ledge. While watering it recently his
daughter noticed a delicate tendril
reaching out towards a nail in the side
casing. She marked the position of the
tendril on the wood, and then shifted
the nail about an inch lower. Next day
the little feeler had detected itself
very noticeably, and vas again head
ing for the nail. The marking and
shifting were repeated four or i've
times, always with the same result;
and finally one. night the tendril, which
had grown considerably, managed to
reach the coveted support, and was
found coiled tightly about 1t. Mean
while another bunch Of tendrils had
been making for a hook that was for
merly used for a thermometer. Just
before 1t reached it's destination the
young lady strung a cord across the
window sash above. 1t was a choice
between the old love and the new; and
as some vines seem to prefer Il cord 10

the pale, crisp, little tendrils-which,
by the way, conveyed a surprising sug-

they were y'uung and full OF life and

serious mood lasted.
The boys fell to gathering fagots
for a fire on which to roast the chick
Ems they had brought with them; they
did this by taking a two-pronged stick,
whiting II smooth, then thrusting 1t
into the chicken and holding it owe
the fire; the stick was turned and
twinod until the fowl was nicely roast
ed. While the boys were doing this
the girls spread a large cloth on a
smooth piece Of ground, and had put
on 1t all sorts Of tempting eatables,
then placing rugs and carriage robes
on the ground, all sat down, with raw
enous appetites. After lunch they lay
around on the robes, too lazy to move,
and told stories and sang for nearly
two hours. Then, rs 1t was very
warm, they were ready for a swim In
the inviting pool surrounded by moss
grown powders, not far away. There
was a scramble for bathing suits and
everyone helped to make dressing

FOOD
What an II. ID. Learned.

A prominent physician of Rome.
Georgia, went through a food expert
ence which he makes public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food,
and l also know from having pre-.
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food Is a wonder
full rebuilder and restorer OF nerve and
brain tissue, as well as muscle. 1t i'm
proves the digestion, and sick patients
always gain just as l did In strength
and weight very rapidly.
II was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains of this State, but
two months there did not improve me;
In fact l was not quite as well as
when I left home. My food absolutely
refused to sustain me, and 1t became
plain that l must change; then I began
to use Grape-Nuts food and in two
weeks I could walk a mile without
the least fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice, tax
ing up hard work again. Since that
time l have felt as well and strong as
I eve did in my life.

thought they were ducks-for all the
California boys and girls are accom-
plished in one thing, and that is swim
ming.
Awhile after their swim Helen, with
three or four others, started out to
take a walk along the bank OF the
river. They rambled on and on. The
river, which vas not very large, had
dwindled into a merry brook; they fol-
lowed 1t along up a steep path, thlckly
wooded. when suddenly they came up
on a clearing and in the midst OF 1t
stood a cabin. Being curious to see
who could live In such a lonely place,
they approached. On the doorstep sat
a little girl about 8 years; she was
dressed neatly In a blue Bingham
apron, and her bare feet were like lit
tie snowfakes. Helen began a con-
versation with her in which she learn
ed that the child knew nothing about
the Fourth of July; but she appeared
very much interested In Helen's de-
scription Of frecrackers. One Of the
girls said, rather tho~ughtlessly, what
a pity It was that the little girl could
not see the display of fireworks they
yer to have that night. The chiId's
woebegone little face touched Helen's
heart and she acted upon a generous
impulse. Knocking at the door, she
was admitted by the mother Of the
child, who seemed greatly surprised at
seeing the grorp Of boys and girls:
and when Helen told her Of her wish
to take the little n with them to en-
JOY the fireworks that evening, prom

and into the canyon.
Half an hour later tLey were on the
road. Long before they reached home

ing the mountains and valleys with its

o'clock and, after dinner, went out of
doors to see the wonderful display of
fireworks.
1t had been a day long to be reniem-
bered, and that night when all the
house was still the moon, which had
peeped In at the window and had seen
a smile on every sleeping face, looked
in the window, into a tiny room, where
on a white bed lay little Ann Marlin,
and on her face rested the happiest
smile Of all.-Detroit Free Press.

,sLe or CUBA IN HISTORY.
May he Divided Into Four Exciting
and I~nterestinR Epochs.

