HEAR CUBANS' APPEALS.
(continued from Page 1)

Yored that kind of reciprocity but opposed any tariff concessions, whether in the name of reciprocity or free trade, that would sarifice any American interests.
 From this common ground the dis cussion proceeded amiably. The Gu bans, however, received little conso- lation. They represented that tho commercial and industrial welfare of the island demanded immediate tariff concessions that would stimulate trade and give them a market for their products.
 The delegates did not mince words in depicting the direful condition of affairs that would prevail in Cuba un- less the relief requested was granted ing bankruptcy, they claim. it is with out market for it's surplus products and is absolutely dependent upon the United States.
 The secretary explained the growth of our sugar beet industry. He said that in less than ten years our sugar beet growers will be able to produce all the sugar consumed in the United States. and that no infant industry better deserved protection.
 The delegates left the agricultural department convinced that they will have to meet the active opposition ol the sugar beet industry They arc now downcast. They will carry theil petition to congress.

 meouently asked. Because black SHOW would be dangerous, so would red or yellow. These are warming up col ors. and they change the suns rays to heat. Such snoW would melt again and prove q very peer protection. But white snow throws back the sunlfght in just the form in which it receives it. and thus the snow can he long on the ground.

don suburb There was a foolish kind .,
hanger-on of Sothern's who loved 70
boast of his intimacy with the lannon's
comedian. He had often said: 81 wish
you would let me help you in one Of
your practical jokes, Mr.. Sothern .
Sothern humored his desire. Mr. I'd.
gar Pemberton tells the story in his
Memoir of Sothern," says a writer in
The People:
The comedy must, for my purpose.
be reduced to a paragraph You know
now fond the professional ventriloouist
Is OF talking up the chimney to an mag.
mary man on the roof. Sothern had ar.
ranged for his slavish confederate to
mount the roof by a ladder and plav
the part of the voice on the roof. which
he did to perfection, and Sothern's suc.
cess as ventriloquest was voted moth
ing short of marvellous. Supper being
over, the party adjourned to another
room, at which point Sothern said
Goodnight" to his friend above at
which cue 1t had been arranged that tho
seance should be concluded. SOthern
mad, however, plotted against his man,
who, when he wished to descend found
that the ladder was gone. BY hook or
by crook the deceived confederate
found his way to the chimney of the
smoking room, where the supper party
were settling down for a long evening.
presently voice was heard calling
down the chimney: "Sothern Sothern!
For heavens sake come and helm mel
can't get down, and It's raining like
mad! Sothern was taken aback for a
moment, but only to be in ecstacies the
next at the EXPLANATIONS of his friends
who considered the voice only another
example of Sothern's skill 'YOu said
you could do no more. your voice was
urea, ana here it is stronger than everv'
Sothern, accepting the compliments of
his friends, managed in q short CONVEX.
sation with the voice on the roof to let
MS unhappy confederate understand
that as soon as possible he would 90 out
ana heip MIN down. After time, just
when Sothern was about to slip out
and release his friend, his host went to
the chimney, and, all the more to en-
phasize Sothern's success, as he thought
called out: Are you still there? This
was the last straw upon the rain
drenched back of the sufferer. ooh, go
TO biazes!" came the angry reply, and
with 1t piece of mortar that ratified
In the CRATE; you're a beast!"

He Believed He'd Remain.

An absent-minded farmer had an I'M
fortunate experience at a Memphis
hotel, which has induced him to jot
down few important words for use
the next time he goes TO the city.
He registered at the desk shortly af-
ter supper, and hung shout the office
until 8 O'Clock, when h. remarked to
the clerk that he believed he would
remain"
Very well, said the, afable clerk.
Another hour went by. and the old
farmer came again to the desk, and OBJ
served with decision:
II say, believe I'll remain"
"Of course, by all means, If you
WISH" again replied the clerk.
AS the clock struck eleven the old
man, now so sleepy that he could bare
ly keep his eyes open, angriiy called
OUT
by gum, say believe I'll remain.
Certainly, so you've said" answer
ed the clerk, land when you're ready
to retire you can find your key at the
desk"
Retire" yelled the farmer jump
ing to his feet. That's the word I've
been trying to think of for two hours
CT me that key. I'll sleep till 10 O'Clock
tomorrow to make up for lost timer

FLOWERS FOR MARKET,
Strangely Neglected Opportunities for
PROFIT in the South,

Florida is growing Bermuda onions,
Bermuda potatoes, ETC.; is it not rea-
Sonat'le to suppose she could grow Ber-
muda lilies as well? AS a matter of
fact, lilies as fine as can be produced
in the world are already being grown
in Florida, but so far nobody seems to
have gone into the business regularly
for supplying the Northern markets.
Florida lilies might be shipped to a
Northern destination in shorter time
and arrive in better shape than is posi-
bic from the island of Bermuda, says
the Savannah, Ga, News. The semi
tropical climate of South Georgia and
Florida is especially suited to the grow
ing of flowers. The floral wealth of the
Peninsula State, indeed gave it it's
name. Oddly enough, however, the
most of the flowers are grown in the
North. Down here we pay little atten-
ton to their commercial possibilities.
In cold Pennsylvania and New York
and colder Mt.higan several men have
become millioSaires in the seed bust
AA~Soi AVA MISUNDERSTANDING tiAtJ were uluer
the necessity If providing expensive
glass covers foS their young plants. In
Southern Florioa there would never %
necessity for covering young plants.
Bulbs for hyacLJths, tuberoses and the
various other hIlb plants could be
brought practically to maturity in Flor
Ida in time for shipment to the North
to catch the early spring warmth and
delight the Nortaerners with strong,
perfect, early ope&-air blooms. 1t seems
there ought to be money in the bulb
and seed business in South Georgia and
Florida to those who go about the bust
ness intelligently and are willing to
give time and patience to the work of
building up reputation.
