There was one case in particular that
illustrates this better than any that
It happened after the
The men were
tired with the hard march and the
fighting, and hunger was gnawing at
we had our
first men killed there, and taking it
all in all, we were in an ugly humor.
“W’ell, things hadn’t improved a bit,
in fact, were getting worse along to-
ward meal time, when the Colonel be-
gan to move about among the men,
speaking encouragingly to each group.
I‘ guess he saw something was up,
and no doubt he made up his mind
then and there to improve at least
the humor of the men. There’s an old
saying that a man can best be reach-
ed through his stomach, and I guess
he believes in” that maxim. Shortly
afterward we saw the colonel, his.
cook, and ‘two of the troopers of
company I strike out along the nar-
row read toward the town, and we
wondered what was up. It was
probably an hour 01' so after this, and
during a little resting spell in our
work of clearing around and making
things a little camplike, that the sav-
ory and almost forgotten oder of beef
stew began to sweep through the
clearing. 'Men who were working
stopped short and began to sniff. and
those who had stopped work for a
breathing spell forgot 'to breathe for
a second. Soon they joined in the
snifiling, and I’ll wager every one of
fis was sniffling as hard as he knew
how. Oh, but didn’t that smell fine!
We weren’t shire that it was for us,
but we 'had a smell of it anyway.
Quickly drooping spirits revived. and
as the fumes of the boiling stew be-
came stronger the humor of the men
improved.
1.,“Wc were finally summoned to feed,
aha then you can imagine, our sur-
prise. There was a big boiler and be-
side it a crowd of messtent men dish-
ing out real beef stew! We could
hardly believe our eyes. and I had to
taste mine first to make sure it wasn’t.-
a dream. You should have seen the
express-ions on the faces of the men
as they gulped down their stew, and
we all laughed when one man yelled:
“ ‘An it’s got real onions in it. tooi’
“After we had loaded up We began
to wonder where it all came from and
then the two troop I 111011 told how the
colonel had purchased the potatoes
and onions while his own cook sccur-
ed the meat fro-111 Sibmiey.
“You probably won't, believe it. but
the bushel of potatoes cost colonel
Roosevelt almost $00, and he had to
pay thirty-odd good American dollars
to get the onions. but then he knew
what his men wanted. and it ,was al-
ways his men first with him. There
was a rush to his tent when we
learned this, and if you ever heard the
cheering. I‘m sure you wouldn't won—
der why the rough riders all love their
colonel.
“I s2e,”
said Burlzlioldci', "that. in his

POPULARITY OF PEANUTS
They Came from Africa and Originallx
Were as Full of Grease as Pork.
The American people are evidently ~
very' partial: to peanuts, remarked 'a
large peanut planter in Virginia to the
writer recently, for there are nearly
4,000,000 bushels of them consumed in
the United States annually. Before
the Civil War the peanut was only a
holiday luxury to the, majority of the
people living in the North, the day
when the circus was in town, during.
the country fair and the great and
glorious Fourth of July being the prin-
cipal occasions that the popular yearn-
.ing for the not was :in any measure
satisfied. The product then amounted
to barely 500.000 bushels a year.
“I don’t. suppose there are many
people who know that the peanut
came to this country with the first
cargo of slaves that were landed on
our shores. It is a. native Of Africa,
and in its original state as full of
grease as a bit of pork. Cultivation
and change of soil have greatly re-
duced the oleaginous Quality of the
nut, although the North Carolina va-
riety has enough grease yet to find a
ready sale in France, where it joins
its African ancestor and cottonseed in
supplying not a little of the olive oil
we find in the restaurants and family
groceries. Noxfolk, Va. is the great-
est peanut centre in the world. and
handles annually 200, 000 bags, or 8-
,000,000 bushels.
“It is‘a pretty sight to see a peanut
plantation when the vines are in blos-
som. The blossoms are a bright yel-
low and the vines are a vivid green.
As soon 'as the blossom appears a fine
branch forms on the vine and shoOts-
down into the ground. Thepeas, as
the nuts are called on_ the plantation,
form on the shoot beneath the ground,
like potatoes. When the crop is gath-
ered in October the vine is plowed up,
and the nuts hang to the roots. Vine
and all are piled in cocks in the field,
and in twenty days the nuts are ready
to be pulled off, placed in bags mid
taken to the factories. There they
are cleansed of dirt, assorted, polished
in revolving cylinders and put into
bags ready for the market.”——Wash-
ington Star.

