CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Secret nego-
tiations are now actually in progress
between the state department and the
insurgents of Cuba, looking to a stop
page of the war on some financial basis
to be agreed on later. The Tribune
adds that the massing of fleet of war
ships within striking distance is part
of the plan, and that the United States
will have warships in the principal
Cuban ports ready to cooperate with
the insurgents when the time comes
for action.

rible mixtures.

An excellent illustration of Shake
speares oft-quoted good in eyery-
thing" Is afforded by the disposition of
the revenue derived by the French gov
eminent from the tax on betting at
horse-races. The proceeds of the tax
last year exceeded seven and a half
million francs. or more than a million
and half dollars. Among the good
objects to which this money was an
propriated were: Paris charities
seventy-five thousand dollars; proyin-
cial hospitals, three hundred thousand
dollars; institutions making researches
into methods Of curing or preventing
consumption. twenty-five thousand dol
lars; and sixteen thousand dollars for
the erection Of hall for charity meet
ings in Constantinople. 1t Is a pltv
that betting cannot be taxed out of
existence; since that Is not possible
the next best thing Is to make the
gamblers pay for good objects as far
as the money that can be squeezed out
Of them will go.

us out in billiards, transforms and the

Every shot was dismal failure, but he
always had excuses and was just going

two. thirds of them are mad because
nothing ever came of it. I've argued

The jack rabbit is prairie institu.
tion that gives the settlers dogs plenty
Of exercise. When the settler sees a jack
rabbit for the first time-starts him up
suddenly on the prairies-he imagines
that by quick movement he can lay
his hands on him. The rabbit is awk-
ward, appears to be lame in every joint,
holds up one foot as though it panied
him and altogether creates the belief
that he is dilapidated wreck of an un
calmly animate thing. The settler is
surprised that he cannot grab him. The
settlers dog also is confident that he
can quickly make an end of the rabbit
He bristles, runs leisurely toward the
rabbit, doubles his speed, doubles it
again, triples that, quadruples the
whole, when, 10, the rabbit disappears
There is some flying grass, a vanishing
streak Of light, a twinkling of two
prodded feet extended rearward, and he
is gone. The dog sits on his launches
and concludes that it was dream and
that he did not see a rabbit at ALL

Latter Loses Home and Daughter ia

Latter Loses Home and Daughter to
an Objectionable SuitOr.
But for an injunction issued by a JUS
tice of the peace at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
Wilhelmina Pilsener would now be the
bride of septuagenarian; Jacob
Schatz, a favored suitor, would be
pining in sorrow, and Michael Pilsener,
the girls father, would be the happy
possessor of an unincumbered home.
As it turned out, Schatz has the girl for
his wife and owns his father-in-law's
home, while the latter sits on the wood
pile and cogitates on the question Of
kritocracy.
Schatz wanted to marry Wilhelmina,
and the latter was willing, but Papa
Pilsener objected, and determined to
marry his daughter to Herman Wagner,
a reighbor, 70 years of age, who for
the fair Wilhelmipa's hand agreed to
bestow 5000 on Pilsener with which to
lift the mortgage on his house. Wag-
ner's seven children, four of whom are
married, apparently gave their consent
to their fathers marriage, but beneath
calm exterior they planned to cheat
Cupid of conquest.
The day was set for the wedding.
The minister was preparing to say the
words which would wed December with
May, when constable appeared on the
scene with worthless injunction from
a justice of the peace in neighboring
town. Schatz, who had been supplied
by Wagner's children with the neces-
sary 5000 to give to Papa Pilsener tc
hquidate the mortgage on the home,
procured marriage license, met Will
helmina, and they were married.
Then Jacob bethought himself of
plan to revenge himself on his father
in-law. Instead of giving the latter the
5000, as intended, he bought up the
mortgage himself and foreclosed it.
Thus he came into legal posses
sion of Pilsener's home and daughter,
while Wagner is minus bride, and his
seven children are rejoicing in the fact
that no young mother-in-law has come
to rule over their home.

ALWAYS SOME ONE BELOW.

On the lowest round of the ladder
I firmly planted my feet,
And looked up in the dim, vast distance
That made my future so sweet.
/ climbed till my vision grew weary.
1 climbed till my brain was on fire.
! planted each footstep with wisdom,
Yet never seemed to get higher.
For this round was glazed with indifrer-
ence
And that one was glazed with scorn.
And when l grasped firmly another
l found under velvet q thorn.
Till my brain grew weary Of planning.
And my heart strength began to fail,
And the flush of the mornings excitement
Ere evening commemorate pale.
But Just as my hands were unclasping
Their hold on the last-ganed ground,
When my hopes, coming back from the fu-
ture,
Were sinking again In the ground.
One who had climbed near the summit
Reached backward a helping hand,
And refreshed, encouraged and strength
ened,
took once again my stand.
And I wish-oh. wish--that the climbers
Would never forget as they go
That, though weary may seem their climb
ing,
There is always some one below.

REGULATE MIXED MARRIAGES.


