FROM CUBA.
John Owens Returns After Delight
full Visit ON the Island.

John Owens returned last Wednes-
day from Cuba, having visited Havana,
Mantanzas, Ceinfugas and several
other cities. He has been absent
four weeks, of which two were
spent on the Island In Havana he
went through Moro Castle, its under
ground passages and also visited the
Notifications and all other places of
interest. While in Havana Mr. Owens
attended reception given to Major
General Leonard Wood, U. s. v, COM
manding the division of Cuba and
Military Governor of Havana, at his
official residence, from to p. NJ. on

place is taken by the gentleman of the
derby, who sits-bare headed now
with straining eagerness as gray bull
is sent, careering across the dead line.
"Of fore FOOT he cries as his pony
springs forward. There follows quick
cast, 9 couple of turns around the
saddle horse, and the horse braces
back, tucking his head well down to
keep it out of the way while the bull,
his flight suddenly arrested, turns a
half sommersault and lands on his
back, caught by the leg his captor has
named. Securing the lines, the man
dismounts and runs toward his prey
1t struggles fiercely but the pony is far
too well trained to let the bull rise, and
with tightening of the lariat neatly
tolls any attempt. The captured fore
leg is quickly made fast to hind leg
and then the cowboy holds up his hand
to show that it is completed. The
judges having pronounced that the IN
nimal is properly secured, the time
taken to accomplish the feat is entered,
and another man tries his skill. The
roping contests lasted until $50 P. NJ.
The twilight comes at last. Dusk is
soon followed by darkness and hardly
has it fallen when the strains of rude
music announces the opening of the
great social feature of the day, the ball
The ball room is the new opera house.
AT one end of the hall on the stage sit
the musicians. There are three of
them, all Mexicans, one playing a
squeaky fiddle, the others two guitars,
all of them wear their hats and smoke
cigarettes as they play. There are
about 20 girls, about the same number
of older women complete the feminine
contingent, and all are in demand, for
the men number hundred or more.
The men are all dressed for the occa-
sion, each in the manner that suits his
fancy. Many retain their spurs, in
which they are popularity supposed to
sleep. Dance follows in rapid success
sion; the measured pounding of the
feet as they noisely caper over the re-
sounding floor almost browns the
music. Dancing is enjoyed until nearly
day break, when the company dis
persed. Horses are saddled, blankets
unrolled, and soon, save for the bowling
of the coyotes, the little village is
silent.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure,
etc. They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation
of undigested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
