CUBAN SENATE HONORS
MEMORY OF GEN. LEE
Minute Setting Forth His Services to
the Republic Adopted and Spread
Upon the Records.

cuba's gratitude to Fitzhugh Lee for
his untiring efforts in behalf OF the
struggling patriots OF the Queen of the
Antilles" has been made a matter Of
record by the Cuban senate. Informa-
ton TO this effect has just been received
by the Cuban legation here.
When General Lee died several days
ago. the mourning in Havana was as
kincere and widespread as at his own
home town While the Cubans had not
known him all his life as the Virginians
had, they had known him in the STIR
ring times just preceding the breaking
nut of the Spanish-Ameriean war, when
minutes seemed days and days months.
AZ the representative of the United
states at that time, he was looked TO
nv the Cubans to protect them from all
the islanders which emanated from
Spanish sources. about their brutality
In the field and such things, all Of which
were overdrawu and oftentimes un-
founded.
The synnpatbizing Southerner did this
willingly, even though it made him per-
soma non grata TO the Spanish authori-
ties at Havana and the Cubans have
always felt they owed him a debt of
gratitude.
On the announcement of General Lees
caath the Cubans determined 10 make
their remembrance OF his services TO
them matter of official record and
this the Cuban senate has nov done.

WEDDING AND FUNERAL ALIKE.
Much Resemblance in Ceremonies, Ae-s
cording to Western Writer.

SOtothS ~
There is mighty little difference be-
tween wedding and funeral. At
wedding the relations walk slowly
down the aisle, followed by the bridal
couple and a string of attendants At
a funeral the relations enter the
church slowly, followed by the coffin
and the pallbearers. At wedding the
real relations of the bride sit on one
side of the church and the in-law
relations sit on the other. The kin
of the remains take opposite sides of
the church at a funeral. The organ
rolls out the same deep music and the
odor of flowers is as heavy at a we'd
ding as at funeral. After the church
services are over the bridal couple
and attendants leave the church first,
followed by the relatives, and at
funeral the coffin and pallbearers are
given precedence of the relatives IN
leaving the church. The same hacks
stand at the door and the professions
in both cases pass slowly out of sight.
After everything is over the relatives
get together and talk things over very
much the same in both instances.
There are some tears, some criticisms,
some complaints about blunders and
the incidents are closed.-Atchison

OWNERSHIP OF LITTLE VALUE.
Art Dealers Purchased Treasures
Must Not Be Moved.

Italy desires the keeping of its art
treasures within it's own boundaries
and sometimes with rather odd re-
suits. The other day a farmer, find
ing his finances low, yielded to the
solicitation of an art dealer and sold
him the removable masonry of two
ancient windows belonging to the
fragment of an ancient abbey, now an
clubhouse, in his grounds. The gov
eminent commissioner, hearing of the
transaction, visited the farm and Of
fically prohibited the removal of the
windows. The farmer was in de-
spair; he had received his 500 francs
and, like the Irishman, had squan-
dered his fortune in paying his debts.
The commissioner used comfortable
words: 'You have sold the windows
and he has paid you money which you
have prudently spent. Be content"
But the buyer was not equally con-
tented. He sought out the commits
sioner,, who blandly congratulated
him on having become the owner of
the windows, which, however, he
could not remove. ShylocH's pound
of flesh mildly repeats itself in a ton
of masonry.

Mid those stars one face I see
One the Savior turned away
Taught my baby lips to pray:
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake,
Take me to her. Savior dear,
IF should die before 1 wake
Fainter grows the nickering light.
As each ember slowly dies,
Plaintively the birds of night
Fill the air with sad'ning cries;
Over me they seem to cry:
You may never more awake.
Low lisp: IF 1 should die.

Now lay ME down to sleep;

BY the term annual value" is meant
the amount of money required to pay
the pensioners then on the roll for
one year.
During the year 1883 pensioners
were dropped from the roll by reason
of death, and of this number 3O,324
were survivors of the civil war. On
June 80, 1905, the roll contained the
names of es4.50s survivors of the
civil war, a decrease of over 5000
from the previous year.
The total amount disbursed for pen
sions for the fiscal year was $141,-
