CUBAN ANNEXATION

annexation of Canada. Millikcn says
Illainv rejdit d tli tt he was, lut that he
did not think it would lrou;ht uhout
iy agitation. In the courc-c of time he
thought th.: l)o:niuiuii would naturally
gravitate into the A uk-i iran union. If
we were reaching alter territory to in-rrea-ic
our wealth and strength, he
thought Cuha should In; the place for us
to secure, iir-t. "In its relation to health"
sa'nl Mr. Iilainc, "Cuoa i.s the natural
home of pestilential diseases, ut-pcciully
fever. Under tin? direction of our emi
nent sanitarians I have not the slightest
doiiht that the exi.-lin cause of this
dreaded disease could he exterminated
from every part of the territory of Culm.
In point of economy it would he cheaper
for the United States to luy the islaud
from Spain at almost any cost rather
than it should he a constant menace
to the health and prosperity of the
southern states. The cost, directly and
indirectly, to the hus'u ess of the country
during the la-t yellow fever was greater
than tii j yalue of Cuha, even if you put
it on a nu ie money hasis. Hut when you
consider the peril to life which the fever
constantly brings, its purchase would not
he dear at any prh c. The next ohjtct
which makes it valuable is its relation to
the United States as a strategic point. It
practically controls the Gulf of Mexico.
It actually commands positions which
we oUi;ht, in the natural order of things,
to posess and control. In regard to its
contributing to our wealth, Cuba in the
Irmda of Yankee people and by that I
mean the thrifty, energetic, inventive
American race would add immensely to
our prosperity. Under the control of
skilled labor its productive resources
wolfl be increased a hundred fold."

A Kangaroo Drive.
Kangaroos arc a great scourge- to tlio
farmers in some pin ts of Aust ralia. They
Jostroy the grass and literally starve the
slu-ep oil the plains. This forces the
fanners to devise ineans for killing them
off. and a "drive" is the one generally
employed. A yard with a high fence is
built on the plain, and two fences run
from it for a long distance, coming to
gether like the letter V, ami all the nien,,
boys and blacks in the neighborhood ai p
mounted on horseback and scour tho
country for miles around. They drive
the kangaroos into the jaws of tho V,
and thence into the yard, where the
blacks enter with clubs and begin the
work of slaughter.
Mr. Knox descri'oea a little "drive" his
party had on their own account: There
were ten or twelve kangaroos feeding
quietly, and we were within a few hun
dred yards of the;i( bfofti they were,
aware of it. At the first alarm they
rose on their hind legs and took a look
all around, and a second later they were
away. How the' did jump! They
seemed to go thirty or forty feet at a
time, but our host said it was little more
than fifteen feet We let Ioti.se the dogs,

Supper After tbe l'ly.
The Sun is asked "whether it Is con
sidered good form to take a young lady
'o supper after a performance at tho
theatre."
Authorities differ. If you think the
young lady is hungry, however, you
might bo justified in doing so, even
though you should limit your own lunch
eons for a week afterward to make good
the expense incurred.
Secondarily, it depends upon the girl.
Plump girls are not apt to order and cat
as vorac iously as thin girls. This is no
cording to Max Muller and Professor
Huxley. A judicious outlay for bon
bons early, in the evening, however, will
often check the feminine tendency to
ward terrapin after the play.
Moreover, you should bo guided in
somo degree by details of time and
place. If you havo ljeen at the German
ojn-ra, the difference of an hour or two
in getting homo will not weigh with tho
home authorities.
But, seriously, if yon have oon at the
theatre until say 11 p. ui. , it there is a
married lady in the party, it is well enough
to ask tho crowd to eat, as they say in
Ix-adviilo. But if you are escorting a
young lady without a chaperon it Is in
better taste to say nothing about supper,
since there is a distinct prejudice ngainst
young ladies going into restaurants at
that hour except in a party whereat least
ono married lady is apt to bo found.
This idea is sensible and good and most
peoplo 6eo its fitness.
Whcjo young people are very old
friends they may feel like taking a little
latitude in such matters. There can be
no possible harm in the act, but as it is
liable to provoke unkindly comment,
tho young gentleman should consider
that any special comment by strangers
upon a lady is in itself most undesirable
in every way, and he should reflect that
other people have no means of knowing
that he and his companion are more to
each other than mere acquaintances in
society New York Sun.
The Gimlet Man.
"I should like to sell you a gimlet,'
said a careworn looking man, as ho
walked into the office tho other day.
"We havo no use for one," replied the
cashier.
'But you cliouid always look into the
misty future," went on the fiend, de
murely. "Next winter you will want to
make holes in your boot heels so you can
get your 6kates on."
"I use club skates no straps re
quired." " You may want to screw some loards
together some time. Tho old fashioned
method of driving screws in with a ham
mer ts pernicious, as it deteriorates the
tenacity of tho fangs of the screws, as it
were."
"Nothing today, sir."
"The gimlet also acts as a cork
screw" "I don't want it."
"It has an eraser, a pen, an inksiand,
a table for computing compound interest
and a lunch box attachment."
"1 can't help it; I aon't want it.'
"I know 3"ou don't. You're one of
those mean men that vi-pj'j -uy a gimlet
