For an instant there is silence save

cuBANs LOVE OUR SOLDIERS.

1t is announced that the last of the
United States troops in Cuba will leave
the island February Z. when President
Palma IS expected to personally review
them and deliver an address thanking
them for their service rendered the new
republic. Now that it is known that
the Americans are to go. both Cubans
and property holding Spanish residents,
who had looked on the Yankee garri-
sons as an eyesore, are beginning to
openly express regret that, save from
the coaling stations at Guantanamo and
Bahia Honda, the Stars and Stripes are
to disappear from the island And this
is manifested most clearly in the ex-
pressed desire of the chief executive of
the little republic to have the opportuni-
~ to tell the departing veterans how Gu
bans feel toward them-to thank them
and wish them godspeed when they
start
Cuban officials have already been Sc
lected TO assume command of the differ
ent batteries soon to be vacated by the
American military, and are all young
men specially fitted for the pOsts-hav-
ing been carefully trained and instruct
ed by Captain Aultman, United States
Army. who has earned the good will
and friendly regard OF Cubans generally
and proven himself an invaluable aid to
General Rodriguez in the latter's efforts
TO organize Cuba's department of ma
tional defense and public security. which
has police as well as military authority
throughout the entire island.
Captain Aultman says: III there ever
was 4ny ill-feeling against the late gov
eminent Of Intervention harbored by
those connected with the native militia,
the sentiment no longer exists" In
deed, on the contrary, he claims that
desire &c emulate American institutions
has grown rather than diminished since

ton of their governmental affGirs.-Ha-

THE NINETY WIDOWS
OF CR0WNP0INT, IND.
Good Looking and Rich, But All Re
fuse to Marry.

Ninety WIDOWS in a town of $500 popu-
lation. every one good looking. all OF
them rich. and no one that wants TO
marry again. That is part OF the cen
sus record of Crownpoint. Ind.
At the intersection of two streets.
making four corners, are two squares.
called Quality Corners and at these
corners are four widows whose aggre-
gate wealth is more than $500. 600 and in
two blocks there are eight widows who
can draw their checks for at least 800
600 more. In the vicinity OF Quality
Corners" are eleven widows, al hand
some and well-to-do. The rest of the
ninety widows are scattered over town.
These widows enjoy themselves and
are noted for their acts of charity, and
many OF the poor people of the city can
thank them for good dinners and warm
clothing in winter. II was once report
ed that the widows OF Crownpoint were
going to organize a union. but the man
who started the report mysteriously
disappeared and has never been heard
of but once: and then he was living
the life of hermit in a cave of the
Rocky mountains
Another popularity of the census in
Crownpoint is the fact that there Is not
an aged spinster in the town. not a
bachelor. and only one widower. "Old
maids" do not grow well and bachelors
are considered a disgrace. The one
widower has been showing signs of mat,
rimony lately and there is no telling
what is going TO happen
The matrimonial sharks Of the large
cities have heard about the wealthy
widows who grace Crownpoint with
their presence and have sent agents
there 70 get a list of names Several OF
the widows have received offers Of mar
riase. but they have turned them all
down. II any OF them should get mar
ried again IL is declared that the happy
bridegroom will be one of Crownpoint ;

The King and Queen Of Italy are most

Hence there is TO be another innova-

chest that makes so many men drop
out before completing half the distance.
This might be called acute fatigue; but

ANIMAL DEITIEs IN EGYPT.

The Egyptian Pantheon was most
rich In animal symbolism. not a deity
but had some bird or beast consecrated
TO its service and in some way partici-
pant Of the formers divine attributes.
There was the hawk. sacred to Ra, the
all-seeing Sun; there was the bull.
sacred to the beneficent Osiris. and the
COW, consecrate5 to his sister and con-
sort, Isis, the mysterious All-mother.
The crocodile was the symbol of the
terrible Typton. god of Death The
gentle goddess OF Night had her sacred
cats; Thoth. the wise. had his ibises and
cynocephalcus apes. The ram was de-
voted to the worship of Chnuphis, and
also to KEN. the ROat-headed god of
Generation; and lastly we find the
Jackal, belonging to the weird mummy
god Annubis. All these creatures except
the crocodile were recipients of divine
honors in the temples OF their patron
deities during life, and at death they
were buried with their images made in
countless statues. amulets, carvings,
papyri, and mural frescoes.-Ouung.
