the rank of lieutenant, but was soon
transferred to the firing line and for
two years saw much hard fighting I'M
der General Gomez, participating IN
many filibustering expeditions. He
was twice captured by the Spaniards,
once being confined until he was physi-
cally Frustrated. Ill health compelled
him to resign and he left the Cuban
army with the rank of captain and
brevet major. When the war with
Spain broke out Major Fayling raised
the first company from Ohio at his own
expense and offered it to the govern
ment. He was elected captain of his
company, but saw no fighting.
At the time of the flood Major Fay
ling had been the southern agent OF a
New York corporation with headquar-
tiers in Galveston. When Galveston
was placed under martial law he be-
came its sole governor for the time
being.
OF the forty-three persons whom Ma
jor Fayling personally rescued, all
were saved by hard swimming or wad-
ing out into the water. When the storm
broke Major Fayling had gone down
to the beach to get view of the sea.
AS the hurricane increased in fury he
started to return to his office. He found
that he had to swim and wade in an
average of five feet of water, and was
kept busy lodging live wires. 1t was
almost impossible to stand against the
wind. Reaching his Office he threw of
his clothing, and putting on bathing
suit was ready for work.
An exciting episode of that night was
when fifteen tramps and negroes stray
ed into a building in which the major
had placed some women and children
whom he had rescued The gang
planned to steal the boat in which Ma
jor Fayling purposed to convey the
refugees to a place OF safety Major
| Fayling had a six-shooter and Win
chester at hand and placed the gang
under arrest, stationing his servant
over them as 8 guard. He later did
good work in hunting out the ghouls
who were mutilating human bodies to
obtain jewelry and valuables, and 1t
was at his orders that many of these

The advantage of having an UNI

one, but there are few persons who are
systematic enough to go to the trouble
of having this done. A scheme has
just been devised by resident of this

A Corner on Cabbages.

For years Higgins enjoyed the repu-
tation of being the most chronic prac-
teal joker in the club. No one was
proof against his conspiracies, and
there were but few indeed who had
not, at one time Or another, felt the
keen edge of a trick that was directly
traceable to him.
Many of his fellow members looked
upon this trait of Higgins as mania,
and his reformation or cure, whichever
you may prefer to call it, although
sudden and dramatic, was none the
less welcome to his former victims.
Mabel Montgomery was the undoing
OF Higgins, and as the result MISS
MontgOmery's name is written near
the top on the clubs roll of honor.
1t was the witty Richards, 1 believe,
who likened the young lady to mas
ter painting in a heavy frame. A tall,
graceful girl, with large, deep blue
eyes, in whose 1iquod depths mis-
chievous, merry twinkle always lin
gers, black hair that falls in ebon
rivulets over an alabaster neck and
perfect shoulders, a mouth that curves
upward slightly at the ends and seems
to be ever on the verge of laughing,
teeth that-but why particularize? In
short, everything that is essential to
a beautiful face and fgure-that is the
painting!
The only child of an indulgent
father. who spends his time in idoliz-
ing his daughter and vainly attempting
to compute his wealth as fast as it
accumulates-that constitutes the
frame, which completes a combination
which is hard for any ambitious man
to resist.
And Higgins was ambitious.
So, as a matter of course, he fell in
love with Mabel Montgomery-deepl
madly in love. During the earlier
stages of his courtship, there were nu-
merous other suitors for Miss Mont
gomery's hand. but for some reason

Queer rreaL. of Nltro-Grycer,ne.

Nitro-glycerine would make a fatal
list of any man. 1t is a substance that
is likely to do almost anything except
what is predicted of it. A ten-quart
can of it had been dropped off the roof
of a house with no disastrous results.
while it is on record that man, in
passing a can that had been emptied
and that was lying beside forest
path, struck it with his walking stick
and was promptly blown into a neigh
boring treetop. Instances are numer-
GUS where workmen have "thawed
out" the erratic fluid by standing the
cans on top of hot stove and have
continued to eat three meals a day
and yet the dropping of a piece of hot
iron into tub of water in which such
cans had been standing wrecked a
building and an adjoining oil derrick.

OF the original George Washington,
where are we at?
prefer not to be msrepresented
over this great and good district by the
circulation of such falsehood. Mr..
Sieber is unworthy of denominations
because of his misrepresenting public
sentiment and by his vote denying to
the electors of this district the inherent
and inalienable right to decide for
themselves whether they want saloons
in their neighborhood or not. Never
in the history of Ohio Legislation has
there been such defiant vote cast in
violation of political and governmental
rights and Republican doctrinal usage
than was Sieber's vote against tine
right TO Local Optional betrayal vote
cast at the behest and demand of the
saloon interests and against public
welfare and public morality. 1t is no
part of my duty, nor that of any
other Republican, to vote for such a
candidate upon Republican ticket.
The Republican party management
had better consider that with dona-
ton of ten million dollars in reduc-
,lon of the tax upon the product of the
brewercs; with the defeat of Local
Option, in the interest of saloons:
with the serious charge that this
state of political affairs has been
brought about by party leaders-that
with all these burdens there is made
IA sufficient handicap without further
offending thousands of the best people
III this district by asking them also
to carry Sieber.
y very large majority of the Repub-
leans Of this district believe in the
right of Local option, and to enjoy
this right they will demand faith
ful representative III the Senate.
