United States Guarantees Money to
PAY the Cuhan Army

United States Guarantees Money to
Pay the Cuban Army.
Havana, Nov. 19-The American and
Spanish commissioners exchanged
signed documents in accordance with
agreements arrived at in the joint ses-
sion. This virtually closes aggressive
work by the Americans, as all that
remains for them is to see that the
evacuation proceeds as arranged. Gen.
Wade, Admiral Sampson and Gen.
Butler are delighted at the prospects
of an early return to their homes. as
at one time they feared that they
would be compelled to spend the entire
winter in Havana. Everything points
to the almost immediate occupation of
the island by the American troops.
Gen. Garcia, with the other members
of the Santa Cruz commission, Gen.
Sanguilly excepted, have sailed for
New York.
The Cuban army will receive one
years pay on Dec. 10. Notes for the
balance due will be issued and the
troops will then be disbanded. From
what source the money will come 1
cannot learn, but that the United
States has guaranteed the loan is al
most certain.

these reports Col. Ray went to Calm

ter. There he saw Capt. Norman and
the officers Of the ship, who positively
denied knowing anything regarding
the cannon. Col. Ray, however, said
he had obtained his information from
reliable source, the British consul
being his informant, llareupon Capt.
Norman admitted taking the guns, and
said he took them for the secretary of

Session at New York
Washington, Nov. 19.-The war in
vestigating commission adjourned at
4 O'clock yesterday to meet at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York at 10
o'clock to-day, and Gen. Dodge asked
the Associated Press to request wit
nesses who have matters to bring to
the attention of the board to report at
hat point. He said in the same con-
nection that letters had been received
from about 100 persons in the vicinity
of New York, but said he did not know
whether all these would appear as
witnesses. After concluding the work
in New York the commission will pro-
coed to Boston and. returning, will
stop at Philadelphia to make certain
inquiries there. 1t is also expected
that a number of witnesses will be
called after the return to Washington,
and it the commission does not go to
Cuba some persons there will be asked
to come here. Col. Dandy will remain
in Washington while the other men,
bers Of the commission are absent and
will take the testimony Of such per-
sons as may ask to be heard.

morse came swiftly around the corner.
She had no time to be frightened, how
ever, for the next moment her hand
was seized and she was pulled back to
the pavement.
1t was little Annie Ridley, who had
seen the accident, and ran back to help
her.

She was darting away when Ruth
caught her hand.
You thought you could not do any,

"That was nothing" said Annie, and
hurried away.
OF course when Ruth got home she
told her mother all about Annie, and
you may be sure Annie had splendid
thanksgiving dinner that year, for
Ruth's mother was so grateful to the
little girl that she felt as though she
could not do enough for her.
The next time Annie Ridley came to

ANOTHER SCRAP AT pANA.

NOn-Union Colored Miners md
White Strikers Exchange Shots.
Pana, ILL.,, Nov. 19.-Non-union col
ored miners and white strikers
clashed in the streets of this city
again. Several hundred shots were
fired but the combatants did their
shooting from behind trees and
hedges, consequently no blood was
spilled. The trouble is said to have
been started by an unknown negro
firing upon Wesley Pope, a striker.
Pope. says he was walking near the
Springsdale colliery, where the ne
groes are CHARTERED, when he was
fired upon. He secured rifle and re-
Inducements. Meantime the negroes
appeared in force and the shooting be-
came general. After several hundred
shots had been exchanged the negroes
retreated to their stockade. No dam
age was done.

