Talking of Blow movements of labororH, the ItIhIi nuction hand and the muiwcngor boy at home have to stand the brunt of all the jokes on account of their lack of accelerated motion, but they are like lightning when compared with bene fellows. However, I guumi a slow movement is a part of theno south ern countries that It Ih hard for a northorr person to get used to. Since we lm.'o sailed Into the harbor of Havana, by old Moro Castle and tho forts that surround this old city, I have thunkod Heaven that we came in here without having to take tho city by forco. Ono cannot conceive how Impregnable this place Is until they have gono over tho ground surrounding this city. Block houHos, forts, breaHtworks, rifle pits, thorn and cactus hedges eight and ten foot through (nature Itself aiding in fortifying) literally covering overy Inch of the ground; concealed rille pits blast ed out of the roeks. It looks to me thut fiO.000 mon, properly rationed and fur nlnhed with a good lot of ammunition and arms, could hold this placo agalust tho world. I never conceived how well a city could be fortified and guarded until wo dropped in here. Whether McKlnley realized what a strong posi tion the Spanish held here r-r not I have no Idea, but I am sure thut could some of the people who were howling "On to Havana!" have dropped in hero and neon .the situation, tholr anxiety to get Havana at once would have lessened.

When Fnpii whs first Introduced to Lord Halifax, to read his "Iliad," thn tiobln critic, generously criticised this pasagn slid Hint word at frequent Inter vals, Tho poet was stnng with vexation, for the parts that most pleased him wern the ones most criticised. As hn returned home with Sir Samuel Garth, he reveal ed his displnHsnrn. , "Oh, " said Garth, "yon aro not ac quainted with bis lordship; hn mast criticise. At the next visit, read him the same passages and toll him yon recollected his criticisms." Pope made oho of this stratagem. Lord Halifax waa delighted aud exclaimed, "Pope, they are now inimitable!" . Too llaatr. "Rngglus, I am in some embarrass ment. I want to make a present of a jewel box, appropriately inscribed, to a young lady" "Cor bus, I'm sorry, hot I bavew t a oent" "Confound you, did yon think I was asking yoo for money? I only wanted your help in getting op the motto to inscribe on the jewel case." "Corbun, you interrupted tue. I was about to ruy thut I hudu't a sentiment in my mind that would ha appropriate to the occasions. "Chicago Tribune. Not Exnotinic. In one of Jliss Mnlock's stsries she suys thut "a cheerful heart sneth cheer ful things, " and gives this incident In proof of it: A lady and gentleman were in a lum ber yiu-d hituutcd ty u dirty, foul smell ing river. The ludy said, "How good the pine boards smell !" "Pino boards!" exclaimed the gen tleman. "Juht emcll thut foul river." "No, tbuuk you," wm tho reply, "I prefer to smell the pine Luurda." Threo things too much and three too little are pernicious to man to speak much and know little, to spend much ind hnra Jittlu, tu presume much and be worth little. Cervantes. V
