SOJOURN IN CUBA
Harry Holllngshevl, of this rity.af
ter a three years' sojourn in Cnbi
made in the Intet. si of a bnsine
venture has oomc back to tesnme life j
in the United States. Ills experience- i
while Interesting arc not of a sort to j
inspire confidence in the future if the |
island—at least not under the present I
regime.
Mr. Hallingsln ad was located near ;
Pinar del Rio. in the i rovmce of that
name at the west end of the island.
He went there during'Febmary, 1H0 V ,
at which time a large number of
Americans poured into Cuba. It was
thought there were fine opportunities
iu Cuba for raising poultry and vege
tables for the states.
Mi. Hollingshead embarked in the
poufffy raising business. He had car
ried his enterprise to a point iliat
insured at least moderate success,
when the terrible hurricane last Oct
ober nearly swept him off the face of
the earth.
Probably only those that have lived
through a West India hurricane have
any adequate eoncei tiou of what one
is like. For ninety-six hours—from
Thursday [night until about Moudav j
noon following— the cyclonic winds
beat upon the island. It wa> the hard
est storm since 1840. Mr. Holliugs
head's buildings were destroyed and
all that part of the island was devas
tated. The hurricane at intervals was
accompanied with rain, which for
tionrs poured upon the earth like a
deluge. •
The great storms to which the islaud
is subject are bad enough, but busi
ness in time would no doubt recover,
if conditions in other respects were
all right. As it is, thete are many
drawbacks. In the first place the gov
ernment is weak, and it is probably
only a question of time when there
will be a change. Practices are in
vogue that would uot be tolerated in
our country.
What is needed to make agriculture
a success is irrigation. The raiuy
season begins about the middle of
October aud lasts until about the mid
dle of June following. During this
time vegetables will grow luxuriant
ly, hut they will not fruit. During
the dry season crops are uncertain.
Tobacco and sugar cane are staples
The former can no longer be grown
with profit owing to the competition
caused by Porto Rico and the Philip
pines.
Now that the influence of the Unit*
»«d States is no longer felt iu the
affairs ol government the island has
oome to a standstill. With the except
ion of the macadam roads built by the
America us the highways are mere
trails. People ride on mules and pon
ies and in this way nearly all the
business s transacted. Af a rule the
agricultural implements are of the
most primitive sort. Oxen are gener
ally used in the fields. It is how
ever, Mi. Ho linsghoad states, a most
beautiful country, its rare sunlight,
its evenings and its mornings posses
sing a charm of which the American
can form no conception. At a later
day, uuder a better system, when ir
rigation is employed, it may become
one of the chosen spots of the earth.
Undez all the circumstances Mr.
Hollingshead thought i' best not to
rebuild on his land, bur lie sold out <
his business and returned to the Unit
ed States.
Good Results Always Fo'low.

CURED TO STAY CURED
How * Danville Citiren Found Complete
Freedom From Kidney Trouble*.
II you suffer from backache—
From urinary disorders—
from any di-iaM' of the kidneys.
Ho cured to may niruil.
Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting
euro*.
Danville people testify.
Here * out> case of it:
Mrs. Charles Whls|iell. I*7 \V. Mali,
Street,Danville. Pa..says; "My
cxjiei icnce with Donn'n Kidnpy Pills
justifies uip in saying that they ale a
remedy of merit. I had sharp twinges
in my loins aiid at times my hack was
*o painful that I could hardy straight
en. I did not sleep well and in the
morning when I got n|i, the backache •
was as distressing as ever. It was
difficult for me to change my position
wlieu lying down aud the stiffness
across my loins made it a task for me
to arise after sitting. A tired, languid
feeling clung to me and I was all out
of sorts Heading about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and hearing them highly
spoken of by local popple, I was in
duced to give them a tiial A supply
was procured for nie from Hunt's
Drug Store and the use of out' box
made a decided improvement. The
pain and soreness was relieved and I
regaiued uiy strength and energy." j
(Statement given Januarv 'J, 1908. )
CONFIRMED PROOF.
On January 24. 1910. when Mrs
Whispell was interviewed, she said :
"l aui glad to say that Doau's Kiduey
Pills completely cured'me of kidney
complaint. My formei endorsement of
them still holds good."

