the ordinary family cannot afford bacon for break

with vengeance Every householder in the land is

EVIDENTLY women have reached the conclusion
that when it is possible for them to be sef-reant it
is foolish, and perhaps degrading, to depend upon
other people for bread and butter At least each
year more women become self-supportng A recent
report of the bureau shows that 81 per cent
of the spinsters of America work outside their own
homes for living The report also shows that So
per cent of divorced and 81 per cent Of the widowed
work to support themselves while but per cent OF
the married women compelled to do so.

In his noted speech on the i'm
parchment of Warren Hastings,
Sheridan, the great author, actor
and orator, referred to Gibbons
decline and Fall of Rome" as
"that most luminous work" A
few days later when Gibbon heard
of the eulogy his book had called
forth, he expressed his apprecia-
ton of the compliment, and
seemed pleased by the orators
praise. Sheridan, on being told
this, said in his archest manner:
Il said voluminous, not luminous
work. On one occasion when
Sheridan was at the Drury Lane
Theatre, of which he was the les

Wishing to avoid dun, the man.

REPORTS from Cuba are not encouraging for the
future Of the republic. Since the American evacua-
ton there has been gradual but steady gravitaton
toward misrule. The people seem too shiftless to
keep up the pace we set. Havana is no longer a
model city 1t is no longer sanitary It's streets are
beginning to be dirty, it's water polluted. Yellow
fever has reappeared and is making Roadway in it's
old stamping grounds, Havana and Santiago. The
initial impetus given by the Americans is weakening
before the habits of centuries and the people are
losing their enthusiasm and dearly bought sense of
responsibility One does not have to be a prophet
to fortell recrudesence Of revolution.
In short, the island republic is drifting toward
statehood. A few years hence it will have arrived

To have annexed Cuba at the conclusion Of the

their national territory until business principles
