THE BANANA PLANTER.

Philosophic Calm Is Never

"The small banana planter of Hon.

"The small banana planter of Hon
iuras is the happiest creature on
earth" said a local shipper, reports the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, "andj
nothing ever removes him from his
philosophic calm. The frightful hur-ii
ricane which ragged along the Hondu-
rian coast on the 1st of the month abb
solutely destroyed scores of planta-
tions. The trees were plucked out of
the earth like blades of grass, the
fragile buildings were blown into kind

to tell the tale. Happening anywhere.
else, such a disaster would have been
a tragedy of the first order, and meant
incalculable suffering, but nature is

few clippings in the ground and wait,
for them to take root and bear. The.

clippings and he does the waiting

too tired. he may rebuild his residence.
This is done by tying native rope
around four suitable trees and laying
cane stalks crossways over the top.
Other cane stalks are now and then
used for sides, but they are really un-
necessary, as the Honduranian concep-
ton of privacy is very vague, and there
is never anything to steal. So, as
matter of fact, the hurricane was much
less calamitous than it appeared to
those who are unfamiliar with native
conditions. The principal loss whichit
entailed was in damage to the present
banana crop, and the fruit grows with
such rapidity that three months ought
to completely repair it. Meantime, the

THE ENTRY INTO PONCE.
Enthusiastic Reception of Gen. Miles
and His Troops by the
Natives.

Late in the day Gen. Miles and Gen.
Wilson, in full dress uniform and beau
tiful white gloves, received the homage
of Ponce from the balcony OF the
alcaide's palace, writes Richard Hard
ing Davis, in Scribner's. They made
very fine appearance, but as no men go
unshaven in Porto Rico except priests,
the populace were greatly disturbed TO
find that it was Gen. Miles and not Gen.
Wilson who was the commanding of
ficer of our army. He should have
been an archbishop" they said, but
later he convinced them that the mus
tache does not make the soldier, Moth
ing could have been more enthusiastic
or more successful that their open air
reception. The fire companies paraded
IN their honor, and ran over three OF
their own men, which gave the local
Red Cross people grand chance to ap-
pear on the scene, each man wearing
four red crosses, to carry away the
wounded. This created some CONFUSION,
as the firemen preferred to walk, but
the Red Cross people were adamant and
bore them off on stretchers, whether
they would or 10. The only thing want
fng to complete the picture was an
American flag. 1t was only detail, but
the populace seemed to miss it. 1t was
about the only article with which the
expedition was not supplied. Frantic
cabling to Washington repaired the
loss. and within a week flags were sent
all over the island and raised upon the
roofs of many a city hall. Ponce itself
held more foreign flags than we had
ever seen. Judging from their number
one would have thought that the popu-
lation was composed entirely OF Eng
lish, Germans, French and Swiss, and
members of the Red Cross society.

Almost every one has experienced
the rest and momentary inactior
which come between periods of ex-
cessive mental or physical effort, espe-
cially upon the eve of some decisive
attempt that is likely to be severe
tax upon the energies. 1t was some
thing of this feeling which gave addi-
tional relish to the tobacco as we sat
there in the starlight, thinking, plan
ming, speculating. Diaz understood
but little English, and, with the full
length of the bridge between US, there
was scarcely a possibility of his com
pretending what we said; so now and
then we ventured a remark which
showed the drift of our thoughts. At

by men who are now beyond the possi-
oility of want IF the relief and over
confidence which come with the first
small successes in fortune building.
They are rays of light which brighten
the years of weary effort and discour-
agement; and the eternal, irrepressi-
bic hope that they bring with them
often stimulates belief in continued
success which leads to many bad

yet what would humanity ever accom-
plish without those same rays of hope
and sunshine?
Halstead's tastes, like those of most
seafaring men, ran to snug country
places on shore, racing studs, and good
company, though all within sight and
sound of the ocean. Mine, on the con-
trary, like most men who sail the sea

ANXIOUS TO PLEASE.
The Faithful Servant Was Eager to
Obey Directions and Wanted
Them Explicit.