Catholic Laymen to Appeal to MEr.
Mnrtinelli for "a Ruling.
Catholic laymen of the United States
are about to present to Mgr. Mar
tinelli petition urging him to issue
a pronunciamento regulating the mar
riages of Catholics to Protestants, says
the Washington correspondent of the
New York journal and Advertiser.
The preliminary papers of this petit
tion have already arrived in New York
city and are in the hands of a committee
awaiting the approval of certain bish-
ops before being placed in the hands of
the delegate.
The petitioners desire that Mgr.
Martinelli make universal rules re-
garding the conditions on which the
Catholic church will permit one Of it's
members to marry non-Catholic, and
also the nature of the ceremonies with
which such a marriage may be attended.
The Catholic laity has long contem-
plated this step, but the present action
has been hastened by Archbishop Kahn,
of St. Louis. He recently arrived from
Rome. bringing with him what he says
is a papal brief regulating the laws of
matrimony in the Metropolitan see Of
st. Louis. Mgr. Kain was last fall suAn-
moned to appear before the propaganda
and explain the dissatisfaction among
his people concerning his ruling re-
garding what are called in church par
lance ''mixed marriages" He had is
sued a mandate making Catholic alli-
ances with Protestants so difficult as
to be almost impossible. They had to
be celebrated in the pastorate of the
parish church and must not be accom-
panied by any elaborate display.
The officiating clergyman was always
forbidden to attend any reception fol-
lowing such ceremonies. The people
of st. Louis rebelled against the re-
strictions and appealed to the apostolic
delegate.
Archbishop Kahn will shortly issue a
Lenten pastoral in which he will an
nounce the rules henceforth to be OBJ
served under his Jurisdiction. If Arch
bishop Kain is vested with such au-
thority Catholic laymen are anxious
that every diocese in the United States
be provided with specific rules.

Pay Of Old Time Architects.

As near as we can discover the archi.
tect of "ye olden tyne" did not receive
for his services very exorbitant sum.
Recently some members Of the French
school at Delphi unearthed several slabs
Of marble which bear inscriptions of
great interest, dating as they do from
the fourth century before Christ. The
inscriptions, which cover about 200
lines, give the price of work for build
ing operations in Greece at the period
named, and from them we learn that an
architect was paid at the rate of $3.50
per annum or less. This was little
enough surely, even If it's purchasing
power is multiplied, as 1t should be,
five or six times. Sir Christopher Wren
received for his services the magnificent
sum Of 81, 900 per year for more than 20
years while rebuilding London. His
head craftsman received about $500 per
year, while assistants received from
$50 to $125 per year. French and Ger
man architects were not even so we'll
paid at the same period. Bad as this
was, it was better than the remunera-
tion many of the older architects re-
oeived, for in the far east if an artist
made a noble design and erected build
ing worthy Of admiration his chances Of
being suddenly removed" by order Of
the king were many. This step was
taken in order to prevent rival king
from obtaining the services of an archi-
tect who might be able to SO improve
his plans that finer and nobler build.

A curious fact is the tobacco plant g
habit of erecting its leaves at sundown
and dropping them at sunrise. OF course
it is only possible while the plant is
immature-while the upper leaves are
not more than two-thirds developed
but it is SO marked as to make a wide
difference in the looks of a field at
evening and l2 hours later. And the re-
suits are SO benefcent as to make it
seem the result Of reason, for if the dew
fall is heavy it all runs down to the
stalk, trickles down to the root and
thus fortifies it against the blazing sun,
while if the leaves remained in pendu-
lous spread the moisture would either
drop from their points beyond reach or
else evaporate in the morning SUM-

FEAR BAPTISM OF WATER
Seamen Say the Kentucky Will Be
Thought an Unlucky Ship.
Proposal Of Miss Bradley to Use
Crystal Water Instead of Spark
ling Champagne Causes Com
sternation in Navy.

Officers of the navy on duty at Wash
tngton are very much perturbed over
Miss Bradley's announcement that she
will use water in christening the battle
ship Kentucky, and express considera-
BILE worry over the practical effect Of
such departure from precedent.
''The intention of Gov. Bradley's
daughter may not strike landsmen as
anything more than a good joke ON a
state that has always been represented
rs hard-drinking community" said
one officer to-day, "but it may result
badly for the navy. Not man in the
service will feel ray of comfort in
sailing in ship that has been baptized
in water. AS for myself, think no sail
or with good red blood i'm his veins can
approve of any such disregard of the
conventional method.
mark my word, if water is used in
the ceremony, the Kentucky will be an
unlucky boat, or known as an unlucky
boat, which is much the same thing.
She'll be regular Friday boat in the
mind of every sailorman. She may not
come to any grief, but she will have
a half-hearted crew. The crew should
take pride in their ship. They will go
into action in the Kentucky, If war
should come in her time, just like a
man with a cracked gun or broken
sword.
This thing of baptizing ships with
wine has significance that is only un-
derstood by the men who follow the
sea. The custom comes from the old
Vikings, who dashed cup of wine over
the bows of the stanch boats i'm which
they traversed the ocean. People may
say it is indecent to use wine in the
ceremony of baptizing ship. For my
part, believe 1t more sacrilegious to
use water. I need not explain why.
The Kentucky will be the home of her
crew, and I tell you the interests of
the service demand she shall go into
the water in the good old way"
