 or Martinique. Nature seems to far man may forget what forces lie ha- yond his ken. The beauty and noefrv of 1t all may Rot be found in the bor- TOT.

FOREST PARK.

Now that the circus is over people will begin once more to turn their thoughts in the direction of Forest park and they will turn in the right direction. The entertainment being given up there this week is corker and no mistake. It is only repeating the success of last week. Every number on the program is well done and well received. This little theater should be crowded to the doors for the rest of the week for there is no more delightful place to pass a few hours and enjoy clever show. All the att fractions are still there and every at tention is paid to the entertainment of visitors. So far the arrangement has received the congratulations of every body who has visited the place and both of the managers say that they will do everything to merit approba- ton and that everything will be con ducted in so thorough a manner that those who go once will be anxious to go again. 1t is the only spot in the city where you can get away from the heat and dust and spend few pleas ant hours.

HER SAD STORY

s.Of all the lodges to beat land lords,'' said the real estate man, T was up against one to-day that breaks the record"
 s"What happened?' asked the cash fer.
 Well, you see, out in the Bjornsen flats is a woman who mas not paid a cent of rent for three months. 1 want ed to get her out by the first of the year. so I served fve-day notice on her a week ago. The suit came up to- day and. depending on the justices clock being the usual quarter of an hour late, 1 was ten minutes behind time. I suppose the clerk wanted to make a few Christmas calls and had set the clock ahead His honor in formed me that the case had been called, the defendant had appeared and he had continued the suit for ten days
 What reason did. she give?'' asked the cashier.
 Why, when I asked the judge he looked at me as if he thought me a merciless wretch, and then called the next case. After a while I got his honors ear and explai ined to him that the woman was several months in ar rears, had promised frequently to move and that l had tenant who wanted to move in January r.
 What aid he say then|
 ".Do you think he thundered, I would have poor woman and five lit tie ones put out in the street at Christ mas time?
 ".Fiye little ones!' I gasped. Why, your honor. she hasn't child to her name and she has been beating land- lords for years
 .The judge looked at me as if he be- lieved l was prevaricating. Then a thought struck me- Your honor.' I said, the i've little ones she refers to must be the five little puppies I saw there week ago.
 That knocked him out, I suppose" said the cashier.
 Did itn' calculated the real estate man. His honor gazed up in the air meditatiyely and light broke over his face
 We'll, she told me the truth. any way he said. She said their father was brute and did nothing to support them, and gave her dollar to buy candy for the little ones.'"
 Was he mad?'' asked the cashier
 lie told me he would fine me S1O if l was late the next time.''
 Can't you collect the dollar?, asked the cashier.

Havana, Cuba, Feb. 22.-The most i'm

accomplished in Cuba. under the United
States military government is the work
>of the board of public instruction. The
Spanish authorities paid practically no at
tention to this essential feature of public
work during their long reign, and all
matters pertaining to education had fallen
to the lowest level. There was not a
single schoolhouse on the entire island.
There were no high schools. What few
teachers there were eked out poverty
stricken existence from the pursuit Of
their profession. In regard to institutes
the situation was no better. The course
of instruction was imperfect and Of no
practical value to young persons with life
before them. The operations of these in
stitutes were marked by most brazeD
and, shameful traffic in certificates. It was
an open secret that for a money consid-
Grafton any one could procure a diploma,

graduates were turned out equipped with
bachelor degrees who were not even COM

Children Are Apt Pupils.
The children enter very readily into
their studies and prove apt pupils. Inc
fact that the same alphabet and figures
are used in both the English and Spanish
languages, makes them apt pupils: They
learn to write. quickly. They can draw
we'll and excel in those studies which re-
quire an exercise Of the memory. But
they do not get along so well in grammar
and mathematic as could be desired. The
girls soon become expert with the needle,
and the boys show an aptitude for the use
of tools that is very gratifying to the
opponents of the manual training feature.
The little folks had one habit that gave
the authorities great amount OF trouble
1t seems it was the Spanish custom to al
low the pupils to study their lessons
aloud, and although the greater portion OF
the pupils now enrolled had never been in
a schoolroom before the present ones were
established by the military government,
they all had the idea that the more noise
they could make with their mouths the
faster they could learn their lessons I'M

their full vocal powers as they wrestled
with the knotty problems of the moment.
If one happened in a small town or viii

did not have ITO, inquire the way-unless
one was as deaf as a post. This sense

get over the idea that their mouths must
work with their minds, but 1t is easy to

No Color Line Yet.
There are two facts in connection with
the school work in Cuba that are contrary
to general opinion. One often sees the
statement in print, or hears of it by word

Correspondence of The Journal.
London, Feb. l5.-Queen Wilhelmina's
recent disappointment in the hope of an
heir brings into prominence one Of the
richest grand dukes in Europe-Prince
William Ernest of Sake Weimar, at pres
ent the heir apparent to the throne Of the
Netherlands, who inherited from his
grandmother fortune of $20,00O,000.
:" It was rather an extraordinary chance
that made this young man of ~ grand
duke of one of the most important of the
Saxon duchies, as we'll as next in success
sion to the girl-queen of Holland. His
mother was the daughter Of King William
II. of Holland, and the sister of Queen
Wilhelminas father. William III. Prob
ably nothing was further from the prin-
cess's mind than that one day son OF
hers would become heir apparent, for,
besides the king, she had another brother,
Prince Henry, and before she married the
eldest son OF the Grand Duke OF SAKE
Weimar and left Holland for Germany,
both her royal brother and Prince Henry
had married, and the king had an heir.
Fortune, however, was bent on playing
FRANKS. The kings son became dissipated
and died unmarried after a chequered
career, and although Prince Henry mar
ried twice, he had no children. So it
happened that late in life. the Grand
Duchess Of Sake eimar found herself In
the remarkable position Of heiress pre-
sumptive to the throne, waiting for a
little girl, her own niece, now Queen
Wilhelmina.
Naturally the, Dutch people, who for
many years have been perplexed by the
uncertain succession, would much prefer
a son of their beloved queen to the grand
duke, and that young man himself is
! credited with hoping sincerely that his
cousin and her consort may be blessed
with an heir. The grand DUKES interests
! are all in Germany and 1t would be
rather a bore to have to divide his time
between the Netherland and the duchy.
/ This young ruler takes great pride il
his grand duchy, for his subjects are
sober, Industrious folk, and the country {
| productive one. Its many relics OF thu
past are interesting alike to students O
history and lovers of Wagner One o
| them Is the famous castle of Eisenach
4 where Luther lived and died Thousand
come from far and near to see thu
i famous room where Luther translated tn,
! Bible, and the black spot on the wal
made by the inkstand which the schola,
aimed at the head of his Satanic majesty
Sake Wefmar was the first German
state to be granted liberal constitution
and freedom of the press. In ruling hi
domain, the grand duke is aided by
ministry Of four and an assembly Of thir
ty-one members. Despite his youth, tn
ruler ranks as the senior Of the heads o
the four Saxon duchies, and in case tn
royal family of Saxony should die out, b
would be called to mount the throne o
! that country.
