The selection of Gcnreal Mario Memo

significance which Is understood and

poIntmcnt by, General Brooke was not
only recognition OF MeIocal's merit
and executive ability, but was 10 GER
tain extent reward for perhaps the
most striking act OF personal heroism
performed In the Cuban war, or for that
matter in any war in any country.
It was in the spring of 1897 that the
city of Guaymaro in Camagney was
besleged by Garcia's forces and cap.
tured after stubborn resistance on
the part of the enemy. Americans now
know what kind OF fight Spaniards
can make when placed behind entrench-
men,s and Notifications. AT Guaymaro
after the outer defenses had been
abandoned massive stone cathedral In
the center OF the place. heavily garrl-
soned by men, who kept up a merclles,
fire from the long. narrow windows and
protected arches. minarets and belfries,
promised to be almost impregnable. The
insurgents had fought Their. way into
the city. but to approach within range
of this fortified church was simply sure
death. While this citadel remained IN
the hands of the Spaniards the capture
Of Guaymaro was impossible.

bered with torpedo of dynamite, he

NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME.
low o Manufacturer Secured Dry"
Town In Indiana, .

A manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind,
has just inaugurated a temperance re-
form in that town that Is at once novel
and apparently practicable, says the
Cleveland Leader. This man, who has
several hundred employees, recently Of
fered to pay into the village treasury
annually an amount equal to the IL
cerise fees derived from the saloons II
the authorities would abolish the sa-
looms and make the town dry" II
the offer was refused he threatened to
remove his factory to another town.
The proposition was submitted to the
council and it in turn referred the mat.
ter to the people at special election.
The result was an Overwhelming vie
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed, the village treasury will re.
peive the annual payment promised,
and the factory will not be removed.
OF course it is not difficult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing of the saloons. He prob
ably realized that he could get better
work from his employees II they were
always sober, and will doubtless dis
cover that the money paid for the
closing Of the saloons Is we'll invested.

If the origin Of golf dates as far
back as some authorities claim, the
game Is not such recent importation
as most people seem to think. Curl
ously enough, the earliest reference to
golf in America Is found, as 1t Is IN
Scotland, in bylaws prohibiting it as
being public nuisance. 1t certainly
must have been played in New York
state 240 years ago, for in hunting back
among the old ordinances of the New
Netherlands colony, Josiah Newman OF
New York city has discovered the fol-
lowing reference, which seems to place
the origin Of the game here beyond
question as early as 1863. 1t Is rather
remarkable passage, and Is given here
In full: "The w. commissary and COM

a story which illustrates the uses OF
adversely. A farmer out West planted
@ lot Of ground to sugar beets. They
grew beautifully and sent out a giorl-
Gus foliage OF dark-red leaves, with
deep red veins In them, which ne ad-
mired very much. A tornado came and
cut them off close to the ground. The
poor farmer was discouraged. 1t was
too late to plow up the field and plant
another crop. His waole spring labor
was wasted and all his money was
gone. He decided that he would give
I'D farming, advertise his place for sale
and go back East to his wifo's folks
Before they had finished packing, how
ever, he noticed, new healthy shoots
coming from all the beets, and told his
wife he guessed they would better hoiu
up awhile and see what happened. ID
o few weeks the foliage was as fresh
and strong as before, 30 he hoed ou'
the weeds with confidence Of getting
Q good crop. When he dug up those
beets and took them to the sugar rae
tory that fall they were found to con-
tain more gaccharine than any others
that were offered, and upon an inVesti
cation at the experiment station 1t wa
decided that their superiority was du'
to the storm. From that time On bee
farmers have initiated the example o
nature and cut the tops of their beet
