HE BOILED THE WINE.

"Apropos of the hardships of our boys in
Cuba" said an officer who saw good deal
OF duty on the island, to a representative
Of the New Orleans Times-D Democrat, "Ill
tell you bit of a story. Shortly after our
regiment went on duty near Santiago, at
the beginning of Woods administration as
Governor, we began to be able to take
little better care of ourselves than we had
done throughout the campaign. One of
our captains-I won't mention his name,
for he's sore about this affair-was great
crank on the subject OF microbes, and took
extraordinary pains to avoid their society
He had picked up raw Cuban cook, and
gave him the most explicit orders to boil
all the water used in the mess, no matter
where he got it. Boil everything we
drink, he said, or I'll kick your back
bone through the top of your hat
1.-THE Cuban promised faithfully, and
obeyed the order to the letter. A week or
so afterward the captain, while foraging
about town, was presented with a quart
bottle of champagne from one of the ships
lie was overjoyed, and, securing a small
lump of ice, he hustled back to camp and
turned over his prizes to his cook. L
want you to get up something extra good
today he said, for I'm going to ask
few friends to dinner to help drink this
wine At the appointed hour the party
assembled, and, after serving repast of
stayed beef and sweet potatoes, the cook
stalked in, carrying a steaming saucepan
half-full of muddy yellow liquid. What
in thunder is that, asked the captain.
That 8 the wine, senior, replied the Cuban
gravely. I boil i'm good deal, an e mos
all 90 way. The guests roared with
laughter, and the captain was so thunder
struck he couldn't say a word. He sub.
sequently recovered himself sufficiently to
grab cleaning-rod and chase the Cuban
nearly half a mile After that all any
body had to do to get fight was to say
boiled champagne. When | left the

ARMOuR'S WIT.

One day man carrying a fuzzy little
poodle under one arm entered Mr.. Armour s
office and tried to talk 'P. d " into buy
ing it. The price was exorbitant, 5000 for
a useless toy poodle. Mr.. Armour looked
at the man, then at the dog, and back
again at the man and said "No. The
sausage business must pick up considerably
before | can pay SO much for small dogs.
Bring around mastiff and I'll talk to
you" On another occasion one of those
self-coniident young men who believe
that all wealthy men have tender spot
for the man of nerve, and who do net hest
tate to approach even the busiest men,
made Mr.. Armour a decidedly bold re-
quest, which was promptly denied. SUM
moning up all the haughtiness at his COM
mand, the young man said in tone that
was meant to crush Mr.. Armour: "Well,
all | can say is that you are no gentleman. "

smile, 'I'm butcher"

Progress
in North East.

',rhe relief from dust during the hot
weather is deserving of something more
than mere thanks" truly says the Cecil
Star, and this happy thought was prompt
ed by the fact that street sprinkler will
soon be scattering its drops of comfort
around North East. The Star thus speaks
of the matter: ''Through the personal
efforts of Mr.. T. j. Abrams and DR.. K. G.
Underwood, our town will soon be bene-
fitted by street sprinkler. The sprinkler
has been made and awaits coat of paint.
These gentlemen secured a sufficient num-
Der of subscriptions from private citizens
at 80 cents month to justify them in
undertaking the enterprise. AS it is a
private affair, the citizens generally should
give it all possible encouragement, and
thereby prevent any loss to those who have
undertaken the venture solely through a
spirit looking to the public good"

Port Deposit
and lis Streets.
Editor Gerry, of the Port Deposit Press,
started out last week to disabuse the public
mind of the error into which it had fallen
in thinking that Port Deposit was town
of but one street. Said the Press: "Some
people get the erroneous idea that this
town of ours has but one street. 1t affords
us great pleasure to enlghten the unen-
lightened. We have North and South
Main street, Granite avenue, Race street,
Quarry street, Creswell street, Depot
street, Baseball avenue, Foundry street,
Ferry street, High street, Rowland street.
Cameron street, Mill street, Electric street.
Bank street, Cedar avenue, beside various
alleys" And we are glad that the Press
thus spoke. Port Deposit is a delightful
town and its people most kindly-it has
more than one street of hospitable homes

will be seen, therefore, with the exact

as much as a couple of degrees. This
however, would not make more than
eight minutes in time variation.

For two years past a lovely Brooklyn
girl has been the favorite wife of rich
Moor living at Tangier. She claims to
be perfectly happy, and declares that
not on any account would she leave her
present home. Some facts regarding
this remarkable young woman have
just been brought to this country by
Mrs. Haider, member of the law class
of New York University. She and her
husband have returned from an extend
ed wedding tour, in the course of which
they visited Tangier. While there Mr..
Haider secured for his wife permission
to visit the harem of an enormously
wealthy pasha living i'll that quaint old
place. In one splendid apartment OF the
Dalace Mrs. Haider found the most
lovely woman she had ever seen. A
guide in a whisper informed the visitor
that this was the reigning favorite. The
beautiful creature did not look like an
Oriental, and Mrs. Haider asked her
question in French. The favorite smil-
insly replied in English, saying that
was her native tongue. The accent sug-
gested American education, and Mrs.
Haider limited as much. Thereupon the

The revival of the Olympic games at
Athens a few years ago was an event
of interest to the world of scholarship
At that time it was proposed to hold
International games at Paris in 1900
and at New York in 1904. Greatly to
the surprise of the representatives of
athletics the French government has
refused to entertain the scheme Of
holding such games in connection with
the Paris exposition. Baron Cunbertin
and his committee, however, are not
discouraged and falling to secure the
sanction of the government affirm they
will hold the games if necessary indie
pendently Of the exposition authorities
To great many people the chief in
terest in the Olympic games consists
in their revival on the classic soil Of
Greece. That they can be successfully
transplanted is yet to be demonstrated.
