Havana's Cemetery.

Havana's cemetery is typical of the
burying places of all Spanish-Ameri-
can countries. 1t consists of wall
eight to ten feet thick, honeycombed
with inches for the reception Of collins
and surrounding a plot Of land which
is never used for burial purposes, and
Is usually in a neglected condition. The
cemetery is run by the municipal au-
thorities and the inches are rented.
The payment required upon the seal
ing of one of these holes in the wall
insures an undisturbed resting place
for its contents for three or five years
from that time. according to the par
ucular custom of the locality. Then an
annual rental must be paid for Pc
Rod of 25 years, at the end Of which
time the tenant gets title in perpe-
tuity But how few ever find last
resting place in one Of these inches is
shown by the fact that, despite the
tremendous increase in population
since It was built two or three centu'
ries ago, the cemetery has never been
enlarged, and there are always plenty
OF vacancies. Upon default Of pay
ment of the rental the bones are raked
out Of the inche. and II is ready
for the next occupant. The bones ar<
placed In one corner of the cemetery
and there, at least, they lie undis
turbed through the passing years al
the pile constantly grows larger.

MoNocLEs IN KANSAS.
The Burning Ambition Of Senator T.
Duront Smith For Culture.


F. Dumont Smith, state senator
from the 3Sth district, is responsible
for the introduction Of the monocle
into the short grass section of Kansas.
MIR. Smith has prepared an ingenious
defense of his action, and, as he is a
candidate for reelection, it cannot be
known whether or not his defence Is
accepted until the votes of the district
in the November election are counted.
Senator Smith has been suspected for
several years of desire to introduce
genuine" culture into the prairie
country and his ability to wear mon
ocle has given him his opportunity.
Several years ago he took home with
him from Topeka package of blue
grass seed and had visions of a lawn
Of the finest Kentucky grass which
should extend from Great Bend to Sy-
racuse. His dream ended when the
last spear Of sicl1ly green grass with
cred Under the rays Of the July sun.
Now he believes he has set an exam
pie which will lead every COW punch
er in his district to adopt the monocle
and that in time It will be possible
for strangers to recognize resident
of the district by the character of glass
he wears.
Senator Smith says he has adopted
the monoclo because he believes that
he snould no longer delude his con-
stituents into believing that he has
two eyes. He says only one of his
eyes has rendered him any service for
years, and he knows no necessity for
wearing the two glasses. Mr.. Smith
says he has worn the monocle six
months, but, as he Is just returning
from Chicago, 1t is believed that he
adopted the reform in that city and is
waiting here for the news to reach the
short grass country. Then, II there is
too big an uproar, he can discard the
single glass and declare the story a
fabrication. Senator Smith was
asked today how his boom to succeed
Burton, in the United States senate is
progressing and told the following
story to illustrate It:
"My boom Is something like 'Bilp
gerous as II seemed. 'Bill' Sterret
had been drunk several days and
awolie one morning to find an ele-
phant IL his room. The animal was Of
enormous size. Its back touched the
ceiling and it so completely filled the
room that its trunk reposed on Bills
bed. Sterret never had had expert

creature. While he was trying to
solve the problem, the elephant
backed out of the room through the
keyhole. kansas City Star.

Firing at Unseen Marks.

How Rats Outwitted a Man.

There Is story told Of a certain
hotel In large city where the rats
increased despite dogs, cats and fer
rets. A few were bagged with rife,
but soon they grew too wary for that.
Traps and poison were matters Of
household experience, and even the
young and inexperienced in ratdom
knew enough to avoid them. Then
the manager hit upon another ex-
pedlent.
He swung lid on a barrel with a
swived, filled the barrel half full of
water and fastened a lump of cheese
in the centre of the lid. AS soon as
rat alighted on either side of the
lid, over he would go into the barrel,
and for while rats were drowned by
,ho dccep
Then it was evident that they had
held rat council for the number OF
victims grew steadily smaller. Some
times of a morning there would be
two or three rats in the barrel; oftener
there would be none at all. The OBJ
servant manager felt that they were
all the time trying to figure out how
to get that cheese. Sometimes two
rats would get on the edge of the bar
rel opposite one another at the same
time, and balance the lid as they
crett in toward the centrq This
worked well until one or the other
forgot the need for caution, when both
fell In.
Finally cne old rat mastered the
game. For several nights the cheese
disappeared. and there was no rat
there in the morning to show for It.
One night the manager caught the rat
in the act OF dropping from some OF
the pipes right in the centre of the
lid. He balanced himself for a mo-
ment, then quietly nibbled at the
cheese. When he had satisfied him
self he carefully moved off along the
line of the swivel and dropped to the
floor, safe.
THAT was the point where l gave
It up" said the manager, in telling
the story. There are some other
people figuring on 1t now, but the kind

Tender Animal Mothers.

A wild beast tanner of long expert
ence tells some interesting things Of
the affection of animals for their
young. He had an elephant once. he
says, who did all In her power to
spoil her young one. She fused over
1t and cuddled It up so that when over
time came for 1t to leave the cage
1t was simply unmanageable. When
one of the men made bold move to-
ward the baby he was promptly butted
In the stomach and bowled over in a
peculiar way which the youngster had
OF expressing his feelings toward those
whom he dislilSed. At last, by a ruse,
the mother and son we're separated.
But there was no such thing as keep
ing them apart. The baby rubbed the
skin off its forehead and trunk, try
ing to get through the bars, and both
walled so long and piteously that the
keeper was obliged to put them to-
gether again.
A shy baby camel that passed
through the hands of this same train
er refused to look upon the world
except from its tavorite station, be-
tween its mothers legs. The mother,
too, would show her displeasure at
any effort toward intimacy by spit
ting violently at every one in sight.
The kangaroo also is very fond of
her offspring, and will patiently carry
1t about long after 1t is ready to hop
on its own account.
But for a display Of pure affection
the mother monkey beats any other
animal, and when there is an addition
TO the family circle there is general
rejoicing, A baby monkey sticks fast
by its mother, and asleep or awake
1t seems always in her thoughts.
