A Volunteer in Cuba,
About one’month before we came
home, in anticipation or tho ordei
Col. Berner somewhat relaxed the
Ptringent orders which kept us
close about the camp. Officers
and men were permitted to visit
Puerto Principe, the capitol of the
province, andj which was about
twenty miles away. At first, only
two or three men from each com
pany were permitted to go at a
timtf. All who went came back
with great tales ot the wonders of
the oldJCuhan city and her popu
lation of 45,000 souls. Puerto
Principe soon became a sort of
Mecca for us all and it was indeed
a relief^ from the, monotony of
camp life.
Iu coropanyjwith five other offi
cers*! visited the'famous old cap
itol city, whicn was named by Co
lumbus, (Puerto Principe)
which now bears the name he gave
it but has b6en moved back; fifty
twomiles from any coast and is no
port at all.
I believe I have before mention
ed the fact of outride from the de
i pot to the hotel in the ‘volantes’
{the famous two wheeled vehicles,
and steered by a Cuban who aits
upon his horse hitched iii' a long
pair of shafts.
Each voiante carried two pas
sengers and our three vehicles
bucking and swaying from side to I
side over the rough struts formed
a little procession which seemed
to attracjrconsiderable attention.
| We landed at Hotel Grao and
wsre soon quartered in an apart
ment, half a room and half aver-
Janda. A cheap washstand. a
cheaper mirror, an endless towel,
a large white bowl and a tin pitch
er, six large rough cots and two
Hiairs censtituied the furniture m
>ur room,
It was on the second floor and
he whole west side opened out up
in a sort of court yard bdow.
Across this court we could see
,wo ponies in their stall below.
The clerk who spoke English io
ornaed us that it was the best he
Jtould do for us, as the hotel was
jgrowded. After visiting the room
Bf two American prospectors we
■rere glad we did not arrive in
Hmo for a room.
I This was said robe the best ho
gfil in the city and no doubt was.
She meals were excellent (accord
ing to Cuban methods.)and were!
jr rved with considerable style,
b, Ail the officers of the 15th Inft. i
1 S'h Cavalry (tegulais) who
Ht, 1 their wives with them boarded
■Ms n at this ho.el.
About 10 o'clock the night of our
arrival we met Dr. a native of
N. C. who served as a surgeon in
the Cuban army the last two years
of the war. He was proprietor of
the American hotel and he insist
ed that we take a midnight lunch
with him, which we did. At the
table an American came in to take
our order. One ot our party asked
him where he was from and be re
plied Chattanooga, Tenn. and that
he was from the 3d Tenn.
which had been mustered uu 1 about
three months.
1 asked him if he knew Price
Connally and he replied affirma
tively. I then asked him if he
knew Peach Snapp, when the
broad smile upon his face, told me
yes before hie lips uttered the re
ply. This young man’s n.yne was
Whittaker.
>iext day we visited various
points of interest about the city.
Early in the day we met a very in
telligent and neatly dresssd young
Cuban, who had been educated at
Orange N. J. and spoke our lan
guage like an American. We ask
ed him to join our party, but he
informed us that he was a book
keeper for a large mercantile es
tablishment and must go to his
work.
We offered to pay him his wages
for the day and all expenses which
he refused, but he said he would
accompany us if his employer
would consent.
We all went with him and fi.st
made several purchases at the store
which all intended making anyway
and he introduced ui to the pro
prietor, who seemed anxious to do
anything to please us.
When the young man asked for a
day off, it was readily granted and
we had a very nice and gentleman
ly interpreter and guide for the day.
At his suggestion we visited an
insane assplum and sort of infirm
ary. Our young guide knew the
Superintendant and introduced us.
Before going around the asylum
proper, we were taken into the in
firmary where we found sitting in
a large arm chair an American and
-a leper.
Wallace in his Ben Hur, I thn’t
had too vividly portrayed the vic
tims to this loathsome disease, bu'
had he gazed upon this man, once
a citizen of Columbus Ohio, the
story of the lepers would have

