At last the woman's edition. was out.
Several columns of delectable literary
matter had been crowded out and as
many heartaches resulted. Mrs. De-
Laney. who had written an article on
"Lunaville's Love Tales" came into the
office with flushed face.
Mrs. Crackle," said she "you took
extreme pains to snub me. Asked me
to write for you and never used it, after
had told all my friends. Mrs. Crackle,
you need never speak another word
to me-"
She did not wait to find out that no
such article had come to the office. But
the day before Christmas, as she went
through her husbands pockets, she
came across a crumpled, dirty paper,
and at the top she read: "Lunaville's
Love Tales" But she was too proud to
make up.
Mrs. Whiler, though refusing to ac-
cept the business management, had
written ten-column piece on "Wom-
ans Spheah." But she never forgave
Mrs. Crackie that it did not all get on
one page. Mrs. DeMur lost half dozen
friends. Mrs. Jejune tried brave,y to
settle all business obligations, but when
bills payable exceeded bills receivable
by $21, and there was no cash on hand,
she resigned, because Mrs. Crackle had
dropped an intimation that some peo-
pie had no business capacity. An as
sessment of SLIGO each on A. B. c. mem
bers balanced accounts, but when. the
club he'd its next meeting only seven
members appeared

more meetings during the winter

The week before the woman's edition
was to appear was n trying one to the
Tripod office. Foreman limmer was a
grutf fellow at best and IS women did
not improve his natural temperament.
They asked all sorts of questions; de-
handed reason for calling p-i pi; asked
if quad and quoin We're not identical
and capped the climax by insisting that
articles for the womans edition be set
in type with frills.
"Mr Limmer," inquired Mrs. Crack!e,
one particularly trying day, would you
mind giving me a print of Mrs. Lofsky's
article on Lunavile's Eligible Young
Men,"
"A print?' snarled Limmer. "What
do you mean? Aproof?"
"Why, yes; of course, proof. What
did l call it? A print? Tee-hee-heel
Please give me a proof, then"

who scercely noticed what he said, so
busy was he.
"Sir!" cried Mrs. Crackle. evil you

and see if he will allow a lady to be in
suited in his Office"
oh, heavens!" unused Limmer, as Mrs.
Crackle disappeared rapidly upstairs

Mrs Crackle proceeded to Mr. Over.

delinquent subscribers.

Good, is it, for woman TO be in

Ovcrjoy sat and laughed. Then he
wrote a note to Mrs. Crackle telling
her in very diplomatic language that
Limmer had reference to the printers

place that sinners flee.
"Mr. Overjoy," said Mrs. Crackle the
following morning as if nothing had
happened, show many words in a col

That broke the ice and the womans

O'Clock Mrs. DeMur came rushing in.

In her excitement Mrs. DeMur had

mer, in desperation, without stopping
to moderate his exclamation to suit
the occasion. "rll be picking your
form off the floor in a minute"
"Sir! Sir!" exclaimed Mrs. DeMur.
"What do you mean, sir? Pick my form
off tblaoor! How dare you make such
personal reference? III tell my hus-

Mrs. DeMur slid out as fast as she
had slid in. Overioy came down and
titteringly told Limmer that he had
explained to Mrs. DeMur that form
in the Tripod office simply meant the
Enclosure that containedth the type. Mrs.
DeMur thereafter held Limmer in sus-
picion.

TROOPS MAKE TROUBLE.
They Fire ON Defenceless Cubans,
Killing Old and Young.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November 10
An incident occurred last night az San
Luis, about twenty-five miles north OF
Santiago, which caused a great deal OF
ill-feelng among the Cubans. and con-
siderable annoyance among the United
States military officials here
All the colored regiments are encamp-
ed In the neighborhood OF San Luis. They
were sent there virtually 10 get them out
of the way, because of the difficulty ex-
perienced liz managing them. The cosoret
officers seem to have little or no controi
over their men, and officers and prfvates
are often seen drinking together.
The trouble began last evening I'm an at
tempt TO arrest two soldiers for abusing
n Cuban workman and stealing his hog.
The outrage was committed on the Nor
mas sugar plantation. Lieutenant jose
Ferera. chief OF General Woods gendarm-
erie, attempted 20 make the arrest Ine
soldiers, who belong 10 the Ninth I'M
munes. escaped. Soon after this the col
| ored men, wearing the uniform or the
| United States army, attacked the house
where Lieutenant Ferera was. and Kept
| ND a regular fusillade, killing Lieutenant
| Ferera and Antonio Roman, an old man,
| Emilio Bettran. a boy OF IL, and baby.
and woundlng several others. Two sol
diers also were killed In the ARRAY.
When the news reached Santiago Gene
raj Wood was at dinner tie immaculate
| ly went to the signal office, where CHER
Slgnal-Oficer Brady took charge OF the
| key. For four hours dispatches were
sent and received The colored officers
| all denied that their men were implicated
in the affair. in spite OF evidence to the
! contrary.
| ALL COLORED REGIMENTS IN
| VOLVED
After an unsatisfactory attempt to get
at the facts Of the case over the wires,
General Wood adjourned his inquiry until
| this morning, when he left on special
train for San Luis. At 3 o'clock General
Wood returned, reporting that after a
long investigation he had come TO the
conclusion that all the colored regiments
were more or less mixed up In the ARRAY.
He has offered s., 900 reward for the names
OF the men who did the shooting. and be-
fore leaving San Luis he read the coiored
officers a severe lecture for denying last
night that their men were Implicated.
Eye-witnesses OF the affair who arrived
here during the course OF the day say that
two gendarmes who were wounded are ex-
pected TO die.

Get q Start
On Catarrh

Those who get a start ON the dis
ease before the cold and Disagree
able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most OBJ
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications Of sprays,
washes, limitations, ETC., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do
