and YOU embody the nations resolution
that, 80 long as there is an enemy in
the field, not a man or q woman Will
spare ans exertion to secure a triumph

short peace and a worse war to follow.

That the Appam will be interned as a

A MESSAGE TO GARCIA

APOLOGIA.-This literary trife,
"A Message to Garcia" was written
one evening after supper, in a single
hour. 1t was the 22d of February,
1899, Washington's birthday, and we
were just going to press with the
March Philistine. The thing leaped
hot from my heart, written after a
trying day, when l had been endeav-
'Oring to train some rather delin-
quent villagers to abjure the coma
tose state and get radio active.
The immediate suggestion, though,
came from little argument over the
teacups when my boy Bert suggested
that Rowan was the real hero Of the
Cuban war. Rowan had gone alone
and done the thing-carried the
message to Garcia.
1t came to me like a flash! Yes,
the boy is right, the hero is the man
who does his work-who carries the
message to Garcia.
/ got up from the table, and wrote
"a Message to Garcia" l thought
SO little of 1t that we ran it in the
magazine without a heading. The
edition went out, and soon orders be-
gan to come for extra copies of the
March Philistine, a dozen, fifty, a
hundred; and when the American
News Company ordered a thousand.
| asked one of my helpers which ar
tIcle it was that had stirred up the
cosmlc dust.
Its the stuff about Garcia" he
said.
The next day a telegram came
from George H. Daniels, of the New
York Central railroad, thus: "Give
price on one hundred thousand of
Rowan article In pamphlet form
Empire State Express advertisement
on back-also how soon can Ship"
/ replied giving price. and stated
we could supply the pamphlets In
two years. Our facilities were small
and a hundred thousand booklets
looked like an awful undertaking.
The result was that l gave Mr..
Daniels permission to reprint the ar
ticle In his own way. He issued 1t
in booklet form in editions of half a
million. Two or three Of these half.
million lots we're sent out by Mr..
Daniels, and in addition the article
was reprinted in over two hundred
magazines and newspapers. 1t has
been translated into all written lam
guages.
At the time Mr.. Daniels was dis
tributing the Message to Garcia.

ways, was In this country. He was

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that Is
