To presume it to be correct that the
Emperor William said the United states
should not possess Cuba so long as he
was on the throne of Germany. It is nee
essary TO suppose that the Emperor
knows nothing about American politics.
There has been no movement in this coun-
try looking TO the acquisition of Cuba
no person in position of prominence in
our government has said a word about any
purpose of the United States to annex
Cuba. The United States do not want
Cuba, and the Cubans do not want an
nexation. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
the German Emperor, who is a generally
well Informed man. knows all of this quite
as well as anybody else

Poor Mr.. President Mckinley! Not even
on Sundays is he permitted to rest from
the gratuitous advice of his too solicitous
friends with regard to how he should run
the country. Not even the church affords
him sanctuary from the Drattling of the
know-it-alls. He has his duty fired at him
from the pulpit, as well as dinned into his
ears by those who call upon him. The Presi-
dent probably longs to hear once more the
sermon of a pastor who will preach
Christ and Him crucifed," and not the sill
yer question, and the ENHANCEMENT with
Spain, and prosperity, and politics gen
orally.

CURED in New York state a few days ago.
An old colored woman owned a large and
faithful Newfoundland dog. The old wo-

in her house. She shrieked for help. Some
Of her neighbors ran to her assistance, but
in the doorway they encountered the dog.
He would not permit them to pass. He
could not be driven away with sticks and
stones. He fought every one who attempt
ed to enter. with the result that the old
woman was burned to death.

Laughed Away the Embarrassment

Tommy was all excitement because the
visiting lecturer was to take dinner at the
house, but had promised to be on his best
behavior during the meals, says the De-
troit Free Press. This determination to
be polite was so strong upon him that
he felt it incumbent to show his good will.
Where is Mrs. Lecturer?' Tommy ask
ed explosively, in pursuance of his con-
scientious promptings, This was the most
embarrassing question that could have
been propounded, for the guest and his
wife had separated. He pretended not to
hear, while the host kicked Tommy on
the shins. He realized that he Numbered
and felt that he must make amends
IT hope she's not sick" persisted the
urchin.
1--WE did not agree and we thought it
best TO live apart" said the visitor, with
a view of ending the unpleasantness.
Didn't agree?" exclaimed Tommy, ex-
citedIy. "ThunderI Why didn't you fight
it out like paw and nav does?"
This opened the way for hearty laugh,
and the atmosphere was cleared.

Having effected a reduction of wages all
along the line, the cotton manufacturers
now talk of the necessity of a general cur
