marten. a young American graduate

“the Spamards were repulsed. The Cu-
Eran loss was 106 killed, 300 wounded.
The Spanish loss was about the same.
_ Three hundred Spanish prisoners were
taken.

tle. for Power.

Gompcrs, president of the American
Federation of Labor, at Nashville,

of. the people. We shall elect our own
representatives wherever possible, and
at all times defeat the enemies of our

South, to unite and concentrate their
entire efforts to attain the greatest
success.”

\Vill l‘nss linnkruptcy liill.
\Tashington, Dec. 2:1—The opponents
of the Bankruptcy bill concede, that it
will pass both Houses. A majority of
the House Democrats, in all probabil-
ity, will vote against it. They say that
its involuntary feature will allow the
creditor class of the East to oppress
the poor in the \Vest, While the volun—
tary phase will encourage dishonesty.
The opposition, loweVer, consider it
useless to organize to defeat the meas—
ure. and they will simply put them-
selves on record. The bill has been re—
ported to the House and will be taken
up very soon:

’ MISSING LINK.
How Present Day Things Will Appear to
the Scientists of 3000'
The party of scientists and antiqua-
rians who were exploring the Rocky
Mountains in the spring of the year
2,000 mounted on their new ’00 model
bikes, suddenly heard a. loud cry of
triumph from the lips of Prof. Rubber-
tire, of the Smithsonian Institution,
who was some distance ahead.
Hastening forward» they found the
Professor standing by the side of the
moldering remains of a. wagon. In
front of the decaying fragments lay
the petrified remains of four extinct
animals.
“See!” said the Professor, pointing
to the animal to the right, nearest the
wagon. “We have found the missing
link between that noble machine, the
bicycle, and the animal kingdom at
last.”
“What is it?” asked the
group. .
“That, gentleman,” said the profes-
sor is undoubtedly the fossil remains,
of a wheel horse."——Detroit Free Press.
A Custom Among the Cretes.
In Crete a number of ' individuals
often choose a. young girl, who must be
pretty—no difficult matter in Crete,
They inform her parents of their inten-
tion, and the needful consent is never
withheld. Then a. priest is sent for
and told to begin the ceremony. He
takes a very long girdle and joins all
the men with it in a circle, in the cen-
ter of which the young girl is placed.
Then the clergyman recites a number
of prayers and winds up by giving his
benediction to all present. The mo—
ment he pronounces the last amen the
circle and its center stand in the rela-
tion of brothers and sister to each oth-
er to all religious and social intents
and purposes. Each and every one of
the males is bound in honor to protect
that girl throughout her life, but none
of them can take her for his wife. She
is and remains their sister to the end
of her days.

The other day she looked up at him

“Papa, was it a wise person who

“Yes,” said the musing man, ,“I

“Well,” she went on, after thinking
It over for some time. “I’m not so
