PORTO RICO.
The Island Will Follow Cuba
 in Freedom.
ISt. Louis Democrat 1

ISt. Louis Democrat
 With Cuba goes Porto Rico. In the talk of Cuba and Cuban independence, men ton of Spain's other possession is seldom heard. In the councils of the revolutionists the ueighboring island is not forgotten. When the Cuban re- public is recognized and the Spanish army withdraws, the soldiers of fortune who have been making the cause of Cuba their own have no idea of settling down immediately to the pursuits of peace. They expect to transfer the scene of wal to the Island of Porto Rico. The destiny of Porto Rico is that of a part of the republic of Cuba. The ls- land is little less than forty miles wide, and is about 108 miles long. The principal city has a population of 24, ,000. Like Cuba, Porto Rico has high hills or mountains in the interior. The popu- lation is about 800 900, half that of Cuba. If the new government of the republic shall adhere to the resent subdivision of the six provinces into as many states, Porto Rico may be considered large enough for two or three states. Porto Rico is almost as productive as Cuba. It's foreign trade had reached nearly $50. .OO0, 900 when the war in the neigh boring island disturbed conditions. There will be revolution in Porto Rico within a week after Spain evacuates Cuho

It has been, rumOred that in several of tine cities of this territory members of the Arizona militia sent in their res. ignatlon as soon as it became definite that their services would be in demand. While thls may be true in exceptional cases, we believe the boys are all eager to stand by their colors, and should - their services be demanded would enter into the conflict with the spirit and zeal which has always distinguished the true American. The report was most likely started by some of the blow hards and know it-alls, who if called upon to fight would collapse like a toy balloon which had been pricked with a pin.-Nogales Oasis.

MIR. Carl Larson's residence,
of Bayou Chene, this parish, was
destroyed by fire last Sunday, the
loss amounts to 500. No insurance.
Mrs. John J. Kelso was in town
this week for the purpose of re-
moving the remains of her son
Ramsey, who died here six years
ago, to Morgan City, where his
sister Miss Matte Kelso WAS bu-
ried last week.
AT this time, due to the con-
tinuous rains and lack of drainage.
all the public roads leading to st.
Martinville are almost impossible.
And, upon inquiries, we learn that
drainage is almost impossible, for
the reason that most of the cou-
lees, and other natural drains are
stopped by private individuals in
some places, and in others, having
been neglected for years, the
growth of weeds and brushes have
filled them up entirely interfering
with the drainage. The parish
should inaugurate the cleaning of
all natural drain and building ca
nails wherever needed, and for this
purpose a small dredge boat would
be necessary. We believe the mat
ter is of such great Importance as
to require some investigation on
the part of the police jury; and
when we have a good system of
drainage, it will be possible to
have good roads with reasonable
expenditures.

was good then, but it would al
most be necessity, and the Town
authorities would do we'll to look
into the matter, because if a fire
was to start in any part of town, it
would be almost impossible to
drag the heavy engine upon our

X. Schwartz desires to call the
particular attention of the ladies
to his complete stock of GLOVES,
which he will take pleasure in

We understand that the ques-
ton of electric light will soon be
brought to the attention of the
Town Council, and their erection
will probably necessitate the issu-
ance of bonds, which will have to
be voted for by the tax payers.
We would suggest that if we 60
into that business that the Water
works be included in the deal. If
we issue bonds let us get Water
works combined with the electric
lights, we need both, and we ought
to get them if they are within our
possible reach.

MR.. GRATEBAR TO PHILIP.
He Reminds Him That Things Afs NOV
Automatic, and Su9gssts How
to Make Them Co.

at cannot too strongly impress upon
you, Philip" said Mr.. Gratebar, accord
ing to the New York Sun. "the fact that
things in general are not automatic;
that is, they will not do themselves;
and the longer you put of the attack
upon them the harder they are to
tackle. Don't put things of, Philip.
To things that require deliberation you
will give sufficient thought; but, as to
the run of things that come up. acquire
the habit of disposing of them as they
come along; you will find it great help
in many ways. Don't cord 'em up.
Philip; the first thing you know you
will have more stacked up than you can
saw. and then, too, the pile is liable to
fall on you-at any time and hurt you.
1.-TWO things to remember, Philip:
First, things are not automatic. Sec
ond, the time to attend to things is new.
II may have mentioned these things
to you before, Philip, think very like
~, in my strong desire to get you
started right in the race Of life; but
youth, impressionable as it is in many
ways, seems least susceptible to good
advice. which indeed it appears to shed
much as a duck does water. And so
mention these things again to you,
Philip, with the hope that II my previous
remarks met that fate these will find

ON A TOMBSTONE.
The Queer Inscription Erected over
the Grave Of q "L0nG.
Boot" Man.

