Napoleon In Evergreen.

The great Napoleon, done in ever
green, is the unique statue that stands
in the garden of M. d'Aguilleres, in the
suburbs of Paris. The statue is perfect
model of the "little corporal" in char
acteristic attitude, wearing a cooked
hat and sword and snuffbox in hand.
The features are very lifelike
The greatest care is necessary in order
to preserve the likeness, and the artist
gardener spends considerable time in
clipping off dead leaves and cutting
away an occasional branch. The sigma
ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the
foot of the statue in flowers. Paris

BACK TO CUBA.
Since Cuba has been freed frcm SPANS bond
age Americans have found out one or two Things
about Cubans that they did not know before

day when r. Estrada Palma, delegate OF the
Cuban revolutionists to this country VINO al
lowed himself all through the war to be spoken
10 and written about as the head OF the CUBAN
Junta I'm America, and who allowed large sums
OF money to be raised for Cubans and intrusted
to that so-called Junta for distribution calmly
declared that there had been no Cuban Junta In
this country at all.
"I. personally was the whole delegation" he
said. II was the sole responsible representa-
tive of the revoutionists" The men who were
associated with him. and who It was thought
were his associates and shared the responsibility
Of the fund, he now says were simply his as
sistants. The fund. he says was absolutely and
exclusively subject TO his order.
Being asked what the fund had amounted to-
he said he did not think" 1t exceeded S1,0OO.OOo.
Being further asked whether there was any un-
expended part of that million left In his hands,
he acknowledged that there was but added that
he would not care TO make the amount pubic
Mr.. Palma coupled this extraordinary inter-
view with the statement that he was considering
