Opposing to Caponi.,np.

A well-known English poultryman
thus comments on capons: II have
eaten capon more than once, and agree
with some of our best poultry authori-
ties that the quality of the fowl had
been injured for the sake of gaining
9 little size, and being able to keep
cockerels in table condition till IL

Land Contest between NJ. e. Cham.
berIain and Miss O'Brien.
| A land contest case of long stand,
ing in this county was practically set
tied by a decision handed down by
the general land commissioner last
week. The case in question was be-
tween Miss Annie O'Brien and Myron
E. Chamberlain for the possession of
the north half of the southwest
quarter and the southwest quar-
ter of the southwest quarter: Of
section II, township 123. range A,
The land was originally supposed to
be railroad indemnity land, but after
the ownership by the railroad was dis.
proven, two claimants appeared. The
case was before both the district court
aud the land Office at Marshall, and
in both Instances, the, land was adj
judged to be owned by Chamberlain.
Miss OBrien's attorneys, Spooper and
Shelly, then appealed to the general
office at Washington. Here. the find
ings of the district land Office were re-
versed, and the reasons therefore given
in a very exhaustive and carefully
written decision. This practically
concludes the case, unless Chamber
lain should appeal to the Secretary
of the Interior, which is, however,
not likely.
The land thus secured by Miss An
ME O'Brien is valuable, and she, as
we'll as her attorneys, may congratu-
late themselves upon their final sue
cess. 49,

BACHELORS THROUGH SPITE

Men Who will Not Marry Because Of
Petty Personal Objections.
It seems almost improbable that any
man should remain unmarried all his
life simply to crafty some petty per
sonal feeling Of spite; yet curiously
enough such cases are not at all un
common.
Some years ago two young men who
were sworn friends promised each 9th.
er never to marry, and by way Of max
Ing the thing more binding vowed that
give the other half his income as long
as he remained in the state Of single
blessedness. Unfortunately the friend
ship refused to withstand the test of a
keen business rivalry into which they
were thrown by circumsta noes later on.
And when one married, the other stub
bornly remained a soured old bach
elor for the pleasure Of thus being able
to keep his one-time friend to his reck.
less compact The married mans in
come now being pretty colossal, the
grimness Of the situation may be imag'
ined.
Another case is that Of a well-known,
though somewhat weak-minded, cot
ton manufacturer belonging to Liver
pool. Years ago his master taunted
him that he would never succeed In life
unless he married a woman with suf.
fcient brain to supply his own lack Of
mental backbone, to use an Irishism.
The thrust ranked; and the young ap-
prentice both remained a bachelor and
became successful merely out of a
spiteful, melodramatic hope Of one day
being able to fling those words back II
his masters teeth.

T r AVANA. the capital of Cuba,
~ is n worldcity. known wher-
Il Il ever the fame of cities has
reached. and deserving of its fame, too,
for like all great cities of industry and
art. it is unique. Cuba's capital Is
| ,oeval with the Medterranese conquest
Of the Western hemisphere. The name
of the city Is characteristic of the re-
ligious Latin races. for when Diego de
Velasquez laid its foundations. In 1915,
ne christened II San CristObal de la Ha-
bana-St Christopher of the haven or
harbor-in honor of Columbus, the dis
coyerer of the island. This name, be-
slowed upon the city by the conqueror
Of the island has remained unchanged,
and it is still officially so called. But
Its popular name has been shortened to
Habana in Spanish and Havana in 9TH
er tongues. The city has population
Of about 100000.
Havana is sited on the west side Of
the lay of its own name-one Of the
most beautiful bodies of water of its
kind found anywhere. The city stands
on n sort of peninsula that is formed
on one side by the waters of the bay,
and on the other by those of the gulf.
In Olden times it was one of the strong
est of the places of the civilized world.
When ships of war were of wood and
carried few guns whose bullets IIere
repealed by granite masonry, Havana
was impregnable. But the "oak levia-
thans' and the "rock-built cities" Of
Lord Byron are now historical. On
The one hand the recent destruction Of
The Maine indicates the cause why
granite walls are no longer needed. and
Oh the other it Is seen how the subma-
rine mine and torpedo have developed
gun powder. which enables a ship to
stand miles without a harbor and land
shells In n city's heart.
Yet if it We're not for Spanish poverty
and decline, Havana to-day might have
been as relatively strong as when. in
1855. it drove the fierce Sir Francis
Drake away from Its coasts. The fact
is that the Spaniards have not kept step

thousands Of Americans had been there
long ago were 1t not for the blighting
and repressing rule of Spain-a rule
that tends to ruin commerce and enter
prise wherever 1t has sway.
In 1850 the seat Of Spanish official
dom in Cuba was transferred from Sam
tiago de Cuba to Havana. an early rec
ognition of the city's Importance. One
year later pirates under the leadership
of the notorious Jacob Sores attacked
the town, sacked its church and rhe
dwellings of the wealthy and compelled
the commander Of the fortress to sur
render. Sores soon grew tired Of the
place and withdrew. But his example
was frequently followed, and numer-
Gus attempts were made by buccaneers
to capture the city and loot it. Notable
among these efforts was that of the En-
glish buccaneer, Sir Francis Drake,
who assaulted Havana in 1885, but was
compelled to retire. The first scourge
Of yellow fever appeared in the ship
ping during the summer of 1761. In
1862 Admiral Pocock, with an English
squadron. attacked Havana and forced
It to capitulate. For two months the
city put up a brave defense. In 1853
Havana was restored to the Spanish by
the treaty of Paris.
The first newspaper published in Ha-
vana was La Gaceta de Ia Habana,
