The first Impression Of the islands IT,
oneexpectinga semi-tropical appearance
is disappointing On account OF the
cedar. This is the prevailing trco; in.
deed. all the islands are covered with
this scraggy foliage. The trees for the
most part are small, and <ti% rest to us a
northern latitude am poor soil. 1t j,
true that they are southern ccdars
which originally driftcI over from
Florida, ana some people might try t.
call them cypress, aud give them q

are northern, and in ,ach contrast tG

1t Caused Strong Men to Shed Tears

1t Caused Strong Men TO Shed Tears.
As rule railroad men are about as
hard-hearted as the average, says the
Los Angeles FINES, and it takes some
thing out Of the ordinary run TO bring
tears TO their eyes, but whole crew on
one of the Southern Pacifcs local trains
shed tears early the other morning, ard
little black dog without friend in
the world caused it,
The Cotton local had Just passed a
little station called Nahant. when the
engineer saw man lying at full length
On the track only a few hundred yards
III front of his engine.
The usual danger signal was given.
bnt the man cid not move. and the
TIA was brought TO standslill few
ee from him.
a glance at the body from close range
showed the engineer that the poor lei
low was stone dead 10 few minutes
the conductor. engineer. and trainmen
were standing around the body.
Up to this time they had not observed
the presence OF lutle black dog, but
as soon as they approached MS master
he made dash for the nearest man,
and for few seconds fought with all
his puuy strength 10 keep the men
away.
They were there for the purpose of
examining the body. however, TO sc
what could be done, aud the little
dog was rudely kicked to one side.
He did not howl with pain a,
a dog generally does when kicked.
He simply gathered himself mp ana
quietly made his way between the
mems legs until he reached his dead
masters head, when ne placed his little
face BIZ the side of his masters and az
ter looking at the intruders few sec
onds began to whine, and big tears were
noticed running down his nose.
Il have often heard, said one OF the
witnesses. that dogs have been known
to she'd tears, but | never believed II
until then, and have lots more respect
for the dog family than | ever before
had. When | looked around at my
companions there was not dry eye.
The old man, who was probably a
section hand, was removed from the
track with more care than is usually
displayed in such cases. His blankets
were carefully spread, and his remains
were handled as gently as a mother
would have done, and all on account Of
the tears in that little dogs eyes. As
soon as the dog discovered that our
roughness had disappeared he became
friendly, and seemed 10 appreciate what
we were doing for his master, but we
could not induce him to leave his dead
friend, and when the train pulled out
he was still sitting at the old mans
head"
The old man was probably walking
down the track during the night when
train came along and ran over him.
Its whole length must have passed over
his body, but strange as it may seem,
there were only few bruises about the
