The Memory of SauaIfd Guatemala
Overpnwered Parfsfan Spfendor.

There is no question about it, no mat
ter how humble or unpretentious our
! homes are, there IS no place in the world
like them said a gentleman who lives
in Guatemala, recently. Guatemala IS
by no means one Of the. worst places in
which to live, especially in the coffee grow
ing sections. However, there are GER
tainly much more desirable places all
over the world. 1t is a fact that the ma
tlves there prefer IT to anywhere else IN
the world. This was shown in a striking
case which came under my observation.
"a wealthy gentleman in Guatemala
married a beautiful girl. She was one of
the most magnificent looking creatures I
ever saw. of the pure Spanish blond type,
which is seldom seen. The girl had been
educated abroad and given every advan-
tage. She was refined and cultivated. Her
husband was devoted to her, n a short
while after her marriage took her to Paris
to live. There they had a splendid resi-
denca, and everything that the heart of a
highbred woman could desire. Every
thing was magnlficently appointed. They
entertained sumptuously. having ample
means with which to do 50. Still the
bride was unhappy.
often the husband would return n
find his wife In tears. He thought she
would finally overcome it, but it seemed
to increase. AT last one day. becoming
fearful that her health would suffer, he
forced her to tell him what was the mat
ter. 1t was simply that she wished to re-
turn to Guatemala to witness q little local
feast participated in by the Indians and
natives in that country. The feast was
given annually, and as a child she had
been accustomed to attend 1t. Although
she had access to all the fine displays in
Paris. and Europe, she preferred to see the
poor little celebration at home. Realizing
that her heart was SO fixed upon 1t. her
husband was forced to r~elinquish the al
Iurements of the gay French capital and
take her back to the squalid surround
ings of Guatemala. washington Star.

Recently James Thayer of Man
chester Centre lost a horse known as
Bill, familiar figure to all Manches-
ter people aud hundreds of strangers
who had been carried to and from the
depot, in rain and shine by this val
liable animal Kind and gentle he
was everybody's favorite but it was
reserved for little girl but II years
of age to immortalize "Bill" in these
pat verses:
Poor old Bill is dead and gone,
He had shock and fell to the
ground,
He eatned my farm and all that's there,
And he has climbed the golden stair.
His age for sure cannot tell,
But no horse ever did so well.
There is Il vacant stall which no other
horse caa fill,
The barn is al so lonely without our
dear old Bill.
We laid him in the earth away,
And hope to see that horse some day
We miss him at the depot,
We miss him at the train,
We miss hin all along the road,
Even if it rains.
Faithful, true and honest friend.
Thy name shall rDlltill centuries end.

WAR NOTES.

The interest in the war has center
ed around Santiago and the Philip
pines. A daring deed was perform
ed by Lieut.. Hobson, who with sew.
en- men took large collier into the
narrowest part of the channel leading
into Santiago harbor, turned it cross
wise aud sank it amid a CALLING fire.
AS the men could not return in an
open boat they rowed into the harbor
and surrendered, The object of this
was to block the channel,
Sampson has bombarded the batter
ries in and near Santiago two or three
different times, evidently preparing the
way for landing force if it ever gets
there.
AT Manila the insurgents have kill.
ed 1000 Spaniards and taken 1900
prisoners.
