THANKSGIVING WITH SOLDIERS.
Veteran of the Civil War Tells of Some


veteran OF the civil war lells OF Some
Experiences.
"There Is no day." said Gen. j. Z. At
kinson recently, that brings up the old
memories as does Thanksgiving. 1t IS
the contrast, | suppose. Thanksgiving
depends for its enjoyment upon home sur
roundings, aud its very mention suggests
feasting. Now, il there was anything
more sadly lacking in the camps of both
the Onion and Confederate armies than
these two items, | can't guess what II
was. 1t might easily have become a
very dreary and homesick day, and to
guard against that the boys used TO get
up all kinds of schemes to make 1t pass
off pleasantly and seem more like the
DAYS at home. Those who were fortu-
nate enough to get boxes from home usu-
ally shared the good things with their
friends but when we had just been in ac-
ton or were on the march it sometimes
happened that no boxes could reach US,
and we were thrown wholly upon our
own resources. Some OF the forms of
diversion that were originated then seem
very laughable as we look back upon
them from this distance.
II remember that on one Thanksgiving
day, Wnen we Hau oeen On the mofe Aoh
several days, the men organized
Thanksgiving celebration beginning with
a fantastic celebration and ending with
some impromptu tableaux, and the sing
ing of army songs. Discipline WAS usu-
ally relaxed little on holidays, and the
officers gave permission for the affair
Considering the unshayen and tattered
condition of the men and the accumula-
ton of Virginia mud which adorned
them, 1t was not difficult to get up suf-
ficiently grotesQue parade by turning
coats inside out and wearing skillets and
such other articles of camp furniture as
could be had. One of the features of the

SONG OF THE TURKEY.

My fond wife shares my sorrow,
For I'm to be Thanksgiving fare,
Tomorrow, oh, tomorrow.
The cheerful sunlight m0cks me So
IL seems but gloomy weather;
turkeys may come aud turkeys go,
But I'll be gone forever.
Last year twas one grandma had Matched
So thin a bird, the cook
In looking at him, said he matched

But this year they must have bird

Of members of the English aristocracy

that she at first viewed these mar

that her fears have since been complete

that American girls, from the breadth
Of their education, independently and
rapid-changing life, are better able to
adapt themselves to new environment
than the more stereotyped English
girls. The queen also thinks it unfair

WANTS A BIG LOAN.
Cuban Government Will Ask United
States for $50, 900.
Money Is Needed to Set the Men OF
the Disbanded Army on Their
Feet and to Get the Farms
in shape.

Capt. Justo Garcia, the son of Gen.
Calixto Garsia, of the Cuban army, who
was a passenger on the United States
transport Berlin, which arrived from
Santiago de Cuba the other day, said
in an interview:
1--WE are being confronted by several
very serious conditions. The chief onc
is the disbanding of our troops, and the
convention now in session at Santa
Cruz is trying to solve the question
This convention has one great object
in view, and that is to disband the
troops, which now comprise about 3d.
900 men, and to secure work for these
men.
"The assembly proposes to appoint
commission to consult with the gov
eminent officers at Washington as to
the best way of disbanding. When that
is accomplished, the commission will
endeavor to raise a sum OF money to be
divided among these men, SO that they
can reestablish their farms. To do this.
II would take at least $50, 0o00 900. Over
lures will be made TO the United states
to advance this sum to the Cuban gov
eminent as soon as it is formed and our
government will be the security. IT
the United States government does
not care to advance such sum, the
commission will try to form syndicate
of American capitalists to advance the
money.
"All the Cubans feel that the United
States will give them absolute indie
pendence, but before doing that the
United States should occupy every part
of the island. Personally, ] believe in
government similar to that of the
United States. That is the land thrt
fought for us, and is the land we intend
to favor in every way. ] do not think
my father would accept the presidency
of the new republic. He has worked
increasingly for over 80 years to estab-
lish the freedom of Cuba. and when
that has been accomplished finally and
forever, he intends to take rest"
