In the parquet at the Orpheum last
night sat young man and his best
girl. People behind them noticed that
the young couple seemed to enjoy
the show immensely, but neither
would applaud, says the Denver Post.
They would look at each other and
smile and say "Fine!" Isn't that
great" and other such things, but
they would not applaud. Everybody
else near by was applauding. and that
started the people behind the young
couple to wondering why they did
not clap their hands and show their
appreciation substantially. Finally
James II. Cullen came on the stage
and began his singing stunt. His
first two songs made great hits, but
still the young couple did not applaud.
His third song was even better than
the other two. and 1t was then that
the mystery as to why the young
people did not applaud was explained
to those behind them. When Cullen
finished the song the girl turned to

natl TO assist in laying the corner

CUBA WANTS A

Havana, April 30. The plan of a
Cuban standing army of 10000 men,
as suggested by the general staff Of
the army, is most attractive TO that
element OF the Cuban people which Is
fond of he gold lace and regalia OF
Spanish-American armies. But among
the conservative elements the plan
excites really less interest than the
preceding one to recruit the rural
guard up to 10000 men,
Gov. Magoon, who has not yet
been advised of any intention of the
war department to adopt the eiab-
crate program of the general staff,
does not believe it possible to re-

soldiers who shall come up to the
standard of the United States army .
This view is fully shared by Cubins
experienced in military affairs. who
point out that the United States today
has such difficulty in obtaining sat-
isfactory results for its relatively
small establishment Of 10000 men
that it cannot keep the ranks of the
army of paciflcation even reasonably
full.

While 1t is true that Cuba is rich
