WHEN BILL TAFT HIT CUBA
BY JACOB WAlDECK,

HAVANA, Oct. 1.-They turned
leaf and began writing a new
page Of history when Secretary
Taft came.
Oil paintings like those of Co
lumlbus on the beach will perpet-
uate the dock scene. Prominent in
it will be a dozen photographers,
their faces and pastures picturing
their frantic anxiety.
Especially the tall. young Span

turned the crank, anG- the other
he waved wildly in the air. The
trouble was that people threatened
to intervene and shut off his view.
He was violently opposed to in
PREVENTION.
In addition to the hand waving,
he alternated plaintive "plees,
pleeses" with fluent Spanish cuss
words.
AN the camera men were afraid
they might lose the shot, but the
high strung young Latin lived
years in the three minutes OF
agony.
Next to the camera brigade, the
interest Of the spectators, about
500, centered In Taft and his es-
cort. The secretary was alert,
cheerful and a credit to his coun-
try. He filled the part o. *. No
body heard him pronounce a eulo-
gy, though, on the custom that re-
quires epoch makers to wear silk
hats and frock coats in tropical

| standing all around were sweating
to beat the band.
To go back to the beginning,
however, it may be said that shoot

fired cannon on the cruiser Des

tary hither. A steam launch put
off from the cruiser and made a
graceful detour to the Cavaly, or

CLEVELAND. Oct. 24.-Archie
Speers, graduate Of Elton, master of
five languages and younger son of
a British churchman is earning his
daily bread by holding the firenet
at Fighting the Flames in the fall

Speers arrived in this city from
New Orleans so weak from loss of
food and fatigue that he tainted

came to this country a few months
ago in the hope OF making his for

some such name, wharf, where
everybody was waiting.
On the dock everything was au
fat. The two autos were in just
the proper position and a line of
rural guardios or policemen were
lined up against the postofiice mall.
The photographers, all a-quiver,
were out in the open and a group
Of Cuban liberators Of whom there
are quite considerable hereabouts,
were posted in a spot handy to the
landing spot and yet out of range
of the frowning lenses.
TIE distinguished citizens were
allowed to associate with the autos
and the populace were over under
the freight shed. Everyone had a
good view, and a pleasant time was
had. Close attention was paid but
there was no cheering.

The launch slid alongside grace

more gracefully, placed his foot on

stood it all right and the secretary
cordially shook hands all around
with the liberators. There were a

Among those noticed were Secre-

"Infernal Revenue"

The United States Internal Eve are
always tempted to spell it with an "f'
instead of 't'') Revenue receipts for
the fiscal year ending 1904 were:
Spirits, $135,810, ,015; for fermented liq-
uors, $49,655,459. This makes tax of
$3.50 for every man, woman and child
in the land. This tax was collected
first from the brewers and distillers.
They collected it with rs per cen> added
from the saloonkeepers. These collect
ed it with 100 per cent added from the
drinkers. Thus the tax amounted to
about $500 per capita by the time it
was collected. This collection was made
in this way from the poorest third of
the families of the country. In order
to collect this tax the dealers sold nearly
ten dollars more per capita to these
poorer families. For the drink bill for
1904 figures up the great total of
$1,249,191. = Evangelical Messenger,

The Impression the Man Made Upon
the Japanese
1t is known to our readers that Mr..
Bryan has lately been making tour
in the Eastern world Being a repre-
sentative American, he has been re-
ceived everywhere with honor, and his
frequent addresses and public appear
ances have partaken almost of the ma
ture of semi-official American char
acter. There is one thing we wish to
publish-the impression he made upon
the Japanese.
