81 was rebel when 1 lost these
glasses I'm Yankee now." This
was the comment of ex-senator Butler,
now Major General of the United
States volunteers, when he recovered
one day a pair of field glasses that he
had lost on the battlefield of Brandy
Station in I863-where he also lost a
leg. Well, that settles point which
a majority of Americans have been
contesting with more or less-lately
with less-energy for hundred years.
All Americans are Yankees now.
Nearly three hundred years ago the
Northern Indians, trying to say
"Anglais," as they had heard the
French call the English, corrupted
the word into "Yankee." The New
York Dutch gave the name to the
English colonists of Connecticut, and
among Americans south and west OF
New England the term was applied
only to Down-easters until the middle
OF the century, when the South ap-
piled 1t to all Northerners. England
first applied the term to all people of
the United States.
We might have withheld our political
noodles
From knocking their heads against
hot Yankee Doodles-
wrote Moore early in the century.
But now the contest is ended. When
an ex-Confederate General announces
himself Yankee the term at once
and forever IS invested with a new
and authoritative meaning and be-
comes applicable to any citizen who
acknowledges as his flag the Red,
White and Blue.

The home merchant is the man
who gives credit when the purchaser
has no cash to buy the necessaries OF
life. The home merchant is the man
who helps pay the taxes that run
schools and build roads. The home
merchant is the man to whom people
appeal for favors. Then why should
he be ignored when a purchase is
made ? He sells as good goods at as
low figure as merchants in other
towns. But then, ofcourse, the home
merchant should get his printing at
home.

Remember Crittenden." "
OPTICIAN,

Remember Crittenden" will be
the battle cry of every Kentuckian
who lands to fight on Cuban soil.
Nearly half century ago Kentucky
blood was spilled there in the cause
of Cuban freedom, and the bones of
William Logan Crittenden and his
men lie In some unmarked spot in
the city of Havana.
They lost their lives in a filibuster-
ing expedition which was unsuccess.
full because the expected uprising of
the Cubans to aid it never took place.
OF the $50 Kentuckians whom he
had fifty were killed in battle, as many
more escaped, and the others were
captured with their leader. Every
one OF the cdptlves were shot.
Narclso Lopez, native Venezulan,
who had lived for many years in Cuba,
was the organizer of the expedition.
His first attempt 1S4o, was frustrated
by the United States authorities. A
year later he succeeded in landing a
force at Cardenas, but was driven
back and forced to take to his boats
and return to Florida. Still, he was
not discouraged, and in August, 1851,
500 men, including Crittenden's Ken
tuckians, sailed from New Orleans
and landed on Aug. IS at Morillo.
Lopez had spread enthusiastic re-
ports of how the Cubans would rise
to meet them, and their little force
would be nucleus for an army which
was to spring into being instantly
thousands strong. He had misreck
oned. Only a few struggling natives
joined him. The Spanish attacked
the invaders at once and routed them.
Crittenden's command bore the brunt
of the attack, and, driven back by
greatly superior numbers took to the
woods, leaving third of their num-
Der on the field of battle. In this way
50 of them, with Crittenden himself,
were captured and taken to Havana.
Lopez's main force had already been
surrounded, and the Venezuelan was
afterward garroted in Havana, some
of his followers being shot and others
pardoned. 1t was decided that the
Americans should be put to death by
military execution. Tightly bound
with ropes, they were brought into
Havana and kept confined for eight
cen hours, after which they were led
forth to their death.
In platoons of six they were made
to kneel facing file of soldiers, and
were shot. Crittenden, when bidden
to get on his knees, replied:
ga Kentuckian kneels only to his
God"
He was shot standing. The bodies
of the victims were thrown into
trench. An hour before the execu-
tion the hands of the captives were
united, and they were notified that
they would have half an hour in which
to write any messages or letters they
wished sent. Col. Crittenden wrote
to his friend, Lucien Hensley:
"This is an incoherent letter, but
the circumstances must excuse it.
My hands are swollen to double their
natural thickness, resulting from
having them too tightly corded for
the last eighteen hours. Write John
CCol. Crittenden's brother and let
him write to my mother. l am afraid
the news will break her heart. My
heart beats warmly for her, now.
Farewell. My love to all my friends"

Letter From Robson's Mother.

The following letter was received
by friend in New York, from the
mother of Lieut.. Richard P. Hobson,
the Santiago hero. That he has
always been kind and dutiful son is
proven by the mothers. words of
praise. We reprint the letter from
the New York Sun.
"GREENsBoRo, Ala, nth of June.
"Dear-: Your letter of congratula-
tions reached me few days ago.
fully appreciate and agree with you in
your enthusiastic tribute to my boys
heroism. In accomplishing his daring
achlevment l realize he was guided
and protected by our kind Heavenly
Father. The appreciation of the
country, his State, and native town is
most gratifying to US all. 1t is but
natural that my mother-pride should
be pleased at the recognition of my
boy by the nation and its rulers. Such
recognition is very happy, but it has
told us nothing new OF his grand
worth. A nobler son no mother ever
had. He has been a mighty tower
of strength to me for years. Never
forgetting the many demands of a
large household, it has always been
his pleasure to share his salary with
us. In every way he has been help
and comfort. The three years he
was studying abroad there never fail
ed to come from him the most loving
letters, and his resources were ever at
our command. The gentlest, noblest
nature, with every attraction of per-
son and character, he claims the ad-
miration of every one who knows him.
To US, nearest and dearest to him, it
took no Santiago to proclaim him a
hero. He has been to us for so long
the truest hero-as noble son and
idolized brother. The plaudits OF the
world are his, and while history will
record the daring deed of his heroism
the gentler, sweeter, beauty of his
nature can be known only to those to
whom he is 'irst-best. ~
'It may be that on Richards re-
turn 1 will! be in New York, when
hope to see you. Of course l shall
very eagerly share all the glories that
will be heaped upon my boy. Our
own State is preparing now to present
him a jewelled sword. y" Affec-
tionately yours, "SALLIE c. HoBsoN."
