1t is expected it will arrive at Santiago

1t is expected it will arrive at Santiago
by Thursday,
Thus it seems reasonable to predict
that the present week will see the
American flag flying over Santiago de
Cuba.
The army now on its way to Santa
go comprises the best troops modified
in the South. 1t is equipped and fitted
better than any body of troops the
United States has ever sent into the
field Our infantry is furnished near
ly exclusively with the Krag-J orgenson
rifle, which is considered by ordnance
experts the most destructive rifle now
in use.
The insurgents, who are expected to
form a junction with the American
troops at the place of landing, have
been armed by the United States with
modern Springfield rifles.
The army has an abundance of am
munition to carry it ON long and diff
cult campaign.

The congregation by a vote decided 1t
was best
That it and Deacon Homlly should take
summer rest;
So at the country Westinghouse they
locked the entrance door,
And shut the windows close and tight for
bout two months or more.
The deacon was a preacher that with
muscle did expound
And for gestures animated through the
country was renowned;
His JUNCTION and his earnestness, when
warmed up with his theme,
Some slumbering member oft aroused
from out a pleasant dream.
Down on the pulpit he would bring his
fist with mighty stroke,
And like the wind through forests was
his voice when he spoke;
And with both feet in number twelves
he'd stamp upon the floor,
And rant and pitch and shake the house
from pulpit to the door.
But while the deacon and his flock en-
joyed their summer rest
Newcomers took possession of the house
and sacred desk
They built a nest right under where the
deacon kept the book,
And undisturbed they reared brood
within the sheltered nook
Vacation past. the deacon came with Wig
or to renew
The fight with Satan and the world-and
full was every pew;
His theme was love within the heart
and just to drive 1t home
He pounded hard upon the desk, and on
the sacred tome.
Electrified his hearers were, he reused
the hornets, too,
And they began to crawl and buzz with
this experience new;
They took as gage of battle there the
deacon's gestures wild.
And up his pants in numbers now the
angry insects filed.
He stood it for a moment more till they
began to sting
And then he gave his legs and arms q
mighty, awful fling,
And shouted to explain the cause of all
his extra rants
1.-THE love of God is In my heart-but hi
fires in my pants"

In 1888 my wife went East and was
attacked with rheumatism. She re-
ceived no relief until she tried Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. Since that time
we have never been without it. We
find it gives instant relief in cases of
burns and scalds and is never failing
for all rheumatic and neuralgia pains.

HOME RESPONSIBILITIES
The Foundations of the Family Altar
should he BASED Upon
Truth.

In their consuming desire to find rea-
sons for things, the sons and daughters
of men often go far aheld, and place at
innocent doors responsibilities that
properly belong elsewhere.
Whatever men and women go about
seeking, there IS nothing for which they
search with more untiring assiduity
than pretexts for bad temper, bad hab-
its and bad morals. Instead Of coming
out frankly, fairly and squarely, and
acknowledging that they did all Of
these things simply because their ma
tures prompted them so 10 do, they
claim that they renlly didn't mean to,
but were influenced either by some
body or something entirely beyond
their control, or else they fall back on
that convenient excuse, heredity, and
blame their fathers, grandfathers and
a long line Of ancestors generally, for
something that they are too bad or too
indolent TO correct. If the foundations
OF the family altar are builded on pure
and undefled truth and sincerity, the
superstructure must of necessity par
take to an extent, at least, of the same
characteristics in order TO be at all SYM
metrical. The slightest departure from
truth should be gently but firmly re-
buked, and all Influences that tend to-
ward vitiating the moral atmosphere
of the dwelling should be punished

detail by Sagasta liIlles, ct AL, in or
der to screen the thing with The cloak
OF compromise and hide the fact that
IL is a downright surrender and no

The maneuverlng began between the
Unions and Regulars. in an effort TO
gain advantage in calling the primary
election. Under the law a day must
be chosen and notices filed with the
sheriff and Department of Elections OF
the date chosen. Flrst IL Is plain that
the Unions and Regulars would each
endeavor to poll as many votes at the
primary as possible in order to make
it appear which had the greater num-
Der OF adherents. And The party hold
ing the first primary would be able TO
gather in all that unthinking mass OF
voters which are ready to respond to
the first call. The Regulars made the
first move and chose August p and
filed their legal notices accordingly
with the sheriff and Department Of
Elections. The Unions Immediately
took their trick by choosing August 26.
and filed the necessary notices 40
This Stage of the game the Regulars
were fiat on their backs. for under the
law governing primaries no man can
vote unless me is registered, and the
party holding the primary must have
the registration books in order TO de-
termine who are entitled to vote; and
such party is entltled to keep said
Under This arrangement the

Unions had made it impcs-
Sible for the Regulars to hold any pri-
mary election, because they could not
set the books of registration. Up to
this stage the Regulars bad on plenty

They began TO wash it off and talk CT

Washington belonged TO the party OF
