PITY.

William II. Taft lectured recently in
Philadelphia on the Philippines. Mr.
Taft remarked, at the end of his lee
:ure, that there was too much senti
mental pity in the world.
"People-the poorest and most
wretched people-are happier than
we think for, as a rule" he said. TIC
eat when one is hungry, to sleep well
and comfortably, to warm oneself at
ter a days work in the cold-are not
they who have these things often
happy enough?
mo matter how wretched we are
we hold that our lot is not bad one
and we pity someone worse off. In

STAYED One Week.

John Barrett, the new United States
minister TO the Argentine Republic,
was received at Buenos Ayres with
great cordially. An account OF his
enthusiastic reception was sent to
the state department by Mr.. Barrett,
but it did not contain some OF the
most interesting details.
Bands played in celebration of Mr..
Barrett's arrival, and he was greeted
by prominent citizens, who escorted
him TO the best-known hotel in Buenos
Ayres. Mr.. Barrett was assigned to
a suite of rooms and settled down to
life in the Argentine city.
After his exciting experience as
Oriental agent for the st. Louis ex'
position, the quieter life in Buenos
Ayres was very acceptable to Mr..
Barrett. One day it occurred to him
that it might be well to ask the rate
he was to pay for his rooms.
Fifty eight dollars day." was the
suave reply of the clerk.
Mr.. Barrett enjoyed the hospitality
of the hotel for only one week.

DWARF BANANA FINE FRUIT.
Product Of Bermuda Of Which Little
Is EXported.

The dwarf banana Of Bermuda first
came from the Canaries. The fruit is
little larger than a mans finger, and
is compact in texture and rich in
flavor. The fruit grown in summer is
of higher quality than that grown in
winter-if the word winter can be
applied to a land in which the mer-
curry rarely registers as low as so de-
rrees and in which frost is unknown.
The single bunch that the tree bears
would weigh, of this dwarf sort, from
twenty-five to sixty or seventy pounds.
There is almost no expense required
in maintaining the plantation after 1t
is once established, and the gross an
nual income should be from $500 to
$500 per acre. The little bananas are
consumed entirely by the local mar
kets, for Bermuda is visited by tour
lists, it has large garrison, and the
resident people-some over 1900 all
tol ARE fond of fruit.

JAPANESE ARE TRUE POETS.
Chicago Club Woman Recalls Some OF
Their characteristics,

An observant Chicago club woman
who recently returned from Japan tells
the following interesting characters
tics of the little brown man:
HE is always a student and always
a poet. The sight of an almond tree
in full bloom will cause him to pour
forth his admiration in poetry, which
he writes on streamers of rice paper
and attaches to the limbs of the beau
tiful pink Towering tree. Such tree
may in few days become the shrine
of hundreds of devotees, each inspired
by the sight to a high pitch of poetic
fervor, which vents itself in the form
of more poems, SO that before the al
mond season is over whole orchard
is often a fiuttering mass of poetical
tributes to the beauties of fora.
Il have known hard working Jap
anese to save whole year in order to
take his family on trip to the noun
tains to hear and study the music of
a distant waterfall"
