have some genuine homemade bread and doughnuts, to say nothing of mince pie, and chicken at Christmas, She knew even better than Miss Vincent that ten dollars week would run the house with fair margin, for she was a careful buyer and excellent cook, The furniture was there iii plenty, and she was glad that she could again be of use
 That evening Miss Vincent went tu the evening school where she expected to meet the boys. She told them of the plan she had made for them, saying:
 You know the college boys gather in a house and hire d woman to cook for them, finding they can live much cheaper in a club than when each pays for separate board. This will be very much the same, only this lady does | ot expect to charge you for her work. You will have no wages to pay, but she will of course board with you, ana you will eaeh be at liberty to bring home fruit or anything extra you may wish, if you have friends come to visit you. We have made the price low, and ex- pect you not only to appreciate that, but also the fact that you will really be at home for this is what I expect my manly boys to do; go to this old lady's home and help make one for her and yourselves at the same time''
 We're going to found an old lady's home rather early in life I think, don't you, Miss Vincent?" laughed one of the boyswho was thoroughly delighted with the proposed plan.
 She selected four of the boys whom she had found the most trustworthy in her dealing with them, and the next week found them snugly settled in their new home. The plan was a sue- cess in every way, and at the eNpira- ton of three months the boys begged that another bed might be set up so that two more of their friends could have the same advantages. Mrs. War ner consulted with Miss Vincent and they concluded that by hiring little extra work done if could be managed.
 Mrs. Brigham was good enough and unselfish enough to be really pleased, though she said: No one but you. Agnes, would ever have thought of such thing. am sure you deserve a great deal of credit"
 "Oh, no," laughed Miss Vincent, q just knew there were those boys with cut any home, and here this woman without any boys, so simply brought them together, and, prrstoi the thing was done, and my old lady's home com Dlete. .'-Northern Christian Advocate.

ing a home for yoGr boys was the elec- trie spark I needed. There are many boys in whom am interested who have no home. They have a place to eat and sleep. for which they pay more than they can afford. Now, think you and I will give them home. You have this house, which is very fortunate. How many boys do you think you are able to cook for and attend to gener- ally, except the washing? Four? 1 do not wish you to overdo, but the boys whom I shall get will be glad to give you $2.50 a week apiece, which will give you ten dollars in all. Should you find it impossible to get fuel with that amount I will help you out, but you will find it ample, l think, for everything, as many families are brought up nicely on ten dollars a week, when rent has to be paid be- sides. This will not leave you much for your own work, but it will supply you with good food, warm home, and, I think, little extra Each boy must give you quarter a week for wash ing, and then you can have some won- an come in and do the washing and ironing for you, and any little odd jobs you may wish done. There are plenty of women who will be glad to come and work for you an entire day for a dollar. What do you think of it?"
 Think of it! Never so long as she lives will Miss Vincent forget the utter abandon of joy with which the woman received her proposition. She went down on her knees. clung to her skirts and cried out that she was an angel. The transition from almost a pauper to one who could work for others, even hire another to help her, was too much for her overwrought nerves, and Miss Vincent feared an attack of hysteria, but she gradually calmed her as she went on with her calculation of items and their probable cost, which would be required to make the experiment a success. "Give them plenty of plain food" she said; Git will be cheaper than keeping them half starved; be- sides, they are going to pay for it, and I wish them to have all the liberties you can give them and still keep with, in proper bounds. Give each of them key, for boys like to be trusted, yet have it understood that you do not wish the house open ordinarily after a certain hour, and I think they will respect your wishes. I know, of course, what boys I shall send you and I shall trust you to make it as homeliRe as possible for them, for they have no homes of their own. l will see that they have good reading matter They are inclined to be little musical and l believe we can so interest them that they will be better men than they would otherwise have been.

The printing office was about six blocks from the palace, one-story building, and cGn- sisted of an editorial room, composing and press rooms. Everything was some thing on the plan of our American ot- fees, although the cases are laid diff ferently, and it took us some time to Americanize the arrangement of the type. Sergt. James Stuart was chosen business manager; Corporal r. G. Guy kendall, editor-in-chief; Private Fred J. McCutcheon, local editor; Sergt. John Barrion, mechanical superintendent; Priyates A.

 With this force we set to work, and for three days and nights-from a. m. until Il p. m.-we pounded away until we had got our paper ready for the press. With precipitation streaming from every pore and bodies racked with symptoms of fever, we stuck to the task, nothing but the hard floor ef the office for bed, no blankets, no nothing The typesetting being finished, we wondered who would turn the press but not man among us had strength enough to give it single revolutlon' While discussing this problem, the TO- cal editor brought in two healthy Cubans, who gallantly offered to ald the 'Americanos,' and in short tune Co.

yates of company F had held a 'coun- cil of war; and laid our plans to the eff feet that we would endeavor to pene- trate the first Cuban city captured by our army, and issue an American news paper, from some Spanish printing of fee, by hook or crook, and from thence forth our hopes and desires were con stantly with us for the accomplishing of this object. For had we not managed to keep together so far, from Michigan to the land of fever and pestilence- southern Cuba.
 "On June 30 it was given out that a general attack was to be made on San tiago and it's defenses. The part as- signed to us was to uncover the enemy at Aguadores, so that our naval fleet could destroy the Spanish Qualifications. Our company was detailed to proceed by train, as we had captured loco- motive and several box cars the day before. We found the enemy too much for us at this time and had to retreat with the loss of two of our brave fel- lows, the result of a Spanish shell strik- ing the train. The next day, however, we drove the Spaniards from their posi- tion, while the main body of the army stormed the trenches in the vicinity of Santiago with the result so familiar to every American. On July the great naval battle was fought, and few days later Santiago and the eastern prov inces of Cuba surrendered to the Amer jean general.
 With the fall of Santiago we were getting anxious to put our newspaper plans into execution, and at a meet ing of the council It was decided to send a courier to Gen. Shafter. who was some miles away, to ask his per mission to enter Santiago to issue an American newspaper. The general was hardly prepared for this new out burst of American enterprise and pa triotism, and at first doubted our sin cerity, but being assured that we meant business we gained his con- sent for three days furlough. We immediately packed up enough ra- tions for the allotted time, and hur- riedly prepared for the journey to the captured city. We had just rolled up our rubber blankets when the toot, toot of an engine was heard, and we hurried to. the railroad track, where we succeeded in boarding a commissary train bound for Santiago. We were given comfortable quarters on the tor of box car, used as a caboose. and made ourselves fast. This came nat ural, as some of us had been there be- fore'-that is part of the printers art The train was too heavy for the en- zine to pull up the heavy grades, and 50 after getting within about three miles of Santiago the train was cut in two, the engine taking the first part on and leaving the other part on the

 "After short time of sightseeing, we proceeded to find printing office, and as we trudged through the streets we were the exposure of all eyes from the natives, as the packs on our backs and our tattered and dusty uniforms gave us the appearance of mendicants, but nevertheless we were treated with cour- tesy, and we bore all the marks of an American soldier-and they invariably command respect. After an hour or so of diligent search, we were in- formed through an English resident that Spanish paper had been recently suppressed, because of its sympathy with the Cuban cause, and its propri- etor, Senor Lopez, could easily be in- teryiewed. We soon found the senor, who offered his whole outfit for $700-
