like these, mistakes will happen
A certain little Miss Of this destined to b,
great and famous city very recently fell called
upon to reflect upon our educational abilitiei
because we had not rubbed our back against
a college vail. We would inform her thai
good hard common sense rises superior ta
many Of the collegiate smatterings Of this day
We have passed our tbree score year milestone,
We have been tried aud tested side by side
oftentimes with college bloods, anc have or
more than one occasion seen them go under
from the lack Of bard common sense. The
comparative youth Of the young Miss renders
her unfit to sit in judgment either upon our
abilities or education. It has been SAID
that "Young people think old people are fools;
tut old people knor that young people are

We have been figuring little lately, 10 SEE
if we could inform ourselves politically, ana
have finally come to the conclusion that
there's gsiie a little ell 10 play somewhere

may fall The votes will have 10 be counted
this time before The result; is known guessing
wont do this time.
By the way, Mr.. Editor, since we have
heard the declaration that our boss had you
lethsred out to a stake, we hsve wandered 10
ourselves whether you had the nerve to cut
the halter and turn yourself loose, free man,
and to show that you are no longer the slave
Of a tyranisal boss. We think the way is
open, and we tHos that you have Gothing

residence OF the Spanish military gov
ernor, adjoining the palace.
The papers declared thnt there the
Spanish officials questioned md mur-
dered political prisoners. According 10
their accounts the floor OF the chamber
was covered with dried blood and Its
walls were iudented with machete
strokes.
An excited crowd soon gathered out
side the residence. which was last oc-
cupied by General Parade. The report
ed torture chamber Is Il room about
eight feet square just OF the dining
room. As matter of fact II was prob
ably used as q pantry. In the wall
there Is q dirty iron bar evidently used
to hang meat and piece OF discolorcd
rope Is suspended from It. 1t Is incon-
