For years and years before our boys
in blue invaded Cuba there were two
candlestlcks on the altar In the chapel
Of old Cabanas, one Of the outer forts
protecting the city Of Havana. This
fort was used as a prison principally
for Cuban patriotsl, as well as for de-
fense.
When a patriot was ordered to be
shot he was allowed time to go to the
little chapel In the fort and say his
prayers before the altar, after which
he was taken out and executed. II
would be idle TO speculate as to the
number Of poor fellows who had thus
offered up their prayers before these
candlesticks and then gone out to their
death.
The body Of the candlestick is wood,
covered with a plaster Of paris deco
ration and then gilded. The candle"
is Of wood, with an imitation dripping
Of wax down the side. The "wlck"
is In reality a small nail driven in at
the top.
The one from which this illustration
was made is In Brooklyn, while the
other Is In Detroit, Mich.

"Have you ever noticed how many

DON'T KNOW WHAT ALLIED MARY.


When John Dalton came back from
the asylum where he had gone to place
his wife, his neighbor, Perry, met him
al the station and went home with him.
that he might not enter the empty house
alone. The old man was stunned and
dazed.
i don't know what allied Mary" he
said, DULY. You see how clean and
snug this house is? She always kept
things so. Up before dawn, milking
and baking and washing. Same thing
done at the same hour, year in and year
out. She hadn't complained of sickness
for forty years. Then. all at once. she
began talking of an iron band around
her jaws and queer pains in her head"
She seldom went TO town, did she?"
asked Perry.
Never, hardly. I'm not much Of a
hand for gadding about to no purpose.
She used TO want TO go to church Sun
days, but didn't just like to hitch UP
when there was no work to do. But
wish now I'd done that for Mary"
She didn't visit much with the neigh
bors, either, did she?" asked Perry.
NO. That was my doing, too. When
the days work is done, l want to put
on my slippers and rest, and then to
bed, and not 60 skirmishing about or
having lot Of company in"
He was silent while. 81 don't know
what allied Mary" he said again. "She
would sit looking at nothing, straight
ahead of her, by the hour, and then cry
and cry, yet always saying she had no
trouble. And she got weaker every day,
and then her mind went altogether. s 2
didn't know me, nor even her own
name"
she will be cured in that sanitarl-
um?' said Perry, cheerfully, "and come
home well in the spring" He watched
his old neighbor furtively a while, and
then said:
do you know, Dalton, some years
ago my wife and daughter got peevish
and irritable. | thought the steady
work and loneliness were telling on
them. So got that parlOr organ, and
paid for years lessons for Susy. We
had music and singing every evening,
and the young folks would gather in
with their reading clubs. Then took
two or three papers; my wife is main
hand for guessing the riddles. And
once a year took her an Susy up to
town for a week"
YES" said Dalton, dryly. you spent
a lot Of money, I've heard"
ITS bringing me In good interest"
They sat In silence while. Then
Perry put his hand on the old mans
knee. when she comes back, If she
ever does come, I'd open up life for her
a bit, Dalton. You know how 1t is with
potatoes. You plant the best kind in
good ground, and they yield splendid
crops for year or two. Then they be-
gin to dwindle and rot"
.'Of course the ground runs out They
need new soil"
Yes. You plant them In different
lot. and they yield big, healthy crops.
Human beings are like them, Dalton.
You've got to renew the soil, give them
fresh food for their minds, or they'll
dwindle and rot"
Dalton did not speak for long time.
"There's something in it" he said, final

chance."-Youth's Companion
