"a Guy What Needed a JOB"

When Willie X. Vanderbilt was at Har-
ward he was one Of the most democratic
students there, despite the fact that he
had millions at his command. Many say
that he carried it too for and in his dress
he was decidedly careless. About this
time the writer happened to be connected
with a local morning paper and pub
links that William K. Vanderbilt was to
have laid out for his private use at Lex
ingtOn."
The day of the publication of the story
there came into the editorial rooms of
the paper a young fellow who in the
rallied him and demanded to know his
business, was "a guy what needed job. >"
His trousers bagged at the knee; in fact
his clothes looked as if the person who
before. The individual in question had
an utter disregard for the uses of a
necktie, for it was running a race
around his collar"
The office boy notified the city editor
of the presence of a visitor and was told
hand the caller walked up to the city
editor, saying: Il am Mr.. Vanderbilt
and l have come here for the purpose of
denying a story that you published about
denial of it in your next issue. l never

never will That account in your paper
is simple rot, and | wish it denied
Without another word the young mil
lionaire walked out.

enough for him. Racing automobiles at
seventy miles an hour is his favorite
paStime, and any man who finds pleasure

Salvation Of
Cuba Is Tuber
Special TO The Globe.

Special TO The Globe.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. II. -
Whist all kinds of schemes, large and
small, are being brewed for the benefit
of the unfortunate Cuban, even to the
extent of selling his malarial, alligator
ridden sWamps for town lots, it seems
to me that one of the simplest schemes
for really benefiting the purse depleted
patriots is being overlooked.
During winter spent in Jamaica,
some few years ago, l was immensely
impressed with the commercial posi-
bilitieS of the winter growing vegetable
industry.
Of course, in the old days the diff
Guilty of mark citing the crop would
have been insuperable; but all that is
changed by the opening of the new
railways and the increased transporta-
ton facilities now existing and to be
developed between Cuban and Ameri-
can ports.
What 1 then saw as a, big possibility
for Jamaica can be equally applied
now to the PeaA of the Antilles.
I observed IN Jamaica that oranges
and coffee are the chief products of the
mountainous parts, sugar and bananas
of lower levels and valleys. Vegetables
are scarcely cultivated al all; the negro
population, numbering over 100000, is
lazy and worthless. and cannot be de-
pended on as labOrers; they grew a few
vans on their little ClearingS and were
then content to lie in the shade Of their
cocoas and mangoes and let the year
go by. The coffee industry languishes;
there is hardly any sugar-making
worth talking of now going on; there
is not in the whole island a single
orange grove, recognizable as such by
an American cultiVat0r; all Jamaica
oranges are. practically wild, and Of
numerous varieties, some poor, some
the best in the world, but all alike
jumbied together for export: so that
Jamaica oranges have a bad name.
There is an American company in con-
troll of the banana trade, and the eX-
port is as large as the consumption
warrants; but no vegetables are ex-
ported at all. The steady work on the
plantation is done by coolies brought
under contract from India, and regard
ed with disfavor by the negroes. Now
if 10000 acres only were set apart for
the cultivation of vegetables during
the months from December to April,
and the produce placed for sale in our
seaboard cities, the profits, over and
above all expenses and accidents would
be so enormous that I shall not state
them: the balance sheet has been care
fully worked out and revised; they
would amount to many millions of dol
/ lars each season.
Now the opportunity which Jamaica
has lost can be easily seized by Cuba,
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-01-18

which is a hundred miles nearer to US,
and has many of the facilities already
existing for starting up such a business
without further delay.
OF course, the proposition arises:
why did not Jamaica make the at
Tempt"
1 will say, because the cost of the
plant required renders it impossible
for an ordinary individual or aggrega-
ton of individuals to undertake it.
You must have, in the first place,
fleet of six or eight fast freight steam
ers which will make the trip to New
York inside three days (the- distance
is a little over 1000 miles). Then you
must have wharfs. and warehouses in
the principal cities to receive the cor
goes, and men to handle them promptly
and skillfully;. and shops in the cities
where the best of the produce can be
sold directly to the private buyers
Meanwhile, in Jamaica, there must be
a large and trained force of cu1tiyators
and overseers, with farm tools and
buildings of all kinds, and an abund-
ance of facilities for transporting the
produce swiftly from the fields to the
ports. -...-.-s.
The unity and desperation needed
could not be found in. jamaica, where
as under the manipulation of Ameri-
can financial strategists Cuba can 60
ahead and make a very profitable thing
out of such a scheme
The preliminary and working ex-
penses would be large, it is true, but it
would be safe to establish the returns
would be so large that in two or four
years the outlay would have been re-
paid and clear annual profit of millions
in sight. While the present prices Of
vegetables in Northern cities will de-
cline with an increased supply, the in
creasing prices of other food. such as
meat, fish and cereals, guarantees suf-
ficiently high prices to make the enter
prise pay.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-01-18

on this food question, and the Key hath
been at the bottom of a we'll these
many years!
Why should not water cleanse? Why
should it not invigorate in the bath?
Why not is it the only known remedy
against Katzenjammer? Why should
it not be the only product that reaches
the spot, in a great thirst?
If only now we are getting back to
good sense in food matters, through
the water theory, it is because the
books of guessers and theorists have
handed down the baseless distinction
between hunger and thirst. The new
foods will be welcomed by a wide con-
stituency that does not like to be both
cred. That untold member of liquid
organic structures as yet invisible can
not show up against the food trust any
too soon-if they began to be here
right now.

Early in life Dr.. F. Geo. Curtis formed the
conclusion that he would become an eye and

eminence in all the branches OF medicine and
surgery and he was positive that II he gave
his entire attention to the treatment of the
eye and ear ne would become qualified for the

AS a member of the senate in 1893,

bill to pass the country elevator law

in the house. Peterson took up the
measure in the senate, and by entering
into combination with the drainage bill
supporters, managed to pass it in the
upper house. 1t was sent to the house
and again showed under.

Peterson was felt. The capitol bill was

DIR. Curtis appeals especially to those
who are disguised with strong drugs
and barbarouS methods that do more
harm than the disease they are sup
posed to cure: he appeals to sufferers
threatened with cruel and warrant
ed operations. and to men and women
who. in spite of heroic efforts. feel
themselves steadily becoming blind
or deaf. and to those who have been
pronounced "incurable."
If you are blind or deaf the chances
are that you have tried everything
and everybody-have grown worse
instead of better. but this Is because
OF the fact that while you have tried
new doctors you have received the
same old medicines-remedieS that
have been prescribed by the old
school physicians for two hundred
years or more. In this day and age
