The Are <>f our soldiers in the recent
frontier war in India had been very good,
and all the officer* who had been at Oni
diirn-an agreed that our long range rifle
fire there had been exceptionally accurate.
“If I were, to describe the effects," said
Ixird Wolseley, "of the volley firing, I
would say that from the moment the ene
my's lino came within the zone of fire of
2,000 yards, up to the time when they
ceas'd to advance. Irecause they were
knocked down and killed by the hundreds
and thousands—our line virtually and lit
erally pumped lead into them. The fire
was so heavy that no one could live under
it.”
That is ipiite true; disciplined volleys
are a tremendous weapon both of offense
and defense, but individual marksman
ship Is also of great importance, as doubt
less Lord Wolseley would be the first to
admit. Nothing so much depresses an ene
my awaiting an attack in partial shelter
as the knowledge that the instant a man
exposes himself ho will get a bullet crash
ing through his brain.. —London Specta

.1 Wonderful Hooxier.
I was up in Broome county for Christ
mas,” said the truthful man, "and they
told me about Tierney's rooster. Tierney
is a farmer of New Milford, a small vil
lage in the county. He took it Into his
head to have a chicken potpie for dinner,
so he went out and caught a rooster, a
spring chicken. He ehoopedits head off
and threw the body down, but instead of
lying still the body got up and walked off.
It ditl not appear to be in pain. It walked
around the same as usual, but of course it
could not see. Tierney fed it. putting the
corn down its neck. From the time of ita
beheading the rooster gradually recovered
and today is as well as any rooster, with
the exception that it is somewhat handi
capped by having no head. The head is in
a bottle of alcohol while the rooster walks
about. "—New York Press.
A Moody Explanation.
Mr. Moody. the evangelist, publishes
the following characteristic statement:
“While in Denver recently I was anxious
to get a home for the Young Men s Chris
tian association of that city. There are
40.000 young men there, many of them
broken in health and many from the east
who should l*> looked after. Mr. Ross, a
wealthy and benevolent man. was called
upon, and he thought I was asking too
much when I urged him to give 175.000.
Then I wrote Mm, mid he thought I was
too jsTsistent. and I think I was. I apolo
gized, and we are good friends."

(or a free ai d ii.<L pendent Cuba
Under the declaration of war we were
not to acquire Cuba but only to eee
that a stable government was estab
li.-htd on the island. Since the San
tiago victory no disposition lias been
shown on our part to retain sovereign
ly over the island. In making this
claim, therefore, Gomez practically
appears to forfeit the island io the
United States for a money considera
tion. Possibly the island would be
cheap at $60,000,000 Gomez lias shown
a good deal of the old bandit spirit
since the Spaniards were driven out of
the island. He seems to have no real
appreciation o! the true position of
the Unite-.* States and our “humanita
rian policy." He wants us to pay
them for his trouble in maintaining
the revolution which would never have
succeeded but for our intervention,
while at the same time he professes to
want Cuba to be free and independent
and altogether sovereign. Gomez is a
very old man, and his mind is not so
clear as it used to be The nervous
strain has evidently told upon him.
The people of this country will not
consent to pay his soldiers the $60,-
000,000, and receive nothing in return.
If we were to do that we would run
directly counter to our professions and
declarations at the beginning of the
war. If we should do as much for
him we should, logically, do a? much
for Aguinaldo, and should pension
President Dole of Hawaii and reward
the American sympathizers in Porto
Rico. Such are the troublesome ques
tions which have already risen out of
the war and which the expansionists
would intensify.—Macon News.
