Cuba Libre.
A prophecy, now strangely fulfilled, writ
ten by Joaquin Miller eighteen years ago.
Conns a cry from Cuban waters,
From the warm, dusk Antilles,
From the lost Atalanta's daughter,
Drowned in blood as drowned in seas;
Comes a. cry of purpled anguish—
Seo her struggles, hear her cries!
Shall she live, or shall she languish?
Shall she sing, or shall she rise?
Shall she rise by all that’s holy!
unail she five and snail she last;
Rise as we. when crushed and lonely.
From tlhe blackness of the past?
Bid her strike! 1.0, i; is written
Blood for blood and life for life.
Did her smite as she is smitten;
Stars and stripes were born for strife.
Once we flashed h< r light of freedom,
lights that dazzle.l tier dark eyes
Til! she could but yrarnmg need them,
Reach her hands and try to rise.
Thon they stabbed In i choked nw, drowned
her;
Ah' these rustling chains that bound her!
O, these rubbers at 'her throat!
An I the land that forged these fetters?
A.-k livo Inimlr. d years of n> ws.
Stu!., and I lion.l serew for their betters?
Inquis lions I banished Jews!
C .ulus and slavery' What remainder

live on the plainest of fare, to see a box
from home coming. Then think of the,

many things needful; how they long for
home and some soft, cool hand to bathe
their burning brow while the fever rages.
Wo cannot do too much for our soldiers.
While some minister to their comfort In
one way others do tlm same in another. I
give you a little clipping from The New
York Herald to show how anxious all are
to do something for our soldiers:
"The ladies of Jersey City have determin
ed to make the warriors at the front as
comfortable as possible. They banded to
gether some time ago and tried to decide
just what to do lo'r the heroes who are
fighting in Cuba.
“ 'Bet’s send chocolates,' said one young
woman who knows little about war
'* ‘No, let's Send handkerchiefs.’ said an
other.
" 'Tooth b’-ushes.* volunteered a third,
and 'baking powder.' a fourth, but none of
the suggestions seemed to strike home.
"Finally some one made a brilliant sug
gestion: 'W' will send nightshirts.' she
said, and it was so agreed. Since then the
Lenten Society has been making night
shirts, and as fast as they are made they
are sent to Miss Mary Deshar, of the hos
pital corps. Washington, and through her
they are sent south.
"For the benefit of me inquisitive let it
be known thrh for the sick soldiers the
‘nighties' are made to button In the back,
while for tlm others they button in front.
Not satisfied with making these gowns
now. Hie 1: dies have pledged themselves
to make them during their summer vaca
tions instead of lounging in hammocks or
going on straw rides.

Jennie E. Gkeen, Denmark, lowa,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ I had been sick at my monthly
periods for seven years, and tried
almost everything' I ever heard of. but
without any benefit. Was troubled
with backache, headache, pains in the
shoulders and dizziness. Through my
mother I was induced to try Lydia E.

it has done me so much good. lam

Mrs. Harry Hardy, Riverside, lowa,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of
her struggle with serious ovarian trou
ble, and the benefit she received from
the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound. This is her letter:
“ How thankful I am that I took
vour medicine, i was troubled for
two years with inflammation of the
womb and ovaries, womb was also very
low. I was in constant misery. 1 had
heart trouble, was short of breath and
could not walk five blocks to save my
life. Suffered very much with my
back, had headache all the t.imo, was
nervous, menstruations wi re irregular
and painful, had a bail dis charge and
was troubled with bloating. 1 was a
perfect wreck. Had doctored and
taken local treatments, butstillwas no

The Bible does not teach us that it we

that we should not help her now. For did
