ANIr1AL LIFE IN CUBA.
Troopers Tale About the Buzzards
and Wild Dogs.

A trooper of the Eighth regular cav
airy, who returned from Cuba recently,
thinks the island is a regular menag-
eri.
You oughter see the bUzzar is re
said They look just like turkeys,
and you wouldn't ca: any turkeys after
you seen them. The boys had lots of
fun shooting 'em, but we was fined s.
for every one killed. so we sooa stop
ped that. Then we took hunk of
meat and tied a string to it, and at the
other end of the string we tied can of
beef-we never ate the canned beef
and when the buzzard saw the meat
he'd run and swallow it, and the boys
would shout, then up goes the old
bird with the string and the can.
That's one OF the ways we got rid of
our canned beef. Sometimes the boys
would put fish hooks in the meat, but
that was no fun. for Is soon as the
bird felt the hook he'd spit it out
again. Sometimes the strings and
cans got caught in the trees and the
buzzards would by lying around get
all tangled up.
zone time we went on practice
ride through the woods with the cap
tain ahead of us. The captain sat on
bis mare as straight as if he were on
parade. Suddinlike he got bang on
the head and was nearly knocked
down. Gee, but he was mad lie
tnrned on the lieutenant and SAID
What the--is the matter with you;
what did you hit me for?'
" Il didn't hit you, cir, said the lieu
tenant.

No sooner did he say it than he
got another bang on the head, and,
snatching in the air, got hold OF can
of beef on string. He looked up, and
there was buzzard with the other end
of the string in its mouth. Getting
square, that's what he was doing
The captain, he laughs then, and tells
the boys they can shoot all the buzz
yards they want to.
Them wild dogs, they're all right,
too. If they ever caught YOU in the
woods, goodbye! They're thieves, too.
We had a little terrier which we
brought with us from Huntsville. We
called him Dewey and suddin he dis
appeared, nobody knew where. Then
we notices our quartermaster's tent was
being robbed when the new rations

We regret to hear it reported that Ger.

the fusion committee attack candidates
on other tickets they deserve Just as
severe reprobation as do the speakers for
the Republican and Populist tickets. If
this campaign can't be run on principle
then no campaign ever Gould be SO con.

ants. The practice is not confined to
the hotels and inns, but guests at the
private homes of the rich are expected
to cross the palms of those who attend
to their wants. This woman, in relat-

In such dilemma as to what was the
proper thing to do in the way of feeling
the servants that after some delibera-

which ones will expect remembrance
and what amount it ought to be-

question had come up 40 often in this

good one and which had been in opera

cerned, including the servants. She
