ing young lady of Ruston, COM

pleasant visit last Tuesday. The

tions for that able journal, The
Ruston Leader, in the laudable
effort tn win in a contest for a
trip to Cuba. Her energy and
charming personality certainly
entitle her to achieve the victory.

THE WRONG SPIRIT.

Alfred H. Love, the famous peace adj
vocate, had been protesting in Phila-
delphia against the great quantity of
military features in preparation for
the Jamestown exposition.
Really" he concluded, with a smile,
one would think that the whole world
was animated and kept progressive by
a spirit of hatred and revenue and bit
ter enmity. One would think-but
perhaps you know the story.
"A pale, wan woman on her death
bed, said in a weak voice to her hus-
band:
Henry, if I die, promise me one
thing
Gladly, my poor darling What is
it l am to promise?"
" Promise me that you will marry
Mary Simpson
"The man started.
But he said, I thought you hated
her

HORRID WAR.

For hours the Nicaraguan army had
been beating up the bush in an attempt
to locate the enemy. Then General
Stefano Pinquirillo called a council OF
war The eleven full major generals
gathered around the dark-browed Ma
poleon of the chaparral, while the
thirty-two brisadier generals stayed
back with the seventeen privates.
Soldiers" said the commander-in-
chief as he dexterously drew bramble
thorn from the sole of his dusky foot,
'the time for action is here"
"But where is the enemy?" inter-
rupted Gen. Henrique Mendoza.
The commander frowned so severely
that he broke a sun blister under his
left eye.
Shall it be said that a Nicaraguan
ever hesitated to go into battle be-
cause of the absence Of the enemy?"
he harshly demanded. Then without
pausing for reply he shook out the
chenille fringe on his single epaulet
and slightly frightened the hilt of his
scabbardess sword, arose to his full
height of four feet seven, and harshly
shouted, Forward"
The eleventh major generals yawned
furtively, and, lighting their bena ci-
garros, sauntered back to the thirty
two brigadiers and the seventeen pri-
Yates, and the army again took up it's
wearisome march through the thorny
chaparral,-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
