not Improved my opinion of them In tho
leant. 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.

for the parts that most pleased him wern

, "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

Threo things too much and three too
