THE BATTLEFlELDS
Scenes of Cuban Conflicts Full of His
tOric Interest.

Scenes of Cuban Conflicts Full of His
toric Interest.
1t is true that the great battles Of
the Civil War and those of the pres
ent one IN Manchuria, where the men
killed and wounded in day outnum-
Der all those who fought on both sides
at San Juan, make that battle read
like a sklrmish But the Spanish war
had its results. At least 1t made
Cuba into republic, and so enriched
or burdened us with colonies that our
republic changed into something like
an empire But l do not urge that. 1t
will never be because San Juan
changed our foreign policy that people
will visit the spot, and will send from
1t picture postal cards. The human
interest alone will keep San Juan
alive. The men who fought there
came from every State In our coun-
try and from every class of our so
our regular army, and with them,
cowboys, clerks, bricklayers, football
players, three future commanders Of
the greater army that followed that
war, the future Governor of Cuba, fu
ture commanders of the Philippines,
the commander of our forces in China,
future President Of the United
States.
And, whether these men when they
returned to their homes again became
clerks, and millionaires and dentists,
or rose to be presidents and mounted
policemen, they all remember very
kindly the days they lay huddled to-
gether in the trenches on that hot and
glaring skyline. And there must be
many more besides who hold the place
in memory. There are few in the
United States so poor in relatives and
friends who did not in his or her
heart send a substitute to Cuba. For
these it seems as though San Juan
might be better preserved. not as it
Is, for already its aspect is too far
changed to wish for that, but as it
was.-Scribner's.

A THRIFTY GUEST.

A few years ago Mrs. Reeves paid
Il visit to some distant cousins-two
rich old maiden ladies who live togeth-
er in remote village of Canada. On
the night before she left their home.
as the three sat on the veranda to-
gether. one Of the hostesses remarked
speculatively: well, it hasn't cost
Drusilly and me so much as we
thought it would to have you here.
You see every time you were invited
out. we We're asked. too, and that
saved the price of a meal for each OF
us: 50 1t almost evens up.'
This story has been a byword among
the members of the Reeves family
ever since, and only recently they
have acquired a companion-piece
which, Mrs. Reeves declares, balances
it beautifully.
that it forms a convenient target for
any and all Of their friends who aim
at doing" the national capital, but
their spirit of hospitality has never
grown tired. Not long ago Mr.. Reeves
received word that his Uncle Abner
and wife We're coming to visit him.
Now don't you think, Burton"
Mrs. Reeves asked her husband, when
she heard the news, that it would do
to let your Uncle Abner pay at least
part Of his own expenses while he's
sightseeing round here? I wouldn't
speak of It, only, you know, he has
more money than he knows what to
do with"
That's true enough, my DEAR" ad-
mitted Mr.. Reeves with his genial
smile, but he's going to be our guest.
and intend to give him and Aunt
Huldah the time Of their lives. l
guess Drusilly and me- can manage
to pay their car fare for few days"
So Uncle Abner and Aunt Huldah
came. Mr.. Reeves met them at the
station, and for the next week devot-
ed himself to giving them a glorious
holiday. Not point of interest was
missed; not a car line anywhere round
| Washington failed Of patronage. Just
| once. in all their visit, the two went
out together, unaccompanied, and the
twenty-five cents that Uncle Abner
paid for six car tickets on that Occa-
sion was the only money he spent
while in Washington
AS they We're riding to the train, in
the street-car. on the morning of their
departure. Mr.. Reeves paid the fare
as usual. and then dropped into seat
beside Uncle Abner.
"Well. uncle" he said, heartily, II
hope you're not sorry you Gamer
"Oh, no." Uncle Abner replied, abb
sently. He was fumbling in his peck
et-book for something. At last he pro-
duced two car tickets. Say. Burt"
he said, II had these left from the
quarters worth bought the day your
Aunt Hubby and l rode out to Cabin
Johns Bridge. They won't be any
use to me after leave here; so If you
want to give me dime and take 'em

