the Cuban cannot govern himself; the
better class is in so small a percentage
ii is powerless while the blacks, Chinese
and Indians are mixed together in a
great big tumble of discomfort They
are disconnected with everything that
means prosperity and they hate an
American first and above all. They can
not be trusted out of sight and 1 shall
be very much surprised if there is not
trouble as soon as our troops are with
drawn. The Havana policeman is pro-
tected by the strictest laws, armed with
revolver club and machete, yet when
there is a small riot they are obliged to
send for our boys to come in and put
ii down. The Cuban is really about on
par with his money and that is worth
about 10 cents on the dollar.
Now, as to the chances; first if you
have money, come down and start an
American hotel, or a boarding house;
rents are high but that makes no diff
ference for you can charge a cores
ponding price and get it. Fifteen dol
lars per month is cheap for a single
room and a dollar a day is about the
lowest price for two meals and cup of
coffee and a roll in the morning. Then
there is large opening in
the cattle business and others in farm
ing, fruit raising, market gardening
and all that sort Of work.
A man with a few dollars can make
money at any of those for he cam raise
tropical stuffs in the summer and
northern vegetables in the winter. get
ting two, and sometimes three, crops
from the one piece of land. Then there
are lots of chances along the merchan-
disc lines but you will have to learn
many things if you go into these, but

even in summer and the evenings are
cool; if you can only fix your room so
the breeze can get through it.
Still air is hot everywhere, but here
there is very little of it. Yes, truly,
it is a delightful climate and good
place for New Englanders to come.
Now that does not mean to come
down here expecting to pick up a good
living for nothing. for prices are very
high and it costs three times as much
to live here as in the states Part Of
tn Il is owing to the difference in money
and part of the inability of the Amerl-
cans to supply each other. If there
were American dealers, prices would
be very much lower, especially for ma
tive raised produce, but the Chinese
control the produce business and the
Spanards retail from them. OF course
there are American stores, but only one
of a kind. so there is no competition to
bring the prices down.
There is work here, however, and
money to be made though it will be a
long time before the Spaniard is pushed
out of his place; for ne is not the lazy'

but a good smart trader, honest and re-
liable. and as sharp as a Jew. So do

With unclaimed hands and tousled

Mark TWain's cps"

Women have long labored under the
heavy charge that they put into the
postscripts of their letters the most
important part of their communica-
tions. Like many other idiosyncrasies
supposed to be purely feminine, this
weakness is found to be shared by so
superior a masculine example as Mark
Twain. On the book Of dainty pro-
spectus of Harper's Magazine for 1902
appears the fac-simile of an extract
from a letter of the humorists to the
Harpers, reading as follows: p. 5

Second. Finding unparalleled
gas and oil indications on Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering hill of
about five arcres on Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three
miles north Of the Jennings Oil
Well, where gas and oil abound
and upon which it was at first
intended to sink a well. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE A. LA BUTTE, the
SPINDLETOP of Mamou Prairie
was secured, and this is a real
Spindle Topinevery sense. This
six acres lies within a mile of
Bayou Cane, tributary of Mer-
mentau river and just north of
Mermentau station where the
Southern Pacific railway crosses
the Mermentau river, giving
easy and cheap access to an out
let to market.
This is where the Prairie

will within the next 80 days be-
gin to sink a we'll with the prom
Use in advance of a gusher. 1t is
about one-fourth of mile south
east of the noted gushing well of
the Jennings Oil Co.
We intend to bore our second
we'll on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore in event others see fit to
develop any adjacent thereto and
meet success.
The Company will offer $4,000
shares for sale at so cents per

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-

deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen.
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at 5000, 900.
Captain D. e. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of unquestionable in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president Of this
company.
From the organization of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots Of really oil
lands throughout the oil belt of
CalcaSleu parish, Ignoring IN a
measure large bodies Of indiffer-
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,

ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat a

cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
