"HOOPY-DO" AND
'GOLDENEAGLE''
REFUSEDLICENSE

The goodl-people of Grand Rapids
and vicinity are very thankful to the
members of the Board in the town Of
Grand Rapids for refusing to grant
further license to the above named
saloon proprietors. 1t has been known
for sometime that these places have
been violating their license privileges.
These two places have been run upon
the wide open road house plan. One
is located just outside the city limits
.on the west while the other is on the
.Plover road east of the city. 1t is
just such places that convinces- even
those who drink moderately to vote
the country dry. There are many
instances known to the writer where
these places should have been prose-
cuted for occurrences that have taken
place in these two joints. 1t is now
urged that they should be placed un-
der close surveillance by the proper
authorities that they conduct these
places properly even without licenses.
The latitude granted visitors in the
,pasthas made it possible for them to
go the limit The good people now
propose to watch them closely for no
further violations of the law.

2 ..!y Type of Eagle Known.

A Russian grand duke, one of the czar's predecessors, was once the guest og German prince. It was early in the century. In Russia the imperial double-headed eagle is to be seen everywhere and on everything throughout the empire stamped, paint ed. embroidered. or sculptured. At that period the education of grand dukes was somewhat limited This grand duke went out shooting in Ger amny, and, among other things. shot large bird. He asked an experi- enced huntsman who accompanied him what the bird was. "An eagle, your highness," was the answer. The grand duke turned on him in an irritated way. ''How can 1t be an eagle,' he asked. "when it has only one headr'

pacificatiOn, the trocha and the concen- tration camp, developed to their fullest extent. Although his trochas hindered the free movement of Cuban troops and his prison camps decimated the peaceful population of several prov inces, the Spanish cause gained little. Both trenches and prison camps be- came Spanish grayeyards.
 At the time Johnnie O'Reilly set out for Matanzas the war-a war without battle, without victory, without defeat had settled into grim contest of en- durance. In the east, where the insur- rectos were practically supreme, there was food of a sort, but beyond the Ju- caro-Moron trocha-the old one of Campos' building-the country was sick. Immediately west of 1t, in that district which the Cubans called Las Villas, the land lay dying, while the entire provinces of Matanzas. Habana and Pinar del Rio were practically dead. These three were skeletons, picked bare of flesh by Weyler's beak
 The Moron trocha had been greatly strengthened since Campos' day. It followed the line of the trans insular railway. Dotted at every quar- ter of mile along the grade were lit tie forts connected by telephone and telegraph lines. Between these forti- mas were sentry stations of logs or rail road ties. Eyes were keen, rifles were ready challenges were sharp, and coun- tersigns were quickly given on the Ju- caro-Moron trocha.
 In O'Reilly's party there were three men besides himself-the ever-faithful Jacket, a wrinkled old Camagueyan who knew the bridle trails of his prov

 The American had not dreamed of taking Jacket along, but when he came to announce his departure the boy had flatly refused to be left behind.
 Fifty miles of hard riding brought the party to the trocha they neared it on the second morning after leaving Cubitas, and sought secluded camp ing spot. Later in the day Hilario. the old Camagueyan, slipped away to re- connoiter. He returned at twilight. but volunteered no report of what he had discovered. After an insistent cross-examination O'Reilly wrung from him the reluctant admission that ev- erything seemed favorable for a cross ing some time that night, and that he had selected promising point. Be- yond that the old man would say noth- ing.

It was still night; in the jungle no air was stirring, and dark ness brought forth q torment of mos quitoes. As day died the woods awoke to sounds of bird and insect life; strange. raucous calls pealed forth, some familiar, others strange and un-

CHAPTER XVI.
The Trocha.

Of all the military measures en- ployed by the Spaniards in their wars against Cuban independence, perhaps the most unique was the trocha- trench or traverse. Martinez Campos during the Ten Years war built the first trocha just west of the Cubitas mountains where the waist of the island is narrowest. Not until Wey- ler's time were the two methods of
