BOBBY-BRIGHT-EYES
True Story OF a Smart Little Squirrel
That Lived in n Hotel and Had
Many Friends.

Perhaps one of the great big trees
In Winona Lake park could tell just
where Bobby-bright-eyes first came
from; in what warm nest, and in what
particular tree he was born. Still they
kept the secret, though Alice had gone
from tree to tree and asked them time
and again.
One morning, after heavy wind and
rain storm, she found Bobby-bright-
eyes on the steps that led up to the
long, wide porch, where all the girls

helpless, wet little squirrel baby he
was! Glad to be cuddled up, too, he
seemed in Alice's warm, red jacket. So
Alice ran in and showed him to her
papa, who owned the hotel, and papa
had little box made for Bobby-bright-
eyes, who took it all as a matter of
course, and did not try, as many a
squirrel would, to get away.
He seemed perfectly happy. In few
days he was so tame that he would go

Modest and Meritorious.

The Commencement Exercises of
the Mineral Point High School for
1899 were distinguished by absence
of pretense and modesty of appoint
ment. A gorgeous profusion of flow
ers and ready-made addresses treat
ing of subjects unsuited to the years
of the speakers, which too often APP
pear in school commencement pro-
grams, are of no advantage to the
graduates and furnish no evidence
that the schools are doing the work
expected of them. A departure from
such practice is therefore not to be
regretted.
Prof. Upham's address was the
main feature of the exercises. TWAS
thoroughly practial, well fitted to the
occasion and to the years and condi-
tion Of those for whose benefit il was
especially designed. He sought to
impress the importance of applying
knowledge. Education without skill
and industry is of no value, and the
highest education consists in employ
ing knowledge to some useful pur-
pose. This thought he elaborated
and forcibly presented.

sisted of Invocation by Rev. Chase,

Damage Done Will Reach SIC, 900, Fair
Buildings Demolished, No Fair
There This Year.

The storm of Sunday evening de-
veloped as cyclone at the village
of Fennimore. 1t struck about I
o'clock, coming from the south
west at the rate of SO miles an hour.
The amphitheatre, art hall, stalls
and judges stand of the Fennimore
Fair and Driving Park association
were demolished in an instant. Con-
tinuiug on its work of destruction, it
partially unroofed the general mer-
chandise store of the Hmm II Hilde-
brandt company, which also sus-
tanned heavy loss on account of
goods damaged by water. The lum-
Der yard of George w. Blanchard
was scattered broadcast and two
sheds were damaged. A car on the
North Western railway tracks was
lifted off it's trucks and hurled ten
feet. G. N. Grayham's hardware
store was partially unroofed and St.
Mary's Catholic church was de-
prived of its chimneys. Barns be-
longing to w. Rogers and G. Book
were demolished and other minor
damage was done. Trees were torn
up, fences wrecked and gardens de-
stroyed in all parts of the city. East
of the town a barn belonging to w.
NJ. Riddlough, farmer, was demol-
ished, but the livestock was saved.
"A conservative estimate of the losses
is as follows:
Fennimore Fair and Driving Park
association, $500; the Hinn-Hilde-
brandt company, $500; George w.
Blanchard, $1,000; w. M. Riddlough,
$1,000; William Rogers, $500; G. n.
Graham, $500; Chicago & North
Western Railway company, 800; C..
Book, 800; William BOIL, $50; St.
Mary's church, $50.
VIM. Rogers, secretary and pro-
prietor of the Driving Park and Fair
grounds, writes that the catastorphy
precludes any fair being held there
this year. The loss is heavy if not
an utterly crushing blow to Mr.
Rogers, who had invested all the
money represented in the fair
grounds and buildings.

CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT IN CUBA
only the AgitatOrs and the RabbIe
FOmcntinS Discord.

The Havana newspaper La Lucha in an
editorial on the situation in Cuba, says:
There will be neither revolt nor insur-
rection. Matters are in a grave condition.
but not alarmingly so. The judicious beha-
vior of all persons of influence will prevent
violent or sensational Developments There
has been no outbreak of armed men in any
part of the island, and, as matter of fact
the people in the rural districts intend to
quickly suppress any attempt at a rising.
The farmers who had to be forced to
fight Spain are now beginning to recover
from the effects Of that struggle. They
know that the Americans are determined to
maintain the peace, and they know also
that the American authorities are kept
fully informed of every step taken by men
who are giving a percentage of their saa-
RES to buy arms The other imbecles-
using the money they receive from the
United States to further plans which they
must know are doomed. to fail-are also
marked men. The American government
has in Cuba unapproachable spy ser
vice, largely composed of Cubans them
Selves
Remarks of this nature. coming from A
newspaper closely in touch with the facts
of the situation and inclined to show the
brightest side of affairs, have provoked a
good deal of discussion among Americans
there, especially an allusion in a other part
of the editorial to project of the rural
guard to use the arms furnished them by
the United States. This latter suggestion
is thought by some to confirm the report
that the rural guard will take to the woods
in a body when called upon by properly
authorized Cuban leaders.
The municipality of Afacranes has adj
dressed petition to Congress, saying in
substance, that the Cuban people do not
doubt the honesty of Congress; that the
joint resolution guaranteed the island alb
solute independence; that any attempt to
alter the resolution would be an attempt
against independence, and that, now the
humane object of Intervention has been full
filled, Intervention is no longer justified
The Cardenas Herald says: The census
recently taken by some Cubans who desire
to make the island well instructed, shows
as 1t turns out an iliteracy of so per cent,
and probably this errs on the side of len
iency, as the census was taken by people
who would naturally give the benefit of any
doubt to their own class"
Senior Federico Mora, the supreme court
fiscal, has addressed a circular letter to the
audiencias. instructing them that members
of the rural guard, in the case of charges
not Of strictly military character, are
to be tried in the civil courts.
On December 3 the interment of the re-
mains of General Antonio Maceo and Lieu
tenant Francisco Gomez will take place in
the recently constructed mausoleum at Be
jucal. Many of the revolutionary leaders
will attend the ceremonies.
