With his escort he made his way to the

cross the wall and surround the enemy.

able antagonist but for the fact that
they captured his staff surgeon and
from him learned the particulars of Ma
ceo's flank movement across the trocha.
The fall Of Maceo was a stroke Of
luck for Weyler, and it changed the
character of the conflict Of all the in
surgent chiefs he had been the most ac-
tive in carrying the war toward the
gates of Havana. His energy was mar
velous, his activity ceaseless. While he
avoided pitched battles, still he was al
ways poking at the enemy and attacking
him in his weakest points. Maceo in the
west and Gomez in the east might have
cut Havana off completely from the
land side Gomez's policy has been to
wait for the sipaniards to attack and to
avoid pitched battles Thus he has pro-
longed the resistance until powerful al
lies came to his aid. All in all there
has been display Of boldness, skill and
courage to warrant the declaration that
the Cuban people are and of right ought
to be free and independent. The insur-
gent ranks comprise just the classes for
the kind of warfare in hand. For the
mass there are the guajiros, horsemen
from the mountain interior who answer
to our backwoodsmen. They are light,

that Lopez rallied around him in 1850.
Physically they remain the same, but
frequent wars have rendered them poor,
and they lack horses and arms.
The want has been in part supplied
by class of young men forming the
aristocracy of the island. Many of these
have been educated in this country OF
in Europe. On their large estates they
have led the life of sportsmen and are
at home in the saddle, while as dead
shots they have no superiors.
Young men are radical and adventur-
Gus hence the prosecutions for opinion S
sake which keep the seniors loyal on
the outside cannot curb the young
bloods. They have been in the fight
from the start, and are in it to stay.
Scarcity of up to date shooting irons
and ammunition has been the great
handicap for the insurgents. Thousands
of fighting men took the field armed
only with shOtguns and revolvers, be-
sides their machetes. The best arms III
use have been the discarded RemingtonS
and Winchesters of the United States.

Whenever it is made an item to get
the most out of the dairy COWS, espe-
oially through the winter, more or less
wheat bran can be fed to them with ad-
vantage In fact, if there is any one ma
terial that can be made part of their
daily ration, it is wheat bran. In many
cases, in order to make sure of full
supply at the lowest cost, it will be
found best to lay in full supply now
and store it away. If put where it will
keep dry, bran will keep in good condi-
ton all winter, and the difference in
price at which it can be bought now
and what must be paid in the spring or
winter will give good profit, saying
nothing of the advantage of having a
full supply when needed. The bran can
be used to advantage with ground grain
or with roughness and will help mate
rally not only in making up variety,
but in supplying a complete ration, SO
that ordinarily there is little danger of

Saved Life md Name

The French author Martainville,
who began his career toward the close
Of the last century, is said to have owed
the preservation of his life to witty
piece of audacity. He was royalist
and did not hesitate to attack the
French revolution and its authorities.
Presently, of course, he was summoned
to appear before the revolutionary tribu-
nal. The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send every
body to the guillotine who had ventured
to attack them.
Martainville expected to go with the
rest of the victims. "What is your
name?" asked the judge. "Martain-
ville, +" said the young author. MAR
tainviller' exclaimed the judge. "You
are deceiving us and trying to hide your
rank. You are an aristocrat, and your
name is De Martainville. Citizen

pleased by Martainville's grim response
that it spared his life.

creameries and Their Patrons.

Every creamery patron should keep
constantly in mind the fact that the
price he gets for his milk depends ON
the price the creamery man gets for the
butter, and this in turn depends in
large measure on the condition in which
the whole milk reaches the creamery,
says Creamery Gazette. The best butter
maker in the whole country will fail in
making a strictly fancy grade of butter
if the milk reaches him sour or tainted.
All creameries are cooperative in fact,
whether they are in form or not. Sue
cess depends upon thorough co-opera-
ton between the patron and creamery
man. The latter must provide improved
machinery, experienced butter makers
and exercise good business in marketing
the product. The former must furnish
first class milk. If either fails in his
duty, both will suffer. When both tend
to business, they both make money.
