what's the Matter with Spain

No foreign nation is of more interest
to Americans than Spain. 1t was
through Spain that the new world was
discovered. Queen Isabella financing
the voyage for Columbus. Spain o
onized and held much Of the southern
part Of the present United States for
centuries. Spain conquered Cuba and
Porto Rico and kept them until she
was driven out a dozen years ago be-
cause she refused to behave properly
in relation to those islands. Spain ex-
plored and populated u southern
neighbor republics, all Of which have
broken away from her because of her
rapacious greed and her lack of admin
istrative ability.
In Spain the railroads, the mines and
nearly all other large industries are
financed and operated by foreign cap
italists. The %Spaniards themselves
seem to be incapable of conducting
large commercial or industrial enter
prises. The racial love Of ease. which
retains the custom Of resting for an
hour or two in the early afternoon.
may be held partly accountable for
| this lack of enterprise.
But the present troubles, which
threaten to overthrow the monarchy
and establish a republican form of
government, are to be credited to the
same situation that caused Spain the
loss Of all her colonies. For centuries
the people of Spain have been over
taxed and exploited to the verge of
| starvation. The worm will turn, as it
turned in France, and revolution is in
evitable in Spain. Injustice and OPP
preston are the parents of revolution
the world around.

There is a point on the Connecticut
coast extending into Long Island
sound called Sachem's Head. the. name
probably having been derived from
some connection an Indian chief for:
merly had with the place. The shore
is divided between rocks and beaches.
backed by part low and part high or
rather rolling ground. On the east
side of the head, not far from the
point, in the year 1900 stood the
house Of a farmer, John Cromwell.
One autumn day Cromwell was sit
ting on his porch smoking his pipe
when he discovered out Oh the sound
a boat being rowed toward the shore.
Today that region is full, Of boats of
all kinds, but then they were a rarity.
The farmer watched the oars alter
nately disappear and fash in the sun
light till the boat entered the little
cove before his house and ran its nose
up Oh the beach. Then a man jump
ed out, pulled it farther up and ad-
vanced toward Cromwell.
The stranger was young and comely,
but rather, singularly dressed. His
hat was big and pointed in the crown.
his coat was short and 1aring below,
his brooches and his shoes were orna-
.mented with large silver buckles, his
hose were a dark red, while his waist
was encircled by a wide. belt clasped
with a wider buckle than either of
the other two, and in it were several
pistols of an eighteenth century pat
tern. In short. his appearance smack
ed of piracy.
"Have l struck Sachem's Head:'
asked the young man.
"That's what they call it," replied
the farmer.
The young man looked about him as
If trying to get his bearings. Present
~ he spoke again:
You wouldn't mind letting ME stay

Hope is q good tonic, but it only

Be Il game loser if you are Il sport.
Cheerful winners are common.
Cheerfulness can he carried too far.
The man who is poignantly light

Some Utility.

WV
Though money may lot pleasure brin
And every trouble chase,
Still It's Il mighty handy thing
To have about the place.
A dollar sailed in a sock
And rubbed by two or three
Beats having nothing by a block.
AS any Il can see.
You cannot eat a dollar bill
Or serve it up in hash.
Still there is something of a thrill
In having ready cash.
A life of worry YOU may lead
In piiing up the dross,
But it's as fine a friend in need
AS You will run across.
A quarter hidden in your jeans
From which you need not part
Don't mark o as a man of means.
But really it's a start.
And, adding slowly, 1t will grow
A quarter and repeat
Until you have a pile Of dough
That speaks Of Easy street.
Hold out a little here and there.
A nickel or a dime,
And you will be a millionaire
With chink to burn In time.
And when you get 1t you will find
That you can use the stuff,
Nor will you eve be inclined
To think you have enough.