NEW FLOOR
The armory is receiving a much I
needed improvement in the form of a
new floor.
The old floor was not only worn out
but it was in a warped, uneven oondi j
tiou as the result of the flood of ISHU. j
It answered well euough for drilling i
purposes, but it was hardly tit for
dancing, a use to which the floor is
very frequently put.
The new floor is of hard wood,
maple, and in laying it the veiy best
of workmanship is employed. In mak
iug tiie improvement the platform be
longing to the big windows iu the
frout of the building has been remov- j
ed and the space formerly occupied by i
it has been thrown into the floor.
Company F, Twelfth regiment, N. j
CI. P.. which leases the half of the!
building occupied by the armory of j
the Reading Iron company, realizes i
something by sub-letting the hall for
dances. The armory as improved will ,
be one of the finest dance floors in this 1
section and will no dobut be much in
demand.
RELAYING RAILS
The rails on the D. L. & W. rail
road are now changed as far as the
stove works, the heavier seventy-six
pound rail taking the place of the
ordinary sixty-seven pound tail, which
has been in use on this division for
many years.
The method employed iu substitut
ing the heavier tail, which prevents
interruption of traffic and under which
the work progresses with rapidity, is
well worth a study.
The rails ou the loug section of
track between Wall and Reaver streets
were changed Saturday in the com
paratively short interval between the
passing of the 10:19 a. in passenger
train, east and the 13:51 train, west.
Two section gangs were employed,
about eighteen men in all. Prior to
the arrival of the 10:19 train,east, the
new rails, foity-uine iu all, by means
of the fish plate, were securely fasten
ed together and laid along the track iu
precisely the same position they would
occupy on the ties.
As soon as the train rolled by all
hands fell to work extracting the
spikes and rolling the old rail intact
out of position between Wall street
and the stove works, after which the
new rails were hurriedly spiked down.
This was only oue-half of the work
as all was iu readiness to change the
rails on both sides of the track.
There are forty-nine rails between
Wall and Reaver streets so that fak
ing in the whole track ninety-eight
rails were changed iu the short inter
val above described.

TONGUE BROKEN
1 A ripple of excitement was caused
in the vicinity of Lower Mulberry
street yesterday afternoon, when two
horses attached to a heavy farm wag
on ran away.
The team, which belonged to Joseph
Sees of Mahoning township, had been
left stauding at Cole's hardware store.
While the owner was in Diet?.' meat
market the horses broke loose and at a
mad gallop dashed out Lower Mul
berry street. At the lower end of the
street they turned to the left aud ran
up to Walnut street, where they were
caught.
At some point or other a collision
occurred, as the result of which
the tongue was broken. Ono of the
horses was slightly cut about the feet.
It was necessary to unhitch the team
leaving the wagon stranded just above
the undergrade crossing.
Convalescent.

' "llow do you do that?" "In this way:
1 When water gets scarce I give tha
J Baviau none. If he does not seem
I thirsty I rub a little salt on his tongue,
j 1 then take him out with a long string
or chain. At first it was difficult to
make him understand what was want
ed, for he always wished togo back
to the wagons. Now. however, he Is
well trained. When 1 get hlni out
some distance I let him go. He runs
{ along a bit, scratches himself, shows
Ills teeth at me, takes a smell up wind,
looks all round, picks up a bit of grass,
smells or eats It, stands up for another
sniff, canters on, and so on Wherever
the nearest water Is there he Is sure to
go."

A QUARANTINE
AGAINST DOGS
' Tli<* .log, which ran aniaek in Cata
wissa and was killed at Boyd's station
last week, was afflicted with rabies.
A report to tin above effect has been
i received by K. 11. Tewksbury, chief
burgess of Catawitsa.from rbe laborat
ory >.f State Livastock Sanitary Board
at Philadelphia, ta which the head of
' the dog that ran amuck was sent for a
microscopic examination. Accompany
: ing the report was a note advising
' that all dogs bitten by rlie rabid anim
■ al be shot forthwith.
T he dag on his way down the river
between Catawissa aud Boyd's station
is known to have bitten a large num
ber of other doginseveral of them very
| valuable animals. Complying with the
order from the State Livestock Sanit
ary Board these will no donbt be put
to death with little delay. It- is the
| other chws of dogs—an uncertain iiuni
! her —which may have been bitten with
i out anyone knowing it,that constitute
! the chief source of danger. The only
safe course is to tie up all dogs that
ate under the leas? suspicion of hav
; ing come in contact with the rabid
animal.
As mod as word was received that
J the dog killed at Boyd's was afflicted
with rabies Chief-of-Polioe Harry
Hartuan of Catawissa got busy. Up to
last evening eight dogs in that t.iwu
j bad been killed by Chief Harman.
, Chief Burgess Tewkslmry lias issued
an order declaring the dogs of Cata
wissa to be in a state of quarantine.
All dogs bitten must bo put to death ;
others must be strictly confined or
firmly secuied 011 the premises of their
owners. The qpainntiue is to remain
in force one hundred days.
If the same precautions in a getieial
way are employed between Catawissa
and Danville there will probably be
no further outbreak of rabies.
