A Hit With the Senoritas.

miring the second occupation at Cuba, in 1906-1907, I was stationed as a marine at Palmyra. One day, being sent to Cienfuegos, I obtained permission to wear the blue uniform, as I intended to make a hit with the senoritas. On my way to the station I stepped into some ashes, getting my trousers full of them. After I got into the train I went out on the back platform of the car I was in, took them off. and began to shake them out. The train was going with great speed and the draft promptly snatched the trousers out of my hands, and I landed at Cienfuegos with the fireman's overalls on. —Chicago Journal.
