The Cuban col<lb />ony of cigar makers at Key West had<lb />stowed their staterooms full of their<lb />choicest goods, while the famous<lb />manufacturers of Havana had all<lb />brought out special brands, sending<lb />sample hundreds to the palace for<lb />the approval of the two famous sol-<lb />diees It would have been a breach<lb />ot etiquette to keepacheck upon<lb />oneTs smoking under such tempting<lb />conditions. So the American visit-<lb />ors puffed away at countless incom.<lb />parable cigars while the gayly clad<lb />officers of the palace household roll-<lb />ed their cigarettes and wondered<lb />how long the famous smoker could<lb />keep itup. |<lb /><lb />Presently there came a day when<lb />the programme included a visit to<lb />the lofty fortress of Cabanas, over<lb />the bay. The heavy state barges<lb />rowe@ the brilliant little party<lb />across the breezeless harbor, and,oh,<lb />it was hot! They climbed the zig-<lb />zag path which leads up to the por-<lb />tal cut into the grim front of the<lb />great military prison, which was<lb />even then nearly filled with prison.<lb />ers of state. They were shown<lb />through courts, deep, dark passage-<lb />ways, parades, barracks and prisons,<lb />which fill the whole vast interior of<lb />this. great, gloomy, terrible place.<lb />General Pocurul, then commandant<lb />of Cabanas, paraded the troops with<lb />a fine fanfare from a bugle squad,<lb />and then lunch was served at head-<lb />|quarters, high up on the battle-<lb /><lb />_ ments, commanding a grand view of<lb /><lb />|<lb /><lb />the city and village dotted country,<lb />which in those days presented a<lb /><lb />~prosperous and beautiful appear-<lb /><lb />ance, Gencral Grant saw everything<lb />and smoked on faithfully. He noted<lb />that of the hundreds of «cannon<lb />planted everywhere, from the water<lb />batteries beneath the palms far be-<lb />low, up along the precipitous slopeg<lb />to the crest of the walls of Cabanas,<lb />nearly all were of antique model and<lb />inferior caliber, practically useless<lb />in a modern demonstration, but over<lb />upon MorroTs walls, half a mile<lb />away, as they were told, there were<lb />rows of big new guns, especially<lb />just to the right or eastward of the<lb />castle. And so, having shown an in-<lb />terest in the matter, the party must<lb />go over to Morro, traversing cover:<lb />ed ways. and long open spaces in the<lb />noonday heat. All might have gone<lb />well, however, but unhappily Grant<lb />ran out of cigars. He searched de-<lb />spairingly through his sundry pock-<lb />ets, but, alas, all in vain. Then<lb />came SheridanTs opportunity, the<lb />chance he had been waiting for after<lb />a long and varied experience of<lb />GrantTs marked fondness for telling<lb />army yarns at his expense. He had<lb />a cigar. {ft was not particularly<lb />large or obtrusive, just a regular Ai<lb />Havana, but, oh, it was black and<lb />rich and wicked looking! Sheridan<lb />had been shown through a tobacco<lb />factory the previous day. While he<lb />waited this cigar was made for him,<lb />and he put it away carefully and<lb />smiled a contented little smile.<lb /><lb />So General Grant, with a deep,<lb />happy sigh ~of _relief, touched a<lb /><lb />match to General SheridanTs cigar,<lb /><lb />and Sheridan"he lagged and gy-<lb /><lb />rated like a bad little boy who has<lb />put a tack on his teacherTs chair. It<lb />took a little time for the strongest<lb />cigar ever made in Cuba to get in its<lb />deadly work upon a well seasoned<lb />old smoker like Grant, and Sheridan<lb />began to grow despondent, but joy<lb />once more suffused his rugged yet<lb />rubicund features as he saw his old<lb />commander with a pallid face talk-<lb />ing hurriedly with the interpreter,<lb />a funny mixture of English and<lb />West Point Spanish, and a moment<lb />later he collapsed in the shade of a<lb />wall. There was instant alarm<lb />among all who gathered around, and<lb />even the jolly Sheridan yot a bit<lb />rattled at his own success, but he<lb />only winked solemnly at the secre-<lb />tary and said: oTell Tem to keep<lb />quiet and give him air.

