GOMEZ TOSEEN' KINLEY
Cuban Lender Will Start For Wash
ington In April.
WANTS TROOPS WITHDRAWN
I;opeA to Secure an American Guar
antce For Cuban Bonds and to
Shorten Period of Occupa-
tiOn of the Island.

Havana Feb. 27.-HOping to secure
an American guarantee for Cuban
bonds for many millions and under con-
ditions which will mean something less
than an actual protectorate over the Is
land, Gomez will visit Washington and
confer with President Mckinley before
the last of April. To an intimate friend
tT)meZ expressed unbounded admira-
t!on for the president of the great re-
public. declaring his opinion to be that
Mckinley is the greatest man America
has produced since Lincon's day. In
the presidents hands Gomez believes
Cuba's future to be secure, and only
fears that the selfish politicians, whom
he detests, will impose conditions which
will make it impossible for Cuba to ac-
cept loan under an American guar
antee.
He has already mapped out in his
mind plan which he believes Mr.. Nc
kinley will indorse. which will simplify
matters. enabling the Cuban army to
secure its pay and give ia. the island
fair start toward prosperity.
Against Military Occupation.
v
Cuba by the American forces he will
not accept under any circumstances,
but it is understood he will not object
to an American agent in the custom
house who shall have general super
vision of the funds. He will even go so
far as to agree to a naval station in
Havana harbor and the American oc-
cupation of two important land de-
lenses. Reciprocity with the United |
States in the matter Of import duties |
he admits is necessary to Cuban pros |
perity. Weak lungs will not permit Co
mez to go north until warmer weather |
comes.
A petition which has not as Yet been
generally signed has been circulating
among the Cubans 1t is directed to
congress and calls for the removal OF |

GREAT THREE CORNERED FIGHT
SNAKE AND THE CAT HAVE A
BATTLE ROYAL.
The Frog Looked On From the
Snakes Mouth and Enjoyed 1t
ALI Hugely.

| Sitting by the window one day, /
was suddenly startled by a cry that
seemed to come from somewhere in
my back yard-a weird note OF distress
! that sounded almost human, although
/ could not be altogether sure that it
was the voice of a child. Dropping my
work / ran to the window, but for
some little time could not succeed in
locating the sound. Suddenly there
glided across my range of vision a
good-sized garter snake in the act of
swallowing a, frog. One hind leg was
well down, and the snake was using
all it's splendid muscular power to dis
pose of the rest of it's prey. There
seemed indeed small chance of escape
for poor froggie, whose voice had al
ready lost all it's fine cultural quality
and had taken on that peculiarly plain
tive human sound that betOkens mis-
fortune.
[ was just wondering whether / could
not circumvent the assassin and re-
lease his victim, when l saw the Curl
Gus eyes of our good old Tabby cat
peering over the fence. Suddenly there
was a spring! Then there began
battle between Tabby and the snake
that would have joyed the heart of a
GeNOIGe Ol lue IllS. Dill, plii, went
Tabby's paws against the snake, and
lash. lash, went the snakes tail
against the body of poor pussy, while
master frog, from his point of van
tage in the snakes throat, looked on
with cleaning eye. 1t was no mock
fray, for the blood Of the two COM
batants was up, and it was evident
that the fight was to be to the death.
1 expected to see old Tabby finish off
the snake in short order, but to my
surprise the battle waged on and on,
until the two combatants seemed to
have reached the point of exhaustion,
and pussy stretched herself on the
ground at a little distance from her
enemy, cycling him with malicious in
tent, while the snake, still holding on
to the frog, lay prone and motionless,
gazing at the cat with fixed, unwink-
ing eyes.
After breathing spell Tabby began
the contest anew, and the snake seem
ed to have lost little of it's original spir-
it and vigor, but dashed and beat and
spat with unfiinching courage. An
other breathing spell-another bout,
and so on, until at the end of two or
three hours victory declared for Tabby
and the bruised body of the snake lay
quite still and dead Then out from
its jaws jumped master frog, and with
out stopping to thank pussy for hav-
ing saved his life, hoped away, a lit
tie worse for the combat of which he
had been the inspiring cause, d shining
proof of how we'll Tabby had calcu-
lated her blows to do their work upon
the snake, while sparing the frog.

should speak as good English as the

prising. None of the many visitors
seemed more puzzled than Mr.. Ottiwell

Attachment That Adds Interest to
Kite-hYing.

3ICacnLnenU In6J AQQS Interest 10
Kite-hying.
Any boy who can make and fly a kite
can collect lightning from the clouds
and cause it to perform some interest
ing feats. 1t is not sufficient. simply 10
draw sparks as did Benjamin Franklin.
You might do more with lightning that
the early scientist ever dreamed of. And
yet the apparatus is neither expensive
nor hard to devise.
First, you will need your kite. 1t
should be of the Malay type shown in
figure 1. The covering should be of silk
and the sticks of bamboo or some light
but strong wood. On the kite must
be arTayel collecting points to gather
electric currents from the air, for it
lect atmospheric electricity on the clear
est day in summer. These collecting
points should be Of thin copper or iron
wire. and should be sewed to the front
of the kite in the manner shown in
figure ,.
If your kite is well balanced you will
need no tail to it, but if it does not
rise and float steadily you may add
either streamers or weights until it be-
comes less FESTIVE. Your kite must
have a double string-that is, one string
to fly it with, and one, of wire, - con-
vey the electric currents A spool Of
fine cotton-covered wire may be pur-
chased of an electrical supply. This
wire should run parallel to the flying
cord of the kite. The upper end of II
should be soldered to the collecting
points on the kite, and it should run
down the flying cord for 1000 or 5000
feet. Then from that point it should
hang perpendicularly as in figure g.

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
ton By Dieting Dangerous and
Useless One.


We say the old way, but really it is
a very common one at present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians
as we'll consider the first step to take
in attempting to cure indigestion is to
diet, either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or to greatly di-
minish the quantity usually taken, in
other words, the starvation plan is by
many supposed to be the first essential
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again, but still the
moment dyspepsia makes its appear
ance a. course of dieting is at once ad-
Vised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is
foolish and unscientific to recommend
dieting or starvation to a man suf-
fering from dyspepsia because indiges-
ton itself starves every organ and
every nerve and every fibre in the body
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well-cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the pur-
pose for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by
which they cure the worst cases of dys-
pepsia, in other words the patient eats
plenty of wholesome food and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets digest 1t for him. In
this way the system is nourished and
the overworked stomach rested, because
the tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one more friend
for this excellent preparation. Sold at
90 cents for full-sized package at all
drug stores.

kind of SHORTY roar, indicating anger
and triumph at one and the same

terrible roar nor was it blood-curdling
