ST } THE BEST CURRENT VERSE. } A Little Help. | Where's neip in seeming cheerful When a body’s feeling blue, In looking calm and pleasant, j If there's nothing else to do, If other folk are wearing, And things are all awry, Don't vex yourself with caring; "Twill be better by and by. There's help in keeping tally Of our host of happy days. There's never one that dawneth, But it bringeth cause to praise The Love that ever watcheth, The Friend that’s ever near. | So, though one tryst with sorrow, One needs must dwell with cheer, When troubles march to meet you Salute them at the door. Extend both hands to greet them, Their worst will soon be o'er. Beat down their stormy bugles With your own rejoicing drums, And, mailed in lofty courage, Accept whatever comes, —Margeret E. Sangster, in Youth's Companion. 4 My Old Maid Aunt, What's wrong with old maids? Fer’s I see ‘They're jes’ as nice as others be! There's Aunt Jennette—folks kind o’ smile I ‘low her shaw! ain't style; *s sort o’ prim an’ fond 0’ weye The* don’t go somehow nowadays. Old-fashioned, p’rhaps, an’ kind o’ slow, But jes’ as good as gold, you know! ‘Ain't never married, so I s'pose Old maid she is. But say, she knows The way to get a feller’s heart! ‘Will scold, you know, but takes his part ‘When other folks is down on him; Jes’ whispers soft: “Come upstairs, Jim; Jes’ tells him how she understands, An’ slips some pep’ mints in his hands. An’ Aunt Jennette, she has a way ‘©’ smiling when a chap’s at play; An’ when he hollers, don’t get mad, But stead o’ this, she says she’s glad, Explaining that she likes to hear Exuberance of spirits near. Say, I'll do anything, you bet, Fer old maids like my Aunt Jennette! =T. W. Burge in Orange Judd Farmer. The Tongue. “The boneless tongue, so small and weak, an crush and kill,” declares the Greek. “The tongue destroys a greater horde,” The Turk asserts, “than does the sword.” The Persian proverb wisely saith: “A lengthy tongue—an early death.” Or sometimes takes t “Don’t let your tongu “The tongue ca speed,” Chinese affirm. s form instead: ut off your head.” speak a word whose “outstrips the steed. Arab sages this impart: tongue’s great store-house 1s the heart.” From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung: “Though feet sh d slip, ne’er let the tongue.” ‘The sa “Wh Rev.

Tomas Estrada Palma, the President- Elect, Believes That Future of Island Depends on Ameri- can Friendship. The Cuban election for presidential and senatorial electors and members of the house of representatives and governors of provinces on January 1 resulted in the choice of electors who will cast their votes on February 24 for Gen. Tomas Estrada Palma for. president and Dr. Luis Estevez, once secretary of justice in Gen. Wood’s cabinet, for vice president of the re- public. There was practically no op- position at the polls, Gen. Maso, the opposing candidate, having with- drawn; but there were partisan ex- pressions of dissatisfaction. Gen. Palma was called by his political ene- mies the American candidate and the candidate of the burearcracy; but the best evidence is of at least ac- quiescence if not satisfaction. Gen. Palma may properly be called the American candidate in this sense —that he accepts the settlement of the whole Cuban question that was brought about under the Platt reso- lution. For this there could have been no other choice of a president so fit. He is a Cuban by birth and a lawyer by early training. His fa- ther was a rich planter in the prov- ince of Santiago when the so-called Ten Years’ war against Spain began in 1868, and his property was confis- Young Palma enlisted and attained high mil- itary rank, and he was at last chosen president of the provisional govern- After nearly nine carried to refused to eated and his wife was killed. ment of the island was he swear al! nin as the price of freedc hen the insurree- tion ended as released and he TOM RADA PALMA.

He returned to the United States, and made his home j at the village of Central Valley it New York, where he has kept school for Cuban boys. He has not been in Cuba for 20 years. In 1895 he became the head of the Cuban junta in New York? and did energetic service st Spain. He was elected the first president of the Cuban republic without an effort on | his part. He is now 66 years old, and he is a man in whom t conser- vative citizens both of Cuba and of the United States have confidence On the day after his election Mr. Palma declared that the principal ob- ject of the Cuban republic should be, | first of all, to secure the most friend- relations with the American peo- ple, who helped the Cubans in the of need. They should always bear in mind the work of the United States in helping them to obtain their independence from Spanish rule, At the same time they should iry to secure from the Washington rr t all the advantages possi- r products by reasonable the import duties, es- peci ar and tobacco, as this is the y for Cuba to eseape | the absolute ruin of these two indus- tries, which are the basis of its ac- tual wealth The sulking and dissatisfied party, whose leader is Gen.

The Formosan gold mines are situ- ated in the neighborhood of Kelung. The output of gold in 1898 was about 112 pounds; in 1899, 343 pounds, and for the first six months of 1900, 365 pounds. The gold is all sent to Japan. Eighteen peasants of the district of Tscherdinsk bearing the family name ‘ of Dyavol (devil) have sent a petition | to the czar asking for permission to change the name to Bugolubow (God beloved).
