PRESIDENT PALMA
GREATLY PLEASED
THINKS TREATIES HAVE RE-
LIEVED WHAT MIGHT HAVE BE.
COME AN EMBARRASSING SIT
UATIoN FOR TWO COUNTRIES.

Havana, July 1S-President Palma has
sent letter to President Roosevelt ex-
pressing his personal qualification for the
consideration shown the United States
throughout the negotiations of the treaties
and also his pleasure over the satisfactory
conclusions regarding naval stations and
the Isle of Pines questions.
The Cuban administration is greatly
pleased over the action of the senate on
the treaties. which it believes relieves
what might have become an embarrassing
situation for the United States and Cuba
The authorities learn that the amount of
government land within area of the naval
station at Guatanamo Is much greater
than was supposed. The expense of ac-
quiring the private holdings will not be
great.
Condemnation proceedings, under the
present Spanish law have practically been
completed by the government The gun
boat Nashville will proceed at once to
Bahia Honda, where she will be Joined
by the Cuban engineers. The area of the
station at Bahia Honda includes lands on
both sides of the harbor.

TrustfuIness Of Woman.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Fate's irony WAS certainly very much in
evidence in the piteous story of the Mad
ison. Ill, woman who gained from one
man s3s3.33 for breach Of promise only to
be despoiled of the money by another
whom she had promptly married
The trouble with women seem to be that
they trust men just as naturally as the
sparks fly upward or water runs down
hill One would think that this Madison
woman at least should have known bet
ter. She had just been most cruelty de-
celved by a man. surrendering her young
affections only to be fouted at the last,
thus receiving practical proof Of the fact
that the sterner sex is mighty onsar-
tin"
Yet, when a second man comes along
and talks sweet nonsense to her. the first
thing she does is 70 trust her life into his
keeping. and the second is to allow her
money TO 20 into the same custody.
This truth of womanly confidence In
man must he considered In contemplating
the trend Of feminnity to compete with
masculine guile IN the world Of business
and industry. How can they compete2
They are Waterford. so to speak. at the
very beginning. because they can no more
help placing faith IN masculine assurance
than they can keep from walking pigeon
toed on one foot.
Man wouldn't ask anything better than
TO have woman as competitor on
change or anywhere else in the strenuous
world with one hand tied behind him,
he can fool just as many of her daily as
there are hours In the day or minutes in
the hours, provided they come on swiftly
enough 10 keep him busy.

fore they burst and scatter their seeds,
and at the arboretum they had to be
drilled and set In hot water to force them
open. They were as full of fragrant ball
sam, however, as If they had been pluck
ed but yesterday, and as full of vigorous
life.
OF course this work OF raising little
cedars is still experimental, and the
seedlings are nurtnred as carefully as IL
they were so many children. At first
they were all kept in the greenhouses
in their boxes: then, when they had
passed their first birthday and the
warmth of spring began to stir in them.
a few at a time were set out of doors.
The change of habitation seemed benofi-
cal, but the arboretum is not 'risking
all its eggs In one basket" and until the
youngsters in the open air give unmis-
taxable evidence of hourishing perma-
nently those under glass will not be ex-
posed.
There are. IN the far east, cedars OF

MODEL ALABAMA FARM
NEAR UNION SPRINGS

Nine miles northeast from the beautiful
city of Union Springs lies one of the pref
test farms in Alabama. owned and op-
Grated by Capt E. Napier Its broad and
fertile acres reach over a vast territory.
On this farm great rieks Of oats. wheat,
and hay greet the eye on all sides.
Green fields Of cotton stretch far out be-
fore you, and shlramering corn adds to
the beauty of farm life. Gentle reader,
It would do your soul good to ride over
these fertile acres and behold what God
has placed in mans possession.
While I sat on my horse scanning this
beautiful scene. my eyes beheld his pas
ture lands, and there roamed the Berk-
shires. sixty or seventy in a lot. grazing
upon clover, perfectly at home. His herd
numbered some three hundred, more or
less. The public road runs through the
pasture, separating 1t into two divisions.
l was interested In his device for trans
ferring the hogs from one pasture to an
other. He had deep ditch dug across the
road and bridge across the ditch, and
the hogs go through this ditch, into either
pasture, without obstructing the public
highway. This is an original idea of the
captains.
Wagons carry daily from this farm to
market, wheat, oats. and hay while some
are kept busy hauling and filing houses
and barns all over the farm. You can't
pass house but the breezes remind you
1t is harvest time.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1903-07-19

Late In the afternoon, while I was out
at the barn. a negro drove in with a large
load of oats on a frame, drawn by a SPLEEN
did yoke of oxen. After driving IN, he
took loose his oxen. and I asked him
what he was going to do with his oats.
He said he was going to leave them in the
frame for the mules and horses to eat.
In a few moments the mules and horses
came in, and as each was relieved Of the
harness took a position at the frame and
began to eat I asked the negro If he
wasn't rather extravagant in feeding. His
reply, NO, sir boss, wen gather here
until frost falls"
The negroes on this place are obedient,
polite and attentive to their duties. Just
north Of the residence stands one of the
prettiest groves, with variety of gigantic
oaks, with great spreading branches,
stands out as living monument of God S
goodness to man. The land on which
these beautiful oaks stand will make a
bale of cotton per acre, but the genial
captain says they must stand. and 1t
shows love of nature and a high appre-
citation of the gift of his Maker.
My visit to this farm will long be re-
membered. He has a beautiful orchard,
and quite a variety of Observation-Disclosures
ries dewberries, Strawberries and rasp-
berries. Ny fondness for the captain S
cream and berries will never cease. He is
an ideal host and a scholarly gentleman.
In the fewest words. in praise of this
farm,
His fields with wheat are covered Ger,
And plenty sat smiling at his door"

California Scenery.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic.
AS long as there remains the love of
beauty in the human soul, so long will
the glory Of California scenery, and that
OF the whole Pacific coast, prove a source
of inspiration to the poetic mind De-
scriptive verse has been from the BEGIN
ming a marked feature of the literature
OF this region. In fact. the term Gland
scape poets may be properly applied to
this bevy of song birds which seemed to
the late Maurice Thompson to have TAX
en- complete possession of the entire
western seaboard." Suffice 1t to say that
If volume Of verse were written bv a
Californian which reflected nothing of the
states scenic beauty or its warmth of
color, 1t would not only come as sur
prise to most reviewers but the LOYALTY
of the poet might be seriously questioned
While all this display of local
color may seem too apparent an effort on
the part of Californians to place upon
their work the stamp of a definite locali-
ity, and may be considered by some a
cheap form Of art, 1t is this very sensi-
tiveness to the beauty and grandeur with
which nature has clothed the west that
offers the most promise of its rapid lit
erary advancement--a sensitiveness. more
over. that will become more and more
acute with the cultivation Of the higher
faculties through increasing educational
growth.

Don't drink alcoholic liquors. or bever-
