THE END.
SUNSHINE PEOPLE.
They Are the DivineIy-AppOintedP Pro-
mOters of Optimism Who
Keep Others Sweet.

''Why do you hurry to catch the $3.50
train, when you know there's another
that leaves at 8:45, which would get lis
into town in plenty of time?" asked
one young lady of another, as the two
were fastening toward a suburban rail
road station.
Because" replied the other, with a
little apologize laugh, II always like
to get in on the sunshine mans train"
''Pray, who is the sunshine man 2" in
quired her companion. THE conduc-
tor?'
''Oh, my, no." was the laughing re-
Spouse. Hes the crossest bear that
ever was. But there's the dearest little
old gentleman who goes into town
every morning on the $3.50 train. L doU't
know his name, and yet it does seem as
if 1 knew him better than anybody else
in town. He just radiates cheerful
ness as far as you can see him. There
is always a smile on his face, and L
never heard him open his mouth except
to say some kind or courteous or good
natured thing. Everybody bows to him,
even strangers, and he bows to erery-
body, yet never with the slightest h mt
of presumption or familiarity. 1t just
warns the cookies of ones heart to see
his shining face, the twinkle of his eye,
and the bright little flower he always
wears in his buttonhole. If the weather
is fine, his jolly compliments make it
seem finer; and if it is raining, the
merry way III which he speaks of it IS
as good as a rainbow. Everybody who
goes in regularly on the $3.50 train
knows the sunshine man. It's his train.
There's nothing else to distinguish it
from the 8:45, or any other. You just
hurry up a little, and I'll show you the
sunshine man, this morning. It's foggy
and cold, but if one look at him doesn't
cheer you up so that you'll want to
whistle, then I'm no judge of human
nature
1t was a sweet and genuine tribute of
human sympathy which this young
lady paid TO the overhowing kindness
OF the sunshine man." There are a
few such men-and women, too-in
every community, and God seems to
have set them there to keep the rest of
the people from getting too sour and
respondent and self-absorbed and I'M
eighborly. They are the divinely-ap-
pointed promoters of optimism, these
sunshine folk. Most people have
tendency to grow somber as they grow
older-especially when they are abroad
among strangers. One glance at the
faces of people in any street car will
prove this.-Standard.

which was closed.
Then the door was flung open and a
stream of light poured forth. We en-

rounded by his friends, and little on
one side was the detected group of

The marshal, now abject, mean and

who raised him as we entered, saying:

WHEN WE BEGAN.
fury That People Appreciated
Natural Scenery.

In the eighteenth century people haN
begun to appreciate natural scenery,
but chiefly when it took the form of ex-
tensive prospects, or, what we should
now call, perhaps slightingly, piano.
ramic views. The novelists of that CEN
fury did not place their characters
among deliberately arranged scenery.
But the essayiSts of the period had
noted the tendency of the age, and
strove to explain the matter philO-
sophically. Thus we read in Addison's
Spectator: The mind of man naturally
hates everything that looks like re-
straint upon it, and is apt to fancy itself
under Il sort of confinement, when the
sight is pent up in a narrow compass,
and shortened on every side by the
neighborhood of walls or mountains.
On the contrary, spacious horizon is
an image of liberty, where the eye has
room to range abroad, to eXpatiate at
large on the immensely of its views, and
to lose itsAlf amidst the variety of OBJ
jects that offer themselves 10 its OBJ
servation. Such wide and undetermined
prospects are as pleasing TO the fancy
as the speculations of eternity OF in
finitude are to the understanding. But
if there be a beauty of uncommonness
joined with this grandeur, as in the
troubled ocean, heaven adorned with
stars and meteors or a spacious land
scape cut out into rivers, woods, rocks
and meadows, the pleasure still grows
upon us, as it arises from more than

