naturally shrink from being regarded as
objects of public charity
I'm our opinion private charity would be
seriously impeded If the government as
sumed all the burdens.
Properly equipped municipal or county
hospitals are expensive institutions, and,
apart from the odium connected with being
an inmate of county hospital it is much
better to have the sick poor cared for in
hospitals located in different sections of the
city, because of easier access and the pre-
vention of crowd poisoning, which can
scarcely be avoided when so many sick are
aggregated under one roof.
Advantages of the Plan.
Hospital and dispensary boards ough,
not to expect public support unless they
comply with the requirements of the CEN
trail agency Of the government, and merit
alone should be the key to the public funds.
The advantages of the proposed plan are:
THAT hospitals owned and, wholly or to
great extent. supported by the govern
ment would be under the control of the
municipal authorities.
Specific appropriations for hospitals and
diSpensaries owned and controlled by sec
tartan or corporate bodies would cease, but
the state simply pays for the care and
treatment of INDECENT sick, and not for the
extension and completion Of institutions
originated by benevolent enterprise 1t
matters little to humanity and good gov
eminent whether hospital caring for the
sick poor is memorial hospital, a chill
dren's hospital, a college hospital or sec
tartan hospital, SO long as the authorities
have the satisfaction of knowing that the
money has been expended for the benefit
Of deserving sick poor admitted by proper
authority. and that the sick are properly
and economically cared for.
ut is clearly the duty of the state to
discourage pauperism. and one of the chief
functions of the board of charities, through
its paid agents, should be to prevent the
admission of unworthy cases, but to ex-
tend willing hand and even seek those
who in their sturdy self-asserting manhood
prefer suffering to charity"

The Volunteer Reserve

The enlistment blank of the National
Volunteer Reserve, which The Trib-
une printed first on last Tuesday
morning and has since kept standing
in its columns, is now being printed
and circulated throughout the United
States. The Tribune received a per-
sonal request from the organizers of
this patriotic movement, which hears
the Official Endorsement Of the wa de-
partment, Of the leading active and
retired generals OF the army and Of
the governors Of nearly all the states,
to publish the blank free of cost, as a
public duty. The same request was
simultaneously made sto our contem-
poraries and we cannot understand
why any of them should have hesitat-
ed to comply.
IL is proposed by Lieutenant Cen
eral Schofeld, the head Of this move
meat ana the prominent military and
executive officials and eX-ohicials CO.

tional volunteer reserve whose objects

The Oueen RegeEt.

The sympathy with The acting soy
ercign of Spain which is very general
ly held in Europe is fully shared in
the United States. All the information
" hich Americans possess is to the ef-
feet that the queen regent is a woman
Of humane impulses, generous spirit
and signal ability Destiny has wo-
ven around her a network Of unfortu-
nate circumstances which properly
entitle her to the respectful pity of
mankind. Herself not of Spanish blood
and drawn against her wish ana will
into a crisis which permits no leniency
10 the Spanish governments perhaps
not aware in any comprehensive sense
of the inhumanity which has been
practiced in her name in Cuba by the
military cormorants who have preyed
on that unhappy islands vitals: COM
PEELED at the last by concern for the
future Of her Juvenile son to face the
horrible alternative Of a revolutions
at home or hopeless and crushing
foreign war--her dilemma is one which
appeals to the chivally of the Ameri-
can people and causes them so far rs
she is concerned to forego all bitter
ness.
And yet this personal aspect Of the
situation does not change the stern
necessities of justice. 1t is taught in
the creed of American democracy, as
it is by the yet higher preccpts Of
Christianity, that the woe of the queen
cnthroned is not more pitiablc nor
more holy in the sight of God, than is
that of the crushed and bleeding vic
tim of oppression, however poor and
humble. Americans synpathize with
the queen regent; but they sympathize
more deeply with, and they consider
as of infinitely greater importance,
the cruel lot Of the hundreds of thous-
ands of famishcd men, women and
children in devastated Cuba who yet
linger on the living side of the abyss
into which Spanish tiendishness, put
forth with the full sanction Of the
Spanish government, the queen regent
unthinkinGlS approving. has forced
other hundreds of thousands Of hu-
man beings whose bones now populate
the chaos which Spain has wrought.
The sovereign of Spain. true to the
instincts of motherhood to which
Americans low in silent tribute,
yearns to transmit undiminshed the
heritage which she holds in trust for
her boy; hut there are mothers in
Cuba who also have had sons; sons
cut down il the morning Of life by the
barbarou3 Wcyler; sons lured to
death by treachery, tortured by slow
starvation or murdered outright be.
fore their parents eyes. And there
are also American mothers, mothers
whose boys, lately proud beneath the
folds Of their country's flag, now lie
done to death in the Shiny harbor Of
pertidious Havana. We cannot allow
the misCOrtunes Of the one to come
between MS and the duty which in hui
manity's name We owe 10 the other.
The mother Of the infant king Of
Spain is fighting tor a tarnished
crown; a throne made rotten by the
villainy of its upholders; hut the
mothers Of Cuba and America cry to
heaven for Justice