"The uueerest tombstone ever eaw
was in Hays City" said man who has
known Kansas for good many years,
and during the times when the short
grass sections were, as easterners say.
''wild and woolly," lived in Hays City,
says the Topeka State Journal.
"It was years ago, when Boot Hiu,'
the cemetery where men who fell with
their boots ON were buried, was in the
height of it's glory and was growing
rapidly. Well, to make long story
short, one of the wearers of long boots,
revolvers and bowie knives was killed
one day, and as in all such cases he was
promptly buried. As soon as the cor
oner gave as the reason he was killed
that he was careless and did not have
his weapons on he was carried hight
out to Boot Hill and buried.
"'Where is the tombstone? He ought
to have something said one of the
party. All the boards that were kept
for such use had been used, SO a mem
Der of the party rustied around and
came across railroad signboard about
two inches thick that had the corners
cut off and looked much like head
board. 1t was painted white and seemed
to be just the thing. The name OF the
owner of that eix feet of earth was
painted on the board and it was set up.
and not till then was it noticed that
there was something on the other side.
There it was, in big black letters that
could be read for quarter Of . mile:

PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY.
The Pleasant Way In Whfcn tH~
Sentiment IL Taught the
Youth In School.

In Germany they teach patriotism IN
the popular schools; in England we do
hot-at any rate, not officially, says tine
Pail Mall Gazette. In Germany the
kaiser's birthday, the anniversary OF
Sedan, and other national landmarks
are celebrated in the national schools.
They have feasts and music and e1c1rr-
sions; but the children have kept clear
" before their eyes the reason for their
reioicings. Indeed, the Law impresses
upon parents and children that all vol
uutary absence from these school feasts
is an offense. There were parents who
kept their children back, especially
from the Sedan commemoration, and
this on consci entious grounds. But now
NO longer; "for," says the magistrate,
"any unexcused absence from patriotic
festivals established by the school shall
be considered as voluntary non-attessd-
ance, and inspectors, teachers and tho
authorities concerned are hereby in
structed to this effect"
Patriotism la pedagogue, perhaps,
but patriotism none the less; and the
children of great empire might per-
haps do we'll to take a leaf out OF a book
made in Germany. Let US imagine the
astonishment of the English child ii ne
were told that he was to have holiday
and fete for the sake OF some great
event in our own history. But Germany
has these patriotic school feasts, and
France the emblem Of the republic in
every schoolroom, because they actual

CHILDHOOD LOVERS UNITED.
An Interestin9 Romance which De
gan In Muncies Ind, aAA
Ended I'm Hawaii.

An interesting romance, which be-
gan in Muncie, Ind. and ended in Homo
lulu, has just been told to the brides
relatives in the Indiana town. Twenty
years ago Miss Allie Smell, eldest daugh-
ter of DR.. S. Smell, now deceased. and
George w. R. King were schoolmates
and lovers. They agreed to get mar
ried when both reached certain age,
but the young mans parents moved
from Muncie and finally landed In
Honolulu, where they have since re-
sided. Miss Smell was later married to
Thomas Connor and for many years the
couple have lived happily together.
They moved to San Francisco three
years ago, and year ago were divorced,
after she had learned the place OF resi-
dence of her schoolmate lover and the
fact that he was yet unmarried. Soon
after the divorce the lady met her child
hoods lover and a wedding was ar
ranged for upon the arrival OF Mrs. Con-
nor in Honolulu.
The lady is the possessor OF large
properties, mostly located in Muncie,
and her new husband is a rich man.
