Old somerset's Treat.

The entertai smtnt provided for the
public by the ladies of Somerset
church last Friday evening was a
brilliant sncccss. The arrangements
in all their details reflected credit or
the fair managers. An innovation
that seemed to evoke universal APP
plause was the introduction of the
speaker by a lady. The good tast
ana sound Judgment of the ladies
were again eviuced in the choice OF
Mrs. Jake Henry to discharge this
high duty. The beautiful and high
thoughts of Mrs. Henry, clothed in
her graceful and elegant diction, star
ted the entertainment on very ibigh
plane from which it never for an in
slant descended. The lecture OF Pres.
Cave on the unique aud rounded char
acter of Robert e. Lee was worthy OF
tts subject. A strange, sweet srel
fell upon the audience as this master
character was rebuiIded before them
under the mastertul hand of the Pres
ident of Kentucky University. Con
corning the lecture itself it is unneC-
essary now t. say more as the citizens
of Mt. Sterling will soon have an OPP
portunity to hear for themselves, after
which we hope to give more ade.
quate notice for the benefit of our
readers more rpmltn.

Heart-warmers.


My neighbor has sent me the dam

cake on her best hand paint d plate
covered with her best hand drawn
napkin. There is bunch of rose

and put the roses in my belt and the
note in my pocket and have a warm
feeling in my heart ali day,
There is another neighbor who has
prettier plates and napkins, and
makes delicious cake, but she never
thinks to send me any. l suppose 1t
is because she knows that | make
good things myself, and she thinks 1
do not care. But I do. That "sun.
shine-cake" tasted better than any
thing know how to make, and the
flowers sweeter than any of those
which grow in my own "patio," and,
though I knew she loved me, it made
the happy tears come to have her "say
it again."
l wonder why we don't oftener say
that we love one another--we staid,
middle-sged people, / mean. Or
course, wo speak from the hearts
depths in The great crisis of life, when
we first find we love each other, or
when some sickness or sorrow comes,
but these times are often very far
apart, aud every day love is 80 sweet

able comfort it is when friend drops
In at the close of a busy day who sees
that you are all tired out, and that
your burned finger, which You have
not had time to tie.up, is aching mis-
erably, and that the "world is vale"
You know she wont tell that you
weren't "self-reliant' for a few min
utes, and you DO enjoy having her
tuck you up on the lounge for little
rest, while she smoothes out the
wrinkle with tender touch, and ties
up your finger, and "kisses the place
to make it WELL" Some people think
that only babies like these things, but
big ones often need them far more.

LOOKS WARLIKE.
Senate PaYOrs Recognition Of the
Republic Of Cuba.


Joint resolution tor the recognition
of the independence of the.people and
republic of Cuba, demanding that the
government of Spain relinquish its
authority and government in the is-
land of Cuba and to withdraw its
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters, and directing the Pres
ident of the United States to use the
land and naval forces of the United
States to carry these resolutions into
effect.
Whereas, the abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than
three years in the island of Cuba, so
near our own borders, have shocked
the moral sense of the people of the
United States, have been disgrace
10 christian civilization, eliminating
as they have in the destruction of
United States batteship, with 266 of
OF its officers and crew, while on a
friendly visit to the harbor of Havana,
and can not longer be endured, as has
been set forth by the President of the
United States in his message to Con-
gress of April ii, 1898, upon which
the action of Congress was invited (;
therefore,
Resolved, by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled:
First-That the people of the island
Cuba are and of right ought to be
free and Independent, and that the
government of the United States here
by recognizes the republic of Cuba as
the true and lawful government of
that island.
Second-That it is the duty of the
United States to demand, and the
government of the United States does
hereby demand, that the government
of Spain at one relinquish its author
ity and government in the island of
Cuba and withdraw it's land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters.
Third-That the president of the
United States be, and he hereby is,
directed and empowered to use the
entire land and naval forces of the
United States and TO call into the &C
tual service of the United States the
militia of the several states to such
extent as may be necessary to carry
these resolutions into effect.
Fourth-That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris-
diction or control over said island,
except for the pscifcation thereof, and
assert it's determination, when that is
accomplished, to leave the govern
and control of the island to its people.
The above was adopted by the
United States Senate on Saturday
night by a vote of 81 to 81. If the
House will concur in these resolutions
the matter then goes TO the President.
A strong fight will be made against
these resolutions by the Administra-
ton.

aud the dogs will run half the night
and hardly ever get out of hearing.
