DOUBLE DEALING.
II is the Cause OF rIany Heart Burn
iugs. A Martinsburg Case That
Was the Opposite.

Double dealing, like so many ex-
pressions in the Anglo Saxon lau-
guage has different meanings. The
above heading does not refer to the
deceitful hypocriucal specimens Of
manhood who curry favor for their
own ends and keep community in a
ferment by retailing scraps Of conf
dences. This time it is the double
dealing OF the little conqueror, Doan's
Kidney Pills, to be more correct, the
double healing. One member of the
family tests them. Like disease the
injection spreads. Another tries
them, an acquaintance or friend may
be. Result the same. A cure. Read
the statement made by Mr.. John S.
Keedy, of Maple ave-, between Race

Do you know you have asked for the

Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
a woman's heart and woman S life,
And a woman's wonderful lover
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS a child might ask for toy?
Demanding what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of boy.
You have written my lesson Of duty out,
Man.lke you have questioned me-
Now stand at the bar of my woman's soul
Until shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and shirts shall be whole;
require your heart to be true as Gods
stars,
And pure as Heaven your soul.
You require cook for your mutton and
beef;
| require far better thing
A seamstress you're wanting for stock
ings and shirts
| look for a man and king.
A king for beautiful realm called home
And a man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as He did the first,
And say, ut is very good"

From my soft, young cheek one day
Win you love me then, mid the falling

A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
require all things that are grand and
true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give all this, would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this laundress and
cook
You can hire with little to pay;
But woman's heart and woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

Our Army Mostly American Born.

I'm examining the lists OF soldiers
killed aud wounded before Santiago, +"
says the Army and Navy Journal,
lone is struck by the great proper
ton of what may be termed distinc-
lively American names which appear.
1t has been a common belief that the
majority of our regular soldiers were
foreigners, and the hasty deduction
was made that they were of the float
ing population, fighting simply for
their pay, and distinctly inferior men,
tally, morally and physically. In one
list of 40 wounded, 1870 bore Ameri-
can names-fully 70 per cent-and we
think it justifable to claim that fully
one-half of those having Irish names
were born in this country. Conse-
quently. if this list is type of all, at
least SO per cent of our army must be
American born. This is very graft
flying to know. All reports from cor
respondents and disinterested people
unite in praising the fine physique,
general intelligence aud good conduct
of our enlisted men. OF their conduct
in battle the losses they sustained at
Santiago is the best proof, and it is
gratifying to our pride to now know
that they are practically all Aneri-
cans"

enth chapter, of ST. John is the short
est. In the Io7th Psalm four verses
arealike, the eighth, fifteenth, twenty
first and thirty first Each verse OF
the I3Ist Psalm ends alike. No
names or words with more than six
syllables are found in the Bible. The

alike. The word girl occurs once in
the Bible. and that in the third verse

STORY OF cuBA.s FLAo.

Few persons know the history auu
meaning Of the flag Of Cuba Libre. It
is seen everywhere, floating bravely
with the stars and stripes entwiued
with them in windows, or the two
worn side by side on the breasts Of
patriots.
The American flag tells the history
of America. When we look upon it
we read how thirteen dauntiess colo
MES fought for liberty and Of the
growth Of mighty nation. Every
star aud stripe is replete with mean
ing.
A reporter called at the house Of
Dir. John Guiteras, Of the University
OF Pennsylvania, celebrated as ply
stefan and as the Philadelphia repre-
sentative Of the Cuba Junta. He asked
the doctor for an explanation Of the
ensign of the country. The story was
not disappointing. 1t was interesting
and fascinating 1t dated back to the
DAYS OF romance and adventure. when
General Narciseo Lopez, some time
officer in the Spanish army, afterward
revolutiouist and 6lihuster, first
championed the cause of Cuba Llbre.
Though born in Venezuela, Lopez
loved his adopted people. Seeing the
oppression and misery under which
they groaned. he resigned his COM
mission in the ranks of Spain and
came to the United States. Here he
secretly organized an expedition with
which to conquer the Pearl of the An
titles and free it from the heavy yoke
Of the mother country.
DIR. Guiteras seemed pleased to tell
the story of his flag Il have never
seen it published in the United
States, he SAID. The flag was de-
signed by General Lopez in 1851,
when, for the second time he invaded
Cuba. 1t was first raised at Cardenas
in.that same year. The five stripes
stand for the FIVE departments into
which Cuba was then divided. The
colors of the American flag and the
lone star were adopted because this
movement of Gen. Lopez had some
tendency to annexation. Texas, for
merly the Lone Star State, had had
her ambition gratihed. She had been
admitted into the Union six years be-
fore.
The Cuban flag indicated the Gen
erals wish that this lone star, new
risen, should soon, also, be placed
among the others on the & orious en-
sign of the United States. When Lo-
PEE was asked why he had placed the
star on red field instead of on a blue,
he said i want to be a rebel in ev-
erything, even against heraldry.' The
original designs and the first Cuba n
flag ever made are at present in the
possession of Marcisco A. Villaverde,
Cuban patriot, of New York City.
"You may also say said DR..
Guiteras, "that there is some ques-
ton as to the shade of blue of the
Cuban flag. The Cubans seem to
prefer light blue, but have always
maintained that the colors should be
those of the American flag"
So the story of the flag of Cuba
Libre isthe story ofthe beginning of her
struggle against oppression. Forty
eight years ago it seemed as though
the efforts of General Lopez had been
in vain. His expedition failed. The
same year he raised the lone star over
the captured citadel of Cardenas he
was taken prisoner by the Spaniards,
carried to Havana and garroted -
