The BANANA PLANTER.
In Honduras He Is a Creature Whose
Philosopl,ic Calm Is Never
Disturbed.

"The small banana planter of Hon
duras is the happiest creature on
earth" said local shipper, reports the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. land
nothing ever removes him from his
philosophic calm. The frightful hur-
ricane which ragged along the Hondu-
rian coast on the LIST of the month alb
soluteIy destroyed scores of planta-
tons. The trees were plucked out OF
the earth like blades of grass, the
fragile buildings We're blown into kind
ling wood. and nothing whatever left
to tell the tale. Happening anywhere
else, such disaster would have been
tragedy of the first order, and meant
incalculable suffering, but nature is
very kind to her children on the banana
coast. All that is necessary to rehabili-
tate the rayaged plantations is to stick
a few clippings in the ground and wait
for them to take root and bear. The
work is usually divided between the
planter and his wife-she sets out the
clippings and he does the waiting.
Some time during the year. if he is not
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
planter does quantities of resting and
is happy"

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
i'll their honor, and ran over three Of
their own men, which gave the local
Red Cross people grand chance to APP
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, bu.
the Red Cross people were adamant and
bore them off on stretchers, whether
they would or no. The only thing want
ing to complete the picture was an
American flag. twas 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 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.
