A keen critic once said TO young wO-
man about to begin the study of paint
ing: When you look at a picture. do
not say at first even to yourself. 1 like
it or L don't like il Try 10 see what
there is in it,
The advice was sound. and it need
not be stretched thin to cover a much
larger region of life than that which
belongs IL art The quick. instructive
like or dislike which many a woman
conceiveS in the first hour of her ac-
quaintance with 4 person may be well
founded or it may be i'll founded. If it
iustificS itself, she remembers it and
prides herself on her knowledge of hu-
man nature; if it proves false. she for
gets all about it and in year would
deny that she had ever diSliked the
person. or at best she would defend her
mistake by quoting. "'Tis safest
TO begin with a little aversion"
In point of fact, the power of sus-
pending judgment on book, picture,
man. woman or plan is the mark of
well trained mind. The judgments
worth anything are based on something
stronger than "a woman's reason i
think him so because l think him so."-

HOPE FOR CUBAN RECIPROCITY
CuIIOm Sure the Treaty VIII win-Trou-
BILE About the Isle of Pines.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Cullom. chair
man of the senate committee on for
Cign relations. had a conference with
the president yesterday concerning the
pending Cuban reciprocity treaty. Tia:
the treaty will be ratified CullOm fui-
ly believes, in common with other Re-
publican senators; but it is realized
by the senate leaders that there is
some disposition to oppose the treaty
with the omnibus statehood bill. Advo-
cafes of the statehood measure arc
willing TO support the treaty. but they
want Il vote on their measure. and
are inclined 10 effect an arTangement
involving a vote at an early date on
both propositions.
Another difficulty has arisen i'm Gu
ba. \ telegram from Havana explains
it as follows: THE United StateSans

that the island be made United States
property is not purely sentimental.
since as a Cuban possession it would
receive no more than 30 per cent tar

for freer trade with the United States

that it has de facto control over the

that it therefore is authorized TO levy /,

functions
