AFRAID OF BEING KISSED.
stsever Story OF a Man, a Maid and
an Iron Kettle.

ssever Story OF Man, Maid and
an Iron Kettle.
Here is an ingenious Circassian sto-
ry: A man was walking along one
road and a woman along another. The
roads finally united, and the man and
the woman, reaching the junction at
the same time, went on from there to-
gether. The man was carrying large
iron kettle on his back. In one hand
he held by the leg live chicken, in the
other a cane, and he was leading a.
goat. Just as they were coming to q
deep, dark ravine the woman said to
the man:
II am afraid to go through that dark
ravfne with you. 1t is lonely place,
and you might overpower me and kiss
me by force"
''1f you are afraid of that" said the
man, '"'yOu shouldn't have walked with
me at all. How can l possibly over
come you and kiss you by force when
have this great iron kettle on my back,
a cane in one hand and live chicken
in the other and am leading a goat?
might as we'll be tied hand and foot
~'Tes." replied the woman. "but If
YOU should stick your cane in tine
ground and tie the goat to it and turn
the kettle bottom side up and put the
chicken under it. then you might wick
eddy kiss me in spite of my resist
ance''
Success to thy ingenuity. 0 wom

never have thought of this expedient-"
And when they came to the ravine he
stuck his cane into the ground and
tied the goat to it. gave the chicken to
the woman. saying. Hold it while
cut some grass for the goat" and then,
lowering the kettle from his shoulders.
he wickedly kissed the woman. as she
was afraid he would.-Stray Stories.

Casting Metals.

As is well known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
like iron, can readily be cast in any de-
sired shape. The property of casting
well is said to depend upon whether
the metal contracts or expands on So
lidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying. and
hence the solid metal may be seen
floating in the liquid iron about it. The
expansion causes it to fill the die into
which it is poured. and SO it can be
cast easily. Gold and silver contract
in cooling and therefore are not suita-
BILE for casting.

is particularly true in the case of

CONVENTION Is DULY ORGANIC

Form of the Oath the Members Took
Greeting to Mckinley and Wood.
The convention organized with
Senior Llorente, justice OF the supreme
court, as president, and Senior Villuen-
do as secretary. The following oath
was then administered: .s~,e veg. '<~
eve, delegates elected by the peo-
tiOnal convention, swear faithfully to
fulfill the duties of our office. We pup
licly and solemnly renounce allegiance
to or compact made with any state or
nation, whether made directly or indi-
rectly, swearing to the sovereignty of
the free and independent people of
Cuba and swearing to respect the So
luton this convention may adopt, as
well as the government established by
the constitution" All of the thirty one
delegates were present.
Senior Alleman, who said that the
convention was "only continuation of
the fight for independence" moved
that the regulations governing the old
Cuban assembly at Yaya in 1896 be
adopted. AS nobody seemed familiar
with them the convention adjourned
until today at p. m., when copies will
be furnished to the delegates. The
following resolutions were presented to-
the president of the convention Just
before adjournment and will probably
be adopted today. They were signed
by majority of the delegates as Sec
Onders:
THE undersigned delegates propose
that the constitutional assembly adopt
the following resolutions:
First. That a committee of the as
sembly proceed Immediately to cali on
General Wood and to manifest the sat
isfactiOn with which the delegates
have seen him carry out the difficult
mission entrusted to him.
Second. That the committee re-
quest General Wood to cable to the
president of the United States as fol-
lows:
1.-The delegates elected to the consti-
tutional convention assembled at their
inaugural meeting greet with profound
gratitude and affection the president
of the United States of America. and
they are satisfied with the honesty
demonstrated in the fulfillment of the
declarations made in favor Of liberty
and the independence of the Cuban
people,"

State Gives Mckinley About $50, 900 Over
Bryan-Bryan's Big Gain.

New York, Nov. AT this writing
the indications are that President Nc
Kinley has carried New York state by
a majority over Bryan Of about $780,
600, compared with Republican ma
jority in the last presidential election
of 26S, 400.
The total vote in the city of New
York is approximately 10000 larger
than it was in 1896, and up the state
the increase is about 10000. In the
city Bryan wiped out the plurality of
10000, which Mckinley had four years
ago, and took on a plurality for him
self Of about $4,000. Up the state Nc
Kinley barely held the vote which he
had in 1896, the added vote going to
Bryan. The vote for B. B. Odeu. Jr.
Republican nominee for governor is
considerably larger than that for Nc
Kinley.
The election passed off quietly both
in the city and state. There were no
more than the usual number of arrests
of men accused of attempting illegal
voting at city precincts and where the
accused made it clear that they were
innocent, they were permitted to re-
turn to the polling places and vote
without further molestation. Returns
from congressional districts are scat
tering and incomplete.

what in your opinion ought to be the
relations between Cuba and the United

''rhe constitution must be adequate

United States will doubtless take sucn
action on it's part as shall lead to
final and authoritative agreement De-
tween the people of the two countries
to the promotion of their common in
terests. s. The fundamental
distinction between true representative
government and q dictatorship is that
in the former every representative OF
the people in whatever Office, confines
himself strictly within the limits OF his
defined powers. Without such restraint
there cannot be free constitutional

ant to which you have been electeda and
convened YOU have no duty and no au-
