Cook Spends I Christmas In Cuba (Letter from Paul J. Cook, of tlio U. .! 8. Uarlnes to William Glass of Ijx : Grands.) Camaguey, Cuba, Dec. 20, l'JIT. Dear Friend Bill: We hare moved acaln and are now In Camaguey, a city of about fiO.OOJ, built about 1676. There are s fow Americana hei;e but most of tlio peo ple are Cubans, Spaniards and Porto Illcana and Janiatans. 1 They ull talk Spanish but I am beginning to "hablar" a little and can get along fairly well. ' I like It here in the tropics as I would rather hunt the ahndoo of a palm tree than the heat of n ntovo any time; hero it Is tho day after Christmas and the days arc still hoi and the nights just cool enough to be comfortable. Wo had some Christ mas dinner yesterday. We had our galley (cook house) and mess tent all decorated with long palm branches and say, It looked fine and some dinner with Ice cream and cig ars to wind up with, but it seems more like tbo Fourth of July than Christmas. It never freezes here but It rains 'often at this lime of the year. They are harvesting tho cane for sugar which is the chief product of the Inland and from the syrup, be foro It Is made Into Biignr, is derived a high proof spirit which Is diluted with water and c.-.ilcj; rum. It Is sold In cafe;), grocery stores, hard ware and dry goods nlorca lunch countois and cantinas by the road side, for clzty cents a quart. In fact tho wholo island In flooded with it and naturally causes much trouble; It Is very strong and fairly good but ' Its a nigger's drink. Kvery one BtnoUes cigarettes here, even the littlo kids and old women. Wo can always get all the banan::s. coeoanuts, pineapples, oranges, plan tain, llmos and yams that wo want as they are very cheap hero. By tho way how are you all pro gressing? Working lots of ovcrtimo, I'll bet. And how aro all the boys? Is Jlmiuio Alnsworth still runninlg tho Oxwcld outfit and Is Vic. Ilogan getting the money yet? Say, I mire would like to be back there and "flange" a couple of "radical" Bliiys, as old 1)111 Walsh used to call thoni, Just to cce if I hud forgotten how or not. Well, Dill, I was sure glad to hear from you nnd hope you enjoyed your trip east this year. It Is almost time for "taps" so I must close, wishing Older Workers, Because of Skill, Steadiness and Reliability, Out class Younger Fellow. In several Western cities "young-old" men hnve formed uu orgnnlautloii that may become nation-wide In Its scope, for the purpose of securing employ ment for men who huve passed their prime. This is decidedly the day of young men. uiul the man who hus passed middle life without having laid up a competency or mustered some special line of work Is at a dreadful disadvan tage. Hut It has nhvuya been so. And age, sow us always, says the Christian Her ald, Is not so much a mutter of years us of declltrlng enthusiasm. We hove seen men on whose strong shoulders rests the burden of seven, eight and sometimes nine decades, full of uuwastid power of spirit and strength when It comes to freshness and Joy In tho work done und the vision fulfilled. The great work of the world ) be ing done and always hus been dime by men of middle life und more. Tour fifths of the bui;liies:i failures tire made by young men. It Is ripened experience and Judgment that cuuut In the busi ness world, us In any other. In physk'ul work the older man may bo outclassed by the younger' one ; but In Miles of work calling for skill, stead iness uud reliability the older uutu has the advuntiife.

CARE OF THE HUNTING DOGS Little Washing and Much Bruchlng Is Regarded Boet for the Health - of Any Canine. In the mutter of grooming, says Out lug, a cardinal principal l expressed In the bench show huudler's apothegm "little wushlng and much brusldug." Soap uud water are had for uny dotfs coat. Thuy wash away tlio uaturul oils, making the hair dry and brittle, and couu'nucntly the less washing" tho better the eout will bo. Thu dog, how ever, must bu kept clean. A good atllf brush vigorously and rturulurly. applied will kicp a pointer clean ns a whistle, and the bristles act as a flue tonic, stimulating the growth of the hair and keeping the skin underneath clean and healthy. For the setter's long coat the old English recipe Is eggs rubbed In, ul lowed to dry and then brushed out again. Tlio best combination Is to use the whites for cleaning nnd to feed the yellows raw mixed up with bread or biscuits. This Is the most effec tive use, for the whites cnutaln no oil and make tho cleaning easier, while tho yolks are most valuable food. If the price of egs, however. Is prohib itive, comment (white cornmeal very finely ground In the better) will an swer the stinie purpose. Rkiitea on tho Dour Barrel. !

To relievo the monotony of a recent homeward voyage, tho snioklng-saloon habitues of o Cnpe steamship Invented n new sweepstake. The bright Iden originated during a debate as to the ace of one of tlio women pussentfers. "Let's take nil the women in thu pas senger Htt," suggested the sportsman who thought of the sweepstake, "and each of us guess their Individual uses, add up the total, and baud bis o.';tl umte to tho purser. The purser has exact Information in thu njo declara tion of every passenger, lie can udd up the true ngi'rogulo, nnd the man who comes nearest to It takes tbo pool." The sweepstake whs carried out, but, so far from beguiling the tedium of a voyage It made It worse, relates a correspondent, for It ended In a cer tain number 'of embittered men, a wrathful purser, anil a nlilp's company of suspicious nnd (pun'rcllng women. First of all, the voiuen saluon pes sengers could tint understand, und much resented, men passengers walk ing round rhclr chair.i. making calcu lations with pencils, studying their hairs und complexions with perturb ing curiosity. Then, when the sweep was drawn, the mean man was embittered who hud secretly gone round to most of .the women passengers lint tried to elicit their ages. The mean man's aggregate estimate was 4."0 years under tho win ner's guess. 'The Innocent man was also embittered who had gone round to women asking them to give him their Judgment as to other women's ages. The Innocent man's estimate was COO years above the winner's guess. And tho purser was most embittered of all, for not one wuiaau passenger would speak to him the rest of the voyage. v j NEWS OF LA GRANDH j Works at Drugstore Wm.
