WHAT A GUEST SHOULD NOT DO.

People apt 10 imagine that the conditions OF
weather, climate, etc. they find at country resort
are its usual concomtants. If during their stay a
warm wave prevails ii is in their opinion the hot
place in America. II it is cloudy, they say that
the shines; If windy that it is always
blowing; if cold that it is bleak. etc In vain the
inhabitants Of the place deprecating such judg-
ment, take pains to the polite but secretly
unbelieying visitor that unpleasant state OF
the weather is most unprecedented.
1T is bad that this extraordinary hot wave
has just this time they say. 1T is always
cool here; this heat is quite exceptional Or 1T is
most unusual TO have successive days Of rain and

To Lgtfearted Population Refused Believe There
Danger, Though the Warming Was Ample

| to say whether there was danger there
or not. Then, too. the governor was
coming, and. moreover. his family was
coming with him. Could there posi-
bly, be any danger where so eminent
and so important personages as these
were? Also a company of soldiers
from Fort de France were coming,
and while the St. Pierrans were talk
ing of their arrival the company ap-
peared.
1t seems singular that the presence
Of this small band of soldiery should
have inspired a misplaced confidence,
but 1t was so. though none seems to
have asked what good the soldiers
could have done. or even the might
est army have effected against vol
canic Pelee.
The governor came. and with him
his family arrived from Fort de France
on the little steamboat Topaz. With
the governor came the geologists, the
wise men who were to sit in judg-
ment and to so fatuously mis- sjudge.
They pondered long. and then gave
fatal assurance that all was well. The
papers printed, drew a long breath of
relief and then turned their attention
to other things. to affairs of business
and pleasure and all that goes to
make up the indolent, happy life of
the pleasure loving natives of this
isle. And that night-the night OF
May 7-the wise men hastened back
to Fort de France.
The governor and his family were
to have followed the next day. the
French cruiser Suchet having been di-
rected TO leave her anchorage at Fort
de Franc at : O'Clock for the purpose
of bringing home the governor and his
party.
That plan. if carried out. would
have brought the cruiser to her doom,
and her crew will never cease to
thank their saints and bless the blum
dering mechanic who broke something
in the engine-room as the vessel was
about getting under way, which aCci-
dent delayed her departure and proba-
bly, saved the lives of all on board.

Pierre and runs sheer TO the sea.
Its northern wall was precipitous

Thomas 7. Prentiss. United States
consul at st. Pierre, was sitting on
the veranda at his nome in the early

friend came driving by in a buggy.

he called to the consul. Il am getting
out, and getting out as fast as | can.
"Oa. you are just merely a little
scared" Mr.. Prentiss replied. There
is no need of anyone going away"

his team and hastened on.