By<lb />inclination he wasa bookworm, also<lb />by occupation. In common with<lb />many other bookworms his chief<lb />complaint was that he did not have<lb />enough money to give his collecting<lb />instincts free play.<lb /><lb />There was a Mrs. Harding.<lb /><lb />Her principal complaint was that<lb />s0 much of HardingTs money went<lb />for books. .<lb /><lb />Quite recently that person who<lb />crept into the ark under cover of<lb />darkness"to wit, one book agent"~<lb />made his appearance at HardingTs<lb />office. He had a whole lot of books,<lb />and Harding wanted most of them.<lb />The argument was that ~~you only<lb />have to pay 50 cents a week, and as<lb />soon as you make the first payment<lb />you get the books. Only so many<lb />of this edition to be printed, and in<lb />six months your copy will be worth<lb />twice what you pay for it.�T<lb /><lb />So Harding decided to buy an edi-<lb />tion of Dumas and an edition of Vic- |<lb />tor Hugo. He paid his first install-<lb />ment down, and the next day tho<lb />books were delivered at the bank.<lb />The agent remarked that he would<lb />have the books sent to HardingTs<lb />house in Brooklyn if he so desired,<lb />but Harding declared that for cer.<lb />tain reasons he would rather have<lb />them sent to the bank. Of course<lb />everybody in the bank knew why.<lb /><lb />oTl just take Victor Hugo home<lb />tonight,TT he said, ~~and see how<lb />Mrs. Harding likes him.�<lb /><lb />Victor Hugo went to Brooklyn<lb />last night, and the latest reports<lb />were that Mrs. Harding didnTt like<lb />him at all. In fact, Harding said<lb />the next day that he really had nev-<lb />er seen any one so provoked in all<lb />his life as Mrs. Harding was-when<lb />she heard that the monéy that<lb />should have bought dresses for the<lb />girls had gone for books.<lb /><lb />~~TTll just have these books of Du-<lb />mas kept here for a few days,TT add-<lb />ed Harding, ~~and let Mrs. Harding<lb />get over Hugo before I show her<lb />Dumas..�T<lb /><lb />The books were packed away.<lb />They made quite a respectable bun-<lb />dle and weighed a good deal.<lb /><lb />A week passed, and Harding an-<lb />nounced with great glee that he had<lb />broached the subject to Mrs. Hard-<lb />ing and that she had forgiven him<lb />for spending the money on Dumas<lb />as she had forgiven him the Victor<lb />Hugo purchase.<lb /><lb />oTl take them home tonight,TT he<lb />announced, and an hour or so later<lb />he went out for luncheon.<lb /><lb />While he was away the spirit of<lb />evil entered into come of the other<lb />clerks, and they substituted in the<lb />package for the books a number of<lb />large bricks and many newspapers.<lb />The books they stored away in a<lb />desk, and then they told everybody<lb />else what they had done.<lb /><lb />The whole office rejoiced to see<lb />Harding beading dcuble under his<lb />load of books that afternoon and<lb />epeculated on what Harding and<lb />Mrs. Harding would say and do and<lb />think when the package was opened<lb />in Brooklyn that night.<lb /><lb />The next morning the whole force<lb />was on hand early to Jaugh at Hard-<lb />ing, and when he arrived the pre-<lb />liminary guffaws were enjoyed, but<lb />Harding looked sad, so there was<lb />not much laughing.<lb /><lb />~~WhatTs the matter, old man?�T<lb />asked his dearest friend, the one<lb />who had substituted the bricks.<lb /><lb />~~T never saw sucha man for hard<lb />luck,TT answered Harding. ~~You<lb />know that edition of Dumas!�T<lb /><lb />oVes, What of it?�<lb /><lb />~~Well, Lhad my wife reconciled<lb />to my spending the money for the<lb />books, and Saturday night I took<lb />them home. I got on the elevated<lb />over in Brooklyn, and the guard<lb />wouldnTt let me take the package<lb />into the car. I left it on the plat-<lb />form and took my eyes off it for two<lb />minutes, and some confounded thief<lb />walked off with it.TT~"New York<lb /><lb />Four Widows.<lb /><lb />The chronicles of births and deaths<lb />kept by the minister of a New Eng-<lb />land parish in the eighteenth cen-<lb />tury afford much interesting and<lb />some amusing reading even at this<lb />late day.<lb /><lb />In the records of deaths in one<lb />Massachusetts town is chronicled<lb />the departure from life of three<lb />widows three successive years.<lb />Their names are so odd as to bring<lb />an involuntary smile to. the face of<lb />any reader who may chance ~upon<lb />them.