*

If so, there must be some
| trouble with its food. Well
! babies are plump; only the
f sick are thin. Are you sure
! the food is all right ? Chil
| dren can’t help but grow;
s they must grow if their food
| nourishes them. Perhaps a
f mistake was made in the
! past and as a result the di
i gestion is weakened. If that
s is so, don’t give the baby
j a lot cl medicine; just use
I your every-day common
| sense and help nature a
= little, and the way to do
I it is to add half a teaspoon
| ful of
i scon’s
| EMULSION
to the baby’s food three or
. four times a day. The gain
will begin the very first day
you give it. It seems to
correct the digestion and
[ gets the baby started right
i again. If the baby is nurs
r ing but does not thrive, then
l the mother should take the
j emulsion. It will have a
! good effect both upon the
\ mother and child. Twenty-
E five years proves this fact.

caused a deeper thrill through the
heart of bis readers.
With wide open eyes from
which the sight had gone out 12
years before, a face and hands
seamed with deep cracks, a skin
that seemed parched and dried,
and which was white and scaly in
spots, long finger nail* that appear
ed to have been ourned to a whit
ish crisp and with little tufts of
hair banging here and there upon
his head—this was one of our race,
in a foreign land, afflicted with the
most loathsome disease ever inflict
ed upon man since the day of
Christ. Is it a wonder that our
hearts went out in deepest pity to
this man?
Upon his breast was pinned a
Masonic badge and this was of ad
ditional interest to four of our par
ty. By his side slood his Cuban
wife from whose face a painter
might have drawn inspiration for
a master-piece representing Pa
tience.
A naif an hsur we spent with
this leper and learned the story ot
i.is life. As each of us bid him
good by, we dropped several Span
ish coins into the pocket of his
white duck coat and as we reached
the door, his wife with tears in her
eyes, exclaimed in Spanish, ‘‘it is
great to be an American.”
We saw about fifty subjects in
the asylum and one among them I
can never forget.
The Superintendant told our in
terpreter that the man who was a
mulatto was with Maceo when 'oe
was killed and hidden in the brush
near by, he saw him die. He was
constantly acting out the scene
which it is said made him a raving
maneac. He would fall upon the
floor of his cell and go through the
death struggles of Maceo in a most
realistic manner. At such a time,
he was in a perfect frenzy until he j
had acted out the death scene
when, after having lain dead a few
moments, he would arise subdued
in spirit.

African Limbless
Cotton Seed Free....
Anyone who sends one dollar for a year’s subscription to the At
i lanta Semi-Weekly Journal can get postpaid one pound of the cele
( brated African Limbless Cotton Seed without charge.
A pound of these seed will plant one-fifth of an acre, and with
• proper attention should yield enough to plant a crop.
I The seed were tested in a list of thirty varieties by the Georgia
t Experiment Station and a bulletin recently issued by Director Red
ding shows that the African Limbless Cotton produced 70 pounds
i more per acre than any other variety, ar.d 161 pounds more per acre
i than the average of thirty leading varieties.
© The African Limbless Cotton produced 780 pounds of lint per acr®,
1 which is nearly four times the average on the farms of the South.
I This shows what high fertilization and thorough culture will do
•with these excellent Seed. The value of the product, counting cotton
1 at 5 cents and seed at 13 cents a bushel, was over $45 per acre. The
, cost of fertilizers used was $-1.77 per acre.
I The Journal does not guaran tee results, but the result of the test
at the Experiment Station manes it worth a farmer’s while to teat
l these seed when he can get them for nothing.
i The Journal brings you the NEWS OF THE WORLD TWICE A
WEEK with hundreds of articles of special interest about the farm,
1 the household, juvenile topics, etc., and every southern farmer
i should have the paper.
You don’t have to wait a week for the news, but get it twice as
often as you do in the weeklies, which charge the same price.

and who was known to be a warm
advocate of Ripans Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,

the purpose of learning the particu

employed a physician and did so on
the last occasion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no beneficial
results. I had -ver had any faith
in patent ir.c-l'ohies, but having seen
Ripans Tabuies recommended very
highly in the New York Herald con
