The little squabble between Byers'

A Celestial Map of Cuba

The other afternoon a curious phe

sky, where, wrapped in the clouds

The island, in every line; in it's hills

perfectly traced in the clouds. There
were the shadows and lights and
cnrves and corners, and to those who
had studied the map the island was
plainly discernible.
Many saw the strange picture in the
clouds and there were many who look
ed intently at the island. A car going
to Decatur was filled with passengers
and at an abrupt turn in the track the
painting blazed in all its beauty and
symmetry upon the gaze Of the aston,

'"There was the bay Of Havana, the

"The picture was perfect in its out
lines" said MI. ]. H. Smythe, land
the execution of the lines, shadows,
and indentations along the coast could
not have been excelled by a drafts
man. I never saw anything in my
life more plain. Above the cloud of
island fell the light Of the moon, and
the picture was one Of marvellous
beauty and grandeur.
All over the city the strange phe-
nomenon was commented upon. From

could be secured, and from the tall Of

Such circumstances would,
And with his heart in tempest,
His surging soul in swirls.
He calmly faced the muzzles
OF half q hundred girls.
There were eyes Of skyey blueness,
There were eyess of beaming brown
There were eyes Of gray and hazel,
There were eyes to bring one down
From heaven to Long Island
To wear the hero's crown.
And Hobson stood among them.
While batteries Of smiles
Were turned full on the hero,
In varying forms and styles,
Which filled the air with heart-throbs
And strewed them round in piles.
At last one dainty maiden,
A dream of pink-white bliss,
From sanity old st. Louis
with more of them like this)
Reached up and handed Hobson
A large and luscious kiss.
Then out spake Hero Hobson:

eff any one had mentioned
That this would come to me,
For sinking that old vessel
Down in the Cuban sea,

To sink a single one,
But would have sunk a million

KNIGHTS OF ROBERT EMME1
A Successful Celebration of Their Patrons
Birthday Anniversary.

The 10th anniversary Of the birth
OF Robert Emmett was observed in fit
ting manner, Friday evening, by the
knights of Robert Emmet, in their hall,
at 9S Front street. President John J..
Rogers presided in his usual happy man
ner, and the toasts of the evening
abounded in eloquence and noble eu-
ogy Of the great Irish defender of lib
erty and independence. The opening
speech of the evening was made by
President John ]. Rogers, who, in a
graceful manner, welcomed all present,
and told Of the birth Of Emmett which
the organization was honored to cele-
brate. The next address was one of
the features of the evening, being an
eloquent eulogy on the Life of Robert
Emmett by Edward Manning, who
sketched the life of the Irish national
ist who after the apparently futile ef-
fort Of Wolf Tone to free the Irish race,
stepped into the breach and made a
dashing move for the freedom Of his
country which had won applause from
| the lovers of free speech and free
thought for all ages. Emmet was tried,
but, with an impassioned and eloquent
speech from the dock which will ring
down the corridors of time, he instilled
ia MS IellOWS ana even IN the nedTlS OF
the stern and hostile chancellor, an ad-
miration and respect for the Irish cause,
whose echo thrills and inspires men TO
the present day. His name will live
forever, and with other martyrs who
have died as a living sacrifice to their
country's glory, his name will be high
among the immortals.

lin gave a recitation and W. H. McMa-
