How often do we hear men complain

hear men rejoicing i've the successes
and happiness that are theirs. Every
one has something to be thankful for,
and he is acting the part of an migrate
who fails to express his gratitude to
Him who has so often blessed him.
We love to hear men rejoice over the

CAUSE OF DELAY.
Some Reasons Why We Have Not Yet
Moved on Cuba.

G0ue Rea800S why
Moved on Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 2O--With every
disposition on the part OF the executive
- make the present war short, sharp
and decisive, it is beginning TO be real
i've hat the shortcomings OF ouR> mill
tarv service are so many that delays
are inevitable and that much work
will be necessary to put the nation in
efficient fighting shape. Every day
drings forth some weak spot that has
to be strengthened. or some hidden de-
feet. such as the discovery at this
late moment that every regular army
officer who accepted a volunteer ap-
pointment would forfeit his commits
sion in the regulars and SO become IL
able to be lefE out of the service en-
tirelv at the end of the war. Few
officers cared to risk their future IN
that way, so q rush was made to-
ward Congress to secured the neces-
sary legislation. Again it was found
that the equipment Of the army, shall
as it is in comparison with the great
army of the civil war, is sadly lack
ing. Nearly a month after the formal
declaration, Of war. the War Depart
ment to-day purchased a number Of
shelter tents and it has just secured
the hammocks that experts say are
essential to existence in Cuba. These
preparations involve delay go that it is
not remarkable that in spite of the
herculean efforts of the officers Of the
army, no positive start has yet been
made toward its goal by the army OF
occupation. Probably it is this fact,
rather than any unreadiness on the
part of the navy that causes the cam
paign to drag in its inception, for the
Navy Department has announced that
it stood ready at any moment to fur
nish conveys for the troop transports,
provided they were started from one
point.
To maintain the army Of 200, 600
men for six months will cost $50, OOO, 600
according to estimates prepared by
Paymaster General Stanton, and the
leading officials are beginning TO fear
that Institutes may run along beyond
this period. The reason is the grow
ing conviction on the part of some OF
the officers that they must not reckon
any substantial assistance from the
Cuban rebels in this campaign, and
moreover must meet the Spaniards in
Cuba in their strongest sphere, that of
the defensive.

Remembered the Bible Story.

Surgeons who removed a rib
from young man in Lewiston,
Me-, must have discovered in him
just such a bone as was taken from
Adam IN the Garden of Eden.
After the operation the patient was
deiHlous for two days, during
which he kept calling for "the wo-
man."
1 want to see the woman" he
kept saying.
At last the nurse in desperation
said: Well, I'm the woman!''
The man looked at her critical
ly from top to toe, and said:
Who would have thought that
they could have made such pretty
girl of one of my ribs"
And then he settled back on his
pillow and when he woke again he
was in his right mind.