Spain’s boy King was one day ad-
miring some heavy ordinance and
questioning his tutor as to the method
of using it. The mentor answered
willingly, but, by way of recapitu-
lating all he had said and closing the
door to further questions, remarked:
“All good artillery officers find it easy
enough. They merely learn mathe-
matics, trigonometry ,and—” “And
shall I learn these things?” asked the
King. “Why, certainly,” was the re-
ply; “there is no royal road to

OCCUPATION OF CUBA.
' be Made This Week: For
k of Transports.
Washington, D. C., Niv. 22.——The war
department has definitely given up
its purpost of starting the army of oc-
The Start Not
cupation off to Cuba this week. The "
trouble is'lack of transports. This
seems to dispose of any chance of the ‘
transfer of formal possession of -the
island on December 1, but it is believ-
ed that New Year’s Day will See all
Cuba under the flag of the United
States.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.—The war :;=
department has found that it is im- '
practicable to occupy Cienfuegos be-
fore the first of January next, and Ma.-
jor General Wilson, commanding the
First Corps, which was designated to
occupy Cienfuegos, has been direé‘ted‘
to make such disposition of 'the troops,
that were about to sail as in his judg-
ment will best serve the interests of
the army.
A short time ago a. brigade under
cammand of General Snyder was or-
dered to be placed in readiness for im-
mediate service, and occupation at
Cienfuegos.
Since that time it has been found
that there are now nineteen thousand
Spanish troops at Cienfuegos, and thati
more Spanish troops are to be sent
there; that the Spanish garrison can-
not be removed in time for occupancy
by the American troops on or about
December 1.
This was the date originally fixed
when General Snyder should go to Ci—
enfuegos. '
Besides the nineteen thousand troops
originally at this place, it has been
found necessary to send a. large num-
ber of troops from Havana on account
of the disturbances and mutiny which
have taken place: a
The preparations thu ar made do
not indicate that the nited States
authorities,_,are in any great hurry
about sending troops to Cuba.
No ships for transports have been
assembled at Savannah, and no or-
ders have been issued for the quarter-
master’s department to send transports
to southern points for the embarkation
of 'troops to Cuba.
CLOSED DOOR IN PORTO RICO.
Expressions of British and Canadian Disap-
pointmentl-
London, Nov. 22.—Ottawa cablegrams
speak of the keen Canadian disap-
pointment at the news that the estab-
lishment of American authority over
Porto Rico has been followed by the
adoption of what is called a. “mediae-
val navigation law.”
This disappointment is fully shared
here among the warmest friends of
Anglo-American co-operation.
There is the highest reasdn for re-
peating that an American expansion
which means hidebound protectionism
in American colonies has no attrac~
tions, but quite the reverse, for the
great bulk of Englishmen.
Such methods must effectually kill
that Anglo- -American alliance of which
the Blitish ministers have made them-
selves warm advocates.
No responsible, seriously minded En-
glishman will support an alliance so-
contrary to English traditions and po—
litical and commercial freedom.
The lunch-Kissed Mate.
New York, Nov. 22.-—-Osborne W.‘
Deignan, chief boatswain’s mate on the
auxiliary cruiser Resolute, has return-
ed.from his trip to his native place of
Stewart, Ia.
I-Ie confirms the story that when he
arrived at Stewart there were two
hundred yound ladies lined up to kiss
him. He survived the ordeal and was
present at a banquet given in his ban,-
or at Des Moines.
A resolution was unanimously ap-
proved at the dinner to the effect that
the state ofiicers, many of whom at-
tended the dinner, endeavor -to get
Deignan an appointment to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, and that twi
thousand dollars be appropriated to at—
tain that end.
There may be some difficulty in this,
as Deignan is twenty-one years old,
while the age limit for entrance into
the academy is nineteen years.
On this occasion Deignan presented
his boatswain’s whistle ‘to the club.
\Vill \Velconie Our Fleet. '~-'
London, Nov. 22.—In consequence of
rumors that an American squadron of
warships is to visit Portsmouth, the
mayor of that place has written to the
United States embassy promising a
cordial welcome.
Mr. Henry \Vhite, United States
charge dafi’aiies, thanked the mayo.
of Portsmouth for his couiteous letter,
which, he said, he will not fail to
transmit to Washington.
Mr. ”\V lute, however, added: “I have
not yet received information of the
visit, but my government will not fail
to be gratified by the knowledge that
such a welcome awaits our squadron
in the event it comes.”
