Cuban Postal AfYnirs.

Recent developments in the Cuban
postoffice troubles show that the re-
trenchments made by Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster-G Bristow were
imperatively demanded by Postmas-
ter-General Smith some months ago,
when he ordered that Il system of re-
form should be Immediately COM
menced in order that the expenses
might then be reduced. President Me
Kinley had ordered both the Directs
General of Posts ana the Governor
General of Cuba To obtain the approval
of the Postmaster-General upon all
acquisitions which showed deficiency
in postal management there. While
reports have been made monthly to
the Governor-General, not single re-
port ever reached Postmaster General
Smith, so in January last he began
TO investigate matters on his own nc.
count. finding that the expenditures
We're far I'm excess of the receipts. He
then ordered retrenchment. but was
not obeyed.

Who is Responsible o

A Rochester correspondent sends us the
following sad story, the narrowing details
OF which the papers of that city recently
printed.
In Rochester coal driver, earning $3.50
day. whose family consisted of his wife
and three children, two girls. aged ten
and three, and baby boy of twelve
months. Through the winter scarcely Il
dollar OF this mans earnings went to pro-
vide for the necessities of his family
In spite OF the toll of the wife there has
been neither fuel for the fire nor food for
the table, day after day Meager crusts
OF bread broken into three fragments have
made the suppers for the little ones, while
the wife went fasting, because his earnings
have gone to swell the profits of the sa-
loonkeeper.
On Tuesday morning. April 3, with
neither coal nor bread in the house, the
poor woman, worse than a widow. beca1se
her husband was not dead listened to the
cries OF her children for food, and sent the
little ten-year-old girl to the grocer to buy
loaf of bread on credit. The credit was
refused; she owed a bill of sls9 there.
"No more bread without cash" said the
grocer. Driven by the cries of her little
ones the woman herself went to the gro
Gerry, and although the grocer would sell
her nothing on credit he gave her out of
pity loaf of black bread. With that
alone for food, in the chilled, cherries
rooms of their tumbledown hom/ the chill
dren and their mother lived unit. noon.
Driven to desperation, the sorrowing
woman, on the frayed tablecl,th where
lay the last morsel of the black bread.
penned this note to her husbs nd: Il had
no money and could buy no bread and
had nothing left to do but TO take my
children and go where the nunger could
not pain us. | was refused credit and
could no longer stand the terrible poverty
that | have endured for years. | was weak
and it was all too much for me. / hope 1
will be forgiven for my act, but if my
heart could be seen the act would not be
called a crime. | am sorry, but | cannot
prevent it now. 1t is too late
Then taking her little ones the back
room of their miserable home she lifted
the cover from the cistern. threw them in
and plunged in herself-and they found
them there, all dead.
Still, who cares? The saloon must thrive.

nurseries for American seamen who

nurseries for American seamen who
would be ready to respond to their
country's call If needed.
No wonder, in these circumstances,
Mr.. Edmonds in his speech made it
very clear that the revival of our for
eign-going shipping is not sectional
or partisan question, but is purely
industrial, commercial and auxiliary
navy question. He said: "Originating,
as the South is already doing, about
$4OO, 100000 worth Of foreign exports
year, shipped almost exclusively in
vessels that fly the British, German and
other foreign flags, the South may well
be deeply concerned in the upbuilding
of merchant marine because Of the
magnitude of it's present export trade"
This trade he expected would rapidly
multiply, and he predicted cotton
crop in the not distant future of 1O0,-
100000 bales.
1t Is not surprising to find that both
of the great political armies are now
vying with each other in their esrousal
of an American Merchant Marine.
That the representative men in both
parties have formally and finally re-
jected the suggestion of Stree ships
which means the purchase Of British
instead of American built ships for our
maritime needs-may be taken as an
indication of both the conservatism
and progressiveness which augurs well
for early effective and permanent leg
islation in behalf of our too long neg
lected shipping upon the seas. 1t is
this unanimity of sentiment that is
converging upon demand for such
legislation that will have become so
insistent and imperative as to compel
such legislation at the next session of
Congress.

whom they are personally acquainted, but
The club is especially directed toward sup
pressing the evil among the young men of

On first offence-that is, the first dis
covered offence--a card is sent to the
young man informing him that he has
been seen entering a certain saloon at
certain hour on certain day. and if the
offence is repeated he can consider him
self ostracized by the good society of Great
Bend The club members are pledged
never to tell an outsider the name of the
offender, but if the offence is repeated
they make his name public in q little

A Tendency Toward sobriety.

The growth of sobriety among the work.

features of the social conditions of to-day,
and it has been enforced bv the immense
development in the responsibilities of daily

THE A
II Should BE of Ample Proportions,
Artistically Ornamented and
Kept with Care.

There is perhaps nothing else
which better indicates the breadth OF
a farmers conceptions of the esthetic
things of life than the size of his
yard. If it be small and crowded his
mind may be comparable Herewith.
If it be large and we'll kept it may be
taken as evidence of his artistic
ideals. For the ideal yard is a large
one-not a 4O-acre field, of course
but a comfortably large area planted
to native trees and sodded in blue or
lawn grass
1t has been said that an acre makes
the ideal yard. 1t should be nicely
fenced and kept moved during the
growing season. 1t may be pastured
occasionally, but this is not a good
practice. The wood pile should not
occupy a place in the yard, as is COM
monty noted, nor should unsightly
heaps Of rubbish, ETC., mar its beauty.
Have a liberal yard, give it liberal
care, take a liberal view of life, be
liberal to all the things about you
and nature will deal literally with
you. Don't be fenced in by a stingy
yard, a yard so small that when you
step out at the kitchen door you are
in the horse lot. And don't have
"sheep paths" through the large yard.
Have a nice gravel walk or several
walks leading to the front gate and
to the barn-yard gate, as well, per
