WILLIE AT SCHOOL.

After the adoption Of DR.. Halls plan foe ath-
iotics in Chicaso's public schools.1
Little Willie went to school.
The teacher gave him fits
Because he had book instead
OF pair Of boxing mitts
"without your gloves" the teacher said.
"You cannot stand show,
For, Willie, you are up against
The real thing now, you know.
"Go, fling your old geography
Into the lake. and then
When you have got your mitts you may
Come back to school again."
The child obeyed and soon returned,
Prepared to give and take.
His opening lesson was a round
With little Johnnie Blake.
"Lead for his wind" the teacher cried
As Willie squared away,
"And when he ducks be sure to bring
Your left hook into play"
The fight was fast and furious
The scholars yelled "Hurrah!"
When Willie won by "landing with
A swat upon the jaw"
ooh, well, I guessl" the teacher bawlsd.
"You didn't do thing RI
But hammer in his eating prong ~
And start him slumbering."
Then Willie wrestled for awhile
With little Jimmie Lee.
The contest was a lively and
A thrilling thing to see.
Their gentle teacher urged them on
By crying, Twist his neck,"
And "Chew his earl" and Break his
baokl''
And ''Pin him to the deck!"
They pulled and pushed and scratched and
bit
And pulled and pranced around
Until at last exhausted, both
We're stretched upon the ground.
That night when Willie staggered homo
His head was swelled and sore,
And grievous things had happened to
The new suit that he wore
One ear was torn, two teeth were gone,
His nose was knocked awry,
His face was full of scratches and
He saw with but one eye.
His mamma and his papa danced
Around the house for JOY
And laughed and Rugged each other when
They saw their battered boy.
"Hurrah for DR.. Hall, )" they cried,
'tAnd his exalted plani
Our childs begun to go to school
And soon will be a man."
They put his boxing gloves away.
They put the child to bed.
"Ah, what lovely systeml" they
With deep conviction said.

And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying.

WILL SOON PAY CUBANS.
General Brooke Preparing tn Distrib-
ute Three Million Dollars.

HAVANA April 5.-The dissolution OF the
Cuban Military Assembly announced in
these dispatches last night does not cause
any particular comment among Cubans or
Americans here, such step having been
discounted two weeks ago. The American
military authorities, while pleased that an
obstacle 10 the DISARMAMENT OF the Cuban
army has been removed, had been prepar-
ing to distribute the s., 600 900 without the
aid OF the Assemblys rolls by causing to
be drawn up duplicate rolls. In this work
the provincial governors were cooperating
with the Cuban commanders in their
provinces In addition the Assemby's rolls
are being verified and corrected by indie
pendent inquiries. task that may last an
other month. In spite of this the distribu-
ton of money 10 the Cuban soldiers VIII
possibly begin in the vicinity or Havana
within fortnight. The general rules con-
troInng the distribution are to exclude all
men who have enlisted since July u, 1855,
and TO exclude former soldiers now nOldlnS

rural guards, first paying each private ana
noncommiSsioned officer $lo1. Then NJ, as
expected, a balance remains Slv0 Will be
paid 10 each officer II after this there is
any money left it will be disposed OF as the
Plantation raids and the carrying off of
cattle and horses by outlaws are reported
to-day as taking place in the provinces OF
Puerto Principe, Santa Cara, Matanzas and
Pinar del Rio. The Cuban troops in those
districts are chasing the marauders, no
United States troops thus far having been
sent after them. The military administra-
ton intends to suppress the so-called
brigands at widely separated points by
means of the rural guards. and has no pres
ent intention of sending American cavalry
or infantry through an unknown and tan
gled country after these nimble thieves.
RumorS recently circulated TO the effect
that the headquarters of the governor gen.
eral will soon be removed to the city OF
Santa Clara are absolutely denied by Cow

STATES BRIEF FILED.
Case of james Pasco, Charged with
Violating Miners Screen Law.

Attorney General Taylor yesterday filed
the States brief in the case of James Pasco,
who was indicted on March ?, 1891, for vio-
lating the miners screen law. The case
comes TO the Supreme Court on an appeal
from the finding of the Circuit Court, the
defendant alleging that the screen law is
unconstitutional. The attorney general, In
his brief. says:
This statute regulates the method OF esti-
mating a miners wages upon the basis or
the coal mined; but il does not attempt in
any way to fix the limit and price to be paid
as wages, except that the wages paid are TO
be based upon the amount of coal mined
before Ii is screened. If a statutory reguia-
ton Of the right TO contract Is 10 be held UNI

material peculiarly adapted 10 his unique
personality. The part assigned TO Daniels
in 1.-The Idols Eye is that of an American
balloonist. who. while touring the world in
search OF adventure. falls into the at
