The Day After
 Christmas

With the joy and hustle of the cele- bration thing of yesterday, many man (and woman, tool will be taking stock of his belongings.
 If among the medley of things, trifling and ornate, classed as Xmas gifts, there is found something really practical-what relief to the aching eye and gaping pocketbook. Here, at least, is something that will give use and pleasant satisfaction for some time to come.
 So Friedman 's-( (who sell only practical things for men-such as stylish, handsome clothes of quality at very moderate cost)-bids you pause. Don't spend all your money on knick- -knacks Bear in mind there are good many days after the holidays, and something con- fortable and practical, at cost that you can well afford, will out wear in real pleasure all the "Xmas present" things that were ever made.
 Friedman's says to men and those buying for men:
 Come to Friedman 's-if you want to be happy the day after Xmas, also.

Government Il said 10 BE Poor
at Present.

HAVANA, May 30.-The govern
ment forces at the front in the dis
trict in Oriente, bounded by Guanta-
namo, San Luis and Santiago, have
been compelled to halt in consequence
of the weakening Of the main body
by the dispatch Of detachments to
guard plantations in the outlying
towns. General Montegaudo, the COM
mander-in-c chief of the Cuban army,
who started from Santiago with 1900
endorsements, has delayed the for
ward movement in order to give his
troops "a hours rest, while determn-
ing the plan Of attack.
General Monteagudo expressed full
confidence in his ability TO cope with
the enemy, but the insurgents have
the choice of various positions which
proved impregnable to the Spanish
attack in the war of independence.
There have been numerous outpost
skirmishes without definite results.
Destroying Foreign Property.
The most serious news of the day
was the report of the destruction by
insurgents of the property Of the Span
ish- American Mining company at Dali
quiri, which the small guard of ru-
rale guards was unable to protect and
the dispatch from the United States
naval station at Guantanamo of the
gunboat Paducah with marines for
the protection of the mining proper
ties at Daiquiri. The Paucah arrived
tonight from Daiqulri, from where 1t
is reported the insurgents retired into
the interior.
The opinion is becoming general
that the government forces are in
sufficient to guard the property and
cope with the insurgents, who are re-
cruiting rapidly, by the voluntary or
enforced enlistment Of plantation la
borers.
Apparently there is small prospect
of augmenting the government forces.
the only visible reinforcements being
a corps of 700 volunteers now being
organized for active service Mt Ha-
vana for service under General Pie
dra. The home guard of Havana is
being rapidly recruited but the terms
of enlistment forbid the use of the
troops except in defense of the capital.
Heavy rains throughout Orlente
have had the effect of hating the
military movement and also checkine
the burning of the cane fields by the
insurgents. The depredations OF the
rebels on the plantations are for the
most part confined to foreign prop
erty. The report of severe combat
near Palma Soriano, in which the in
were said to have sustained
heavy loss from gatling gun fire, has
not been confirmed.

NnrrnllNc OF CArccr.

A narrative Of Wilbur Wright's ca
reer Is the story of a man who fol-
lowed the light Of his deans and CON
trived a machine for aerial navigation
that stands out spectacularly among
the wonders Of century Of invention.
Wilbur Wright, with his brother,
OrVille, dreamed of building a craft
that would dart through the air with
the speed Of hawk that would defy
the storm, that would transform the
art Of warfare and revolutioni2e meth
DDS OF transportation. In the nine
years that followed their first sue
cessful test at Kitty Hawk, n. c., they
have seen their aeroplanes driven
more than two miles up into space
have heard the purr Of their machines
as they whirled on their way across
the continent, and have watched great
crowds stand aghast in anticipation
as graceful blplane scared threat
eningly over the fighting mast Of a
giant warship which might have been
sent careening to destruction by a
bomb from the tiny machine lowering
above It.
Dreaming of Achievements.
When death smote Wilbur, he and
his brother were still dreaming Of
further improvements their chief in
terest being centered in the making
Of machine that would possess great
er stability and increased carrying
power.
II was while Wilbur was at high
school at Richmond, Ind, ana Day
ton o.. that the brothers began max
ing definite plans for an aeroplane.
A few years later they embarked in
the bicycle business at Dayton. In
their shops they found plenty Of op-
portunity for experiments, and when
a gasoline engine was perfected
in the automobiles rapid strides. they
saw a dawning light. In 1902 the
brothers had built their first air ma
chine and in 1903 they went to a re-
mote section near Kitty Hawk, n. c.,
where they tried out their invention.
