official figures regarding the revenues OF

Senator Elkins Of West Virginia. who ad

their power to contract debts; provides that
the United States may intervene to protect
life and property on the island. and even
claims the right for the United States to
jointly look after the sanitation of the
island.
I'VE owe it to the people of Cuba to re-

by the Platt amendment, and the best way
to do this Is to invite them to become

An Advertising Moral.

Once upon a time , a donkey
fell into Il deep hole, and after
nearly starving caught sight OF
a passing fox, and implored the
stranger TO help him out.
Il am too small to aid you, .
said the fox, "but l will give
you some advice. Only a few
rods away is big, strong ele-
plant. Call to him and he will
get you out in jiffy."
After the fox had gone the
donkey thus reasoned: 1 am
very weak from want of nour.
ishment. Every move | make
is just so much additional loss
of strength. If l raise my voice
to call the elephant l shall be
weaker yet. No, 1 will not
waste my substance that way.
1t is the duty of the elephant
to come without calling"
So the donkey settled him
self back and evidently starv.
ed to death.
Long afterwards Sthe fox, on
passing the hole, saw within a
white skeleton. ard remarked:
IF it be that the souls of an
imals are transmigrated into
men, that donkey will become
one of those merchants who
can never afford to ADVERTISE"
