Dad has not been much good In Ha-
vana, cause he wanted to see the
whole business in one day. He got q
rowboat and went out in the harbor
to where the backbone of the Maine"
acts as a monument to the fellows who
yet sleep in the mud of the bottom,
and after tying a little American flag
on the rigging that sticks above the
water, and damning the villains who
blew up the good ship, we went back
to town and drove out to the cemetery
where several hundred Of our boys are
buried, where we left flowers on the
graves and a cuss in the balmy air
for the guilty wretches who fired the
bomb, and then We went back to the
city and walked the beautiful streets
until dad began to have cramps from
trying to eat all the fruit he could
hold. Then it was all OFF, and
was going to call a carriage to take
him to the hotel, when dad saw ne

so we couldn't get him out of the door

So l hired the negro, got dad in the

girl wife. and saw happiness beaming on
the face Of the queen and her husband,
End saw them squeeze hands and look
lovingly into each others eyes, we made
up our minds that you couldn't believe
these newspaper scandals.
And when we saw the broad-shoul-
dered, broad-chested and broad-every-
where women of Holland, we concluded
that it would be a brave or reckless hus-
,band who would be unkind to one OF
them. and mighty dangerous, because
the women are stronger than the men.
and any woman could whip four men at
the drop of the hat, because she could
take off her wooden shoes and strike out
and q man would think he had been hit
by arailroad tie.
4 do not know what makes Hollanders
wear wooden shoes. unless they are SEN
fenced to do 1t, or that they are unruly
and have to be hobbled to keep them
from jumping fences, but the people are
50 good and honest that after you have
met them you forget the vaudeville
feature of their costumes. and love
them, and wish the people of other
countries were as honest as they.
For two or three days we were not
robbed. and do not believe there Is q
dishonest man or woman in Holland,
except one. There was one woman
that played it on dad in Amsterdam,
but ! think she only played him for a
Joke, for she laughed all the time. Dad
was much struck at seeing the women
selling milk from little carts, hauled
by teams of big dogs, and he negotiated
with a woman for dog team and cart,
end all one day dad and put on wooden
shoes and Dutch clothes and drove the
dog team around town, and SO we hal
the time of our lives, more fun than
eyer had outside Of q circus, but the
SHOES skinned our feet, and when the
dogs laid down to rest and dad couldn't
talk dog language to make them get up
and 20 ahead, he kicked the off dog with
his wooden shoe, and the dog got up and
grabbed a mouthful Of dads ample
pants and shook dad till his teeth were
loose, and a woman driving another
mess of dogs had to come and choke the
of dog SO he wouldn't swallow dad
pants and all. Dad gave her dollar for
rescuing him. and what do you think?
Say, she pulled an old stocking Of money
out of her bosom and counted out sc
cents In change and gave 1t back to dad
and only charged four cents for saving
his life, and that couldn't occur in any
other country, cause in most places
they would take the dollar and strike
him for more.
Dad wanted to take the dog team
and cart to Milwaukee to give 1t to 9

so we arranged to have the team load

sailed the dog team was lying dowI

Point for the purpose OF swimming.
Young Theobold being an excellent
swimmer, ventured further out than

themselves by wading about on q

claimed: "Oh, its cold" and dis

For eight weeks Mrs Salome Rebec- ca Tyler, proprietor of the Red House. 15 Abbott avenue, has been trying to get rid, of her boarder, Mrs Jane Boyle and succeeded only last night, with the assistance of the police department. It was 1920 o'clock when word reached the police that times were ultra lively at the Red House and a policeman was wanted imme- diately. Officer Gabriel got there in time to hear Mrs Boyle raising what he called .'..Catn.', Tue row disturbed Jacob Goldberg, a tailor down stairs, and William Lawlor, a b0arder, got up and wanted to know what the row was about, and Mrs Boyle told him to shut his lovely face, and that she was merely looking for barrel in which to pack, her things, for she was going away, never to return. Lawlor did not like this reply and advised Mrs Boyle to close her mouth or he would close 1t for her, according to the story she told Judge Burpee in the city court to-day. Lawlor was not in court. Mrs Boyle informed the court that she has worked hard all her life and that if given a chance she will go to her daughters in Bristol. The court took her at her word and continued the case week, which is an equivalent to tlischarging her.

 The banquet room was appropriately decorated and portraits of Jefferson were conspicuous. Besides MT Parker the speakers were United States Sen ator Newlands of Nevada, Mayor Me Clellan of New York.

 .a,.Mr P8rker was the first speaker and he, was. enthusiastically received. Ere quently he was interrupted by ap- plause from his hearers. The speech was on the future of the democratic party, and was replete with sugges- tions for harmony and urgent appeals against sectionalism. In his reference to corporations and trusts, Mir Parker said:
 My own recent experience in poli- tics does not incline me to favor over- much the management of some great corporations. But no student or Ob- server of economic conditions can ques- tioh either the logical development or the necessity of corporations any more than he can ignore their existence. They are not the result of some blind chance groping about in modern indus try; they are essential features in the growth of that real cooperation which has done So much to change conditions.

TRIBUTE FROM A FRIEND.

The sudden death of Michael F.. Brennan of Mill River. Mass. which death occurred in Marchell. Tex. last week. brought sorrow to the home of one of the most respected Irish famI- lies of that town and is sincerely re gretted by a host of relatives and friends of the young man in Water. bury and vicinity. Especially because it 90 closely follows the death of an other brother which death took place under sorrOwful circumstances only recently. Mr Brennan. the father of both young men. is one of the most be- loved and progressive of the citizens of Mill River. A man universally re- spected for his staunch integrity and good deeds and who brought his fam fly up in the way they should go.
 Mir Brennan was one of those who left Mill River to seek gold in Cali fornia in the early sixties. and during which experience purchased a large tract of the lest land available hl that section. Those who know him fer years as I have will learn with deep regret of the double sorrow that has visited him and will deeply sympathize with him in this bereavement
