Can’t Go It Alone. “It will be impossible for me, or for any one else,” says President-elect Palma of Cuba, “to establish a strong and stable government in Cuba, un less tariff concessions are made to us by the United States.” Just so, but the United States is under no obligations to grant such a concession to Cuba to its own detri ment. If Cuba cannot support itself —some time —alone, there is a way out of that kind of a wilderness. Come into the United States. What is the use of deferring that inevitable conclusion? The event is predestined and would have been effected before this had it not been for the lunacy of that Teller resolution, whereby, to secure unanimity in the support of the war against. Spain, Congress “con fessed” that the United States didn’t want Cuba. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for hones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.

Hickok, better known as “Wild Bill,” came east on what he called a “redhot trail to learn something,” he stopped one Saturday night at a hotel in Port land, Me. When he wont to his room to seek rest, he found that the adjoining room Was occupied by a company of fashion able and rich young sports of Portland who, it did not take him long to dis cover, were playing an interesting game of poker for high stakes. In vain did he try to sleep. He could not do so, and after an hour arose, dressed himself and knocked on the door. Instantly all was silent; but he in quired politely that as they would not let him sleep would they let him come in and watch the game? They did so and were impressed with the appearance of the man and,asked if he would join them. “I will if you will post me; but, you know, I’m a tenderfoot east,” he re plied. They were willing to “post” him, and, playing awkwardly, making blun ders and asking questions, but seem ingly greatly interested, he continued to play until daylight, when he put his winnings, some $1,500, in his pocket. “I thank you, gentlemen,” he said, ‘‘and I’m rather glad you would not let me sleep. I’ll be here until tomorrow, so keep me awake some more.” But the players did not appear again. —Detroit Free Press. Borrowing Habits of Poets. On Tennyson’s habit of failing to recognize clearly his own borrowings from the classical poets, Mr. Lang ob serves that the poets have always had a kind of regal indifference to their own lighter productions. Mr. Lang says: “Scott did not care; no, not when he found that he had unwittingly taken a line from a poem by the valet of a friend. In the preface to a little col lection of verses from the novels he frankly declares that he cannot pretend to be certain which are of his own com position and which are not. “To take an example from the level at the foot of Parnassus, I once read, in an American paper, some lines at tributed to Mr. Austin Dobson. ‘Not bad for Dobson/ I said freely to a friend. But it was proved on me that the rhymes were my own! A bard who forgets his own verses may be par doned for remembering those of other people and mistaking a half line of somebody else’s for his own. I dare say that Tennyson did this occasion ally, but he could hardly say that ‘the sun sets’ without being accused of un conscious borrowing.” Good jobs are more plentiful than g'uod men tu fill them.
