s% Pleased to Be Baek-Mr. and Mrs.
o. D. Edick returned Thursday night
from an extended trip through New
York and Michigan where they visited
relatives and friends. Mr.. Edick said
this morning that really one had to go
away from home for a few weeks to
note the many improvements that are
constantly going on in this city. He
says he was aware that the city was
growing rapidly but did not realize to
what extent changes for the better
were taking place until today, when
he looked about at the new buildings
going up. He said they had splen-
did time on their trip. In Michigan
the apple crop is SO large that men
cannot be had to pack it and as a re-
suit applies were rotting on the
ground or were being fed to the hogs
In great quantities N He bought two
carloads Of magnificent apples for the
store and Bismarck rs will now be
able to enjoy the best apples on earth
from famous old Michigan.

Plans Discussed Tonight The fine
evening promises an excellent attend
ance at the Presbyterian church TO
night, when the plans for the new
chapel will be shown and discussed.
A steroptieon will be used. :.
The statement in the Tribune last
night that the building is to cost
$4,000 is rather premature inasmuch
as no bids have been accepted thus
far: 1t is quitet possible to spend
that amount on an expensive heating
plant and elaborate furnishings, but
at the present writing the church has
no intention of spending near that
sum. However the building will be
equipped with all that is needed and
it is hoped that its usefulness in the
community will justify the efforts the
church Isl now putting forth to build
it.
| The service will begin at 8 o'clock.
There will be several fine musical
selections. All are invited. No col
lection or. pledges taken tonight.

Your average Cuban malcontent
thriveS upon revolution. 1t is the at
moSphere in which he was reared. He
would rather fight than eat-that is,
unless a paternal government has so
disposed his personal fortunes that he
may eat at the first table and snare in
the delicacies. But leave him lin hard
luck" and at once he sulks and plots
against the government. 1t would doubt
less be unjust to attribute to all the
Cuban insurgents now in arms motives
so entirely sordid. Their ranks are
probably recruited to-day, as they were
ten years ago, from four generai
classes.
First and highest in the scale is that
not inconsiderable class who are intel
ligent and fearless, who are undoubted-
ly inspired by patriotic motives and a
lofty sense Of national wrongs. Of
such was the patriot martyr, Jose
Marti, one Of the first shining marks to
stop a Spanish bullet decade ago.
Second-There is always a conspicu-
Gus element, composed of adventures
and soldiers Of fortune. Often they
are not even natives of Cuba, but in
the turmoils of that long pillaged island

Standing HOnOrS.

There may be more than one just
cause for pride in the soul of the small
boy at the close of his first day at
school.
"How did you get on with spelling?"
Bob's mother asked him. ''You look
SO pleased, I'm sure you did we'll"
''No'm, | couldn't spell much of any
thing admitted Bob. "And | couldn't
remember the 'rithmetic very we'll, nor
the joggerp'y."
The mothers face wore a look of dis
appointment, but Bob had reserved the
choice morsel which was sure to raise
a sensible parent to heights of appre-
ciative joy.
But that's no matter mother" he
said, bestowing z bears hug upon her;
'the boys all like me- and I've got the
biggest feet IN the class.'
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-10-20

they have sought a theater of action IL
which to slash a path to fame or for
tune with their sword blades, welded
by superior intelligence and skill. The
great Gomez himself was by many cat
alogued in this class, perhaps because
of his birth in Santo Domingo.
Third-There is the large class Of
petty native chieftains, each with his
following of clansmen, usually negroes
who are content to follow him blindly,
ignorantly, whom he can summonfrom
the pillow to the camp by a mere word as
easily as q district boss" summons his
"heelers" to the primaries. Of such
was the redoubtable Gen. Quentin Ban
dera, who met a soldiers death a few
days ago under the machetes of the
government rural guards.
And, finally, there is that most nu-
merous rlass of all, when taken in the
aggregate-the unlettered horde who
follow the fortunes of those petty chief
tains and do their bidding Govern
mentproblems, the intricacies of politics
