.
He was to be married in the evenin'
at the parsonage, an when he went
round there, all alone by himself, at the
appinted time an meandered into the
parlor an told the dominic to go ahead
with the splicin', the good man looked
up. sort O. puzzled and surprised like,
an said:
Haven't yOu-er-fOrgotten suthin',
Mr.. Hobbs?'
No. said Hank, still thinkin' of the
fee. I've got it right here in my vest
pocket. Might as we'll pay you now as
any time
why, bless you, my friend, I wasn't
thinkin of the fee,' said the parson.
Time enough for that after I earn it;
but I-er-noticed you'd forgotten the
bride, an
:" BY jiminy' says Hank, glancin'
round, so l have. Mighty glad you
spoke of it! / was almost sure I'd for
gotten somethin', but l couldn't think
what it was
He grabbed his hat and went off on
a jump after his intended. He got
back with her before the dominic closed
up the parsonage for the night. but
it was close shave; an when the story
got out twas a long while afore folks

There is not more noted parsonage

man, a native of the Fatherland. For
fifty years he has been directly connect

crowned With prosperity from no other
reason than his inability 10 say NO

Thousands Of dollars have drifted
from his keeping to an incredulous class
of people, who took advantage of his
kind and sympathetic nature. For eight
years he has been the proprietor OF the

and jovial character makes him a uni
