CoNGENIAL OCCUPATION.
Light and Profitable Employment for
Poor Old Man Who Had
Nothing But Money.

The old stock broker limped EARLY down
the familiar country road ON which Ia boy
hood days he had often driven the cows
homeward to their barn at milking time,
and ever and anon some familiar feature
OF the landscape caught his eye Years ago
bis father had died and LETT the farm to his
brother and himself. Soon firing OF the dull
toll OF a farmers life, he resolved to go TO
the city and seek his fortune
Here his honest face secured him posi-
ton with Wall street firm, the members
Of the hrm assuming that an honest, in
genuous countenance was such rarity in
their line OF business that il might attract
attention and add to their clientele Soon
branching out for himself, he in time be
came one of the largest operators ON the
street. But, caught IN a crash he was pen
nlless, and was now forced 10 seek a home
with his brothers sons, who had prospered
with the farm.
As he reached the familiar gate the young
husbandmen saw HIM, and with yell they
rushed TO meet their uncle
Come right in! You shall not want for
anything" cried Jabe.
The room YOU occupied when a boy is
ready for you. shouted Bijah.
Not a lick of work shall YOU doH chimed
in another of his nephews
Hush, boys said the old stock broker.

share. Never shall it be said that ate OF

OUR DUTIES IN CUBA.
They Are of the Kind That Can
Mean Nothing But the Islands
Annexation.

In spite of every precaution that can
be taken, the Spanish evacuation
would seem almost certain to be at
tended by a somewhat dangerous CON
dition of interregnum in Cuba.
Throughout the greater part of the
island the Spanish authority is still
in active political operation, although
it is now more than two weeks since
Spain signed away all her sovereign
rights there. The government at
Madrid is absolutely without any
means of effective control over the
officials in Cuba who remain clothed
with a little brief authority. Every
populous and civilized portion of the
globe is supposed to pertain to some
responsible power which holds an &C
credited place in the family of ma
tions. Since the signing of the pro-
tocol Spain could not well be held ac-
countable-at least, in more than a
very limited sense-for violations on
Cuban soil Of the rights Of foreigners;
while, on the other hand, the United
States could hardly be expected to adj
nit as yet any full degree of account
ability. Although the protocol does
not specifically make cession of
Cuba to the United States, the logic
of the situation leads TO practically
the same thing. Political sovereignty
must certainly be exercised by some
body in Cuba. SPANS withdrawal
makes IT obligatory upon the United
States to exercise such sovereignty,
and so far as other nations are con
cerned there can be no limited liza
bility" clause in the arrangements.
The Spaniards are going to make Cuba
over to the United States in just as
short a time as the transfer can be
carried out as piece of practical bust
ness. The United States win thereby
have become wholly responsible, so
far as the outside world is concerned,
for the manage ment of Cuban affairs
If. for example, European consul
should be mobbed in a Cuban town,
the United States would be held to
inst as strict an account as if the
outrage had occurred in New York
or Washington In other words, to
be perfectly plain. the protocol means
nothing short of the immediate annex
alton Of Cuba by the United States.
We have already annexed the eastern
most tip of the island by virtue Of
the terms of the Santiago surrender.
Maj. Gen. Lawton, who represents the
United States as governor of the
ceded district, and Gen. Wood, who is
in command of the city Of Santiago,
are exercising sovereign authority IN
the name of the United States in as
complete a manner as Gov. John G.
Brady is exercising it in Alaska. We
must not confuse metaphysics with
facts. So long as the Spaniard re-
NAMED in exercise of Cuban sovereign
ty. be was accountable to the outside
world for Cuban government. The re-
sponsibiEity that he relinquishes we,
perforee, must assume.-Reyiew OF
