A CUBAN TEACHERS ENGLISH.


The intelligent struggles Of the Gu
ban teachers with English have fur
nished US with a good many pretty
stories. One day, not long ago, the
teachers were invited to some sort of
an evening function at the Longfellow
house on Brattle street. 1t happened
that shortly before the hour for the
assembly some ladies who were in front
of that house were politely approached
by a group of male Cuban teachers,
who,, with their hats in their hands,
stood bowling.
IF you please, dear madams," said
their spokesman. eve are invited at
this house tonight. We wish to attend.
We were been on an excursion to the
distance, and have not the time to go
to our house. SO that we wear. as you
see, our day dress. Perhaps you can
tell Us If it would be permitted to us
to go to the reception in our day dress
If 1t would not. then certainly shall we
take the time to go to our house and
put on our night dress!"
The ladies assured them that they
would do much better to go as they
were than to put on their night dress
and they bowed gravely and gratefully
and withdrew.-From the Boston Tran.

to the War.

Now have been through Natal and the

while, on the other hand. / am prepared
to prove that the explosive bullets and

explosive and dum-du cartridges. I

As to the white flag, why. there was

he opened his mouth once more to put
forth such dastardly suggestions he would

In concluding l have only to say that
the war stands as 1t does owing to the
ignorance and simplicity displayed by the
Beer Generals of the modern tracks OF

The Latest in Apartment houses.

The latest innovation in New York
apartment houses is a combination OF
hotel and private dwelling. There are
the usual suites on each floor, and, in
addition, a number of bedrooms fur
nished by the owner of the house, and
rented by the night or week to occu-
pants of flats who have friends visiting
them. This experiment has proved i'm
mensely successful. landlords say, and
the side line of guest chambers is sure
to be included In every well regulated
apartment building hereafter.
