Every day. every day setting your Dack
On the rack,
And all your reward forever not quite

OF bread for your babies. Say.
In the heat of the day
You might be hero to head a brigade:
But "a hero like her? I'm afraid! I'm
afraid!
1t might be very feasible TO force great

TO saddle public passion and to ride

To his view,
Cnswerved by the crush of the mutton
Batting crowd
Unwon by the habby drained, blink

At the height of the fray.
You might be the chosen to captain the
throng;
But to stand all alone! How long? How

about a hammock. In the cities one
seldom sees a hammock at all, but
the Cuban peasant-or guajro, as he
is called-frequently uses hammock
to sleep in at night. When he gets
up in the morning he rolls it up and
puts it away out of sight.
The great majority of Cubans are
engaged in agricultural pursuits and
nature is very kind to the Cuban far
mer. He does not have to work as
hard as does the farmer of our own
country in order to support himself
and family. Someone has said of this
fertile island: Tickle the land with
hoe and it laughs with harvest"
There is no unproductive season in

the future. The Cuban gathers a crop

crop he gathers in the summer. His

Then she motioned to the younger
girl, who, as silently as the other,
pressed her lips to the hand of this
man, who, although stranger, was
yet of their blood.
There was no show of affection on

being played had for its motive not
love, but duty.

) Cubans Take Life Easy !

Especial Correspondence.)

One of the first things that an Amer

many things he previously learned are
not true. For instance, before | went
here | was wont to picture to myself
he Cuban girl in a balcony, a man
lila falling in graceful folds about
her face, listening to the tinkling
mandolin that her lover was playing
in the street below. Perhaps you have
pictured the same scene Yourself
but you'll never see it in Cuba. Girls
in Cuba seldom wear mantillas. AS
for the mandolin, that instrument is
more popular in this country than in
Cuba, and the lover-or anybody else

Peasants Wants Are Few.
The Cuban peasant has never
learned to- read and has therefore no
desire for money to purchase books or
periodicals, his craving for art is sat
isfied by gaudy patent medicine cal

music he makes it himself on an
empty olive key covered with deer
skin, or on a gourd with an artifcially
Iroughened surface. which when
scraped with a steel wire gives forth

drawing a lath rapidly along picket

often numerous, but lis household ex-

Strength of Family Ties.

Strength OF Family Ties.
The family tie is very strong in
Cuba. Even the poor extend the
scanty aid they can to relatives more
unfortunate than themselves. ! re-
member an incident that illustrates
this trait of Cuban character. At a
coast town | saw poor shoemaker
whose widowed sister had recently
died in another town, leaving two lit
tie girls. The mayor of the town had
written to the shoemaker telling him
that it had been the mothers wish
that he should take the children under
his protection, but that if he did not
feel able to assume this additional
burden the children, whose father had
died in the war, were entitled to the
protection of the asylum for soldiers
orphans. The large family that he had
at home would be severe tax on the
shoemaker's scanty means; but his
sense of duty and family pride were
strong, and he came to the seaport to

Inherent Love of Gambling.
The passion for gambling is strong
in the Cuban. He will bet on anything,
but prefers to stake his money on
cards and gamecocks. Cock fighting,
which is now forbidden by law. was
for generations the national sport of
the Cubans, and if the matter were
left to the popular vote | think they
would go back to it, just as they would
go back to the lottery.
The lottery that the Spaniards main
tanned in Cuba was a national lottery,
and the government derived a large
revenue from its operation. 1t was
supported by the poor, and though 1t
robbed them Of their substance. it en-
abled them, they say, to forget that
they were poor. or al least to hope
that they would not be so poor always.
One woman-she worked in cigar
factory and earned 80 cents day
stripping tobacco-told me that she
had bought a lottery ticket, which
costs 90 cents, every month, ever
since she was little girl, and that al
though she had never won anything
she would begin buying them to-mor-
row if she could.
And while | was waiting for the

Isn't it worth 90 cents month to be
