FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
The Long, Desperate Struggle That
Brought Cuban independence.
1t Began Almost with the First Set
tlemcnt of the Spaninrds in the Is-

Cuban History.

UBA'S fight for freedom from
Spanish rule may be said to have
begun almost before the Dons
became masters OF the island.
When, in 1911, the son of Co.
lumbus determined to take pos,
session of Cuba in the name OF
Spain he selected Diego Nelas-
quez to command an advance
guard, as it were, of some 300
men. This force met with vir-

but the beginning of a negro riot that could
be suppressed within a short time proved to
be the final conflict for Cuban freedom, a
conflict that has waged on sea and land for
more than century.

his mandolin. In all the months he
had come to the Moberly house, this
was the first time he had ever seen
the little, white-haired man who lived
there. And who was that pretty
brown-haired girl with flashing eyes?
Alice broke the silence. 'AIy sister
Polly, Mr.. Bryant" she said, a little
nervousIy, ''and-my father. And
this is our old friend, Eva Brent. Pa,
you know Eva?"
Pa nodded cordially; so did Polly.
But something wholly unusual was in
the air, and every one felt it.
Polly led Pa MOberly up to the
young man reclining in the chair.
do you mind taking another chair.
Mr.. Bryant?'' she said, pleasantly
''YOu see, this one Is pas favOrite.
Ma gave 1t to him.
Alice and Belle and Harriet flushed,
but Polly was quite undisturbed- The
young man was astOnished, but he
rose quickly, with a stammered apOl-
Ogy, and Polly calmly wheeled the
chair nearer the pleasant fire.
''Sit here, pa" she said, affection
ately, ''and let me turn the light so it
won't hurt your eyes"
She adjusted the light to her liking,
then pushed Pa MOberly gently into
his old place. His white hair shOne
in the lamplight, and his lips trem-
bIed.
''There!" said Polly, in a pleased
voice. Isn't that better2"
Regardless Of all OnloOkers, she
kissed the withered cheek; then she
turned TO the others.
$50 on with your playing, won't
you, Eva?'' she said, gently.
Nobody spoken then the young lady
turned to the piano and the restraint
was quickly over.
Pa MOberly's eyes grew moist. How
soft the chair was, and how comfort
able was the touch Of the little, firm
hand upon his shoulder!
And there was something else. He
knew and every one else knew that
his lonely hours in the old kitchen
were over.
Tomorrow the straight backed
wooden chair would be pushed back.
to be occupied no more. The FIRE
light could play on the dingy walls,
the mice could scamPer at VIII over
the floor. Pa MOberIy would not be
there to see Polly had come home to
take care of kim, and Polly was
brave It was as if Ma MoberIv had
come TO life again--YOuth's COmpan-
ion.

Why, it would break her heart

As they left the dark kitchen to-

hand tightly. I'm afraid, Polly" he
whispered. WED better not"
But Polly only squeezed his hand in
a reassuring clasp, and somehow Pa
MOberly felt stronger
Polly opened the sitting-rOOm door,
and stream Of light flashed out into

and was stunning it to the young
lady's accompaniment. Alice and
Belle and Harriet were sitting about
with the Iiveliest air of enjoyment.
As Polly and Pa Moberly entered,
their cOmplacency faded into aston
ishment and dismay. What did Polly
mean, and what did pa mean, by in
truding on their company in this
fashion?
Polly advanced steadily into the
center OF the room, still holding her
fathers hand.
How little and shy and bent pa

determined was the air Polly wore

ANECDOTE OF DIR. TALMAGE.
Wouldn't BE Convinced by Seminary
President That He Had Mistaken
His Calling.

DR.. Talmage's view of ministerial
dignity was always so divergent from
that OF the old line, black rObed d.
vines of the Reformed Dutch church
that it was a matter of surprise to
many of his friends that he chose
that communion at the start of his
career, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
One Of the traditions of Herzog Hall
theological seminary, in New Bruins
wick, where he graduated, runs like
this:
"Talmage was an ungainly young
ster, full OF originality as an egg is
Of meat, but he did not commend him
self to the professors of the sem
mary as budding clergyman After
he had preached his first sermon
there, good old DR.. De Witt, the
president, thought the time had
come 10 have a serious talk with the
young man. He took him away where
no one else could listen to their col
loquy and said:
AR Talmage, I never like 10 dis
courage anybody, and rarely say
what am going to say to you You
are intellectually bright enough.

waste your time
'Talmage simply insisted that he
would 60 on and graduate. He did.
And before his pulpit career was end

the story down IN New Brunswick

Seventh Day Adventists Sure the

Seventh Day Adventists Sure the
World is Nearing Its End.
The Seventh Day Adventists again are
stirring parts Of the West by their proph-
ecy that the end of the world is close at
l,and. Their beliefs are now being spread
in Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa, where
many big meetings have been held in the
past month. A two weeks camp meet
ing recently came to an end in Lincoln,
Neb.
The membership of the sect is now
about $4,000, principally in INC West, al
though missionary xor!s has been pushed
for a score OF years elsewhere. The CEN
tiers of the propaganda now are Lincoln
and Battle Creek, Mich.
In 1874 Europe was invaded, and a
great deal of the Scandinavian ard Nor
wegian emigration to the West came as
a result of these missionary efforts. In
1885 a church was established in Austria
LA. Publications IN thirty-seven different
languages are nov circulated, among
them some of the dialects Of the South
Pacific.
The Adventists do not fix afy definite
date for The end Of the world. They
base LhelE pIehlNilNH hpoh tie lAVphefS
Of Daniel, in which it was SAID that in
200 days the sanctuary would be cleaH-
Ell. 4 day means i year they say. and
the 2.300 years ended in 1914, tue .ear
set by Miller for the end Of the world.
The mistake Of tile Adventisls If 1874
pertained to the nature Of the event then
to occur and not tc the time, they say
What took place then. they believe, was
the beginning Of the Day Of Judgment
When that is over the world will end.
