A CUBAN CHARGE

off his straw hat. The hat. which Is held
by string, bangles upon the horseman's S
shoulders during his ride. The move
ment, revealing the fine, alert and spirited
faces of the men who served under Gomez

effect, but it is what they always do when
riding into action, so one of the little band
explained the other day.
''The Spanish soldiers he said, "have
the Mauser rifle, which kills at 1000 or 100
yards, while we have only the Remington
carbine, which is of short range. 1t is all
we can afford. If we remain at distance
the Spaniards, without danger to them
selves, will, las you Americans say, wipe
us out SO we must get close to them.
This is the first consideration. The Mauser
bullet will not kill any more at one yard
than at 1000, but it is differnt with the ma
ohete. For it close quarters is necessary.
Nov, see how we are prepared for an
attack. The carbne hangs by this snap-
catch from the belt on the left side. The

be thrown back out of the way, but not

THE MESSENGER BOY
From a Nuisance He Has Grown to Be
a Public Necessity

Once again it is the unexpected that has
happened, to verify the old proverb and
confound the incredulous. Only few
years ago the very type and image of un-
popularity was the messenger boy in uni
form, the "leaden-heeled Mercury" as he
was habitually termed, in unconcealed
contempt for his habits. The butt and
laughing stock of the small wits, the
source of eXasperation in the impatient
and the disappointment of the public at
the discouragement of the philanthropic,
public at large, the messenger boy of the
past was an Ishmael, with every mans
hand against him.
In derision, it would be alleged that
such and such member of the order had
actually taken u letter to Harlem and had
returned the same day; that another had
carried bouquet to the right address, and
had actually brought back the expected
message, and that in several instances the
cash charges had been correct.
Now that has all been changed. The
district messenger boy has become sudden
ly civilized. He carries and fetches not
only with fidelity, but with speed. He has
forsworn the ime-consuming weakness of
pocketing his message in order to indulge
weakness for craps. He is in demand,

and his services, neatly and efficiently rem
dered, are well requited.
Several conditions have conspired to bring
about this change for the better. The hard
times, which shut a good many better
class lads out of employment, rendered the
wages paid for messenger service attract
I've, and boys who by education and man
into the messenger business, greatly to the
Improvement of its personnel.
Meantime the public, growing fastidious,
has insisted upon better department; the
companies have increased the severity of
their discipline as the pressure Of competi-
ton for employment Increased, and the
business was put on edge.
But more influential than all was the in-
PRODUCTION of the bicycle, to which, in the
main, the credit for extracting the lead
from Mercury's heels must be given.
The mounted messenger has no incentive
to lag; his temptation is, rather, to scorch.
Business with him is now pleasure. He has
records to break and no time for lettering
or for craps. He enjoys keeping his uni
form and his person es clean and bright as
his wheel, and lives up to the burnish and
enamel with proper diligence.
Many miracles has the "bike" wrought,
