way the war department is evading givins
bi direct answers 10 direct questions. he
has several times queried the department in

Regiment with linen suits. and has asked
whether the government will reimburse tho

answer he has 80 far received Is that linen
suits will he furnished TO such tr, ops as are

staff's Gadshill force was an ornamental
corps compared TO Galixto Garcin's
army. Ragged, dirty, long haired--you
never saw such an army. There was one
favorable sign. visible--the guns they
had were In excellent order and service
able We began to issue new clothing
and arms where they were needed, and
the men were formed into regiments of
500, rank and file, so men to COM
pany. Some care was taken TO select the
best men for line officers, and General
Garcia recommended the field officers,
and his suggestions were followed.
"You would never know the clean,
alert, ready man of today, who brings
his piece up smartly to the salute as I
pass, as the ragged, half starved, wholly
dirty refugee who conducted the SO
called army under Garcia. They wear
their uniforms well. Their head cover
ing is the native hat, called panama
in our country. Their Remington and
Springfield rifles are in excellent order.
The men shoot better than any people
of Spanish blood / have ever seen. They
are well drilled for their opportunities.
1.-THE colonels and captains have their
men we'll in hand. The chief lack is in
we'll trained noncommissioned officers,
but this fault grows less every day, The
Cubans are very apt, and they attend
our guard mounts and the lesser cere-
monial part of the service Inotice they
then do their own guard mount much
better the next time"
These wero the men whom Garcia
boldly launched at tho trained Spanish
columns near Playa del Este on Wednes-
day, June 20. In both Cuba's wars"
that was the first time an 'insurgent
column, divided into regiments and
subdivided into companies, had ever
boldly met the Spaniards in the open
such as il was---and did not run away
after tho first volley. On the contrary,
they held the field and the Spanierd
ran. Army officers agree that this sue
cess was great moral advanced step Of

said civil war veteran, land any fire
is likely to be more or less a gathering
point but I suppose that the fire to
which the name Of campfire properly
belongs, the campfire Of song and story,
is the cooks fire at the end Of the com-
pany street, built on the ground, under
pole supported ct the ends by crotched
sticks driven In the earth and from
which tho camp kettles are suspended.
This was the gathering point Of the
company.
"Men did not always stand about the
campfire. It depended upon circum-
stances and ON the weather. They met
here, of course, mt mealtimes, and
there were times when men would stand
around the fire and smoke and talk.
And then It might be that the men
would keep their tents, playing cards,
or smoking there, or mcnding their
clothes, or polishing up their accouter-
ments. So that there were times when
the fire was quite deserted, OF when
perhaps there might be seen there SOL

Immediately sailed off in the direction
of the hennery at swift rate. The
noise made by the pulley on the wire,
however, frightened off the thieves, for
when Puck reached his destination they
were gone. But just then he heard
some one moving in the dark near the
house. Back again he slid, whirring
through the air on his line.
Half way back the trolley got off
and became caught in some way. Pull
as the excited dog would, he could not
bulge it, and he hung in impotent rage,
barking his defiance and disgust. In
his excitement he whirled around and
tried to go the other way. Finding he
could not move his trolley in any direc-

tighter about his neck.
This continued until his barking
ceased and his tongue hung out, and
he barely reached the ground with his

SANDMAN'S LAND.

IT'S a queer old journey to Sandman's Land,
No road is more often trod;
For thousands of years little baby feet
Have battered along the well-worn street
OF its capital city, Nod.
And just beyond is Banbury Cross,
In the kingdom of Old King Cole;
And often, tits said, our travellers small,
When not pressed for time, would make a
call
On this royal merry old soul.
IT'S difficult journey to make on foot
When you've played til you're ready TO
cry,
So they ride snug in bed, with golden rings
On the pillow white while mother sings
A gentle, sweet lullaby.
Things seem to get mixed in Sandman's
Land
Mother Goose never told them so;
For Little Boy Blue jumped over the moon,
And Old Mother Hubbard ran off with the
spoon,
While hot buns stood in row.
The Goosey Gander played the pipe
For Dame Trot ard the crooked cat,
And Marjorie Daw was baked in pie,
While the blackbirds swept the webs from
the sky
With the pig of old Jack Spratt.
Can you tell what causes these wonderful
things
To be seen by baby eyes
In Sandmans Land, while travelling far
With a little white crib for private car?
/ think t is cake candy and pies.