school," replied the little one, and
crossing the space between the benches
she said to Annie:
please may sit here?"
"You may If you want to-" replied
Annie, rather Grossly.
All the scholars looked at each other
and smiled. Her sister blushed.
"She is so SMALL" she said to her
neighbor.
Then the teacher entered, and Annie
and Ruth were forgotten.
When the scholars stood up to sing.
Ruth offered one side of her hymn
book to Annie, who took hold of the
cover with the tip end of her fingers
and sang from it.
How nice you sing" whispered
Ruth. 81 wish 1 could sing So"
Annie smiled.
"You are too little yet" she said,
and moved closer. Then when the
singing was over she added: "You are
the incest girl in the school.
But Ruth did not answer, for just
then a gentleman began to speak, and
she knew that she must pay attention.
So she listened and he told them the
stories of Thanksgiving day and ended
by saying: mo one is too poor or too
small to be of use.'
"He don't know everybody" whis-
pered Annie. "He don't know US"
Then she added suddenly: "Say, what
is Thanksgiving for, anyhow"
Mamma said that long ago, when
the people first came to America to
live, they were so glad when the grain
and pumpkins and potatoes were put
away safe in the barn for the winter
that they appointed one day to go to
church and give thanks"
"Oh," said Annie, "but suppose they
had no barn and no pumpkins and
things. Then what?"
1--WE have no barn." replied Ruth,
'but mamma buys the pumpkin and
turkey at the store.'
"My mother never does," said An
ME.
"Why?" asked Ruth.
Because she can't" answered An
ME.
Don't you have any Thanksgiving
dinner then?" asked Ruth.
Annie shook her head.
'No," she said, 1--WE don't often have
bread enough, so you see could not
do anything for any one if wanted to
ever so much"
"And 1 am afraid I'm too little"
said Ruth, thoughtfully.
Just then the collection plate was
passed before them. Ruth had two
five-cent pieces in her hand, but when
she saw that her new friend had moth
ing to give she laid one of the coins on
her lap.
Annie turned red, but she gave Ruth
a shy smile and placed the money on

The old-style Pumpkin Pie.


Some like fancy custard pie,
Or apple, mince or game,
Or some new-fangled article,
I low, just for the name.
I amt so p'tic'lar's some know,
And different from the rest,
But the good old-fashioned pumpkin
pies
Are what love the best.
I'm hankerin' for a piece, right now,
OF the pie that mother made,
When I came home from school I'd
get
A hunk and in I'd wade.
And, (p'r'aps my mouth is somewhat
large),
Though I'd resort to tears,
She wouldn't give me another piece
Because it mussed my ears.
I've fingered here lifetime since,
Put up with what got,
But oft in dreams I'm back again
To that old familiar spot.
And then, at such times, can find,
On the butt'ry shelf arrayed,
"A row of good old pumpkin pies,
The kind that mother made.

Thanksgiving.
What time the latest flower hath
bloomed,
The latest bird hath southwark
flown;
When silence weaves DER garnered
sheaves
Sweet idyls Of our northern zone;
When scattered children rest beside
The hearth, and hold the mothers
hand,
Then rolls Thanksgiving ample tide
Of fervent praise across the land.
And though the autumn stiffness
broods
Where spring was glad with song
and stir,
Though summers grace leaves little
trace
On fields that smiled at sight of her,
Still glows the sunsets altar fire
With crimson flame and heart of
gold,
And faith uplifts, with strong desire
And deep content, the hymns of old.
We bless our God for wondrous wealth,
Through the bright benignant year.
For shower and rain, for ripened
grain;
For gift and guerdon, far and near.
We bless the ceaseless Providence
That watched us through the peace
full days,
That led US home, or brought US hence
And kept US In our various ways.
And if the hand so much that gave
Hath something taken from our
store,
If caught from sight. to heavens pure
light,
Some precious ones are here no
more,
We still adore the Friend above,
Who, while earth's road grows steep
and dim,
Yet comforts us in tender love.
And holds our darlings close to Him
Thanks, then, o God: From sea TO-
Let every wind the anthem bear!
And hearts be rife through toll and
strife,
With joyful praise and grateful pray
err,
Our fathers God, their children sing
The grace they sought through storm
and sun;
Our harvest tribute here we bring,
And end it with, "Thy will be DONE"
