Some of the correspondents are writ
ing from Fort de France that St.
Pierre will probably never be rebuilt.
The destruction in that city was al
most absolute. Very little that is left
is worth saving. The fields along the
mountain side have been covered with
volcanic dust and ashes, and il may
be some time before vegetation can
be induced to live in such soil. Besides

that whatever commerce may have
been left 20 st. Pierre will be trans
ferred TO Fort de France. which will
in future transact the bulk OF the bus
mess OF the island.

Every utterance of President Palma
in regard to Cuban affairs since his
election has shown that he has a very
clear understanding of the response
bilities of his position and the difficult
ties his administration is likely to en-
counter. He says that it is his policy
to administer the government economi-
cally, and suggests that small salaries
be paid officials. He understands that
there is likely to be friction over the
payment of the Cuban army of Free
dom, but he does not intend to avoid
it by favoring the payment of all of
the armys demands. 1t is his purpose
to have the army roll carefully revised,
and when it is found who are entitled
to compensation he will recommend
that short term bonds, with which to
pay the debt, be issued
Close observers are of the opinion
that those who led the revolutionary
movement will resent being passed
over in choosing men to manage the
republics affairs. In their view they
are entitled to the offices, and there is
no doubt they need them for their sup
port, but, as a matter Of fact, they are
not nearly so well qualified for official
duties as are those who were not
active in displaying sympathy for the
cause of the revolution. This latter
class was composed of business men
and property owners. Their property
Ill
of neutrality. The leaders of the revo-
luton have, no doubt, a better claim
TO the Offices than those who were APP
parently Indifferent as to the result of
the struggle for independence,
but it is for the best interest of
Cuba that they should not be permit
ted to get the upper hand, not because
they are lacking in patriotism, but be-
cause they are lacking in qualifications
necessary for successful administra-
ton. What is particularly needed at
this time is conserve tive action, and
this is much more likely to come from
those who have prop rty interests than
from those who have little or nothing
in the way of property at stake.
President Palma expresses the
opinion that the Cuban people feel
grateful to the American people for the
fair and honorable way in which they
have been treated. In a recent inter-
view President Palma said, 1.-THE
United States stands out as an honor
able nation, having kept its promises
with US not from a sense of duty but
because it was a pleasure for the
American people to see us have our in
dependence" 1t is certain that he APP
preciates what the United States have
done for Cuba. He realizes, however,
that unless the United States lend the
Cubans helping hand by lowering the
tariff on Cuban sugar, the new republic
will find it extremely difficult to estab-
lish itself on a firm foundation. He
hopes for a reduction of thirty-three
Cuban sugar.
There is no doubt that both santa
ton and education will have the
strongest kind of support from him. He
realizes the Importance of both. But
he will have to be forceful and re-
sourceful in order to make his admins
tration a success. If he thinks his ad-
ministration will have smooth sailing
along its entire course he VIII be dis
appointed. He will encounter difficult
ties. and he must overcome them if the
republic is to live and prosper.

A Washington special in a Phila-
delphia paper makes the rather start
ling statement that Lord Pauncefote,
the British ambassador at Washing
ton, is dying of a broken heart, in
duced by criticisms concerning his con-
nection with the Spanish-American
war. 1t will be recalled that it was
alleged in the public prints, not great
while ago, that the United States had
sheltered an enemy during the war in
the person of a certain foreign diplo-
mat, and the allegation was finally mar
rowed down to the British ambassador,
with what degree of reason will prob
ably remain unknown. From the
rough way in which the matter was
handled abroad" says the special dis
patch referred to. Lord Pauncefote
became respondent and finally broke
down."

that ]. Pierpont Morgan's plans for
absorbing the White Star Line into the
rev shipping trust was held off by
woman, Mrs. Ismay, large sharehold-
er and the wife of one of the founders
of the line. 1t was Mrs. Ismay's pa

willing that the ships of the White

The Rural Mail Service.

The Atlanta Journal says South

mainly responsible for the rural mail
service which is growing so rapidly IN
favor and is already SO we'll establish

and benefit Of the people who reside

who represented this district in Con-
rress several years most efficiently.
The Journal goes on to say that the
rural mail service has come to be a
big business and there is strong ne
mand for it's extension. About b.
600 carriers are now employed and the
superintendent estimates that 10000
will be needed to make the service
practically complete. The gross cost
of rural free delivery throughout the
country is estimated at S24, 900, 600.

dollars in this service for two or three
years may be expected, that is to say.

has been the policy for many years
to keep the postal service up to q
grade Of efficiency beyond its in :cme.
but it has been found that q rapid
growth of revenue Invariably results
from this liability, 50 that a contlnu-
Gus improvement OF the service is
possible. The quality Of the service
is keptup to such i very high standard
that nobody objects to an annual post
al appropriation. Nc tax is paid
more cheerfully than this.
There is a just and general COM
plant about the abuse OF the second
class rate privilege which has caused
the deficit for the last few years. If
this rate were restricted to the classes
of matter to which it was intended to
apply the postotlice deartment would
require no appropriation and would be
able to extend its rural mail service
and make other improvements without
cost to the government. The rural
delivery has proved thoroughly sue
cessful. It's no longer an experiment.

cc;ved poultry and fodder, from the

bayc &c Saint-Germain gave him every
year pigs head; the Abbaye de Saint
Martin five loaves Of bread and five bot
Ties Of wine. Cakes were baked for him

in the community he exacted-heaTen

Look Ont For. Your Pate.

4 contemporary says pate" is slang
for head. 1t is, en-? Wherefore? Sure
ly the word is used in trivial Or de-
rogatory sense, as noddle, noggin, era
MUM, brainpan, etc, but its origin is
eminently respectable. Shakespeare
says "the learned pate ducks to the
golden fool" Pope's epigram is good:
You beat your pate and fancy wit will
come;
Knock as you please, there's nobody at
home.
We have 'bald pate" and "sha7e
pate" Why, the word is used once in
the Bible, and by David, in Psalm vii.
16, His mischief shall return upon his
own head, and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his own pate" Ac-
curately, pate does not mean the head,
but the crown Of the head.-New York

on to fiat bed Of short reeds. Here
she turned again and defed US. Again
the heavy guns roared. She spun round
and round several times. staggered, re-
covered and dashed off only to stop,
however, under the next tree. The .303s
cracked, and in wild chorus Of thank
full yells she topplcd over, rose again,
spun round and finally subsided into
the grass. We went up quite close to
finish her. She fought hard to rise and
have last charge, but the little pencil
like bullet again sped on its sad errand,
and the game old relic Of prehistoric
times breathed her last. We were sad
men as we gazed upon her grotesque,
misshapen form. Somehow one feels
