THE leaves are falling from the tree
How bare and ugly they look" cried
the first speaker.
''Oh. but it is SO pleasant to gather
the leaves" was the reply; then we see
more of the blue sky, and the sun
shines on us better"
The other frowned angrily and said
"Your ears and eyes must be made diff.
ferently from NINE"
All! children. the difference was moi
in the ears and the eyes, but in the
heart. If the heart Is right, the brook
will sing. not scold; the sky will look
blue, and through the bare branches

Our Duty to Cuba.

Senator II. d. Money
The United States has duty to per-
form, to herself, to Cuba, and to Spain;
and this duty must be approved by con-
siderations Of reason, Of justice, and Of
honor. We have never strlven for, nor
even desired, the hegemony Of the Amer
lean States. On the contrary, our gov
ernment has, with rare exceptions, stu
diOusly avoided international complica-
tlons and responsibilities, perhaps at
times to the prejudice Of our national
prestige But 1t often happens that the
situation of nation, while COnferring
certain privileges and rights, also i'm
poses certain duties and obligations; and
however willing 1t might be to disasso
Clate itself from the affairs Of other
countries and to ignore their claims, 1t
cannot always in honor and safety do so.
Such case cOnfronts us to-day. The
Cuban problem presses for solution; and
there is a general desire to solve 1t
wisely. We must determine what ac-
tion Is required Of us that we may be
true both to ourselves and to the Cubans,
and, as far as Is consistent, considerate

two years Congress, for the first time
taking the initiative, has been discuss
ing the recognition Of belligerency; a
power heretofore exercised by the execu-
tive In all forms Of government. Legis-
lative action in such matters has, until
recently, been confined to an expression
Of opinion intended to excite party ex-
ecutive to action. The joint resolution
recently passed by the Senate would be
an authoritative recognition of belliger-
ency Of the highest character, II 1t
should meet with executive approval;
and, as consequence, important bene-
fits would inure to the insurgents. The
Cuban cruisers would have the same
rights as those of Spain; and the Cuban
flag would be as much respected. Her
captured soldiers would be entitled to
treatment of war; and Cuba would enjoy
the same rights as Spain to purchase all
munitions Of war, and what Is more i'm
portant-to borrow money. Perhaps,
also, her credit would become as that OF
Spain.

An AriCkaree Veteran Insane.

The dispatches say that Commissioner
Tom Murphy of Sumner county is in
sane. and attribute his trouble to wounds
received in the Civil war. The story is
untrue, but since his name is before the
public 1t may interest readers to know
something of him. Murphy was one OF
fifty-twO men who, under the leadership
Of General Forsyth and Lieutenant Fred
Beecher, were in the battle Of the Arick-
aree with the Indians. Forsyth was then
a Colonel and he conceived the idea that
effective warfare against the Indians
could not be conducted by regular SOL
diers. He thought that better results
could be obtained by recruiting light
mounted companies of hardy frontiers
men. These men would know the hab-
It's and disposition of the Indian, were
better marksmen and were specially flt-
ted to withstand the hardships of fight
ing on the barren plains. Phil Sheridan,
who was then in command Of the de-
partment Of the Missouri, approved the
plan and authorized Forsyth to raise and
equip such a company, which he did in
1868. Every man in his command was
Kansan, most of them being from Sa-
line, Ellsworth and Lincoln counties.
The company was mustered In at Fort
Harker. Murphy was one Of the men.
II he had been badly injured in the
Union army he would not have been re-
garded as fit man for this work, and
would not have been accepted, The com
pany only had one battle, but it was one
Of the hardest blows ever received by
the Indians. One of the best informed
members Of the company gives Murphy
credit for planning movement to an
island In the river which proved the sal
Vation Of the company. The details Of
the fight are too long to be given here,
but Kansans may well be proud of the
record made by their fellow citizens
1t Is not likely that over twelve or if
teen members Of the company are now
living, and 1t Is doubtful whether sim
gle one got through the three days fight
Ing against thousands of Indians, and
the subsequent seven days of hunger
and pain without having left behind
some evidence Of the hardships suffered
In the shape of wounds or disease. The
history Of these men and of this fight
should be written and preserved.

Home Making.

From the WOman's Home Companion.
In the program OF daily tasks there
are some, very naturally, for which even
the enthusiastic home-maker has no
taste.
Perhaps she even shrinks from the
performance Of these tasks and would
like to shrink from them altogether II
her pride In her own housekeeping would
permit her to do so; and yet she knows
that they are just as important and es-
sential as the more pleasant duties in
making up the sum Of her daily work
The unloved duties are the trying points
OF each days work, and are often left to
the tired end Of the day, when they are
dOubly annoying. Taken one at a time,
while we are fresh, and absolutely con-
quered, they no longer serve as the Bit
ter drops to our labors. The tasks we
call unpleasant often show lis the weak
points In our characters, they are the du-
ties that call for special patience or care
taking, or a marked concentration of
thought and skill for certain time, and
perhaps perseverance we are unwilling
to give before perfection is reached.

Nwas not movement OF a muscle, culver

Care Of the Teeth.
From the Rural World.

From the Rural World.
The upper teeth should be brushed
downward and the lower teeth upward
from the gums. Do not brush the teeth
crossways, as they are apt to become
loosened and the gums will also suffer.
The inside of the teeth should be brushed
in the same way. Tepid water rs the best
to use both for cleansing the teeth and
rinsing the mouth out afterwards.
The tooth brush should be small and
curved, so that the bristles can get In all
the interstices Of the teeth. It should
not be too hard, and when a new tooth
brush Is purchased it should be soaked
in water several hours before using II
the brush is dried on towel after being
used and stood up ON end in the air 1t
will last much longer. Tooth brushes
should never be kept in closed recepta-
cleS.

While the reports to the winter and spring

SYRACUSE, n. Y, May 22.-The fight
last night between Kid Mccoy and Gus
Rubin, the latter of Cleveland, re-
suited in a victory for Mccoy after 20
rounds. Three thousand persons were
in the Alhambra, where the fight was
held. There was little betting on
the result and the showing made
by Rubin was a surprise. He stood
lot of punishment and was always
ready to come back for more. He
was apparently strong at the finish.
There was a great difference in the
weight of the men, Mccoy, according
to his statement. weighing 157 pounds.

WITH every disposition on the part
of the executive to make the present
war short, sharp and decisive, it is re-
allied that the shortcomings of our
military service are so many that de-
lays are inevitable and that much
work will be necessary to put the ma
ton in efficient fighting shape. 1t has
been found that the equipment of the
army. small as it is in comparison with
the great army of the rebellion. is
sadly lacking and those we'll posted
say it is not remarkable that no posi-
tive start has been made sooner by the
army appointed to occupy Cuba.