\ Woodward avenue man, who looks
after large business interests, hired a
new coachman recently. He came
highly recommended and was conf
IDENTIFY depended upon to meet all the
requirements of his position. He has
snug quarters in the second story OF
the barn building, and this is connected
with the sleeping apartment of his en-
ployer by private telephone line.
Tom" said the man of the house
the other evening, whats the time by
your watch?'
Its 7:S0, sir"
Right to the minute" he agreed, as
he snapped his gold repeater. Now, l
must leave on an early train in the
morning, and l want you to call me at
four. It's very important, understand.
Can depend on you, Tom?"
"Yes, sir. All have TO do is to set my
mind on it. can awaken at any time.
Four o'clock it will be, sir"
About 1880 the man of the house was
startled from sound and invigorating
sleep by the telephone bell whirring
away like a buzz-saw moving through
knot. In his alarm, he feared oil
kinds of trouble, and hurried TO the
phone.
Hello, Tom," he shouted; whats
the matter? Barn afire:'

er. Every girl 1t is not with friends
that so kind would be to an entire
stranger"
She looked so cool and pretty, in the
shade under the awning, that 7 took
her little hand in mine and bent over
il for moment. Then hurried to the
upper deck with my bundle, and told
Dick he had better take my place be-
fore she went below. He relished the
suggestion so much that l had con-
siderable difficulty in first getting him
into white duck suit; being power
fully built fellow, white and gold were
exceedingly becoming TO Halstead.
After he left, l stretched myself in
one of the hammocks We had slung
'thwartships, and felt rather jealous
for a few moments. There is a charm
about the Spanish temperament which
eXerts strong fascination over men
of colder nationalities; and the Senior
ita Palacios, without necessarily be-
ing over-fond of either Halstead or
myself. had a frank and cousinly
friendliness of manner that banished
all suggestion of ceremoniousness at
the outset and led us into saying
things which one usually says to ac-
quaintances of many years standing
only. There is also a popularity of
tropic life at sea which has often i'm
pressed me. Wether it is the result
of forced inaction. or the relaxing in
iuence of the climate, is immaterial;
but under such conditions the formal
ity which custom has made inviolate
in temperate countries is simply out of
the question-as much so as tight or
cumbersome clothing.
My day with the senorita had been
such n pleasant one that it was diff
cult to fix my mind upon other mat
ters, but l finally settled down to
careful examination of the charts
which Halstead had left upon the
table. Those dollars and doubloons
beneath the heaving bosom of the Pa
cifc were, after all, chief mistresses
of our affections at that time.

TWAS But n Dream.

He listened intently. 1t was his wife
and her mother talking.

in a mother-in-law making long visits.
But, before go, l want to tell you what
a treasure think you have gained in
your husband. He seems to me to be
near perfection. Are you sure. how
ever, that you are not too strict with
him? Do not be quick TO chide him
when he stays out late. Men need
little latitude, you know-say, two or
three times a week.

TRANSLATION TOO LITERAL.
A German Students Laughable Trans
lation of "a Bible Quota
fiOn.

A Chicago man who has just returned
from a trip abroad that combined sew
eral months of professional study with
q number of weeks of sightseeing tells
a funny story of German medical
student who was inordinately proud
of his knowledge of the English Ian
guage. 1t occurred during recitation
hour in well-known college in Berlin
and the lesson had just been inter
rupted by the arrival of several promi
nent Germans accompanying dis
tinguished American traveller. The pro-
fessor in charge of the recitation saw
his opportunity to please the neted
visitor and Immediately proposed to his
linguistic pupil to translate verse OF
the German Bible into English. The
guest expressed his anticipatory pleas
ure, the Bible was opened, O verse
chosen at random and the proud stu
dent stood up and assumed an i'm
portant air.
The lines selected were from the
story of the apostels' sleep in the Gar
den of Gethsemane, "The spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh is weak, which
the medical student treated in the free
and easy manner of ''The ghost indeed
is ready, but the meat is poor"
