to the Cuban that Cuba was not a
self-governing country but merely a
dependency of the United States.

KING BENJAMIN PURNELL OF the
II House of David has hunted all his
religious competitors off the front

discovered that Ben was
living according to some of the most
sodly characters in the bible, taking
unto himself many of the fairest
daughters of Israel. Whether Ben gets
