DEVELOPMENT OF the natural resources Of Cuba.
The majority OF them would make the very best
material TO utilize. coming, as they do. from the
peasant class Of Spain and being acclmated

as industry and devotion TO duty are concerned, no

accomplished by the United States undertaking

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: As the holiday time approaches I am moved
to ask fer a little Of your space in which TO pro-
test against the Increasing abuses Of the custom
Of Christmas giving. The custom Of giving IS In
Itself noble one. for 1T blesses him that gives
ana him that takes But the circumstances which
attend much of the Christmas giving OF to-day
make 1t ignohle ana pernicous. These clrcum-'
stances the extravaganza OF the gifts. attack

often resorted TO In the OF gifts dOmcstics

Of the giving rendering the act largely perfunctory.