May he Divided Into Four Exciting
and Interesting Epochs.
Since Cuba became known to the
world 400 years ago her story Ia n Of
romantic incidents and tragic events
and may be divided into four epochs.
The first one can be described as that
OF discovery, colonization and conquest.
For 200 years 1t was the spoil Of foreign
foes. Columbus on bis first voyage dis
covered the island, and by 1853 practi-
calIy the entire native population had
been exterminatcd by Spanish cruelty.
In 1884 and 1864 Havana was destroy
ed by the French; In 1c24 1t was taken
by the Dutch; from 1860 to 100 1t was
often ravaged by fl!lusters, and In 1852
II was taken by the English. At 10 time
prior to>1T00 was the island safe from
attack by European governments or by
pirates. Then for $50 years or SO en-
sued an era of comparative peace. En-
cept fer the single incident Of English
occupation In 17e2, the island prospered
nightly In tobacco and the slave trade,
OF which 1t was the center for Spanish
America. 1t is said that In the sixty
halcyon years CT this traffic no fewer
than $4,000 slaves were brought into
Cuba.
Along about 1874 began that epoch Of
Cuban history which ended only In the
expulsion OF Spain In 1903. This might
be called the revolutionary period. More
than 10000 negroes persisted In the in
surrection of 1913. The uprisings OF
1910 and 1851 were led by American
adventures. The Spanish revolution of
1868 led to an effort for Cuban indie
penGence, which continued with vary
ing fortrnes for twelve years. In 1850
the Instruction vas pat down, but 1t
had saddled upon the island a debt Of
SS5,000,Cc0. The revolutionary move
ment which ended in American occupa-
ton may be said to date. In Its more ac-
tive manifestations, from about 1893.
When the Maine went down In Havana
harbor the bell rang for the curtain
which was TO fall for once and for all
on four centuries Of Spanish misrule.
The ensuing four years form an epoch
by themselves-the period of American
occupation. While much OF the work
done by our representatives there Is for
all time. some OF II Is already In peril
from Cuban incompetence and unrest.
The island Is accordingly entering upon
another stays of its existence.

A Fourth Of
July Picnic.
BY Katherine McTyor.

- N a little Californian town, situated
at the foot Of q long. low range or
9 mountains, lived a young girl whose
name was Helen Mills. Hers was a
lovely home. The great house, with
its wide yerandas, stood in the midst
of many acres of beautiful grounds,
with mountains forming the back
ground. 1t was the second day of
July, and Helen had invited a number
Of young people to come down from
| San Francisco and remain over the
Fourth. That evening the young
hostess entertained her guests by tax
| Ing them for a hay ride; the next day
she had planned other delightful en-
tertainments, so the boys and girls
looked forward with great anticipation
| to see what the next day would bring
forth. They were sure 1t would be
| something delightful. for who could
help having q good time on the Fourth
OF July?
When her guests were about to dis
perse to their rooms that night Helen
told them that they would be called
very carly the next morning, as they
were going on a picnic and would have
to drive some twenty miles to reach
the spot.
Early the next morning they We're

back. They wero a merry party, and
| the clear, fresh mountain air, ladened
with the perfume Of wild flowers
which grew deep down In the canyons,
| raised their spirits to the highest de-
gree. Once or twice they drove up
fearful inclines and the girls closed
their eyes In terror, but there was nc
cause for fear, as the drivers were
well used to such places
At length the place was reached,
It was not a public picnic ground: in
fact, Helen said she knew there had
never been a picnic there before; that
she and her father were fishing one
day and their canoe had taken them
by that place. Helen said then II they
had a picnic the Fourth. they wouid
60 there, and her plan had been acted
upon. For some time before they
reached the spot the road lay between
great open fields, the canyons jus1
visible across them. They turned Of
the road and drove through a great
field; when they reached the trees they
all stepped from their traps and tht
girls waited while the boys fed ani
watered the horses. then they walked
down q steep incline and into thu
canyon. At first they were awed b

AINSWORTH PREDICTS
CIVIL PENSION LIST
Head of War Department Bureau Criti-
cises Civil Service Commission.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. u. =
Brig. Gen. F. C. Ainsworth, chief of the
record and pension office of the war de-
partment, in discussing the merits Of
civil service before the committee on
reform in the civil service today pre-
dicted that a civil pension list for
superannuated civil employees of the
government is one of the certainties of
the future.
The various propositions for a re-
tirement fund to be raised by assess
ments, which are pending before the
committee, the general said, would only
result in pension fund to be provided
for the government. There was a way
to provide against approximation in
the government service, through a
drastic efficiency rating system, but the
adoption of such plan was not likely.
The civil service commission was
criticised regarding the promotion sys-
tenn by Gen. AinSWorth. He said that
no matter what rules were promulgat-
ed, If the commission reserved the right
to amend them, that fact impaired the
rule. Responsibility for promotion. in
his opinion, would better be left en-
tirely with the heads of departments
than divided with the commission, as
the efficiency marking on which the
promotion is made could be shaded in
any manner desired by these officials.
The system of having a promotion
board in each division, composed of a
number of the highest clerks, was ad-
vocated. This plan has been in opera
ton in record and pension offices for
several years and has worked salts
factorily. Gen. Ainsworth recommended
the establishment of an academy for
instruction of persons for civil employ
ment, analogous to the military and
naval academies.
