FREE CUBA.
That Condition Will be Reached
Next June.

That Condition VIII be Reached
Next June.
War department officials believe that
the Cubans will be able to establish
their Independent form Of government
by May or June. This fact developed
in connection with the visit to Wash
.ington of General Wood, military gov
ernor Of the island.
The administration does not propose
to countenance any interference with
the natural progress Of events in this
direction, says the Washington corres-
pondent of the New York Press. While
it has been repeatedly urged that this
country was placing obstacles in the
way Of the Cubans In forming their
government, officials Of the department
say that the expressions of Secretary
Root, while he was in Washington last
week, show that the president and the
administration will do everything pos
sible to assist the Cubans in their work
they have in hand. The decision not to
promulgate a new tariff schedule Is an
indication of this. Secretary Root gives
as his reason for not promulgating
the recently prepared schedules, the
short time which will elapse before the
Republican form Of government Is IN
vogue.
While the new Cuban government
will follow its own wishes in the mat
ter there is nothing to prevent the
work of the tariff commission peing
turned to good advantage. Admins
tration officials say that the only delay
in forming the new government which
can in any way be attributed to the
United States is that occasioned by the
refusal Of the United States to accept
from the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton a modified form Of the Platt
amendment. In this it is urged the ex-
ecutive officers Of the government were
acting in line with their duty. 1t Is de-
MED that the location of coaling sta
tions and other provisions Of the
amendment which must be carried out
by the Cubans, will interfere with the
speedy organization Of the government.
General Wood said while in Washing
ton that he returned to Cuba at this
time to assist in carrying forward as
rapidly as possible the preliminaries to
the election of officers of the new re-
republic. He expected to issue the call
and instructions for the holding Of the
elections shortly after reaching the is
land.
What may develop in case the Cubans
find self-gevernment unsatisfactory
and are unable to maintain order and
preserve peace and carry on the ma
chinery of their government, is not dis
cused by officials in Washington.

Of the navy in the hope Of securing
what Is known as a "rerating Of his
papers.
How many more chances do you
want?" asked Secretary Long. This is
your third time" And before the
young man had a chance to answer, the
secretary continued: How do you ex-
pect to get along in the world when you
smoke so many cigarettes? Your
clothes are saturated with their odor.
Pull off your gloves and let me see your
fingers. There, see how yellow they
are!" pointing to the sides Of the first
and second fingers.
Before the young man could find his
tongue to offer an explanation the Sc
cretary asked him If he drank.
"Only once in q WHILE" was the re-
ply.
Secretary Long then invited the con-
gressman into his private Office and,
while offering to do everything that he
could consistently, added:
II am sick of trying to make any
thing Of these boys that are loaded
with cigarette smoke and drink once In
awhile They are about hopeless"
When they left the department build

for his poor showing, remarked,

A SCHOOL BOYS CoMPosrTIoN.-Water
is found everywhere, especially when 1t
rains, as it did the other day, when our
cellar was half full. Jane had to wear
her fathers rubber boots to get the
onions for dinner. Onions make your
eyes water, and so does horse-radish,
when you eat too much. There Is a
good many kinds of water in the
world-rain-water, soda-water, holy
water, and brine. Water is used for a
good many things. Sailors use it to
go to sea on. If there wasn't any ocean
the ship couldn't float and they would
have to stay ashore. Water is good
thing to fire at boys with squirt, and
to catch fish in. My father caught a
big one the other day, and when he
hauled it up it was an eel! Nobody
could be saved from drowning if there
wasn't any water to pull them out Of.
Water is first rate to put fires out with
1 love to go to fires and see the men
work at the engines. This is all I can
think Of about water-except the flood.

CANNoN's Corn SToRY.-Congressman
Joe" Cannon, of Illinois, is a man OF
strong likes and dislikes, and never does
anything by halves. In the list OF MS
likings, so far as culinary matters are
concerned. his fondness for green corn
takes first rank, and on this score ne
tells a good story at his own expense.
After a long sojourn in Washington
he returned home and started out TO
look after his political fences In MS
district. At small village hotel,
where he stopped for dinner, scanty
plate of fine roasting ears was placed
before him as a side dish. Immediate
" he abandoned the main bill-of-fare,
and applied himself exclusively to the
green corn. When the plate was de-
pleted he called for more roasting ears
and continued his feast until he had
made his entire meal from the staple
product Of the Illinoin prairies. The
hotel keeper noticed the array OF cobs
stacked upon the plate of the tall pol
itician, whose identity was unknown to
him, and said:
Say, stranger, what in thunder DO
YOU want to board at hotel for? The
place for you to put up is livery sta
BILE. Don't you know green fodder Is
dunn sighter cheaper in barn than in
a house?"
During the remainder of the cam
paign Congressman Cannon retailed
this story to his constituents-and
turned it to good account among the
corn growers.-Saturday Evening Post.
