the letters are always worked solid and
not too heavily padded. To be effective

wish to work her monogram on ready
made parasol Il is best to clip the stitches
which hold the cover TO the frame and
rip the section which is TO be worked

pressed IL will be only a few minutes

OF course, II one is accustomed TO doing

the padding In a frame. IL will not be
necessary TO rip the covering from the

THE CASE OF CUBA.

No nation permanently exist unless its
people willing to endure suffering for its sake
This republic was maintained in its original state
because the people rose up in their might to save
it from dsmemberment, and laid down their lives
willingly and cheerfully to preserve its integrity
Even the men, no longer called rebels the men
of the Confederacy, who in 1861 opposed the
federal authority, were actuated by an intense, if
mistaken ideal. Their ideal had, however no
self interest
In the case of Cuba, the strong love of country
that appeared so prominent in the previous revou-
ton, now seems dangerously in abeyance. The
revolt in progress in not patriotic It aims only to
secure possession OF the Offices That is all there is
to It.
1t is unfortunate the Cuban people show little
disposition to take up arms against the revolution
lists. Their lack Of enthusiasm may be due simply
to native inertia or to passive sympathy with the
forces Of revolt In any event, their inactivity
threatens the stability OF nation which owes IFS
existence to the good Offices of this republic
Dispatches say Havana is perfectly quiet
Havana should not be quiet under present circum
stances It should be filled with the sounds OF the
fife and drum of recruiting parties National
spirit should set the city thrilling with patriotic
emotion. Unhappily there is too much OF the
don't care" feeling among Cubans in the face of
the present insurrection.

Awful Appetite Created by the CT.
Oaref.

King Thanh-Thai of AMMAN has been
going a merry clip. as his surviving
wives can tell you. If the French had
not shut him off he would have wiped
out of existence a prominent and IA
nous oriental harem.
Around the kings quarters were 900
women. the most beautiful in his king
dom. according TO the official gazetteer.
But Thanh-Thai grew tired of them.
Perhaps he had lot of brunettes on
hand and had changed his taste in ia
vor of blondes; anyhow. he started in
to destroy his present invoice and take
ON new stock of goods.
He boiled one of the queens and SER
ed her at table to the others. and in
this way he easily convinced the 9th
ers that a queen need not be a delecta-
bic morsel. They agreed to this, and
then Thanh-Thai proceeded to put 9th
ers of them out OF the way. Several
were tortured. others were fed to wild
beasts. and altogether there was a con-
vulsion in the harem. French soldiers
several miles away heard the shrieks,
and, as might be expected from gallant
French beaux. rushed to the rescue of
the fairest women in the kingdom
Thanh-Thai was caught. bound and
gagged. declared insane, and then plac-
ed in n straight-jac In this way
cOmposure was restored in the harem
and the French soldiers were embrac-
ed as deliveTers.
The only explanation messages give
of Thanh-Thais conduct is that he has
been an inveterate cigaret smoker ever
since the year 1891.

Democratic Success.

The democrats of the First Ohio con
gressional district. now represented by
Nicholas LOngworth. have displayed
excellent judgment by nominating for
congress Thomas Bentham, "A years
old and a good lawyer who worked for
20 years of his life in a coal mine and
sympathizes with the labOring classes.
Mr. Bentham was the choice of or
ganized labor and will receive the Ia
Dor vote in addition 10 the regular dem
Ocratic vote of the district. a fact which
indicates the defeat of the presidents
SOn-in-law.
His nomination emphasizes the cor

and the democratic party.
