So, from his daily record, as thus
outlined, we may conclude that the
word ''honora BILE" is all right, when
it is applied to such 9 man, and we
will continue to refer to him as Hon.
John Doe.
Hon. Richard Roe is different man,

portrait is excellent in every respect.
He is not like Congressman Doe, in
any particular. On the contrary, he
is character whose days doings will
interest you fully as much as the days
doings of Congressman Doe; princi-
pally because of the radical difference
between the two men. Both Of them

Mexico has had IS presidents since
1921. OF these, 16 have died violent
deaths.
Although as a rule they are men OF
long lives, no fewer than 1913 members
Of the sacred college of cardinals have
died since Leo XIII. assembled the
papal throne, and 81 Of this number
were of his own creation.
The controversy over the title of

The late Dr. Friedrich Muller, of Vi

Much to young gentleman's
surprise, he found an oyster in
a stew served at a church fair
in Jenkintown, Pa. In an hour
he was dead;. but whether he
died of excessive joy, heart disease or
ptomaine poisoning is still matter
of conjecture.
An. ingenious gentleman, of Hart
ford, Conn.,, has invented, for the use
of the army, a concentrated food
which he calls "bouillon capsules"
When soldier needs hurried meal,
he swallows capsule and then drinks
two or three pints of water. In few
moments his stomach is full of soup.
The only man known who is obliged

roy ever appointed, for when Lord
Dalhousie took the Office he was by
fouryears Mr.. Curzon's junior. Though
he leaves England, the new viceroy in

fairly exact copy of Kedleston hall,

the defense of Singapore, which he
carried out in 1878, and the fortifca-

1891 he acted as special commissioner
in Pa-Hang during the disturbances,
and was officially thanked for his
services. Sir Henry became governor
of Lagos last year.

nevertheless we were treated with cour-
tesy, and we bore all the marks of an
American soldier-and they invariably
| command respect. After an hour or
so of diligent search, we were in
formed through an English resident
that Spanish paper had been recently
suppressed, because of it's sympathy
with the Cuban cause, and it's propri-
etor, Senior Lopez. could easily be in
terviewed. We soon found the senior,
who offered his whole outfit for $7OO-
worth about $70-but as we did not
come prepared to buy, we struck bar
gain for the lease of his esta blishment
for three days for $25. The printing
office was about six blocks from the
palace, one-story building, and con-
sisted of an editorial room, composing
and press rooms. Every thing was some-
thing on the plan of our American Of
fees, although the cases are laid diff
ferently, and it took us some time to
Americanize the arrangement of the
type. Sergt. James Stuart was chosen
business manager; Corporal F. G. Guy
kendall, editor-in-chief; Private Fred J.
McCutcheon, local editor; Sergt. John
BARRON, mechanical superintendent;
Private A. Radigan and George Maurer,
compositors, and Thomas Butler, in
terpreter.
with this force we set to work, and
for three days and nights-from a. m.
until II p. m.-we pounded away until
we had got our paper ready for the
press. With perspiration streaming
from every pore and bodies ra cked with
symptoms of fever, we stuck to the
task, nothing but the hard floor of the
Office for bed, no blankets, no nothing.
The typesetting being finished, we
wondered who would turn the press,
but not man among us had strength
enough to give it a single revolution.
While discussing this problem, the 10
cal editor brought in two healthy
Cubans, who CALAMITY offered to aid
the 'Americanos,' and in short time
Co. F Enterprise was being shout
ed in the Spanish language on
the streets Of Santiago We turned
out 5000 copies, and brought home
from the. island about 1000, pa
pers, the balance being sold among the
army and navy. The next day we
wendell our way back to the camp, and
presented Gen. Shafter with a copy of
the: Enterprise. He complimented us
on our undertaking, and after that
nothing was too good for us. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of the paper, together
with the advertising, were divided
among the firm, but none of us got
rich" s- g..
With this graphic account of the
printing of the first American news
paper ever printedin Cuba the narrator,
modestly refrained from saying more.
Death has invaded their little coterie
since arriving home, and Corporal Guy
kendall has passed to. his home beyond,
being stricken with paralysis two weeks
after his arrival. Thus the 'seditor-in-
chief" died with honor, and the respect
of the whole nation. For their intrep-5
iidity all OF the boys who showed the
true spirit, pluck and endurance in the
production Of Co. + Enterprise have
been offered lucrative positions in
various vocat tons, but they all seem in
clined to go back to their first love and
once more take up the 'stic and rule. -

