this country and Spain. By the same
arrangement any letter can be sent to
this country from any Spanish posses
sion if the precaution is taken to have it
sent to London and remailed there, I'M
der British stamp. With Cuba, how
ever, mail communication is cut off as
clean as a whistle, and the world has
been officially informed by the regular
formal proclamation that there is n
blockade in existence there, and that
no vessel will be allowed to land there,
Notwithstanding the terms of the In
ternational Postal union, a proviso to
which arranges for just such condi-
ton of things, war, as now exist. The
Cuban is not ready letter writer, and
he can stand any deprivation as re-
CARDS his mail. Indeed, he is just about
as happy whether he gets it or not.
There has been but very little mail COM
munication between Cuba and Spain
until during the past couple of years,
during which there has been a very
large force of Spanish soldiery there.

and they remained immovable now, my
self among them, when it was all over
but the going home. The engine was
fascinating still, with its three pow
erful horses, with its FURNISHED smoke
stack and fittings, and its kissing steam,
and its suggestion of power everywhere
and we just stood there and looked at it
and waited five minutes, / guess, may be
ten, just to hear the bell clang and see
the driver gather up the reins and turn
the great team and start off on the way

How COmmuni catiOns Must Be sent
These Wartime Days-Can-

''Of course all communication with
Spain and Cuba, so far as nails con-
cerned, has been suspended" exp NAMED
post Office official to Washington
Star reporter, but that does not mean
mail from other countries is cut off.
For instance, our post offices return all
letters addressed to Spain or Cuba with
q stamp thereon to the writer's, inform
ing them of suspended mail arrange
ments. A letter, however, can be got to
Spain or any of its possessions except
Cuba, which is blockaded against all
corners, by little diplomacy and tact.
If a letter is sent to Canada or London,
or indeed any British possession and
mailed there, it will be sent to
any Spanish possession, for there

judgment, but they did work better be.
fore they got so discouraged. While
the rest of us were getting start they
had more than heir share of sickness
and death and accidents to their prop
erty."
You needn't worry about that"
broke in Mrs. Jenkins; "they are going
back to the mountains. Mrs. Dobson
told me that they was tired of being
lonesome"
A sudden uneasy hush fell on the
little company, followed by a confused
demand for further information.
Mrs. Barnard sat listening to the talk,
which had drifted back to the days be-
fore she lived in the neighborhood.
When pause finally occurred in the
conversation she turned to her COM
panions and asked, brightly: ''Why
can't we give the Dobsons a farewell
party? am sure it would please them,
and whatever we saw fit to give would
seem prompted by friendship rather
than charity"
The women looked at each other in
keen surprise, but before anyone could
protest Mrs. Barnard spoke again: 81
was thinking how much Mr.. Dobson
needed another horse since one of his
span died. l am going to give him my
old Bess. She is homely and rather
mean, but she can work. Mr. Barnard
said yesterday that we had too many
horses"
Il can't do anything so handsome"
exclaimed Mrs. jenkins, but l can give
quilt or two"
And / some canned fruit and ham
or So" added Mrs. Early.
The enthusiasm spread, and amid
confusion of tongues the list of dona-
tons grew and grew.
Suppose you stop on the way home,
Mrs. Barnard" suggested some one,
land tell them about the party. I'm
afraid they wouldn't be tidy enough to
enjoy surprise"
So when the party dispersed Mrs. Bar
nard delivered the neighborhood mes
sage and passed on with a smile of salts
faction.
