A CUBAN ROMANCE

Tat-tat-tat sounded in q dreary
monotone from the drums, and slow
~, in single file, the miserable pris-
oners came into view. Ragged, dirty,
unkempt, foUtsore, painting from the
blazing August sky, they were truly
pitiable sight, though they held up
their heads deGautIy, and smiled
derisively at the Insulting epithsts
and grimarss which the lower classes
heaped upon them, especially in the
vicinity OF @oy officer residence. The
better classes of the Havanese showed
their sympathy in striking contrast
to the jeers and jibes of the baser
sort-the men, by their suieu indig-
uant looks; the women, by their fire.
Queut SohS and tears and smOCnered
ordinations.
The time was 1851, directly after
the capture Of Crittender, LopeZ's
brave lieutenant, i'll his ill-starred eX-
petition in Cuba. He and his Spar
tan remnant were these forlorn pris-
oners.
When they reached the Gale de Ia
Lamparilla, one of the marrow, streets
of the city, the guards suddenly halt
ed the column and reyerently barred
their heads y funeral procession
was approaching from the opposite
direction, and the line was pushed
close towards the houses iuttinG or
the narrow footway scarcely worth
the name of sidewalk.

oners, who, evidently. had not the

eyes Drumming with tears, gazed

"Amalia," he whispered.

Oir townsman, Hon Philip P Baker, who recently returned from an extended soj ,urn in Arisona, expressed himself ss much pleased with ihe climate m that hr western stafe. He has gained 20 pounds, alihough he worked hard all the time and took life with the boys in the mining camp on the side of a mountain 4600 feet above the sea level Hs says h- never worked harder or enj ,yed life any more. The air there is clear and exhilarsiing and mild in the winter and cool Gin the shsdp) in the summer. The mountain peaks stretch thousands of feet higher in the ar than the sort of valley in which the camp is located and the atmosphere Is so pure that the moon is seen as plainly in the day lime as the sun and some of the 6xed stars are also visible He rather enjoyed rides of 25 and 30 miles along the trails over the mountaius, although misstep of horse m the marrow ledge often meant death. sAo uSyD '" bNetSo kO'o uoCn to suCoo things aud does not think of the danger. The horses are sure footed and rarely make a misstep. Ha lived on the fare of the camp, and most of all eni ,yed the honey, which is large product of that country on account of the many wild flowers. The bees store tons of the sweet stuf in suitable places In the mountains and the Indisns make a business of hnoting for 1t, Most of the camps sup ply was furnished by s woman who kept bees enough to sell OoOs worth of honey last year at 10 cents s pound, the uni. form price for the product.
