CANT PHASE THE WEATHEX
BUREAU.
We score the weather bureau,
For the rain we didnTt get,
And then we score it once again
For making roads so wet.
We score the weathTr bureau
For the breeze that. doesnTt blow,
And then we score it harder yet
For gales that bluster so.
We score that bureau right and left,
And up and down the land,
And still it stays in business
At the same old stand. :

|The outbreak in Cuba, but if the Span-
At War Withthe United States.
No longer ago than yesterday it was
said that there was less probability of
States and Spain thanat any time since
ish banners are to be believed, that wa®
altogethor wrong. The El Heraldo
one of the leading newspapers of Mad-
rid, for instance says that Spain is no
onger fighting the insurgents, but that
exclusively. But read what it eays:
oThe problem ot the war isnot in Ha-
vana; itis in Washington. It this
should continue, gur Generals will be
~discrediated, our army harrassed, and
we shall gain nothing. We must fight
or compromise, and as our hands are
tied by the Uuited States, it is with the
American republic that the compromise
would havetobemade. * * * We
accept advices and recrimirfations from
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney as to
how we should administer justice. One
step mor and this intrusion will lead to
an international compact. It would be
shameful for Spain. Is there any
Spaniard who has the courage to go 80
far? Our policy is that not for 100
milation.�
~The same journal publishes an ar-
ticle from the pen of a distinguisued
military man in Madrid, who after
surveying the situation says; oOur
enemy is in Washington. If this con-
tinues, a catastrophe is imminent. We
must put an end to this shame if we
can ; if not, let us at once renounce the
task ax one which 1s either beyond our
strength or unworthy of us.
oThe opinion of the loyal friends of
the delay of the rainy season, if Gen.
Weyler is not allowed all liberty of
~action, our now scant hopes will be
killed. The rebels receive
daily fresh supplies of arms and am-
muvition. Itis not possible to send
to Pina del Rio any forces from
cities would be exposed to the attack of
the filibustcrs. It was expected that
the volunteers would be willing to as-
they have remained in silence.�
The El Heraldo says: oWe must
fight or compromise�"well, which is it 7

nobody is holding Spain if she feels like

HELLO GIRLTS DISCOVERY.
She Listened to the Vibrant Tenor Voice
at the 'Phone.
In the Detroit Electrical works there
is a night watchman who possesses an
exceptionally fine tenor voice, and when
te has nothing else to do he sings to
keep himself awake, says the Detroit
Tribune. Up in the big telephone ex-
change a dozen girls are told off for
night duty. They are, like the tenor,
fond of the songs of the day, but, unlike
him, they are pot allowed to.sing; and
they grow lonely after thecalls begin
to be few and far between and the mur-
mur of the street traffic below has
ceased.
Some months ago, it is related, one of
the girls who had answered a call from
the electrical works, overheard the
watchman singing his favorite song.
She listened as long as she could with-
out arousing the ire of the unmusical
individual at the other end of the line,
and then confided her discovery to the
rest of the girls. There was a short
but eager council of war, and the girl
who made the discovery was deputed
to call up the harmonious watchman
and ask him for asong. The watchman,
who must be. quite a. phenomenon in
that he is a tenor and also oan extreme-
ly bashful young man,� required _a lit-
tle coaxing, but eventually complied
with the request, All the other girls
oeut in� on the line, and the watchman
was encored so often that his throat
was sore when the.concert was finished.
But this unique tenor is as fastidious
as he is shy. It is said that there was
only one girl at the ocentral� who can
induce him to sing, and she'¥s the maid-
en who made the original long-distance-
concert discovery. When the other girls
begin to grow tired at night, she calls)
up the electrical works, and the watch-?
man sings for her, unconsefous of the
fact that-all the girls have. ocut in� on
the line, and that he is.singing to the
entire night-foree of the exchange. The
others hint. that there fs a romance in
it, but that is a matter which concerns
only the young watchman and the girl
at the ocentral.�
