who has just returned from there. He
is thoroughly Disguised with the out
look, and complains of the ingratitude
of the Cubans. The Cubans haye for
gotten that there ever was an engage
ment at San Juan Hill, he says, and few
of them recall the glorious victory of
the American fleet over Cervera's ships
July 3, 1898. Everything that the Amer
leans have done to improve the island
and help the inhabitants is forgotten.
Instead Of anything like a feeling of
try the Cubans have transferred to us,
with heavy interest, all their old-time
hatred for Spain. OF course this senti-
ment is not general among all the peo-
pile but 1t is the feeling of the revolu-
tionary party, which is dominant in
Cuba. These brigands, for they are
nothing else, have decided to go to any
extreme to cause the United States gov
eminent and United States capitalists
to become dlsgusted with the island
They want us to abandon Cuba to them,
so that they can entrench themselves
in the custom house and other money
centers. That Is their sole object, and
their cry about independence amounts
to nothing.
This is not encouraging, but it should
be remembered that we didn't go to
Cuba for gratitude. We went there to
do our plain duty.

PROFITA BILE ADVERTISING,

The value of advertising has been
well shown in Massachusetts in the re-
duction of the number of abandoned
farms In that State. When the State
Board of Agriculture began publishing
it's lists Of such properties nine years
ago there were surprising number of
them. Seven hundred and ten in all
have been advertised, but so large has
been the demand for them that only 1856
are now announced for sale in the Of
fetal catalogue. No less than 300 have
been sold, while ia have been with
drawn from the market. One hundred
and twenty farms were purchased for
farming purposes, and twenty-six for
homes. That is, many persons are in
a position to provide themselves with
comfortable dweling-place amid
quiet surroundings who do not care to
make farming pay.
The title abandoned farms" will not
be used any more The State Board of
Agriculture calls them farms In Mas
sachusetts for sale at low price in
proportion to cost Of buildings and pro-
ductive capacity That the farms al
ready sold have not proved unsatsfac-
tory is indicated In the report OF the
board that only six purchasers who re-
piled to an inquiry on the subject said
that they We're not content with their
bargain.

Chicago has SO many things that 1t Is
not at all surprising that she has "a

is her mayor, and the information that
he is man of destiny comes straight
from him, and he surely ought to know.

humping his breast, the mayor de-
clared: eff you will read the history

The Boston Pilot says: In a Chinese
play, when one Of the characters is
killed he falls down, then gets up, bows
and goes off, murmuring that he is
dead. How childish Now in our
plays, when a man is killed he does not
get up until the curtain falls Then he
comes before the 1ootlights, holding his
slayer by the hand, both of them smil-
ing at the deeply moved audience. Our
''asides' also are wonderfully realistic,
as when an actor explains audibly to
the people in the gallery that he is de-
ceiving another actor two feet away
The Chinese certainly are dreadfully
behind the times.

AS almost the only way of reaching the
homes of the camp Indians Is through
the girls school, and as they are to be
the future wives and mothers, the fate
of the generations to come Is in large
measure in their keeping. Therefore
the opportunity for training them in
the duties of their future state should
not be neglected. Since her appoint
ment twenty-six months ago she has
spent seventeen months in the field
inspecting the schools and ascertaining
by personal observation the needs of the
Indians and the service. She reports
increased enrolment, better accommo-
dations, greater facilities for Industrial
training and gratifying improvements
over previous years A strong plea Is
made for compulsory education.

veteran of the Civil War, and repre-
sents the amount of his quarterly PEN
sion for wounds received In 81. He Is
an employee Of the Philadelphia Mint
and has been sending these remit
tances regularly since the breaking out
Of the Spanish War. He explained in
his first letter that as long as the gov
eminent employed him at good salary
he would not accept the pension money,
and that he wanted 1t used in paying
for the expenses of the war against
Spain. BY adopting this course rather
than giving up his pension altogether,
the Philadelphia veteran protects HIM
self with regard to the future Should
adversely overtake him, or should he be
dismissed, he would then have his PEN
sion to fall back on.