DOWN ON TINE RIO GRANDE.
Contractor Tells of an Exciting Ex-
perience in Crossing Stream

contractor Aells OF an Exciting EX-
perience in Crossing Stream.
10 give you an idea Of what sort of
river the Rio Grande Is I'll tell an ex-
perience that had in getting across it
with derrick" said Raymond Nc
Dougall. a mining man from New
Mexico. Il was a contractor in rock
work from the east side of the river
to the Magdalenas. The derrick was
on four wagon wheels and four mules
were hauling it. l had my two help
ers along and one OF them drove the
mules. He was an old timer. which
was lucky, and IL had trusted to my
own judgment l might have made a
mistake that would have cost me my
mules and derrick, If not my life.
1--WE reached the Rio Grande an
hour before shutdown and l saw a wide
river bed, but no water-only dry sand
from one bank to the other. 1t was a
new kind Of river to me, but my driver
said that it was all right-that 1t was
way the Rio Grande had. The water
was there, only it was flowing through
the sands under the channel instead
Of in it. l being a tenderfoot was for
camping on the nearer bank where the
grass was good, but Mccartney, the
driver, said that would never do I'M
less l was willing to take my chances
Of staying there a week or two; that
water sometimes came down the chan
mel, a good deal Of it, and it would be
well to get across while we were sure
that we could.
I'VE started across over the dry
sands and l was thinking what an
easy way 1t was Of fording a river
when Of a sudden the two lead mules
were floundering in quicksand and
the whole outfit came near being
drawn in. We got the two leaders
clear Of the harness and the other two
mules drew them out, one at time.
We hitched them up again and by
making long circuit got past the
quicksand and to the other bank.
by that time 1t was 10 o'clock and
the moon had risen. The mules had
just begun to climb the bank when
We heard roaring noise up the chan
mel. 1t came from wall of water
that stretched from bank to bank and
was travelling toward us fast. IT
looked in the moonlight to be four feet
high. and there was high water behind
sending it on. We didn't need to boiler
to the mules. They heard what was
coming and clawed up the bank like
cats.
I'VE got out all right. derrick and
all-and there We're not three minutes
to spare. Before we had finished our
supper the river bed was full, bank
high. with a torrent that eddied and
roared as it rushed past our camping
place as If it had been sorry to miss
us and would like to get up where we
were. There was not a cloud in the
sky or sign Of rain anywhere and
the food may have come from cloud
burst in Colorado 200 miles away. But
1t came near getting us.
II had learned one lesson, and that
was in travelling by wagon always to
camp on the farther side Of stream
And l had learned to put no trust in
the Rio Grande. "-AIilwaukee Free

Alma.Tadema's Discovery.

Great vigilance has to be exercised
by the antiquarian painter. This was
demonstrated by Sir Lawrence Alma
Tadema's picture, THE Finding Of
Noses" Looking at the picture. a
well-known botanist examined with
admiration the painting Of the life-like
larkspurs which form the foreground
and then turning toward the artist and
congratulating him ON the successful
rendering, pointed out that larkspurs
were Of comparatively recent
growth. The painter laughed as he
replied: $50 l thought until dried
specimens of them were discovered in
some of the recently explored royal
tombs Of Egypt"

Always CheWed the RAG.

my grandfather had one curious
habit" says Virginia woman in the
Washington Post. He chewed the
rag constantly. l don't mean 1t In a
figurative sense, either. l mean it lit
orally. When he was about so the doc
tors persuaded him to give up the use
of tobacco, and he used a rag instead.
Grandmother used to cut worn-out ia
blecloths into little squares and lay
them in drawer ready for grand
father. When he was going out any
where. she tucked several into his
waistcoat pocket. He chewed from
daylight till dark. Once grandfather
and l went to the funeral of a great
man here In town. Grandmother was
i'll that day. and forgot to tell me about
the rags. We sat well up toward the
front, and grandfather was no sooner
seated than he put two fingers into his
waistcoat pockets. No rag He search
ed through all his pockets, one after
the other. No rag anywhere. He be-
gan to wriggle about in his seat uneasi-
ly. He was in misery with nothing to
work his Jaws on. The service went
on and when the choir rose to sing, l
saw one Of grandfather's hands disap-
pear under his waistcoat His eyes
were fixed on the choir and he looked
determined. There was fortissimo
burst Of music-and then in the in
slant of absolute stiffness which fol-
lowed, everybody heard something
tear. Grandfather turned a vivid pur-
pie, but when he raised his head after
the prayer little later, his jaws were
at work."
