What Bothered Him.

"When I was young man, 3" says a
we'll known civil engineer. 81 was sur
veying the route CT a proposed railway.
An old farmer with whom I stopped for
time admitted one day, when he saw
me figuring in the field, that mathemat-
les always seemed wonderful thing to
him. Being young and enthusiastic, !
began to enlarge it's wonders, telling
him how we could measure the dis
tances to different planets, and even
weigh them; how we could ascertain
the height Of mountains without scaling
them and many other things which
meant should astonish him.
"You can imagine how he set me
back when he replied to this brilliant
array of facts by saying: Yes, yes, them
things does seem kinder Gurus, but
what allus bothered me was to under,

ioyable, as the heat during that period
is never excessive. Unless in the upland
regions the summer season is extremely
enervating owing to the intense heat
and the unhealthy steaming miasma
caused by the incessant rains. In some
portions of the forests unwholesome
malarial vapors arise from the rank
vegetable strata, and the lagocns and
marshes are sometimes hidden for days
by dense, deadly, white pail of fog,
But Notwithstanding these disagree
able features it would be quite possible
to enjoy good health in Cuba. Much of
the disease which prevails there is pre-
ventable and would disappear or at
least be greatly mitigated were the IN
habitants to pay proper regard to the
laws of health The people of Cuba
Spaniards included, are not cleanly and
seem to regard batbtub with horror.

Death of Heman Whipple.

Heman Whipple of Solon, was instant
ly killed by being knocked from trestle
by a Canadian Pacific train at his lumber
camps near Jackman, Tuesday. The ac-
cident happened near little station
known as Mackamp. The engineer did
not see the unfortunate man until the
train rounded curve but few rods
away and too late to prevent striking
him. His body WAS taken to Solon.
Mr.. Whipple was one of the best
known men In the county and his sad
death will be a matter of regret to
hundreds of his friends and aequaint-
ances. He was a man whose word was
as much respected as his bond. He has
been engaged in numbering all his life
and left home several years before he
reached the age of Il, paying his father
for his time. He once said that the debt
then contracted was one that did him a
great deal OF good and taught him a
valuable lesson. 1t was paid promptly
as agreed and entering the employ of the
Coburns, he soon became one of their
trusted agents in the carrying on of their
lumber business. During the years that
he looked after their interests they had
none other more faithful or In whom
they placed more implicit confidence.
Prudent, saving, untiring in his efforts
and very industrious he gathered
fortune variously estimated and by some
placed as high as $4,000. Simple in his
tastes and mode of living, his expenses
were small, yet he was one of the most
sympathetic men possible to meet.
Strangers or friends were always sure of
warm welcome at his home. He was
II years old last January and has been
engaged for the past few weeks looking
after the Moose River drive for the 5sth
consecutive year.
Mr.. Whipple leaves widow, son
Lewis, who is in charge of the office of
the Moosehead Co., and one daughter,
the wife of DR.. S. F. Greene Of Solon.
