 Such remarks as smoke up ands your pipe is out" were hurled at him from all | sides of the room. Any one who mas

They fight one another as if deadly enemies fin the gathering Of news, torment each other with vicious sallies of wit when one is 'scooped" but when the clock strikes and the nights work is done there is no kindlier heart for his fellow-man tha that which beats in the breat of the night police reporter.
 You fellows can make all the fun you want to-" said tres reporter who caused the outbreak of hilarity, but l. tell you again that a person can commit suicide .unconsciousy or by accident. I'll prove. it to you by relating a little story in which I was the central figure. My pa- per called me into the office one night some years ago and the city editor told me to catch the first train for Des Moines. There had been a mysterious murder committed in a small town near there and the local correspondent was up against the real thing. l was there two or three days, and it was while returning to Chi cago that had the strangest experience of my life.
 "On account of long years at night work 1t is hard for me to change my sleeping hours, and when I occasionally take d flyer out of town l never ride in the sleeper On the night I was coming back from Des Mones l was In the smoking car day or two before that there had been q train hold-up somewhere in Mis- souri, and as I fell into a doze about , o'clock In the morning I was thinking what would I do If robbers should att tack the train.

They sat a few seats In front.

Mr. McHlN\ey's Cuban poIAcy

Cuba, not to destroy it. One of the vers greatest of the early statesmen of the Re public declared that capability for self government requires long training, and cannot be acquired in a, night. He was speaking of the then newly emancipated South American colonies.
 They were not, he declared, fitted for self-government, and would not be for a long course of years The experience of more than half a century proves that, so far as many of these so-called republics are concerned he was clearly right. Nearly every one of them has been, from the date of it's independence to the pres- ent hour, under the rule of military
 usurpers and dictators. and not constitu- tionally elected presidents. Their history Is one long record of conspiracy and revo- lution, confscation of property and pub lie and private ruin. The rights of the many have been trampled upon by the few. and the majority of their people are very little advanced in point of civiliza- | ton beyond that of their fathers three generations ago. Cuba must give guarantees that her | future will not be filled with the trage- dies that have stained the governments of the Southern half of the continent. She must place the United States in the
 position of being able to maintain her independence as against any power that may threaten 1t. On more than one oc- cason the country has been on the, verge of war on account of some of our con tinental sister republics. One war for Cuba is all that we should be asked to undertake. Sound policy commands that Cuba shall be protected against herself, and that we shall be protected against Cuba.
