HOG HEAVEN.

The Black Creek Literary Society will open with a debate. I was under the weather last week and as a result missed some mighty tine times.

Last week in r( ferring to the birth at" Samuel Snyder's I said they were "happy—girl at last." Now that- item should have read, "not happy—gWagain. It has been nothing but girls at their home.

The Christmas dinner given in honor of Valentine Miller by his tour daugh ters, at the home of William'Viere, -s the grandest affair of the sedkin. Feasting, music and singing ruled the day. Tne event was a bright, spot upon life's memory, and I regret that 1 was unable to Uc there.

Old Sandy got a handsome present off of the ChristmiK tree last Saturday flight. It was an elegant gold-plated writing set, an was the gift of Misi Verna Viere. Sandy said when it was handed him he felt the church floor sinking beneath his feet. He fe*'ls proud of his prebent.

On Moeday morning I received a box from Black creek. The contents of the box caused me to grin with g'ee. It contained cake, pie and turkey, compliments of the four sisters. Mrs. Samuel Snyder also 6ent a slice of cake. La me, if I didn't have a feast. God blf*s you. ladies. Long may you wave.

The Christmas tree at Mt. Zion church last Saturday night was a grand success, the house being packed. Many fine presents were received. I was unable to be present, my friend, Sandy, taking charge of my presents, which included chicken, candy, cake and such. The chicken was given by Mrs. Meda Morris and was highly appreciated as well BR the other gifts.

Friend Sandy and I didn't know we were so popular on the creek. We have more friends than we thought we had, and what is more precious than real, warm true-hearted friends? They brighten our despondent hours, they lighten our weary loads, smooth our rugged paths, and cheer our louely hearts. In spite of all our efforts we find it impossible to please every one. Some persons are too sanctimonious to •tand criticism and too sensitive to taku a joke. My enemies are not worth the poor compliment of a thought, and I have no time to waste in recrimination. Sandy and I wish all our readers, tbos* who appreciate lis, and those who do

POLLY PACSR.

POLICEMEN OF HAVANA.

They Area Bad Lot Generally and Must Soon Go.

TT

The Havana police who have been sa recently in revolt are a bad lot. They are not wholly without canse for rebelling, however. They have not been paid for many months and they have become desperate. Even American policemen would refuse to patrol their beats under such circumstances.

One of the first things to be done by the Amerioan offioera of ocoupation will be the policing of Havana. This will have to be done on new lines, for the present force is not an organization for which Americans would wish to be responsible. In the meantime Havana ia suffering from a state of affairs which verges on anarchy. The municipal police of Havana, composed of firemen, olaim that they are owed wages to the extent of $1,700,000. They have fonght for three years in the field and they have been paid in neither money nor glory. This is only one example.

Of course every one in Cuba knows that this state of affairs is dne to the corruption in army circles. The generals and higher officers get rich while their subordinates do not receive even the small wages to which they are entitled. No wonder the Spanish officials are loath to give np such opportunities.

Under the Spanish rule Havana has usually had half a dozen kinds of policemen. Of late years there have been the harbor police, the municipal police, the military police, the sanitary police, the governor's police and theorden publioos, or regular police. All these foroes still exist nominally, but the failure of the authorities to pay them has cauaed

US OltDRN PUBLICO, HAVANA POLICEMAN. great demoralization. The individual policeman, of whatever class, has the weakness that is oommon to ail Spanish officers. It is always possible to crosa his palm with a gold coin.

The orden pnblicos have been for the past two yenrs Havana'? real police force. They are part of the regular army of Spain and aro tho flower of it. Physioally they are better than the mass of Spanish soldierB and their intelligence ia much greater. They are under military discipline, and aB a whole they are a decidedly superior body of men.

The present chief, Paglieri, is a colonel in the army. He is said to have Italian blood in his veins. Colonel Paglieri affects a certain fierceness of appearanoe, which bas something of the dime novel in it, but he has proved an efficient chief.

Theorden pnblicos wear a distinctive army uniform. It is showy, but ia neat, and its wearer seldom beoomes slouohy. The delight of these guardians of peace ia when during the winter season a breath of bracing northern air chills the atmosphere sufficiently to admit of wearing au extra garment. Then they wear an overcoat with a capo and the red facing and bluo flaps make them what would be called in the States dandy policemen.

The orden publico in Havana isarmed from head to heels. The revolver and the clnb, whioh complete the outfit of the policeman in an American city, are with him but the beginning. He is so well equipped with weapons that his usefulness for quick aotion is impeded.

Part of the force is mounted. At every square is a mounted orden publico. His duties must become tiresome. For hour.s at a time he is compelled to remain an motionless as a statue. A •auoycnb driver, who is violating some municipal regulation, a bus driver, who gots on the wrong side of tho street, or truckman who disputes the right of way with a carriage, aro welcome ovents.

The orden publico is a most efficient force. The members aro uniformly civil anil courteous. While the Spaniard and tho Cuban both have a respect for authority that is almost servile in Its nature, they would not stand tho clubbing that it is supposed to be the inalienable right of the policeman in all countries to inflict. The orden puhlicoi are mobilized with military precision. At the time of the army riots iu Jannary they were more relied on by Cap luin General Blanco than the regular troops. They charged the mob and for aeveral days they guarded the paiaoa.

Ju»t what Spain will do with the in pnblicoa when she la finally fotm4

to disband them and take them out of Havana in a problem whose solution is troubling Spanish statesmen not a little. They are not wanted in Spain, and this is the reason:

Years ago, when a truce was oonclud6d with the Carlists, the agreement was made that the Carlist soldiers Bhonld

authorities got so far behindhand in payment and were nnable to maintain the other olaEses of police except in a spasmodio way, the orden publico, being part of the army, could not strike.

Now, however, when its members go back to Spain, they will be quite likely to demand a settlement. For this reason, and beoanse of their usefulness and experience in preserving order, they will probably be among the last of the Spanish troops to be embarked.

When our military commission takes JiQld °f affairs Havana, an Amerioan police system will probably be established and all traces of the Spanish organization wiped out. This will mean that the secret police of Havana, an institution whioh has greatly annoyed visiting Americans in the past, will be abolished. It is modeled after the Frenoh system and is thoroughly un-Amerioan.

Probably the policing of Havana will be done in something of the same manner aB the policing of Santiago provinoe Is being done nnder the direction of General Wood. He has selected for the •ervioe the best of the Onbyn soldiers and has placed at the head of the force General J. D. Castillo, a gallant insurgent leader, who is in every way fitted for the position.

General Castillo is a native of Santiago, but was educated in Paris and Philadelphia. He received the degree of M. D. from the University of Pennsylvania and served for two years in the United States navy as surgeon. It was in this capacity that he accompanied the Jeannette relief expedition. He left our navy to join the insurgent army when the last Cuban rebellion broke out.

General Castillo will follow General Wood's plan and organize the mounted police of Santiago province on something of the same lines as those on which tho rurales of Mexioo were formed. Snch Cubans as have voluntarily surrendered their arms and have acknowledged American authority are eligible^. Besides the officers, there will be 240 enlisted men. The rates of pay of tho enlisted men will be the came as in the United States army, while the officers will get two-thirds of the pay of officers in the American army.

General Castillo has charge of the preliminaries of the appointments, but he must select capable men who have served in the Cuban army, and the offiI oers must have held similar or a higher I rank in the Cuban army. This police I force will have a large territory to cover, and it is expected that so soon ss the
