Havana, Maine 20.-The Cuban re-

this Information to be transmitted

destruction of the old Maine, is re.

calculated to revive question which
could have undesirable results.

outcome OF the new industry which
the Spanish minister would have the

Things That the Girls in a Church
Choir Do.

Two mischievous girls who are
members of a church in town not far
from Fairmont, recently figured in a
laughable incident which is quite
good enough to bear repeating.
In some way, known only to them
selves, they became possessed Of the
subject of the minister's Sunday SER
mon, and thereupon set about select
ing hymns in harmony with the
theme. Sunday morning they were
on hand bright and early, looking
innocent enough to deceive a brace
OF Pinkerton detectives.
One OF them seated herself at the
organ and played Faint yet pur-
suing" which was sung as a volu-
tary. Then the minister arose, and
consulting the list which had been
given him, called for number 395
The choir sang almost Persuaded. 4"
The minister arose and announced
the theme, "Courtship and Marriage"
read the lesson and called the next
hymn, The choir sang, Triumph
at Last" and the congregatjonbe-
gan to look amused. SAfter prayer
sing 201" said the minister, and in
his petition asked that the spirit OF
levity, which possessed some OF his
hearers, be banished, The choir then
san "Hasten Lord the Glorious Day"
and everybody laughed.
Even the minister had difficulty in
sitting u smile when the choir struck
up "Behold the Bridegroom Cometh"
and the congregation became posi-.
lively hilarious as the organ pealed
out the opening notes OF "What shall
the Harvest Be?'
And throughout those wicked girls
preserved their expression OF sanity
innocence and afterwards decided
that it was the most peculiar and
striking coincident they ever heard
OF.

Russia May Have War on Hand.

Stockton, March 16.-With their
fingers on the trigger Of war Sweden
and Norway stand to-day united
nation ready at any moment to give
combat to Russia, their Joint foe.
Whether the predicted and long ex-
pected combat comes depends on
Russia and il that country decides on
war, this spring may see the opening
OF hostilities. That such a war would
be a long and bitter struggle none
will deny and the twin nations believe
they are ready.
Hints at secession or civil war be
tween the nations under King Oscar
are said here to be only to give an
excuse for strengthening the arma-
ment OF each. Now, with powerful
force ever waiting the cali, the two
are ready for Russia's decision. The
possible casus belli is that in the win
ter of 19O1-O2 a Norwegian magis-
trate went into Russian territory

connection with quarrel between

although illegal, has been allowed by

A Calf Path.

One day through the primeval wood.
A calf walked home, as good calves should;
But made trail all bent sskew;
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And, infer, the calf is dead;
But still he left behind his trail.
And thereby hangs my mora; tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep;
And drew the dock behind him, too,
AZ good bell-wethers always do;
And from that day, Ger hid and glade,
Through those old woods trail was made.
And many men wound In and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words OF righteous wrath,
Because twas such crooked path.
But still they fsllowsd-do not laugh
The nrst migrations OF that calf;
As through this winding woodwsy stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became lane,
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became road,
Where many poor horse with his load
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles In one;
And for q century and q half
They troi the footsteps OF that calf.
The years past on in swlftness fleet,
The road became village street;
And this, before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this,
ora renowned metropolis;
And men, two centuries and half,
still tired the footsteps of that calf
Each day hundred Thousand rout
Followed the zizzag calf about;
And Ger his crooked pathway went
The trsfic of a continent
A hundred thousand men were led
by one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years day.
For thus such reverence is lent
To well established precedent.
We're ordained and called to preach.
A moral lesson this might teach.
For men are prone to go 1t blind
Along the calf paths OF the mind;
And work awayt from sun to sun,
To do what other men have done.

Was This Doctor a Ouack?

We recall the case Of an unhappy
wretch who came to Washington some
years ago, imploring the doctors to re-
leve him of a snake which he said
he had swallowed while drinking at
spring. ana which, as he violently
declared, was devouring the coats of
his stomach. One by one the learned
gentlemen examined him, satisfied
themselves that there was no snake,
as, indeed, there was not-and sent
him away with the solemn assurance
that he need not worry about 1t any
more.
He continued to worry, however,
and when at last he found n physician
who cared more about results than
etiquette he was on the verge of ac-
tual insanity. This great physician
soon perceived that he had to deal
with hallucination, not snake, and
proceeded accordingly. He employed
Il colored citizen and Il tin bucket
Two hours In Rock Creek Park
brought forth a garter snake OF small
size, but great activity, and an earnest
and Industrious emetic did the rest
The victim saw the snake wrgglng
In the bucket and went home happy.
1t Is part of the history of that period,
however, that the physician who
achieved the cure was loudly de-
nouneed as an outlaw, and consigned
to everlasting odium for unprofession-
al conduct.
We never heard that he lost the con-
iidence Of the public on that account,
however, and rs the fame and the
fortunes Of medical men are made by
their practical achievements and not
by the approval of their fellow doe
tors, we rather think he profited In the
