At the little railway station,
For a northern train belated

In her own room resting, waited.

Messages of life and death.

Messages Of grief and woe,
Phantom thought forever passing
Backward forward, to and fro.
In her face read the story
OF a heart by sorrow weighted;
During respite from her duties
She her story sad related.

Many coffee men would readily
be references in proof of this
statement. While the director

not time at their disposal to make
special analyses of soils for coffee
investors, those that they have
made for sugar planters-compre

preston that DR.. Maxwell has set
himself up as a final authority

within the immediate scope OF his

proper to say, are shared
by very many enthusiasts on
forestry both here and elsewhere.
One who thinks similarly with
him on the relation of trees to
rainfall was quoted in this paper
the other day-Mr. SouSs, the
veteran coffee planter of Guate-
mala. Indeed, the forestry auth

quite united upon the opinions
now put forth by DIR. Maxwell
and his colleagues on the planters
committee. 1t may he the BULLE