its the interior department to make
inquiry about a pension case, which
has been appealed. He sees the Sec
ond assistant secretary, who gives
him all the papers in the case, and
there he sits for an hour, reading
every paper, carefully as a paid law
yer would do, in order to ascertain
the merits of the case. Then, after
fully informing himself about the mat
ter, he argues the point with the as
fistant secretary and takes the part
of his old soldier constituent as earn
estly as though he were paid pension
agent. That is his duty as a con-
gresham, and he does it.
If the entire morning is not then
spent, he will &C to the Indian office, to
consult with the commissioner about
contract for blankets which one of
his constituents wants to make, for
the purpose of supplying Indians with
those necessary articles. He must con-
vince the commissioner that his con-
stituent will furnish better blankets
for less money than any other con-
tractor; and he does his best in the
matter, as he is in duty bound to do as
congressman, representing that con-
stituent. Thus he attends to every
errand required of him, from day to
day; and he writes to each one of his
correspondents, giving the exact con-
dition of affairs in every case.
At noon the house of representa-
tives is called to order, and Congress
man John Doe is in his place, ready for
call, unless public duty has kept him in
one of the departments. But, as a
general thing, he is always in his place
when the gavei falls at noon, and
Speaker Reed says: "The house will
come to order"
AS soon as the house adjourns, at
four, five, six or seven o'clock, us the
case may be, Congressman John Doe
gets aboard Of an electric car and
hastens home. He takes supper with
his wife and children; or, If adjourn
ment has been later than usual, and
supper is over, he takes supper alone,
but his wife and children are there.

SCHOOL DAYS.

Ages ago with sober dread NH
Hl heard their rules and reasons read,
Then passed the timid, fearful state
TO mysteries Of book and slate.
My early fear to fondness grew
And seasons all too quickly flew,
Until my school-day time had ed T.
And left me with my part unsaid. -
All! classic days of long ago, F.
When was farthest down the row.
And never Thought harder rule
Would guide me through ,life's higher
school.
Dear study days of pranks and pains,
And dog-eared books with dingy stains,
[ little knew how much I'd rue
The parting from my youth and you.
AS dreamily I doze and sigh
Those old school days come trooping by,
with all their merriment and noise,
Their romping rows Of girls and boys.
Whose heller SHELTER runs to rout
Me from my dreams, to cure my doubt;
To tell me life is young and gay
And am part of 1t to-day.
And when one lassie seeks my knee
And makes her good" report to me
new delight can't restrain
Fills old school days revived again.

was hardly prepared for this ewout-
burst of American enterprise and pa
triotism, and at first I'd QUILTED our SIM
cerity, but being assured that we
meant business we gained his con-
sent for a shree days furlough. We
Immediately packed up enough ra-
lions for the allotted time, and hur-
riedly prepared for the journey to
the captured city. We had just rolled
up our rubber blankets when the loot,
toot of an engine was heard, and we
hurried to the railroad track, VIII ere we
succeeded in boarding a commissary
train bound for Santiago. We were
given comfortable quarters on the top
of q box car, used as caboose, and
made ourselves fast. This came nat
ural, as some of US had been there be-
fore'-that is part of the printers art.
The train was too heavy for the en-
CINE to pull up the heavy grades, and
SO after getting within about three
miles of Santiago the train was cut in
two,: the engine, taking the first part
on and leaving the other part on the
grade all night. We were left as a
guard, and, although in the midst of
every thing good to eat, had to be con-
tent with our regular army fare.
After sleeping on the boxes till morn
ing we were full of kinks, but as time
was precious we decided to 'hoof it,
the rest of the distance to the city,
which we did.
s"Fhe city itself presents a very
quaint appearance to an American.
The streets are very narrow, being
from 80 to 40 feet wide, with few of
the principal thoroughfares paved
with cobblestones-the gutter in the
middle. The palace. at present the
American headquarters, is located in
the center of the city, and at one time
must have been a magnificent build
| ing, but the vicissitudes of time have
somewhat marred its beauty. The
cathedral just opposite the palace is
beautiful place in the interior,
beautiful paintings adjoining the walls
and the altar trimmings being in gold
and silver. Everything bespoke cost
illness. and vast amount of wealth
must have been expended in the dec
ora tions.
"After short time of sightseeing, we
proceeded to find printing office, and
as we trudged through the streets we
were the cynosure of all eyes from the
natives, as the packs on our backs and
our tattered and dusty uniforms gave
US the appearance of mendicants, but
