WAIT AWHILE RAYMOND.
The Gentleman Obligingly Explains
How He Came by His Rather
Peculiar Name.

Wayte A. Raymond is a name which
one sees occasionally inscribed upon
the register at the Butterfeld. There
is nothing peculiar about the name nor
about its possessor, but there is an in
teresting story about the way in which
the name was conferred. Mr.. Raymond
is a commercial traveller who has been
coming to Utica for 25 years, and is one
of the best-known statesmen in the drug
gists' supply trade. The other after
noon while in reminiscent mood he re-
lated how it came about that he was
named in the way that he was.
II was born in the west AZ years ago"
began Mr.. Raymond, land l was the
youngest of a family of ~ children. My
parents are both still alive, and, in fact,
there has been but one death in our
family for the past so years. AS is the
custom with parents, l was no sooner
born than my parents began casting
about for suitable name to bestow
upon me. They did not find the task
an easy one. however, for they had
named II others and had exhausted the
category. Not being able to agree upon
q name for their last-born, it is said that
they invited the neighbors to make sug
gestions, but, 1t seems, with no bet
ter results. l was therefore allowed to
live along q nameless sort of creature
until one day my mother became impa-
tient and said to my father: Now, it
is shameful not to name this child. Let
us agree upon something at once
Father, tired of rehearsing the list,
replied as he had done before: oh,
mother, don't let's hurry. Wait awhile
and we will find something that will
suit us BOTH
"'Wait awhile exclaimed mother, an
idea striking her. Wait awhile? Well,
we have got to call the poor child some
thing else except baby, and for con-
venience sake we will call him Wait
Awhile until we can think of something
better
'But father and mother never
thought of anything better or even diff
ferent, and the result was that was
never christened. From that time out
I was called Wait Awhile by everybody
in the neighborhood, and when / grew
old enough to know my parents related
the circumstances which led to its be-
stowal When I moved away from the
state and came east the name followed
me, and / have never tried to change il

WOMAN'S WAYS.
Some Foibles and FraiIties Which
Crop Out in Her Every
day Life.
Budget

A grocer has the advantage of other
men. Whenever he wants to take the
conceit out of a woman he lets her pick
out her own cantaloupes.
There is nothing more discouraging
to girl than to return home from big
town with new wrinkle in style and
find that it has preceded her.
When the daughter of a rich man
makes salad, with two servants to pre-
pare the ingredients and to wash up
afterward, she gets credit for doing all
the housekeeping.
Every woman must spoil something
a man, baby or dog. We have noticed
it is rarely man.
If the Lord sends only one boy in a
family of girls the mother and sisters
drop into line and begin to revolve
around him.
Look at child and its mother will
Immediately take out her handkerchief

What has become of the d-fashioned
woman who has tidy" pinned on
every chair in the house?
Accuse woman of extravaganza and
she will remember that she saves all
the strings that come around parcels
and feel that her conscience is clear.
Women sometimes oyerestimate the
power a pretty girl has on man. An
Atchison woman, finding that she
would be late with her dinner, called to
a pretty neighbor girl to come over and
talk to her men folks while she got it
ready. The pretty girl came and talked
her best, but all the men folks quar-
relied with her before dinner was on the
table and haven't spoken to her since

MARsHALLTowN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 2 1899

Orders seem to have gone forth from
the military headquarters in South Ar
rica to maintain silence. AS there is no
great delay in telegraphing, despite the
breakdown of one cable, nothing else
will explain the absence of news.
There is almost no new information
this morning from any of the British
commands in South Africa. The infer
sence to be drawn is that the generals
are maturing plans which it would be
improper at this moment to disclose
1t is not known yet how the battle of
Modder river was fought; whether
Kimberley has been relieved; whether
Gen. Hildyard has moved forward from
Frere since Tuesday, or whether Gen.
berg Junction.
The latest dispatch from Frere states
that on Tuesday the British drove back
the Beers, who We're trying to destroy
a big bridge near Colenso. If this was
the great structure over the Tugea
river, the fact of its being intact is of
the greatest Importance to Gen. Clery'ss
advance.
1t is uncertain which bridge the dis
patch refers to. There are two. rail-
way and a road bridge to Ladysmith,
crossing the Tugela a this point. The
railway bridge has already been re-
ported to have keen destroyed 1t is
quite likely that this report was false.
To make this bridge, whichever it is,
absolutely secure, a British force must
cross the river and intrench itself on the
further bank at the bridge 1t is not
stated whether Gen. HilGyard is able to
do sthis.o Undoubtedly if the advance
troops have crossed the river, and in
trerched themselves a very important
success has been gained and a great OBJ
stacle in clergys way has been remov-
ed. 1t is possible that the bridge has
been mined and may yet be destroyed.
There is2every probability now that
the Beers will dispute the passage of
the Tugela river by the British column.
With White in their rear they will run
extraordinary risks. They are said to
be concentrating at Grobler's I<loof,
close to Colenso. The British move
ments in the direction of Weenen look
like an attempt to get around the en-
emy's flank.
Despite the silence the situation in
Natal is regarded as wonderfully i'm
proved. There are at present quite 3O.-
900 British troops in that district. Re
endorsements are being rapidly pushed
to the front. A good many guns of great
range are now added to Hildyard's arm
ament. His delay must be owing to
the breaking down of bridges or his rel
ative paucity of cavalry, just as Gen.
sGatacre is delayed by the necessity of
safeguarding Lord Methuen's communi-
cations from Boer attack from the Or
ange Free State.
Sir George Stewart White is still more
than match for his3foes at Ladysmith.
Much firing was heard from the besieg
ed town in the early part of the week
That no news has arrived for twenty
four hours from the Modder river may
signify that Methuen's telegraph wires
have been cut. This does not of neces
sity mean that there is any danger of
being permanently in
terrupted. 1t has not been NIethuen's S
business to clear the country OF his ad
versaries but simply to get to Kimber-

GEN. WOOD CHOSEN.
President Has Decided to Make Him
CiviI GOVERNOR

Washington, Dec. 2.-Gen. Leonard
Wood will be the master of all Cuba
under the direction Of the president
until the time comes when congress
takes action by providing a new civil
government for the island.
+ Cen. Wood is not to be called official-
ly "civil governor, He will be military
governor in supreme command of the
island, but in the absence of any in
surrection or trouble-and none is ex-
pected by the admnistra tion-his du-
ties will chiefly be civil.
Gen. Wood is to have the rank of ma
jor general of volunteers. which will
enable him to outrank the regular
army officers who remain in Cuba un-
der his command.
Some of the generals now there are
to be Withdrawn, and those who re-
main will be placed under Gen. Woods
orders.
To appease those who are taken
away the president will. as already an
nounced, make several promotions to
brigadier generalships of the regular
army. Those to be thus honored are
Gems. Lee and Wilson.
President Mckinley long ago conclud-
ed that the best man to take charge of
the complex affairs of the island Of Gu
ba was Gen. Leonard Wood, the young
medical officer who had made such a
fine record. The president has not
changed his mind, and he has not deyi-i
ated hairs breadth from his purpose
to place this young administrator in full
charge.
When Gen. Wood was offered 100000
year to assume charge of a street
railway in Washington the president
promised him higher honors. even il at
less pay. in the service of the govern
ment, and he intends keeping his prom
Use, regardless of Intrigue and disap-
pointment among the officers of the line
in the regular army.
Gen. Wood Will return to Cuba in
few days, and as soon as the president
can arrange the future of the other gen.
erals involved the present commander
at Santiago will be placed in charge of
the entire island, military and civil,
with headquarters at Havana.