If called upon by the constituted au-
thorities of their state or the United

channels. Headquarters of the Ma
tiUnal Volunteer Reserve have been
established in New York, from which
enlistment blanks are sent out to
where they will be best thought avail
able. 1t is intended that the perma.
Tent organization will include the

tary of war to be eX-oflicio vice COM
mander Of the military forces. and the
general of the army commander; the
secretary of the navy to be eN-ofttcio

and the admiral of the navy to be ex-
oflicio commander; the ex-governor Of each
state to be eX-of7ci0 commander of all

recognized in the summary of the mil
itary forces of the United States, and
copy shall also, be filed With the
governor of each state of the Volun-
teors in his commonwealth.
In brioi. the idea is to have the
patriots Of the country, the men who,
in their CounuH's emergency, would
not wait to be drafted into its SER
vice, but who would promptly volun-
tocr. known and registered, thus en-
ahling our officials 70 say to the world,
not 1--WE have so many million men of
military age who might be impressed
into the service il needed" but "we
have a permanent, enlisted volunteer
reserve of SO many millions, ready t.
spring into line at the word of COM
mand." The placing of this knowl-
edge in definite statistics before Eu-
rope would quickly constitute Il grand
peace measure.
Cut out the blank elsewhere, fill it
cut ana forward it as directed. 1t will
not cost anything or entail any liabil-
ity further than that which rests upon
every true citizen when his country
has need of him.

1t is easy in this fit Of popular eX-
element to say that the president of
the United States has been derelict in
his duty because he didn't instantly
pull a pistol and commence peppering
at Spain, but it will not be so easy to
get the sober second judgment OF the
nation to believe it. Six months, yes,
six weeks from now, the fire alarm

ley will be groveling in the dust in

o
IL Is supposed that the negro race
either predominates in point of numbers
In Cuba, or at least nearly so; but this
does not appear to be the fact, for just
before the rebellion Il was estimated ,hat
there were less than half million of this
race on the island. against over q million
whites and about $1,000 Chinese. OF the
whites, the native born, or Cubans. are
by far the best educated, but neither the
mass of the Spanish residents nor the
negroes are ovcrburdened with scholastic
knowledge. There seems no doubt that
under proper government the wealth of
cuba would be prodi: ious, and even with
n poor rule, but free from the oppression
of Spain, 1t should be of more than ordi-
nary proportions.

Do you believe that the Athenian wom-

building? If You judge from tho art,
they certainly We're SO, But read an au-
thority like Aristophanes, for instance.
You will find that the Athenian ladies
laced tightly, wore high heelod shoes,
dyed their hair yellow, painted and
rouged their faces and were exactly like

SMITHS CAKE.

II Was Something Of a Surprise When
Served at Dinner.
MADAM, you don't know how to
make cake!" exclaimed Mr.. Smith,
throwing lump of half cooked dough
across the room at the cat "You never
knew how to make cake. I'd rather eat
wet sawdust. You ought to have seen
tho cake my mother made. That was
cake!'
"Your mother again-always your
mother!" retorted Mrs. Smith. "Pity
she didn't teach you something's
"What do you mean, madam? I'll
warrant I'll make better cake myself
than you any day"
"Why don't you try? You'll find ey-
erything in the kitchen"
"Well, can. !"
"Well, why don't you? You are all
talk"
Smith found himself cornered, and
felt very uncomfortable, as he had Ell
ther to surrender Internationally or to
mako good his boast. He had never

cakes were compounded, but thought he
knew what was in thcm.
I'll make the cake" he said
"Well, come into tho kitchen and
make it," proposed his wife.
"What, now?
Eyes, now I'll get the things for
you"
Smith took off his coat, his collar and
necldio and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
and Smith said:
"What shall mix it in?"
ooh, you're doing it," Mrs Smith
replied.
"Ah, this will do, +" he said, taking
up bowl. CHOW bring mo some water,
now some raisins and currants, sugar
and ginger and allspice. There, that
will do. He put them all into the
bowl and mixed them with spooh,
"Thcy don't seem to stick together, v
he said. "Looks moro like thick soup
than anything else. Fancy I've got too
much water. " Smith drained off some
of tho water and was about to put the
cako into pan, when his wife said:
Didn't your mother use llour:'
"Oh, ycs-ycs-ah, yes-tlour, Of
course" Then he mixed in flour until
it was so stiff that he could hardly
kncnd it. "Now," said he, I'm take
this cake round to the bakers and have
it baked properly" lIo started off, and
when he reached tho baker he said
"Will you just throw this stuff away
and put in its place one Of your best
plum calles?"
That night at supper Mrs. Smith had
her mother and sister with her. She
had told them of tho cake, and they

COURAGE.


II Is not they that never knew
Weakness or fear who are the brave
Those are the proud, the knightly few
Whose Joy Is still to serve and save
But they who in the weary night
Amid the darkness and the stress
Have struggled with disease and blight
with pitiful world WEAKNESS,
They who have yearned to stand among
The free and mighty Of the earth,
Whose sad, aspiring souls are wrung
With starless hope and hollow mirth,
Who die with every day, yet live
Through merciless, unbrightened years,
Whose sweetest right is to forgive
And smile divinely through their tears.
They are the noble, they the strong,
They are the tried the trusted ones.
And though their way Is hard and long,
Straight to the plying God it runs.
