Cuban soil. He said that he sent the
money as the nucleus for fund, for he
thought such patriotic action should be
we'll rewarded.
While the Winslow, the Wilmington

Some swords we're also sticking there,
And at her belt small rifles crossed.

Her smelling bottle wee canteen,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Bicycles are all the rage. Even coun-
try kids affect the innovation and aspire
to become scorchers. This is an age of
VIII eels. Wheels every where. Boys
keep your fingers out Of your ears lest
you get them caught in the cogs.
Wick Sbick was sadly disappointed on
Independence day. 1t was bis intention
to contest for the prize in the sack race,
but owing to the fact that he was unable
to procure a wool sack for love or money
he lost the prize.
The Oaleionian meeting was quite
interesting. The bagpipes attracted
considerable attention. We are inclined
to think distance lends enchantment to
the music Of bagpipes. Had the day
been favorable doubtless there would
have been more bagpipes in evidence.
We are glad it rained--it was needed.
Jerry Stone attended the Caledonian
picnic. So absorbed was he in observ-