against the side of the wall, to let the
poor wretch die in such comfort as
could be, and, seeing my chance at last,
made my way to the front.
De Gomeron was half way down the
stairs by this, and when our swords
met, he did not for the moment recog-
nize me. But at the second pass he
realized, and the torchlight showed him
pale to the forehead.
"You!" he said, between his teeth.
eyes, I, from under the Seine;" and
had run him through the throat but
for our position where the advantage
was all his and my reach too short. He
had backed a step up as spoke. Wheth-
er it was my sudden appearance, or
what, I know not; but from this mo-
ment his bravado left him, and he now
fought doggedly, and for dear life.
There was hush behind me, and the
light became brighter as more torches
were brought, and could now see the
camarguer, white as a sheet, with two
red spots on his cheeks.
''Do you like fighting a dead man,
monsieur" 1 asked, as 1 parried a
thrust in tierce.
He half groaned, and the red spot on
his cheek grew bigger, but he made no
answer, and step by step I forced him
upward.
He had been touched more than once,
and there was a stain on his white satin
doublet that was broadening each mo-
ment. whilst thrust and parry grew
weaker, and something, know not
what, told me he was my man.
But he was a brave man if ever there
was one, and he pulled himself together
as we reached the upper landing for one
last turn with the death that logged
him. So fierce was the attack he now
made, that had he done so but a mo-
ment before, when the advantage of
position was his, know not what had
happened. But nCw-it was different.
He was my man, was carried away by
the fire within me, or else in pity l
might have spared him-but there is no
need to speak of this more. He thrust
too high. 1 parted and returned, so
that the cross hilt of my rapier struck
DULY over his heart, and he died where
he fell.
But one word escaped him, some long
lost memory, some secret of that iron
heart came up at the last.
''Denise!" he gasped, and was gone,
I stood over him for a moment, a
drumming in my ears, and then heard
the ringing of cheers and the rush of
feet. Then a half dozen strong shDul-
ders were at the door before me, and as
it fell back with a crash I sprang in
and took tall, slim, white-robed figure
in my arms and kissed her dear face
again and again.
One by one those in the room stepped
out and left us together, and for once
a brave heart gave way and she sobbed
like child on my shoulder.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
Gen Gome1's Declaration simplifies the
Situation on the Island-CommIs-
sioner r. p. Porter's Views

HAVANA, Feb. 4.-Mr. Robert P.
Porter before sailing for Miami, Fla,
made the following statement: "While
the situation here has been improved
and simplified by the declaration of
Gen. Gomez that he will Immediately
take part in the pacifcation of Cuba,
the advantage thus gained should
be followed up by the American
authorities. The entire policing of
the island should be done by the Gu
bans themselves. The real police work
is IN fact, now in the hands of the Gu
ban soldiers, and law and order are
well maintained. There should not
be a moments delay in the organize
ton and equipment of these civil
guards.
The bulk of the American soldiers
must be taken out of Cuba by April.
There is really no ecessity for more
than two regiments in each province
to serve as back ground of support
for the Cuban police. In giving the
best of these people employment, all
the more will be left of the relief fund
for those who must be helped back to
the land.
The feeling of distrust between the
Cubans and the Americans has been
temporarily checked by the message of
Gen. Gomez to President Mckinley and
the presidents reply through Secretary
Hay. If the younger military elements
Of both armies will now get together
and complete the several schemes for
policing the provinces which at this
moment are awaiting crystalliza-
ton the problem will be solved. De-
lay in this work will be fatal. If such
men as Gen. Gomez; Gen. MonteagudO,
of Santa Clara province; Gen. Mayia
Rodriguez of the Province o. Piner Del
Rio; Gen. Pedro Betancourt, of Matan-
zas province and others whom know
personally, will assure President Nc
Kinley and Gov. Gen. Brooke that law
and order will be maintained, their
pledge will be carried out at any cost.
!, There is too much disposition to
discuss minor details. There is too
much hesitancy in bringing matters to
head. In the province of Santa Clara
MOnteaguado's admirable policing
plan has been already put in operation.
and it is one, as Gen. Leonard Wood
told me yesterday, which is along right
lines The entire police work IN that
province, so Maj. Logan, provost mar
shall, informed me. has been done by
Cubans since the evacuation.
why not take up at once and dis
pose of this matter? Things must be
kept moving in Cuba or summer will
overtake us with too many troops
there. Our soldiers themselves fully
realize the situation. They frankly
say that their chief occupation is to
guard each other while their chiefs in
Washington, Havana and Re-
medors are exchanging condolences.
The younger officers on both sides
should come together and evolve pre-
liminary policing plans and get those
into working order without delay.
Once this is well done, matters will
take care of themselves in Cuba. At
least that is my opinion"
