Advertising Cuba.

One of the valuable things the
Cubans have learned from the Amer
leans Is the art OF advertising, and as
is sometimes the case the likely pupil
goes his tutor one better. Not only
will the Cuban government be official
" and automatically represented at
the coronation OF King George in Lon
don, but the special ENJOYS from
Havana will have a double mission to
AL. They are going to act as official
advertising agents for their country.
They will carry with them to England
5000 of the finest cigars that can be
manufactured anywhere in the world.
TO be presented to King George with
the compliments of the Cuban people.
AS a Havana newspaper says, the
cigars are being taken to remind the
British ruler of the fact that Cuba
puts out the best cigars"

ITO keep a diary In shorthand is

Some folks have refrained from writ

dread revelations at them. With the
notes taken down in shorthand there
isn't much danger of that, especially
If the stenographer has devised a

borne by their descendants. The coat
of-arms of the first John Washington
was composed Of three stars and
stripes. AS to colors. they are the
mien or impaling of the Plantagenets
with the house of Lancaster.
George Washington was entitled, by
virtue of Evolutionary custom-not law
in this country-to use his cognizance
upon a flag in the army which he
commanded; and thus the first ma
tional flag ever made and used In
America was composed Of three starr
and three stripes. which those who
were versed in heraldry would at
once recognize as the proper colors OIL
the general-in-chief of the revolution
ary army-the flag Of Washington.
Since then an increase OF the orig
mai number has somewhat obscured
its parentage, and many are not aware
that this originated, from the legiti-
mate armorial bearings of the father
of his country, the flag which has cost
so many lives to maintain.
