For our heroes on guard in the spice

known in the n~eighborhood of Twen-
ty-fourth street, north of Frederick
avenue, st. Joseph, where the two girls
live, that they were s~weethearts. Miss
Densmore plays the part of a man and
Miss Ruth Latham is the girl she
loves. People in the n~eighborhood
have looked upon it as a piece of silli-
ness between the two girls. Even their
parents, for a long time, did not re-
gard the matter with any degree Of
seriousness, but lately they have come
to realize that it is something more
than the play of children.
1t is a case of perverted affection, as
plainly as any case that has ever been
noted in medical books or by science
anywhere. The two girls are plainly
and insanely infatuated with each 9TH
er. They are as deply in love with
each other as though Adele Densmore
were a man. To all appearances their
affection for each other is marked only
by purity, although they make use OF
all the usual manifestations Of love,
and that to an extent that would not
be dared by a young man. and a young
woman in the sight of others. They
kiss when they meet, and kiss again
when they are about to part, with
their rms about each other. It is
said by the parents of the young wom-
en- that this state of affairs has existed
during the past four years, and that
the strange alliance has grown strong
er year by year. Miss Densmore is
given to wearing male attire, and has
had several pictures taken Of herself
in the clothing Of her brother. With
that exception she bears not the slight
est resemblance to a man She is
below the medium height, but is still
taller than her sweetheart, Miss La
than. During the past four years
they have been together almost con-
stantly-at their homes, which are close
together, on the streets, at places OF
amusement, and at church. Wher-
ever one is found, there the other will
be also, unless sickness or some other
cause has kept her away. Their ac-
tions leave no doubt that each one OF
these feminine hearts has been taken
possession Of by other. They will not
encourage the attentions of young

she desired. but each one firmly re-
fuses all advanced ade by the young
men. They are often thrown In the
society of men, but Miss Densmere
protects herself from them. and tho
chance for a word with Miss Latham
Is limited to the whims and ingenuity
Of her companion. The love glances
between them are given and returned
with a warmth Of feeling that some
Zines causes a blush to mount to the
cheeks Of the younger girl. To all
appearances they idolize and worship
each other.
Il is believed by their friends that
they engaged lately in a lovers quar-
re1 and that Miss Densmore's deter
mination to enlist as a soldier was the
result. Anyhow, she was making
preparations to leave home for that
purpose when her parents made the
discovery Of her intentions. It may
have been that she only wanted to
show to her inamorata that she was
still more like a man-that she had
the masculine bravery in her heart. II
they had quarreled it was made up
again when they met. and Miss Dens-
more has been dissuaded from going
to warrior the present, at least.

men, and If any attentions are bestow-
ed by them or n the other is plainly
jealous.
When they are together Miss Dens-
more assumes the prerogatiye Of pro-
tector for her companion with all the
little courtesies that mark the conduct
OF an accepted lover. She carries the
umbrella and CALAMITY assists her com
panion out of the carriage, leads the
way through the crowds, jealousy
watches every movement of her COM
panion, anticipating and supplying ev-
cry want. Her conduct is worthy the
study OF any anxious and solicitous
lover. She pays for all the theater
tickets, buys the ice cream and BON
bons. and, although her o%sculatory ca
resses are not governed by the rules
that govern young men and young
women, she is a perfect adept In the
art Of kissing. The tenderness and
grace with which she imErints on the
cheeks and lips Of her girl sweetheart
these seals OF affection have caused
many a beholder to long for the abil-
ity and eovet the privilege Of doing
likewise.
The two girls are considerably alike
In complexion and general appearance.
Both have brown eyes and hair and
small, delicate hands and feet. Either
one Of them could be the sweetheart OF

WEALTH IN CUBA.
Families Enriched by sugar-MakIng In
poverlahed by PrUhigaoy.

Osgood Welsh, an American sugar
grower, has an illustrated article IN the
Century on Cuba as Seen from the IN
side Mr.. Welsh says:
OF late a great deal has been said and
written about Cuba, but Ia nearly all cases
the accounts are coiored and poorly .di-
gested. 1t must be remembered that
slavery existed all through the island.
and was totally abolished only In the year
1886. The demOralizing influence Of
slavery upon the slaveholding classes Is
well known; it's effects are observable
throughout the island, and cannOt be
eradicated until at least one generation
after the abolition OF the system has
passed away, For many years CUBA, IN
common Wit other West India Islands,
enjoyed a monopoly Of supplying a large
part Of the world with sugar, and the
profits accruing were enormous. BY the
sugar industry families Of great wealth
and influence were built up.
For a time the civilization OF Cuba. was
IN many respects far in advance OF the
United States. The dwellings, both In the
cities and on the aga estates, were IN
many Instances palatial the FURNISHINGS
the use Of silver for an domestic utensils
was quite common. Thus there existed IN
the island what might be termed a par
barrie civilization, as compared WIN wnat
Is known as a more dome pic civilization
IN this country. The line between the
rich and the poor was sharply, drawn;
The disanected and restless citizens OF
the island to-day are 70 a great extent

who, by reason OF their prohigacy, .indo-

Bishop Potter Of New York are among

science of the county"
Officers Of the new league have Just
been chosen and consist of the Rev.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president; DR.. VIII
lam II. TOlman, secretary, and Spen-
Ger Trask, treasurer. The league is un-
sectariau and non-partisan. Its chief
purpose is education. In many parts
Of the country are found thousands
who cannot read English, but who de-
sire to know I'm exact terms what are
their duties as American citizens. For
these information will be translated
into as many languages as may be
necessary. Thousands Of American

religious or secular. They never 90 to
church. But they vote.
1t is to reach these that this new
league has been formed. Its method is
to utilize the young peoples societies
in the churches. The experiment has
been tried to some extent and it is
found that the young people like the
work and do 1t well.
Leaflets are issued Of two kinds. One
tells in exact form about the value Of
a vote. another about good citizenship,
what it Is, all written by eminent au.
thOrities. The other kind sent is a ser
les Of stories, which carry the lesson
but are in form to be more generally
read. Some of the ablest of writers
are to prepare these stories. Bad bills
often pass legislatures and good Ones
often fail of enactment not because
public opinion is un%enlightened, but
because it is imperative. 1t is an OBJ
ject of this new league to afford q me
dunn through which an aroused public
sentiment may be brought to bear
quickly and effectively on legislation,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is writing
one OF the leaflets on the necessity of
enforcing law and Lieutenant II. p.
Hobson has been asked to prepare the
on patriotism.
In addition to the distribution Of in.
formation in leaflets a bureau of infOr.
nation Is maintained, which will helI

string 1t. Besides the prominent per
sons named the list of members in
cludes educators and ministers in ev,
cry part of the country who are taking
this means to reach the nOn-reading
part Of the American public. These
people believe that this method, put
into effect, will prove the death of pc
litical "bossism." The system is to be
organized as rapidly as possible in ev.
cry state.
