Havana, Cuba.-My Dear Old Greas-
er: We stopped il Holland for a couple
of days after we left Belgium, and it
was the most disappointing country we
visited on our whole trip. We expected
to be walked on with wooden shoes, and
from what We had heard of that duke
that married Queen Wilhelmina we
thought we were going to a country
where men were cruel to their wives,
and swatted them over the head when
things didn't go right, but when we saw
the queen riding with her husband, as
free from ostentation as department
store clerk would ride out with his cash
girl wife, and saw happiness beaming on
the face of the queen and her husband.
and 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 Shout
dered, broadchested and broadevery-
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 man would think he had been hit
by railroad tie.
do not know what makes Hollanders
wear wooden shoes, unless they are SEN
fenced to do it, or that they are unruly
and have to be hobbled to keep them
from jumping fences, but the people are
so 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 l do not believe there is a

purer air, and the Isle Of Pines. which
has more tropical scenery and less
yellow fever.
But now the island of Cuba is Joy.
and Havana Is like Heaven-until you
come to pay your bill. Streets so wide
you cannot see creditor on the other
side, pavements as smooth as the road
to perdition, and tropical trees, plants
and flowers, with birds of rare plumage,
you feel like sitting on cold bench in
the shade and wishing all your friends
were here to enjoy taste of what will
come to those who are truly good, in
the hereafter, when suddenly you are
taken with a chill up th spinal col.
umn, and cold sweat comes out on
the forehead, and the internal arrange
ments go on strike because of the
cold, perspiring cucumber you had for
lunch, and you go to a doctor, who
does not do a thing to you. but scare
you out of your boots by talking chol-
era, and giving you the card of his
partner. the undertaken, telling you
never to think of dying in tropical
country without being embalmed, be-
cause you look so much better when
you are delivered at your home by the
express company, and then he gives
you pills and a bill, and an alarm clock,
that goes off every hour to take pill
by, and furnishes you an officer to go
home to your hotel with you to collect
his bill, and you pawn your watch and
sleeve buttons for a steerage ticket to
New York.
Dad has not been much good in Ha-
vana, cause he wanted to see the
whole business in one day. He got a
rowboat and went out in the harbor
to where the backbone of the Maine"
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 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 1
was going to call carriage to take
him to the hotel, when dad saw a ne
gro aStride single OK, hitched to a
cart, who had come in from the coun-
try, and dad said he wanted to ride in
that cart, If it was. the last act of his
life, and as dad was beginning to swell
up from the fruit he had eaten
thought he better ride. in an open cart,
cause in carriage he might swell up
so we couldn't get him out of the door
when we got to the hotel.
So l hired the negro, got dad in the
cart, and we started, but the OK walked
so slow l was afraid we would never
get dad there alive, so told the negro
dad had the cholera and that settled
it, for he kicked the OK with his heels,
and the OK beloved and run away, and
the negro turned pale from fright, and
l guess the runaway ride on the cob
blestone pavement was what saved
dads life, for the swelling in dads in
side began to go down, and when we
got to the hotel he got out of the cart
alone, and knew he was better, for
he shook himself, gulluped and said,
You think you are smart, don't your"

Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying
that the exploitation Of the pee
! pie through the operations OF
'high finance presents a new
problem to the voters Of this
country Aud so it does. and if
there were some way to make it u
political issue on which the voters
could act with intelligence, there
would be no question as to the re-
suit. But tue spoilation of the
stock jobbers, the grafters, the
corrupters Of legislation and OF
those who prey OH the public gen.
orally cannot be successfully crys-
talized into party issue, at least
not at this time. for there is but
one public opinion 10 tho evil.
Every politician is at least theo-
reticully opposed to these things,
and each party stands for honest
government and honest officials.
But what the people can do is
TO give greater heed TO the charac-
ter of men they elect to public Of
fee. from the minor elections to
those of first importance, and es
pecially in filling vacancies in the
United States Senate. With q
gradual improvement in the char
acter of public men, there will be
better laws and a finer code of /
morals in the business world. But I
little progress can be made against
